    CCV Mod pics

    its pretty simple really, get a mann provent and mount it and run some hoses. you could roll your own for about 3/4 of that with a bunch of bits and a SS strainer but why bother when the mann will run you a little more. the banks setup is the mann provent. here is the parker- its a...

    Help Needed 7.3 Ddied and will not start

    DTC's

    ICP is injector control pressure sensor. its what reads the high pressure oil put out by the HPOP to actuate the injectors. if you unplug it and the truck idles normal, then you know the ICP is bad. IPR is injector pressure regulator. it controls the pressure of the HPOP oil. its screwed into...

    DTC's

    lets start over from the top..... 1. the ez code reader will read generic info but not the extended interface info specific to the auto manufacturers. its not just your truck it wont read. it would tell you basic things but not the extended range that our trucks use. 2. what is the status on...

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    the fusable links are in the underhood electrical distribution box. but i don't think there are any on that part of the circuit. i have never heard of the battery light on/off trouble shooting before for the alternator. since its not turning putting out voltage, how can the PCM tell if its...

    Job #

    shamelessly plagiarized. ymmv Job 1 Build dates 01-07 thru 06-07 First builds of the 08's. Lower valence in front on front bumper much shorter than later job builds. Radiators would leak, most should be replaced under warranty by now. Also there was a recal for a venturi T to be added...

    Question too much oil on dip stick

    Fine69 why are you so skeptical against 10K intervals? 3000 miles interval is bunk sold by the oil change industry. oil and engine technology have advanced so much, 10kis nothing. if you think that fuel hitting $5 a gallon is going to be bad, you will be changing your tune when lube oil hits...

    Fake injectors!!!!!

    i dunno about 'counterfeit' junk for sure. half-baked fir sure. better you get these that are obviously non-functioning than ones that LOOK and feel right but dont work for crap. at least the workmanship on those is so bad that it jumps out and grabs you. and i use the work workmanship liberally.

    what are your recomended ideas for repairs

    filter: save your duckets and go with the DIY filter setup! the money you 'save' will buy you a lifetime of fitlers. otherwise, go to the AIS conversion setup. injectors- you might want to do soem looking around. if you are sticking with stock, or doing mild stage 1, there are lots for deals...
