    Speed Sensor

    Have you ever changed your rear end oil? I could see there being so much metal in there that it would bridge the sensor out again. It is one of the reasons I've changed my oil. A lot of metal builds up in the rear end oil and will cause problems like that. Jim

    203 t-stats (again)

    I saw no difference in mine either but could feel the difference in cab heat in the winter. Truck does run a little better with it. Jim

    Trailer Brakes weak, Why????

    Instead of shotgunning the problem, put a volt meter on the wiring right at each brake hub. Turn up the controller and manually activate then check the voltage. If it is close to 12 volts, probably no problem with the wiring. If no problem with wiring, disassemble the brake drums and you should...

    Oil for 6.0

    Wow, even going to tell you what brand of fuel to use. Time to get a new dealer. I've been told that some of the synthetic oils have solved some cold weather romp problems with the 6.0 but these people are pulling your chain. I wouldn't trust them to do the repairs even if they have someone...

    Oil for 6.0

    I would be interested to see if your dealer would put that in writing without using the words, "in our opinion" or something like that. All the major brands and most of the lesser brands meet the API standards and no one brand has anything over another that is significant to the engine. Jim

    What speed are you towing at?

    62-65 on the flat and low grade hills when on an e-way. When I'm forced to 50 because of two lane highway and hills, I'm out of overdrive. Jim

    Transmission Fluid Change

    Ya, you got the idea. :thumbs As often as this comes up, you still see tons of people that think Mercon V is some type of new up grade for Mercon ATF. Even some of the less informed dealers think that. Jim

    Transmission Fluid Change

    Never put Mercon V in the tranny. Ford says no, Mark K, a Ford tranny engineer says no, your owners manual says no and it is even printed on your dipstick. Dexron 111 or Mercon is the only acceptable ATF and it says not to use a duel rated ATF that includes Mercon V in its label. Your tranny...

    El Cheapo Volt Gauge

    It is a digital volt meter and is probably accurate to a 1/10 of a volt or better and will be as accurate as anything you would ever have need for. I think it would be a little unhandy to look at plugged into the lighter port but for what you want it for, probably will be just fine. Jim

    Anyone found a good use for Compact Flash cards?

    As I up grade my SD flash memory, I give them away as additional memory when I sell off my old Palms. I now have 3 Palms, a M130 that I use only for my EASE diagnostics, a Treo 600 and a T5. The T5 has a high speed 1 gig in it and I can play a ton of diesel drag movies because of it. There is...

    4X4 question

    I was told that the people that plow snow put pressure on Ford to have a lock feature because they were continually dropping out of 4x4 because of the auto only hubs. This was an appeasement to those guys and it helped them out. I for one have not had a problem in almost 5 years with mine. I do...

    Changed over to Rotella 5-40 synthetic.

    They are also carrying Mobil SUV/truck synthetic which is the same as Delvac 1. IMOHO it is top line synthetic oil and one step higher grade than Rotella 5w40. Rotella is a hydro-cracked oil. It is better than regular dino oil but really doesn't spec out as well as Mobil, Red line, Amsoil or...

    Jackson Guilty or Innocent?

    I think you are right because I think the lawyers did a good job producing reasonable doubt. Sad but thats the way it is. Jim
