    So I talked with Dennis Pantazis last night...

    Now, DPantazis and I have been friends for over ten years now, having met here when the board was in more of a hayday and the 7.3 was still a viable platform.. So he calls me last night to discuss an issue he's been having with his '00 not communicating, generating weird random codes, running...

    Question Black Smoke Under hard Acceleration

    well, there is "driven easy" and then there is "babied" same as there is "driven normally" and then there is "beat on" Last thing you want to do to a 6.0 is beat the piss out of it. Keeping up with traffic is one thing.. treating traffic like the 24Hrs of LeMans is something else.

    Question Fuel in Oil

    I checked Identifix real quick.. there do not appear to be any TSB's on this, but a symptom search "fuel leak" brings up a string or repairs concerning leaking injectors, and every one of them has you pulling the valve covers and inspecting the lines first.

    Help Needed Warn Hubs

    I wish I would have had time to come in out of the cold over the winter and read this.. I have two extra sets of Warns, one heavy duty, the other standard duty. Each one has one blown up hub in it in pieces.

    2002 F250 parking brake circuit diagram

    Yes. I coughed up the money to subscribe to Identifix (shop's diagnostic software absolutely BLOWS for European cars)

    ABS light, no speedo, trans light blinking

    The sensor in the pig is common, but what a lot of guys fail to check is the connector itself. The wires can fail in the insulation breaking contact. I've seen it more than once.

    F250 prerunner - is it a good idea?

    well.. uh.. If I had that kind of money to drop on a toy.. but can it haul a 17' three horse slant load with living quarters and a rear tack?

    What do you guys think? Good deal?

    missed it. Called the guy, "well, I think it's sold." Guy calls me back about 9:00 that night, sounds like he's been tipping a few back, "nah, the deal fell through." I called at 9:00 the next morning, "yeah, I sold it last night." Shyster.

    Question Rig Down transmission dead in the water

    I hate to say it, but there is a good chance the input shaft is broken. Known issue.

    99 f350 no start. No wts light or cel. Pls help!

    When a bunch of sensors or devices share a common ground, it's really not all that uncommon. I can name a couple of things off the top of my head. GM has a 141 page TSB out on their CAN network in the trucks, and I can recall the old 3.1 Chevy's that would short an injector and shut the whole...

    Question Today's Question for the Class

    Well, according to Identifix, P1211 (IPR) and P0603 (CPS) are the number 2 & number 3 searches for this year/make/model. P0122 (Accelerator Pedal Position) is another common code/issue. Given the programmer, and your report that it's worse with the tuner on Performance, I'd have to say it's the...

    Help Needed Questions???

    might want to use an algaecide if it's going to sit in a tank for six months.. Microbial growth is what causes gelling, not coagulation of the base stock.

    stripped spline?

    and no clue about your locker, other than Dana parts fit Dana's and Sterling parts fit Sterlings.

    stripped spline?

    I'm gonna take a stab and say it's got a vibration or skip in it when it's slightly lugged right under 2,000 rpm just under 70mph and doesn't seem so bad at higher rpms or road speed? If so, have it scanned for codes.. five bucks says it's got a #8 injector fault of some type. Don't sweat it...
