    Speedometer Calibration Question

    its a computer thing. The truck calculates speed based on a TONE RING thats inside the rear axle. There is some math involved, but yeah, its a computer thing.

    Tranny Fluid Prices

    5.99?!?!?! Our local Autozone had TWO QUARTS!, but 4.99, so a dollar cheaper. Although, we have a TON of autozones, I could almost drive to each one and collect the needed oil one store at a time. Almost be easier to pay the extra 24 bucks to save on having to drive around. operating...

    WIKI Update

    My guess is as long as its not a "dual purpose" oil that works on both Mercon *AND* mercon-V systems, then you should be OK. So long as it ONLY says Mercon/Dexron-III, then it meets ford specs. I stopped by autozone tonight and they had TWO quarts of Mobil-1. 4.99 a quart. Lets direct...

    Trans Cooler

    Ford factory practice is to install a filter BEFORE the cooler if the truck has less than 9 or 12 thousand miles. After that, Ford says the filter should go on AFTER the cooler. If you have a ton of miles, or suspect you've had a TC failure, I would go POST COOLER unless you replace both your...

    Tranny Fluid Prices

    Changing ATF in a '99-up SuperDuty 1. Things you need to get started: a. The transmission system holds almost 18 quarts of ATF, and you must waste a couple of quarts to be sure you get it all purged and replaced, so buy 20 quarts of MERCON ATF (do NOT buy MERCON V!). Ford also warns...

    Honestly, I dont know!! The injectors in the 6.0 are very different from the 7.3's. In fact, the entire injection system is different! Hence the NIGHTMARE Ford and International had getting the injectors and programming to work during the 2003 model year. In a nutshell, I want to say NO...

    TC Lock-up Mod Question

    doesnt matter which plug you take your feed from, so long as its the correct wire.

    Talk about the 7.3L CPS Here!

    I read about that on TDS. Got into an argument with a guy about this. He claims the DT engine uses a weird tapered face that reads the timing disk differently. Said they use the 444e "powerstroke" sensor in bad running 466's to advance the timing. Putting a DT sensor in a powerstroke would...

    Trans Cooler

    If you have a mid-2000 or newer truck, you have both an OIL TO WATER and a OIL TO AIR cooler. It goes tranny, to radiator, to cooler, back to tranny. (which you have found out already) If you wanted to be 100% sure, you'd need to change your radiator too, or cut it out of the circuit (which...

    ROUGH START AND IDLE

    well, the puff of white smoke is USUALLY indicative of either a bad glowplug, or a bad glow plug relay. You can test your GP relay by using a good set of jumper cables to go AROUND the GP relay. Basically hook one end to your battery (+) and the other end to the OUTPUT side of the relay then...

    Show me your switches!

    Shane goes on and off the road quite a bit. If he doesnt get back to you, then yes, he's prolly out of town. Those switches ARE available on the web via some of the electronics parts houses, but they tend to require bulk purchases.

    Wow, it's actually hot!

    Actually, you DID sweat, its just that the humidity is so LOW, that it evaps off your skin fast. A "dry heat" is dangerous because, since you dont realize how much your sweating, you may not drink enough fluids. You also can excert yourself easier because it doenst feel like your swimming in...

    Contura II's by Carlingtech. I bought mine from Shane Linse. here is his info: Now, they come with GREEN led lights, but I changed mine out to BLUE. You can see them on my webpage under the ON BOARD AIR pics.

    On Board Air system and AIRHORNS!

    your closet. Take an old metal coathanger. Make two large "U" shapes. Shove one in the two holes on the left, and one in the two holes on the right. You only need to go in maybe a 1/4" or less. Spread them towards the doors while gently tugging them out. The walmart tools have little cuts and...

    Mo guages

    I personally would use the fuel rail myself. Your right, its what the injectors would see. As for what type of gauge, I would use something that had a seperator. Keep everything under the hood, and then just run an electical wire into the cab to run the gauge. May be able to use an electric...

    Mo guages

    The fuel pressure port on the back of the fuel filter is a SPECIAL THREAD. I dont know it off the top of my head, but I believe Bob Riley on Dieselsite.com sells the right adapter.

    RPO - where are they

    Dually had a 3.73 limited slip, or 4.11 open option. You couldnt get a 4.11 limited slip tho. I believe all single wheels are 3.73 LS. In fact, the tag on the back of the diff cover should say "3 .73 LS" to indicate limited slip. The LS option on these trucks is pretty poor tho. Sometimes...

    RPO - where are they

    Ahhhh, No, Ford does not have a system like that that lists ALL the options. The MFG tag that I show a pic of above is the closest we have. It indicates the front and rear spring types, brake system, airbag system, interior and exterior color codes, GVW and tire pressure. The codes you are...

    RPO - where are they

    Im assuming you mean the Manufacturers sticker with all the VIN codes, and axle codes and whatnot? Its located on the drivers door B-pillar post. Here is mine (with some details blanked out that no one really needs to know) Now, I dont have a site off the top of my head to decode the...

    Digital Cameras?

    If your going to be making PRINTS, then go for the biggest MEGAPIXEL you can afford. There is a physical limit to how big a picture you can make out of a certain megapixel size. My sony F717 that I bought 2 years ago for 999 bucks is now only like 350 bucks. Its a sweet camera. 5 megapixel...

    Wicked Wheel = Boost?

    OK, heres the deal. The factory turbo uses a THRUST bearing. Garret says 25psi is the "redline" for our turbo. Ideally, its designed to operate around 15psi. Thats 10psi of fudge room. The turbo wheel is pretty innefficient over 15psi and really all your doing is making lots of HOT air...
