    new truck

    keep us updated on how you like it. I'll be in the market for one sooner or later too. I just cant justify the cost of diesel or the cost of a new one. How does the power feel to you? Feel like when you nail it to pass someone it will get up and go, or just drag?

    Fan clutch

    how in the heck to you get to the back of all of it? seems like the fan/fan housing is in the way and there wouldnt be a whole lot of room to get back in there.

    Question Failing Water Pump Causing High Tranny Temps?

    well, i got under there and started looking around today (had to change the coolant and fuel filters). From what i can tell, it looks like the water pump is only leaking from the top right next to the t-stat housing. i had the t-stat housing leaking a while back and got that fixed, but this...

    Question Failing Water Pump Causing High Tranny Temps?

    Basically, im asking this... Since I have installed the 6.0 tranny cooler, shouldnt I expected my temps to be no more than say 60-70* above ambient instead of 100*? Following that logic, if I do see them closer to 100* over ambient...it could signal signs of trouble?

    Question Failing Water Pump Causing High Tranny Temps?

    Question Failing Water Pump Causing High Tranny Temps?

    My water pump has been leaking a little around the seal for quite some time, and now with it getting pretty hot...im thinking it might be starting to go. I don't have an engine coolant temp gauge other than the idiot light on the dash, but I do have a transmission temp gauge and noticed it...

    Ms. Boaters new skids

    so you cant rock it forward to get behind it? seems like i thought there might have been storage back there or something... nice thing is, is that you can lift the seat up and you have a whole cargo area available to you. are there any locking cargo compartments in the truck? that was...

    Engine shake idle/in gear

    well, switch on the fly means you can flip the switch when you want and not have to stop your truck, shut it down, and download a new program, then start back up and go. I (and this is just my opinion) dont think it means you can flip it to whatever you want regardless of speed, throttle...

    Engine shake idle/in gear

    as a rule of thumb, its never a good idea to switch the chip when you are moving and def not when you have your foot on the go pedal. it completely changes the way the motor runs and is probably best to let things "settle" once you change settings. just my 2 cents...

    A/C Orifice Mod?

    i know there is a heater core shut-off valve you can buy from dieselsite, but thats for the 7.3's. im not sure if the 6.0's are set up that way or not...they might already have the valve. What you can do (and I feel this helped a lot) is go to your hardware store (lowes, home depot etc)...

    MPG with TT seems low.

    last time oil, and oil and fuel filters have been changed? I dont know much about trailers, but someone else will chime in. 10.6 does seem a bit low. maybe a brake is seized up on the trailer? that would certainly create a lot of extra simulated load that would require more fuel.

    Whining Noise Generation

    Well, first of all, I see that your Check Engine Light is on. Do you know why it is? Have you had it scanned to see what the code is? As far as the noise goes, that sounds to me like your fan clutch engaging...which would be completely normal in your conditions. For one thing, you've got a...

    F6 DP tuner no start

    be sure that the wire going from the back of the chip to the controller is not pinched/torn etc. The tuner is set up so that if its unplugged from the controller, the truck will go into no start mode. Sounds to me like the connection between the chip and controller is bad, or the controller...

    How to cause a long start?

    i would still go and pull fuse 30 ad crank it, and see if it jumps or not. if it does, its mechanical. if it doesnt, then dave is right and its controlled by the pcm.

    How to cause a long start?

    might want to double check that one...i know at some point that switched over and was true, but i wanna say it was around 2002? So yours still might be mechanical.
