    Diesel Lubrication

    Well, I went and bought two gallons of SuperTech for the trip. I'll see how it goes. And if it does quiet the truck some, as I have read it has for others, all the better. Thanks for all the information.:thanks

    Diesel Lubrication

    Hello all. Getting ready for a two week tour of the New England states. Hopefully will use Bio when ever I can find it. As of now I use B10 and Diesel Kleen and it runs well. If I only can find regular diesel, anything else I can/should add with the Diesel Kleen to keep lubrication up? Thanks

    What to look for on a used TT?

    Specifics, I probable can't tell you. But having two kids bunks are great. I would prefer to have a tub/shower which makes it easy to wash the kids, but my second unit didn't come with that. Storage space for your stuff, and their stuff. Don't forget some toys. Nice big side opens up the...

    Heads up on removing your spare tire.

    When I bought my truck, it did not come with a spare. I got the dealer to find a salvaged one, with a good tire. But guess what? No key. I looked at the winch and saw that you can remove the key receiver and you are left with a large receptacle that the bar fit right into and do the job...

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    No, never had to crank it a long time. Starts up the same as it did before. About two cranks and we are up and running. :cold 3 For no reason except that my daughter is here with me and wants a silly icon here.

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    OK, well after reading this thread, I went and finally shimmed my truck. I get the kit from Pure Diesel Power. I put the gauge on first to see what my base was. 45lbs or 55lbs, can't remember number now, at idle and at 2000rpm, in driveway. I put the shim in and it went to 65lbs idle and...

    What scanner to use

    Time and time again, I keep telling myself to get a scanner. Well today I did and I don't think it is working on the truck. I started cheap and bought the Cen-Tech one from HarborFreight. I did buy the best they had in the store, but when I hooked it to the truck, it said no codes but I also...

    My guess is the connector to plug them into the truck. Somewhere there was a change in the style.

    Anyone make a turbo install kit?

    All of the clamps are reusable, unless broken. Pedestal o-rings are all that should need replaced, one each, unless you remove the pedestal also, then two each #205 7/16 ID x 11/16 OD x 1/8 W #211 13/16 ID x 1 1/16 OD x 1/8 W

    A Couple Situations. Looking for Advice

    Today while taking the camper to the campground I noted that the trans temp was 190 to 200. I do know that it usually runs 100* over ambient, which was 75-80, and it will run hotter towing, especially back roads. What I am wondering about is I can see the temp at say 190 but when I look at it...

    Amsoil kit use oem spin-on?

    As to when I change them, I have always changed the full flow twice a year, and the bypass once. That was before the media change by Amsoil, so I may extend them. I usually get an OA twice a year, when I changed the filters. I will probably still do the twice a year with OA, but keep the...

    Amsoil kit use oem spin-on?

    If you bought the dual remote bypass system, then yes, you need to buy the Amsoil Full flow filters. And actually, why would you not want too? They are made to last 25000 miles or 1 year, with their oil, and with the bypass filter, your oil is being constantly cleaned. I personally changed...

    DP Tuner and MPG

    Thanks for the replies. The answers were what I really expected, especially since once you add the fun factor, mpg will be mute. But, if you would like to lie for me, that would be appreciated :sly

    Breaking Into Your Own Truck

    If you are not a member of any car help club, AAA, Good Sams Road Side, then this is how they got into mine. Pry the top of the door open as far as you can, without breaking anything. Wedge something in the door to keep that space open. Now all you need to do is take a coat hanger and push...

    Fan, Fan Clutch Question

    Hello all. Question about fan noise. On Mother's Day I replaced the water pump on the truck. Small leak, but I plan to tour the New England States with fifth wheel in tow this year, so I figured the sooner the better. Coolant was new last year. Coolant filter installed at that time...
