    Just bought a Magnaflow 4" system

    I had no problem with mine whatsoever. Fit very well. The only cheesy thing about mine is that the 4" pipe extended out to the edge of the 5" tip, so basically you see two concentric circles at the tip. It bothered me enough to the point where I took my Roto-zip and a 3" wheel, stuck it in as...

    Coolant flush procedure

    I wonder if the chemical flush put the stop-leak in suspension and that's what I'm seeing in my flush water.:dunno

    Coolant flush procedure

    Yeah, ran it thru the heater core as well. Hey Bush...maybe that Gold wasn't as good as I thought it was.;) Makes me want to remove the oil cooler and inspect its condition. Maybe tomorrow.

    Coolant flush procedure

    Back to the original post... I drained the radiator and opened the driver's side block plug. Probably drained somewhere around 5 gallons of the original coolant. Added Prestone coolant system flush (a little on the heavy side) and ran the truck for a good 3+ hours. I've now flushed the...

    Coolant flush procedure

    Ouch...somebody take the knife outta' my back.;) I hear that Evans stuff is pricey. I get my ELC from the local International dealer and he only charges me $11.79/gal. That's less than the Ford dealer's Gold. Go figure.

    Coolant flush procedure

    HD extended life coolants are made specifically for diesel engines. They are silicate free and have better heat transfer. They require no maintenance and have an operating life significantly longer than the Gold. The Gold contains silicates which become insoluble abrasives over time. That's...

    Coolant flush procedure

    55K on the clock. The Ford coolant is a hybrid and not the best coolant available for a diesel so I want to change it out now. I'll be installing the filter at the same time.

    Coolant flush procedure

    I'm getting ready to change my coolant over to International's Fleetrite ELC. What's the proper procedure for a thorough coolant flush?

    boost p.s.i...???

    When I'm pulling a steep grade with the TT, the tranny will downshift and peg my gauge at 30psi. This happened last weekend and I smelled coolant. :eek: In the future, I'll try to do better anticipating the downshift and ease of the throttle before I run that high.

    I just learned about this upgrade. It appears to be a good alternative to the MagHytec and PML differential covers. I know, it's not an exact duplicate, but you can't go wrong for the price. Dealers have them for less but this vendor provides the hardware as well; all for $50. I'll be...

    Steering box

    I don't want to beat a dead horse, but... The State is in the middle of a major re-paving project on one of our close interstates. There are several warning signs for uneven pavement. You know the kind; where the road crew finished a new lane last night and now there is a few inch drop from...

    Steering box

    Tried that, too. No difference. In fact, it almost feels as though the gears are locked up because any adjustment makes no difference in the little play I currently have in the wheel.

    Steering box

    It's a long, long, long story. Alignment was checked by a very good shop. Many upgrades to the truck and still a wander going down the highway. Took it back to the alignment shop and verified that everything was good. Owner of the shop, who has an Ex, took it for a drive and confirmed what...

    Getting ready to change out my gearbox with one from Redhead. Any advice for a first timer? Do's/Don'ts. Special tools to make the job go easier, etc, etc? Any help would be appreciated.
