    one of my friends is gettin' cocky and wants to pull w/ me

    i would have to say that your psd would pull it, the 5.3 gasser is a decent engine but it only has like 290hp and 290 torque. also being a 1500 chevy it has the ****ty 4l60 auto trans that is garbage and the gm 10 bolt garbage rearend. if it were a duramax, it might be a different story. my...

    blinking headlight's

    just a thought, my 85 mustang did the same thing, headlights would blink, it turned out to be the multifunction switch on the steering column with the brights and turnsignals.

    how much oil do you consume?

    Just curious, i checked today after about 5k on this oil change, i'm going to change oil at 6k intervals. I was about 2 qts low. is this ok? i now have almost 109k on the engine, bought it with 104. my dipstick isn't the one with the numbers that match the one that read low.

    turn signal problem

    turn signal problem

    no trailer, third brake light works, all the bulbs are working, none are burned out. trailer wiring is covered so nothing should have beena ble to get in there to short it out. also whats weird is that when you put on the signal it blinks normally and then starts to blink really fast after one...

    turn signal problem

    ok, tonight i noticed when i turn on my signal either left or right, it blinks really fast. no burned out bulbs found. i put on the hazards and they blink like they normally did. is this a flasher taking a dump?

    changed fuel filter =exhaust smells cleaner

    sounds funny, but i've noticed when i change my fuel filter, the exhaust smells cleaner, not so oily smelling. i only had about 3k on this filter but i've been running the truck 10-14 hours a day plowing snow. nothing major, just thought it was interesting.

    starting problems

    thats a nice price, but unfortunately i dont think i could have waited for shipping. i ended getting a reman ford for 187 after the 185 core charge. works good now, starts up and cranks fast. both my batteries are rated at 875 cold crankin amps. so i should be ok for now. thanks.

    starting problems

    ok, so i took off the wires and cleaned them. they were a little corroded but not that bad. still seemed to crank slowly, but the weird thing is that the more i stop and start the truck the faster it seems to crank and start like it used to when i bought it. but if i let it sit for a few...

    starting problems

    ok, i will check the wires. i'm pretty sure this is the factory starter since everything on this truck has been factory parts. just a pain in the butt. hte battery cables and post are very clean also. just follow the wire from the starer solenoid?

    starting problems

    Well, its been getting harder to start over the past 2 weeks. every time i go to turn it over, it cranks longer and weaker. Figured it was the batteries since they were old and the cold weather we have been getting here was just finishing them off. it doesn't matter whether or not i plug in...

    Dimming Lights

    I owned a GM 6.5 diesel before this truck, the glows would cycle also but the wait to start light would flash with it. I've noticed this occuring on my truck also and have tried to give a little gas and hold the rpms around 1000 and you would notice the volt meter surging for approx 40-50...

    Signs and symptoms of a bad vac pump

    the cruise control is still affected when the brake light comes on, maybe this might have something to do with it. sometimes when the cruise is set, it will stop and then you see the lovely brake light on. if the light is on, cruise wont work at all.
