    I was not aware that cleaning it was an option.

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    Would replacing the EGR valve be a good thing to try? I have been thinking of doing that anyway. Sorry if I sound like a moron. I understand the basics of how engines work, but I dont have a clue how to fix something that has gone wrong.

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    I did just do a programmer, but I believe I have seen overflow from the resevoir before the programmer. I will probably buy one or two bottles of coolent tonight, and add it tomorrow morning before I head to work. Anyone have a suggestion on how i go about finding this leak? Its kind of a...

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    I may do that. Since its supposed to be pretty cold tomorrow it should not hurt it to much. Update: I added water to the resevoir for tomorrow. It took about 2 gallons of water just to fill the resovoir.

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    Now that I think back I can remember seeing overflow marks on the resevoir, but I guess it never clicked to check it. I guess I will get some from autozone tomorrow. This really throws a kink in my plans for tomorrow. My wife and I are leaving for a party straight from work tomorrow, and...

    New Toy

    Probably not your taste, but that would look really sharp with some tasteful 20 or 22 polished aluminum wheels. I always like the black with black bumpers.

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    You were right on bush. The mother f'er was bone dry. Not a single f'in drop in the resovoir. Since it got so low(empty), can I just add coolent or do I need to have it flushed? Also, is there a specific type of coolent you recommend

    I will go check. It should be good since they check that when I get my oil changed, and that was just done 2 weeks ago.

    NEED HELP: engine acting up

    On my way home from work tonight I had to make several stops which ment turning the truck off and on, some with a 1-2 minute period. After making the last stop I noticed that my truck seemed to be abnormally load, kinda like it was tough for it to get air. I figured it was just the cold air or...

    Dodge diesel oil pressure? (for a friend)

    We checked the oil and the oil was low, so she is taking it down the street to top it off. If the pressure is still low she is going to take it to the shop.

    Dodge diesel oil pressure? (for a friend)

    She drove it to the gym before talking to me, but it will be sitting for 1-1.5 hours before she is done there. I will go check it for her before she leaves. If it is not a simple top then they are going to have issues since that is there only vehicle. If oil levels are fine, what are the...

    MPG change with weather

    Does MPG in diesel change quite a bit when it gets cold? I was getting about 17, and since the weather got cold in houston I got around 15 on two different tanks. Is it the weather or should I be worried something is wrong.

    Dodge diesel oil pressure? (for a friend)

    My employee's wife called me today asking what she should do if the oil pressure is low on their truck(03 5.9L diesel). Her husband is offshore right now and does not want to mess up the truck while he is gone. I am thinking they need to top off the oil, but does anyone more knowledgible have...

    04 superduty front clip

    may be mistaken, but I believe it can be done but every front end body panel must be replaced(fenders, hood, lights, and bumper).

    Dodge 5.9 vs ford 6.0 in MPG

    Its not the speedo calibration. If he has 37's and he has not change the odometer yet then it would show less MPG than he was really getting. The only thing I can think of is that is odometer is not corrected, and he is over estimating his actual mileage. Either that or he is lieing to...

    New Pics Of My Truck

    Bush, You have to realize that alot of things people do to their truck are not for work purposes or even practical, but that is the fun part of customizing your vehicle. For example, I plan to get 20+" wheels on 35+" mud tires in the future. Now on a diesel truck, or any truck, it really makes...

    What is normal black smoke amounts

    Just got my programmer and ran the diagnostics and there were no codes. I guess I will mess with the EGR and see if that stops the smoke.

    just ordered my programmer

    I just talked to diesel innovations and they said it would be around $550 for 2 gauges installed on a-pillar pod, and almost $700 for 3 gauges. If im not mistaken it would cost $250-$500 on 3 gauges, which makes the install fee about $300. The guy said its about a 3 hour install. My...

    just ordered my programmer

    Is there a particular brand or model that is pretty good, maybe middle of the road. I do not feel I need the top of the line, but I dont like to get the bottom of the barrel either.
