    Which Fuel Would You Buy?

    Hello to everybody. About a month ago I finally started buying B100 for the truck. Runs good, no problems, helping to ease oil dependence. My first fill was for 2.99 a gal, diesel was 2.89. Not a big difference. Now diesel is down to 2.49 a gal. and B100 is still 2.99. Filling up...

    $10 AIC Mod

    I can't quit help with the answer, but when I went looking for the parts, I had a hard time finding the switch too. I found one at a hardware store that was made for a lawn tractor. Look at a couple of these places for one, and see if it helps.

    Finally, B99.9 by me

    Finally went to a place that sells both B10 and B99.9, their words. Topped of with the B99 to make about B74, with the #2 in the tank. Only been 50+ miles and no real differences. But, if it help in our consumption of oil, I 'm going to keep it up. Same price as #2 also. Check them out...

    Rear Sway Bar Questions

    aftermarket turbo wheel question

    I think I can help with two out of three. The turbo wheel come to you balanced and can go on with out problems. Many here and there have done just that. I did too earlier this year and ran fine. BUT, I had a turbo failure, pretty sure unrelated to the wheel install. So before I put the...

    Actually, this was all there before I ever touched the turbo. Sorry I was not clear on that.

    Oil Leak at EBPV Actuator

    Thanks for the reply. I will look into the kit. I just edited my post to include a picture. To me, still the untrained, it looks as if it is "blowing" from the rod and onto the exhaust up-pipe. When the time comes though, it will be the kit and pedestal ring too. Don't want to take...

    Oil Leak at EBPV Actuator

    When I replaced the turbo on Monday I noticed allot of oil at the EBPV rod going into the pedestal. I think I remember reading that these do go bad and can leak down the back of the engine and the bell housing. Well that is exactly where I have oil under the truck. It is not in the valley...

    It's Alive, FINALLY

    After sitting for about two weeks, I finally put a new/low mile turbo in the truck. The day after I received it, I completely disassembled it to get the shaft and wheels out. They were balanced yesterday morning. Upon putting it back together, it would not spin. Took apart just to see a ring...

    Question about the AIH mod?

    No. I'm in PA and have had no problems with it out for over three years now. There is a set of parameters that need to be met before the heater is even turned on. I forget what they are now, but I don't thing my truck would ever meet them to activate the heater. Take it out.

    4 Whell Drive?????

    Hello and Welcome!! The switch on the dash does it all by vacuum, I think. I know that the hubs engage that way, case :dunno . The hubs can stay in auto, should engage by the vacuum. But since you say you don't have the light light up, my guess is a fuse. This is my opinion, someone...

    Turbo Questions

    After much calling, and searching, I am finding very few places that can do a turbo in my area. I even called the local International place and was told that the turbo a fuel system are proprietary to Fords. I did not know that. One placed asked what the turbo number was. I have no idea...

    Tire Pressure

    Getting ready for a long trip, and need to air up the tires. I have BFG AT in 285/75 16 load D. Truck weight with trailer is 4500 front, 4700 rear. 2250/2350 per tire. From a Goodyear publication, it says that I only need 40psi for the front, and 45psi for the rear. Does that seem low...

    Man, I'm in pain...

    I spent most of Sunday under the truck. Finally installed the Sonnax kit. Complete trans fluid change. Changed both Amsoil oil filters. Then, just for fun, dropped the tank just to do the harpoon mod. What a B!T$# that was to put back in place. Hour to get down, taking my time, careful...

    Low Sulfur Diesel Warning

    I just read that sticker up here in PA too. Had me confused for a bit till I re-worked it in my head. My interpretation: The fuel at that pump is not the ultra low diesel, therefore, may not be used in 07 and newer vehicles. It does not say anything about using in 06 and older...

    12v to trailer turns off when ignition off
