    Smell fuel in A/C at idle

    You need two #202 Viton o-rings Simple change. Remove the drain valve via the four torx screws. Remove valve. Remove o-rings, install new o-rings. Re-install valve. Check for leaks. That's it in a nut shell. I just did this a few weeks ago just to do.

    gauges, ball joints, and tranny fluid

    Sorry, let me clarify. Some say that since the Universal ATF is Mercon and Mercon V rated, it should not be used in our trans, which only calls for Mercon, and specifically states NOT to use duel rated fluid. The Torque-Drive is rated Mercon but not Mercon V. I have also read that it is...

    gauges, ball joints, and tranny fluid

    If you mean this port, when I did gauges, i lost maybe a drop or two of fluid. The next year I did the fluid change. I know this has been hashed many times before, some say you can use the Amsoil ATF, some sa no to. I used Amsoils Torque-Drive, and have had no problems at all. With the...

    Front End Question

    I have been noticing a edger ride lately in the front. I had used the four wheel drive recently to pull bushes and it started after. I checked the shafts and did find that one did not unlock. Got it to but the ride is still the same. Question... When you spin the front drive shaft...

    Thermostat Neck Bolts

    Yea, that's what I did. Took one out and to the store. Got three but I can't remember the size either, and it was only 2 hours ago.

    Thermostat Neck Bolts

    Hello again. After changing the water pump, and hunting down leaks, I pretty much rounded the three bolt for the thermostat neck. I have the Dieselsite billet neck, if it matters. What bolts do I need to replace? I know I could take one to Homedepot, but I wanted to see if someone knows...

    cruise control

    I Had the same problem. If I kept pushing the buttons, for several miles, on-off-on-off, it would work at some point. I bought the switches from eBay for the steering wheel, installed and all has been well for me now.

    any reason to not buy these gauges?

    I bought that kit from DieselManor. I chose the clamp probe. I have had no problems with the gauges. I even had to send one one my originals back, call them on the phone for questions, and they were helpful each time. My main reason for these were the Isspros look like the factory gauges...

    Cross Drilled Rotors

    Have just done a lot of searching on brakes, several people seem to not like cross drilled. Several on the board, who I am sure will chime in, have the cryo powerslots and love them. I plan to do them at somepoint with Hawk pads. Look for BamaSixGun. He has them on his truck and does a...

    Who do you use for Oil Analysis???

    I use Blackstone. Each new report has the previous reports with it. It is detailed but they also give their impression. Now, nobody shot me for this, but if you mention you are from TDS, they give you a discount, 18 instead of 20.

    BioDiesel and O-Rings

    Thanks for the replies. As of now I have been running B10 for the past few months. Same cost as regular diesel, but it has bio, more lubrication, and an other benefits you want to say. Hopefully the dealer will step up to B20 soon.

    BioDiesel and O-Rings

    With the warn weather hopefully around the corner, I hope to start using B100 again. What o-ring should I replace to avoid fuel leaks? Anything else I should review? I do keep extra fuel filter with me for the cleaning effects of B100. Thanks

    Spare Tire Lowering Contraption

    I remember when I bought my truck, I did not have the spare or holder. When I saw that I needed a key, which was not included, I took a pair of pliers and pulled the "lock" off of the spare contraption. Was not too tough. It has been awhile, but I would see if you can remove the black...

    Brake Upgrades

    Just be aware, since you have an early 99, the rotors are different. I had to call to get the correct ones for my truck. But since you have a dually, not sure if there is a difference.
