    SuperDuty RC Truck

    I've always wanted to get one of those trucks but the my helis take up all of my time. Especially when you land them on their sides. Ok, so the yellow one isn't really mine. I can do it on the computer simulator though!

    Ipod Interface - 6 disk factory indash CD

    I am looking at that too and I think I remember reading that the factory cd changer will not work with the PIE adapter. You might want to read all of the info about it and the install info. To install it, you remove the factory head unit's wire harness and plug it into the PIE adapter. Then...

    exhaust/muffler installation

    It's an easy enough install to do it yourself and save some green.:D Just don't lose the nut that goes to the down pipe band clamp. They are hard to find at the store...believe me.

    Future Emissions Standards..........

    When is it going to stop! Thanks AL "greenhouse gas" Gore. When are people going to get it through their thick skulls that human production of CO2 is insignificant when compared to natural sources? When are the ones who don't believe in this global warming hogwash going to stand up and say...

    Tire Question please help

    I've seen 285 on stock rims. The tires still might look a little small after the lift is on. My advice would be to leave the lift kit in the garage until you get some cash and fork it over for some rims so you can fit 35/12.50 under the truck. It will look alot better with some rubber that...

    Turbo Temp Shutdown Monitor Opinions

    If you ask me, its cheaper just to sit and wait for the EGT to go down. Its hard to wait the extra time but it will drop. Just cut the A/C off and wait a minute or two and save $100 bucks or whatever it costs. That's the advice I got from this forum a while back. In the future I'm going to...

    Toyota Tundra

    Ha ha, my friend just bought a Tundra. I can't wait to get back to work and rub that in his face. He always says something negative about my PSD because he knows I'll get spun up about it(that and global warming...and don't get me started on that crap Al Gore is trying to spread. Why do you...

    Extremely high IQ

    Well mine is only about ten weeks and she almost has "sit" under her belt. It takes once or twice to remind her but she gets it. I even got her to sit once with the leash off. Just keep a little bit of hunger in their belly and they start to pick things up quick.

    Oh yeah...

    Never did tell yall. Got a new puppy. Nelly vom Seilerhaus who is about 10 weeks old right now. She is a Verin Deutsch Drahthaar made for hunting which is great because that's what I needed a dog for. She likes to chew up stuff, pee and poo in the kennel and dig up other animals poo from the...

    Can't understand these young people..

    Well I guess I don't fit the mold...25, no wife and kids, and the truck has been in the grass one time. That's the most off road so far. As for less destructive hobbies...my RC helicopters take a beating sometimes and often leads to near complete destruction(usually due to operator error). But...

    No power on Launch / surges for no reason

    I've read before on this forum that mashing the go pedal quickly will not give you a quick jump out of the hole. If you take about a second or to to get the pedal to the floor it will respond better. Think it might be a PCM response. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what I...

    truck surging idle and occasional stalling?

    I guess the EGR can do all sorts of funny things but when my messed up a couple of weeks ago it didn't ever surge. I saw lower boost pressure and 100+ degrees lower on exhaust temperature. A little sluggish on accelerating but no surging. I wouldn't rule out the EGR but if it was stuck or...

    EGT temps

    I've got the 3.73 and run in the 160's too. Guess the higher the ratio the higher the tranny temp it would seem.

    This will make you sick.

    Heck, they could design the hood and fenders as one piece and have the hinges at the bumper. You could get to all kinds of cool stuff that way. It would be easier to put in an EGT pyrometer too:sly Or would that make TOO much sense?
  17. B

    Oh no!

    Yep, the EGR was trashed. I can't believe that it could cause all of that to act up like that. They said I should use cetane booster(I think that's what it was). Any thoughts on that? Any other additives besides biocide that I might look into. They said the cetane would help reduce the soot...

    Oh no!

    New info...REALLY low boost pressure and EGT. The turbo doesn't act the same it seems. I'm really starting to lean towards the turbo, especially because of how nasty it sounds when I shut it down. I'm about to put the cat in and take it in to see what the deal is. Hope they give me a loaner...
  19. B

    Oh no!

    Ok, I've got the check engine light on. 10k miles, 4" MBRP with cat delete. No other engine mods. I drive like an old man except for the once a tank throttle goose to clean the soot from the exhaust. I'm going to drain the fuel seperator and check and possibly change the fuel filter in the...

    It feels good...

    It feels good to pull in for a fill up of #2 for $2.63 a gallon while I watch the gassers fill up for $2.85 a gallon for regular. Hope it stays like this for a while(or all prices go down to $1/gal like it used to be). Who's got the leg up now?

    I got this chirp...

    The chirp sound is more than once per tire revolution but it seems like it is very irregular. I'll have to get under there when I get it on the lift to change the oil and see what I can find. I can't even tell if its coming from up front or in the rear. I don't think it could be anything with...

    I got this chirp...

    Hey guys I know its been a while but between work, fishing, and this puter shuttin off whenever it feels like, I don't get online much. So here is the deal, I have this high pitch chirping noise that is fairly constant when rolling. There were some problems with the '06 bearings or hubs or...

    2 Stroke oil as a diesel additive???

    I wan't to make my truck last as long as it can but I know that there will be a day... That being said, will the cost of adding so much of the 2 stroke oil offset the cost of getting the engine rebuilt? At the normal time for an engine overhaul, will you have already spent that much on the 2...

    Opening day!

    NO WAY!!! The Daniel Webster!!! That's what I'm working on right now! Its a moored training ship out here in South Carolina. It was decommisioned and gutted except for the engineroom. We teach baby nucs how to operate the magic teapot on it. That's pretty cool. I bet if he went down there...
