    synthetic oil

    According to some of the articles I have read, it is recommended to change the oil at 1000 miles and then again after the next 5000- 7500 miles. After that I have read that you can start using the syn oils. I have just recently started using Amsoil 15w40 syn oil and their EaO filter. It is rated...

    Tire ?

    315/70R16 is not the same size as 285/75R16. A 305/70R16 is the same as a 285/75R16. They are both 33" in diameter and the 305 is 12.5" wide rather than 11.5". The 315 is a 35" tall tire. They may fit after the front leveling kit is installed but i doubt they will before and if they do I bet...

    front leveling kit

    Do you need to use the drop track bar bracket if you do the spring hanger kit? I thought of doing the hanger kit but thought that maybe the add-a-leafs would be better. I know that new front leafs is the best way to go but dont really want to spend $500 to "level" the truck. I guess if I were to...

    Loss in fuel mileage?

    I live in Northern Ohio, and between the winter blend fuel and leaving the truck run occasionally i generally lose around 2 mpg. As far as I know theres nothing you can really do about the loss.

    Front end noise

    I just recently changed my auto hubs over to the warn manual hubs (part # 11690 I believe) Make sure you cap off the vaccum lines going to the auto hubs. I capped mine off right in the whell well by the brake lines. Honestly best mod I have done yet, even picked uo some fuel milage.

    Superchips

    I have been running the superchips programmer for well over a year now. On the 110 setting I noticed some smoke but not a "black cloud." After I shimmed the FPR I noticed a lot more smoke. I were to do it all over again I would opt for on of the switch on the fly chips. I would like to change to...

    FRONT 4X4 REPLACEMENT HUBS

    To be honest with ya I dont know for sure why they wont work on the dually. But if Im not mistaken doesnt a dually have a totally different offset on the front hub compared to a SRW truck. Not sure how the hubs mount to the hubs on a dually. Was just trying to make it easier to find what hubs...

    Automatic hubs not unlocking "Help"

    If I am not mistaken you wont be able to turn the drive shaft if both front tires are sitting on the ground because of the differential. Try jacking up one side and turn the tire and look at the u-joint in the front axle. If the hub is still engaged the axle will turn. I just replaced my auto...

    FRONT 4X4 REPLACEMENT HUBS

    Well I picked up the hubs from the parts store lastnight and couldn't wait to install them. The install was a lot easier then I ever expected. Took maybe 30 min tops. I was not able to plug the "red" supply line off, that goes to the hub actuator, at the time of completion. Needed to get the...

    FRONT 4X4 REPLACEMENT HUBS

    Thabks for the help tail gunner. The pic's were great. I dont really like how the aftermarket hubs dont sit flush with the wheel cover, but I dont like spending $600 for new hubs even more. How do you like that dynatrac conversion. I just had to replace the right wheel bearing and was shocked at...

    FRONT 4X4 REPLACEMENT HUBS

    Hey guys looking to replace the stock auto/ manual locking front hubs on my truck. Called the dealer today and about collapsed when they told me they were $280 a piece. I have tried looking for aftermarket ones, but am not having any luck. I know that by going with the aftermarket ones I wont be...

    Bully Dog Power Pup

    From what I was told none of the chips or programmers are undetectable, wether they have a stock setting or not. I set mine back to stock and they could still tell that It had been in there. Just trying to give ya a heads up. I know that some dealers dont care if you put a chip in it and then...

    Bully Dog Power Pup

    I was told the same thing about the superchips programmer about it not leaving any "finger prints" on the ECM. I believed this until I took the truck in to the dealership and got an unexpected call from the service manager asking if I had a chip in the truck. I was speechless to say the least. I...

    BFG Commercial TA Traction

    Dont know too much about the BFG's. I do know that Im in lkove with my Procomp A/T's. They are awesome in the snow and mud, and the ride is excellent on the road. I have about 25000 on mine and they are still like new. I have many friends who run them and they are just as pleased. Good luck with...

The two front side windows are permitted to be tinted to a max of 70%. This is all according to a close friend...

    FPR shim?

    I talked to Gillette Diesel before I ordered a FPR shim. From what they told me they recommened around 90 PSI and told me that no harm would be done to any part of the fuel system at that pressure. They actually sell a new spring which I have already installed. I did notice a little smoother...

    How much horsepower is needed to get an 02 250 in the 14's

    Hey guys, newbie here. I have been to the track many times and run consistant 15.90's with my programer on the 110 HP setting. I haven't run it since I shimmed the FPR to see if that made much if any difference. I would have to say that 14's are very possible with an aftermarket turbo and a good...
