    Pyrometer gauge problem

    aklim- you can put a T in the line from the baby's butt to the MAP sensor on the passenger side of the engine. or if you have it off, drill and tap the aluminum housing. dp

    Article Elephants Helping With Joplin Cleanup

    umm, what do Democrats have to do with this? and the bleeding hearts probably never thought of how we used to get our food by the teams of horses or oxen or mules. of never think twice about the source of their leather for handbags or shoes... or of the cheeseburger or bacon that they enjoy...

    Leaking at thermostat housing

    the sheet metal thermostat housing is tough to get resealed. a small $3 tube of permatex waterpump sealant seems to fix the problem pretty well.

    ac compressor shim

    the turbo is not connected to the blower. ie, head bone, foot bone, leg bone, arm bone. i would bet its your AC.

    First start romping (warm out)

    what oil are you running? my romps went away switching to syn or semi syn oil. romps were worst with dino oil, both rotella and motorcraft. first start, about 30 seconds then went away. shook the whole truck. went to rotella blue bottle year round.

    Factory Nav & Sirius problems with a camper

    i think that you should give ford a call on this. as its a NEW truck and you are doing something with it that was intended to do, its a BAD design on their part. for the $80 for the combiner, why not just abandon the combiner and get a 'new' sirius antenna and plug it into the radio and be...

    DP tuner questions

    hardware is the same, almost identical in fact. programming is what i would want to confirm. you might want to confirm with TS if they will reburn it for you if you buy it if you want to change things up. the way to save money is reduce the number of programs and add them later of you...

    Hissing noise when torque converter locks up

    it might be easier to install the t/c lockup mod, a toggle switch to force the t/c to lockup when you flip the switch. http://www.superdutydiesel.com/forums/7-3l-powerstroke-power-performance/12148-4r100-tc-lockup-mod-opinions.html http://www.guzzle7pt3.com/tclock.php

    Nissan Titan/Cummins Engine

    look at that market segment though. you have 3 choices- ford, gm/chevy and dodge. the only thing going for the dodge is the cummins. the truck wrapped around the motor itself is blah. the only thing going for gm/chevy is the trans. the truck wrapped around it is so-so. nuff said...

    Nissan Titan/Cummins Engine

    its about time! "if you build it, they will come" first one out the gate with a 1/2 ton or a compact truck with an oilburner is going to gain HUGE marker share. funny how the pictures smack of familiarity: cab off frame to access engine, the end of the motor is BURIED under the cowl. they...

    Tranny skip

    talk to your chip maker and find out what the programming is doing. T/C lockup would be my first guess

    Question Codes

    LMB- is there a bed mounted trailer wiring socket? seems i remember something about some year having issues in the socket, or a bad wire in there that would cause issues.

    Transmission fluid leaking out bad

    jdw- is this the first time your tranny has been down? from your sig, i am guessing that your truck has 212,000 miles. you are simply wishing if there is nothing more than bushings and seals needed.

    Transmission fluid leaking out bad

    there was a thread for a built 4r100 in the parts section. you might want to look at that. otherwise, spend the money and get it done right. go somewhere else for a more realistic quote.

    rant Oh yes! OH NO!!!

    friss- that sucks! the running joke we have is how fords break windshields on their own. sometimes you just look at them funny and they crack. a friend bought a new transit connect, the euro style kombi wagon deal, and ON THE WAY HOME the windshield broke. she turned around and drove it right...
