    High Idle mod?

    The High Idle Switch simply allows you to raise your idle to 1200rpm at the flip of a switch. It is only functional in park/nuetral.

    Rotella T 5W-40 price?

    Your question sounded like you were asking what possible "justification" Walmart could have for raising the price by $7/gal. I may have misinterpreted your question. However, it looks like the price went up just about everywhere. That being the case, it looks like exactly what I was...

    4X not engaging

    Try what ATK posted earlier. Check your a/c vents. Switch it from floor to defrost to dash vents. If the air moves with the switch, the vacuum is working...

    Straight piped

    What kind of milage are you getting empty? I get about 14.5-15, and want to improve it, but I want to know where my mods will take me before I invest the $$$. I have not done exhaust/intake yet. Looking for the best solution. Thanks for all of your input! ~Ken

    Rotella T 5W-40 price?

    Not sure what your reference point is (what/when are you comparing prices to?), but the price of crude oil affects EVERY refined petroleum product, not just gas/diesel. "What possible justification would they have?" That's entirely impossible for us to answer, but I'm sure it is directly...

    f100cleveland, how did your experiment turn out? What did you end up doing? I have straight-piped after the CAT, thinking about losing it. I have an '04 6.0. Thx~ Ken

    What are you paying for fuel now?

    What are you paying for fuel now?

    JLD, the tax structure each state plays a HEAVY role in the price at the pump. From my OTR days I can tell you, all of the SW'ern states pay little->zero state tax at the pump. Those states get revenues in other ways, like state income tax... For instance, in TX we have no state income tax...

    OPEC reading

    "OPEC is set to announce a cut to its oil output at an emergency meeting here on Friday in a bid to support crude prices, which are plunging as recession fears hit demand for energy worldwide." As bad as we hate to admit it, it is their oil, and it is their right to cut production. This is...

    Humor Seen any funny bumper stickers?

    I saw a totally equipped off-road vehicle today that had some funny bumper stickers. What I saw- (On the back window): "You can follow me, but it's going to hurt~" (Side window-upside down): "If you can read this, please roll me over~" I got a good chuckle out of both! I regret not...

    Cat vs No Cat

    My exhaust has been stock since I bought the truck a year ago. Last weekend I pulled the sleeve off from between the cat and muffler, basically leaving me without a muffler. A couple of things I noticed... I have not yet noticed any difference in milage, which tells me the muffler didn't...

    This is why I bought my F-350

    My first thought at seeing those pictures: "yukondiesel cut down a few perfectly good trees so he would have something to haul in his PSD!" :innocent An after-thought: That was also a great excuse to use your chainsaw! We are, after-all, guys, right? :sly My wife would see right...

    New/used truck ,time for inspection

    Where in the world did you find an '04 with 16k/mi? WOW! I would hate to be the previous owner and do the math to figure out the $$$ per mile I paid! Heck, the seats aren't even broken in!?! Good for you! You get a practically new truck for a fraction of the price!

    Michigan Discriminates Against Retired Veterans

    EXCELLENT explanation from someone who knows. Thanks for the insight, GREAT post!!! ;tu Tailgunner, I would recommend working with the VFW, and getting them behind you. You will have much more clout with the backing of a recognized institution. :usa Good luck!

    Help Needed AC compressor help (Not a superduty)

    Keano, most of the time the clutch fails because the compressor is starting to go out. Since this is a 2001, chances are fairly good that it is up around 100k mi., if not closer to 150k. That being the case, I would bite the bullet, put a new compressor on it, evacuate, then recharge the...

    Michigan Discriminates Against Retired Veterans

    That was my point in my original post. This is a matter of perspective, and the feds and state are sensitive to that. My understanding is that this ACT was intended to help military personel assimilate back into civilian life. If so, I would suggest that it was ever intended to be a lifelong...

    Michigan Discriminates Against Retired Veterans

    Go rock some change! Exactly. I have the feeling that the VFW admin. office may have something on this. Might be worth using them as a resource. Go rock some change bro! You have our full support!

    Michigan Discriminates Against Retired Veterans

    I did some more research on this, cuz that's how I'm wired... :dizzy I found something that may give you a little peace-of-mind where Michigan (and Texas) is concerned. The following is the document outlining the FEDERAL guidelines for Veterans Hiring Preference. U.S. Office of Personnel...

    Michigan Discriminates Against Retired Veterans

    While I understand where you are coming from, I think this may have more to do with perspective than discrimination. The way I read the qualification points, they are not going to give job preference to someone who is coming out of retirement (who might change his mind and go right back into...

    comment College football gettin' good!

    I don't have a personal affiliation. However, Tech has been on the losing end of their share of games against A&M. I'll give them a crack at it! Tech and A&M played a great game today. It was fun to watch!
