    No start and I hear clicking like flashers

    You gotta love what a loose battery cable can do to any electrically controlled vehicle. I had a terminal for a ground cable on a toyota split couldn't see it until a friend of mine towed the truck home and grabbed the cable and pulled it off.:nutkick:

    anybody!! how to improve MPG on llifted truck

    Did you switch tire brands and or style of tire? Different manufacturers tires have different weights. Your new 40s could weigh up to 80lbs more per tire and that extra rolling resistance as well as a different tread pattern doing the same thing. If you had it geared for the 38s the regearing it...

    map sensor ?

    Well here's what I've found so far is that if the map sensor voltage doesn't correlate with the tps voltage it will do this so the banks is doing something to the map sensor voltage that the pcm doesn't like. The damn thing won't do it with the banks unhooked though and banks had it for a week...

    towing with lift

    x2 A friend of mine did the spring over on his trailer which most older fifth wheels seem to need anyway with today's 4x4s he also put the biggest tire he could on the trailer and it still didn't sit level. The trailer will sway more and you're for sure going to wear out bearings,brakes, and...

    map sensor ?

    Ok I'm getting frustrated with this thing now. I had a problem recently that caused the throttle to do nothing and the truck would rpms would surge uncontrollably regardless of pedal position. I could put the pedal to the floor and nothing then the truck would take off no smoke either. So they...

    This is ineffective soundproofing !

    I hate to tell you guys this but the first picture has nothing to do with soundproofing but helping with soundwave redirection for the speaker in the door and you would be blown away how that little bit of sound deadener will help that speaker sound much louder and smoother. I was an installer...

    Question Banks Six-Gun with speedloader

    I haven't had any problems with my six-gun and I run it on 5 for regular driving and 6 with adjusted fueling parameters more fuel in the first couple gears then backed down once up to speed and egt's are never a problem. As far as their customer service went I had to send it back because of a...

    temperatues while towing

    that's about what mine does and it doesn't get any warmer when I double the weight to 15k. keep it in tow/haul it just adjusts line pressure and delays your shifts reducing your converter slippage

    Lockers Anyone?

    the ox locker is garbage. they say it's bullet-proof but for the fork to move and lock the two haves together you have to rock back in forth learned this the hard way at EJS. the eaton is the same as a detroit w/selectability in case you didn't know eaton owns detroit.

    Coolant loss

    Hey I just went through this and it was a cracked egr cooler you'll notice some significant loss if you tow a load under normal driving it won't be to noticeable. Have you noticed any heavy white smoke on full throttle acceleration?

    05 f250 egr issues

    No wonder ford lost so much money in the last couple of years. If you create something that has ongoing issues you need to take care of it. Hopefully they take care of us a friend of ours had a similar problem which ended up with a dealer buyback but they had to really fight for it. It's just...

    Viper Alarm Issue

    Hiding the valet button only keeps the honest people honest besides the fact that with Directed alarms the customer is supposed to change the number of pulses required to disarm. Default being one so I guess your neighbor never changed it. I'm a former installer and I just left my dangling...

    Thinking about Banks six gun

    I have the Banks six-gun I love the tuner but happened to have one of those trucks where mpg did not increase 14-15 city/highway no matter what. I really only noticed the difference in throttle response and need for a new tire other than the stock p.o.s. My major gripe with the tuner is that you...

    05 f250 egr issues

    Yeah it was the camshift position sensor and the trailer is a 33ft Tahoe toyhauler 15k gross. It doesn't make sense though that the cooler would go out again especially since the egt's never got above 1100 pre-turbo. I'm just tired of these frequent trips to the dealership. What happens when my...

    05 f250 egr issues

    I've started having egr issues since my truck hit 50k with egr sensors failing. The first time the dealer replaced it and it happened about three weeks later turns out the egr cooler was leaking. Since I didn't tell them my wife forgot to tell them the first time I noticed we were losing coolant...
