    Question Best place to mount a CB Radio and Antenna

    I agree with the dead center of the roof if you want the signal to radiate equally in all directions. 2 antenna mounted, one on each mirror (ideally a 1/4 wave length apart, 8'3" if I remember correctly) will radiate with a gain if you want to talk in front and backwards with much less power...

    285/75r16

    I love the looks of my 285s but I lost a full mile per gal when I changed. Lot more rubber on the road. Mileage was checked after adjusting for the 3% it throws the speedo off. My 285s don't rub but my truck is a 2001 also. Jim

    Howes failed me again

    Easy answer to this is that #1 cost more so they push the #2 to as close to the gel point as they can. Its all about money and if a few trucks gel, not their problem. Jim

    Mercon transmission fluid

    It supposedly has been reformulated so I will not hurt the breaking material in the 4R100 tranny. Jim

    Cackle Noise

    It caused by sucking air into the fuel and passing it into the fuel rails. It gets pushed through the injectors and causes noise. Most of the noise sounds like a coffee can with marbles being shaken at idle and 1500-1800 rpm. Hutch mod took mine away. There is a mixing valve in the tank that...

    what is this from cheapassdieselchip.com?

    Modified 10k mod Here is the diagram for what they are selling. It is a little different because it is not ajustable like theirs. Jim

    what is this from cheapassdieselchip.com?

    There is one model that has a transistor setup in it to shut the unit off when the engine is at idle. Like was already said, it is a glorified 10k mod. Jim

    Should I trust Superduty Diesel?

    I have been following this forum from its creation date and another big one a little longer than this one has been around. What I have seen through the years is that if someone gives bad advice that could harm your truck, others will be all over them in a nano second or so. I have more trust...

    What do you pay per KWH

    Here are the numbers for you. A kilowatt of electricity produces 3413 BTUs of heat. It will heat at 100% efficiency. A gal of #2 fuel oil will produce 140,000 BTUs of heat minus the inefficiency of the boiler. Say it is about 80%, then you will get about 112,000 BTUs of heat from each gal of...

    What do you pay per KWH

    Back when I had an electric water heater, I figured 50% of my bill was the water heater. At the .20 cents per KWH, it is going to be costing you about 90 cents an hour to run the water heater. Usually they run 4500 watts. I would be curious to know how long it takes for your oil fired system to...

    Kill A Watt

    They do have capacitors in them that will increase the power factor of the motor. It will save a small amount of electricity on an old fridge but will probably not save you much on a newer one. The newer ones already have done to them what this device does. They are interesting to watch and...

    Predictions: 12-15 bucks a gallon !

    Not to worry. If that happens and oil gets to $400, the world will be in a depression and no one will be purchasing. That will create a glut of oil and it will drop like a rock. Jim

    What is fuel costing you?

    Cause they can. I have a friend that has a son that just filed bankruptcy. Independent trucker for the past 25 years and the whole fuel thing has cost him everything. Lost his truck, trailers and may loose his house before its over. Jim

    Anti-gelling additive needed??

    You will not need to plug in your truck for 20 degree temps. Mine will start with no problem down to zero and maybe lower. I wouldn't be too concerned about low 20s. Jim

    Musty smelling A/C

    I hit mine each month with Perex spray disinfectant. I just let the outside air intake suck it in and it keeps my AC nice and fresh all summer. We really get the humidity in the summer here along Lake Michigan. Jim

    Blown Inter Cooler

    It was the intercooler. Boots were intact. They had to order a new one and thats why it took 3 days to fix. Jim

    Blown Inter Cooler

    My friends F350 is totally stock. He was towing at the time and that would cause an increase in pressure. His 2 mpg increase in mileage would indicate to me, something was wrong all along with the intake system. He has had great mileage running empty but towing was really bad. 7-9 mpg and this...
