    Independent in Denver

    Hi, Could anyone please recommend an independent mechanic in Denver? I'd like to get the front end rebuilt. Axle u-Joints, ball joints, seals (though, none are leaking at this time), and the like. I'd greatly appreciate any referrals.

    radiator flush?.?.?.?

    You really should consider flushing the cooling system. Lots of sand and crud from the casting process is floating around in there. Then, consider making yourself (or buying) a passive coolant filtration kit.

    BRP Diesel Exhaust tip, what diameter???

    ...Why? Aside from the bling, what's the point? You won't pick up any power. If you're just going for the bling factor, then... more power to you...no pun intended. I could think of better ways to spend that money if I wanted bling.

    PCM Recall

    I don't know how this recall will work if the truck is already tuned with a 3rd party tuner. I realize the tune will be overwritten, but I'm wondering if the new more sensitive "settings" will stay once a 3rd party tune is re-loaded.

    Results of the Spartant DFP tuner and delete kit.....

    Now, is this 800 miles according to the fuel economy display, or hand calculated? I see 24 MPG on the display, but only about 14.5 hand calculated.

    Damage to Truck with Spartan Tuner

    Your marker lights fell off. Slow down! :D As it's been said before, yes, you can damage any motor with any tuner. The Spartan tunes are all decent, in my experience. Of course, once you get past the 250? 275HP tunes, and over 55PSI of boost, you really ought to consider things like EGR...

    Transmission pressure

    Hi, I'm in the process of assembling a transmission oil external spin-on filter system. I've done the research and found most of the parts I need. I say "most", because I'm down to the last part and I'm stumped. The spin-on filter base I'm looking at comes with either a 25PSI or a 50PSI...

    Fuel mileage

    16.8-17.2 on the LieOmeter empty. 15.6'ish - 16.3'ish empty 13.4'ish hand calculated pulling this behemoth. But I am running 4.88's... Trailer's only ~13.5Klbs, but I think what kills my economy is the massive sail (aka front cap) on the trailer. Then again, I never really cared...

    Which tuner Spartan or Edge?

    I can't speak for EDGE, but I do like the Spartan... even though their customer service ranks down there with amoebas.

    Best way to improve fuel economy IMHO: 1. Spartan tuner with DPF delete tune(s) 2. Gear Vendors overdrive.

    Question Exterior Mirror

    Bring your mirror (the main glass part) in all the way to the electric stop. Look between the edge of the mirror housing the the mirror. You will see a silver tab. Take a screwdriver and insert it in there. It doesn't take much to release the tab by gently pushing on it.

    What is it

    With some of these aftermarket companies? I've been trying to reach Spartan Diesel for a week now! Both by phone and e-mail. I understand those two guys might be busy and that it's a small company, yadda yadda yadda, but damn! (I can say "damn", right? Not gonna offend the bible...

    coolant leakage

    Radiator leak? I hear it's quite a problem on those 6.4 Liters.
  15. Digital Oxygen

    Well... I took the plunge

    The running board does seem to sit a bit higher, but it doesn't bother me much. Looked under the truck in that area for visible damage, didn't see any. Truck runs great. I had the fuel filters and oil changed in Birmingham 'bama, now it's sitting in the service dept. at a FORD dealer in...

    Weird noise and coolant leak???

    You will have pressure on all the radiator hoses when the engine is at operating temperatures. At the same time, you will also have pressure under the expansion bottle cap during the same operating conditions (aka. the bottle is also pressurized).

    Went to the dealer for warranty work

    Sounds like they are BSing you. I've been running without a kitty cat on my 6L for over 100K miles with no problems (at least none of what you describe)

    Well... I took the plunge

    Platinum, I noticed the running board as well. Does look a little crooked. Better not be.

    Stuck Turbo

    I don't know about this whole extended idling screws up turbos idea... I've idled mine (albeit on high idle 1200RPM) for up to 4 days at a time. To be fair, most of the time I've idled it for 14 straight hours for weeks on end, and never had turbo problems. :shrug:

    Well... I took the plunge

    IIRC, it's in Cartersville...? Nope. 34.5' HitchHiker II LS 5th wheel and a couple of my cars on a 37' Gooseneck... no, not at the same time.

    Well... I took the plunge

    Thanks. We'll see how long before I have to take it in to a stealership to get it worked on. :D

    Question Any long term probs with unplugged EGR?

    I've had mine unplugged for a good 3 years now. Just make sure you unplug the connect with the engine OFF.

    Well... I took the plunge

    I sent a deposit to hold this truck till I go pick it up. I've got a ticket to fly out tomorrow, so I'll be picking it up on the 24th. 450 Lariat, loaded. No sunroof though. But for the price, I'm not overly depressed over the lack of a sunroof. I'm picking it up in Atlanta (well, a...
