    INSTALLING 08 MIRRORS

    My wife bought me the '08 mirrors last weekend for my birthday. I wanted them for the look, but the view is SO much better than the older tow mirrors. I bought mine form Dfuser while in Georgetown Texas for the weekend. He provided plugs and the wiring colors for replacing the plugs and wiring...

    Cackle Cure Kit???

    From my understanding it uses a very small bleed orifice to allow some fuel to move through without dropping pressure. I think it is a viable alternative for those relatively stock trucks that do not want/need the adjustment of the Regulated Return set up.

    orange peel in factory paint

    A friend of mine that was in the paint & body area a while back tells me that there is usually not enough clear to be able to wet sand an buff a factory paint job. That was a few years back, so who knows now. I'd sure hate to sand or buff through though. :eek:

    why is there a diff between being cold and warm?

    Nope, no vaccum set up on the 99+.Still an oil actuated piston that closes the EBPV on the turbine outlet.

    Unibody Explorer?

    I guess that is progress. We sure love our 2000 Explorer with the 5.0 V8. It has been a GREAT vehicle with no real problems in 95,000 miles. The wife loves it and say she does not want a "new" vehicle yet.

    Changing mirrors out ?

    I do no know if they actually extend any further that the previous version of tow mirrors. You can get them plain without the lights though.

    Changing mirrors out ?

    You'll just have to run you own wires for the running lights and turn signals to each mirror. I plan to upgrade to the '08 mirrors w/ lights. You can also get the new '08 mirror w/o lights or with better yet with lights and power fold/extend.

    Meth Injection?????

    Why not? Maybe not 100% Meth, but meth/water injection if used conservatively appears to be safe.

    Bridgestone Dueller Revo

    I've had excellent results with my 265's E's. I origianlly got some 2 D's that I did not catch until 24,000 miles and they wore BAD. But the E's have been great. Good traction, handling and wear. I keep my rear around 70-75 also and don't wear the centers, but mine are narrower than 285's...

    Batteries, Revisited

    I wonder if Sears no longer carrying the Optima batteries has more to do with them now having an AGM Diehard (store brand) than anything else. Sounds more likely to me. I always heard good about the Optimas. My Interstates have leaked from day one and seem to be getting weak on our colder...

    Aftermarket fuel filter install: who's done it and other questions.

    I'm also running a 2 micron Dahl 100 pre-pump. I monitor the pressure at the factory filter and change around 10,000 mile or if the pressure drops. No problems. Been doing it for 2 years now.

    AIH solenoid

    The AIH does not function during cold or any other starting. It is there for extended idling in cold weather under very specific parameters.

    Oil Spinner?

    You only need air if you are unable to mount it with a direct path to the oil sump if I understand correctly.

    Oil Spinner?

    These have been around awhile from my understanding, so I feel that this issue has been looked into. I don't this that is going to be able to do that much separation anyway.

    Rotella 15w40 or MC 15w40?

    I fail to believe that INTERNATIONAL designed their engine to run on Motorcraft oil. It is a fine oil, as are all that meet the API specs, but it is no better that Rotella.:2c
