    degas leaking, not again!

    I had head gaskets with studs done about a year and a half ago. Now the I am getting leaks at the degas cap again. Changed the cap with little change. It is a small leak most of the time. I can't seem to make it any worse by working it harder, but it does seem to get better and worse all by...

    Whats fuel prices around you?

    Its been $3.99 for a fair time in far west central Wisconsin. Seems a bit unfair when the same station has regular gas at 3.25

    old problem new again

    Had long start issues a while back. Went away whenanged the oil filter. The problem came back a month ago. Oil,Oil filer, and fuel change didn't help.

    long cranke time

    About a week ago my 05 f350 started to take 2-3 times more cranking time. Its not cold anymore. lows in the 50s. If it sits for 6 or more hours, it crankes quick for twice the normal time, than fires rite up. No check engin or anything. Just changed the fuel filters but that didn't help...

    Injector cleaning Hot Shot's Secret

    I definitly agree with the previous posts. Stand on it long and hard at least once a week.;tu Don't have much experiance with oil additives, but will say I have been real happy with Amsoil. Big differance in cold start, and smooth idle.

    4x4 not going in

    The saga continues After some lookin today, I dont't think the solinoide is applying vacume. 1)The incoming line has plenty of vacume and the line to the hubs holds vacume just fine. 2)When I pulled the plug, and tried it with the test light, I get power in the center pin all the time, but...

    4x4 not going in

    So with the truck running I ran it from defrost over to max air. I don't get any air from defrost when it is set on max air or air. What should I try next?

    Coolent Change

    Ok so I got 4 gallons of Premium Gold and distilled, but just a bit unsure of the steps. Please confirm I have this right. 1) Pull lower radiator hose and let the system drain. 2) Fill water only in the degas bottle only, don’t have to worry about filling radiator? 3) Run the truck around...

    4x4 not going in

    Last night I couldn't get the 4x4 to go in. The light would come on but not go in. If I lock it at the hubs it would work fine. What is the process for troubleshooting this?

    nearly stranded

    Update This morning the gauge was normal. I called the shop to get their take. They suggested getting a fuel pressure gauge and waiting for it to happen again. Thoughts/Suggestions?

    nearly stranded

    is it responsible for more than the gauge and low fuel light?

    nearly stranded

    About 1/8 tank, after adding 25 gal the gauge showed just over 1/4. On that note, if the gauge is actin goofy, maybe it was lower than I thought???

    nearly stranded

    not again! Aw crap. one month to the day!!! it happened again. This time I had just stoped to fill with fuel. After the fill I started and moved it to the front of the shop and shut it off. After being inside for maybe 5 min it started with a rough idle, and the fuel gauge had hardly moved? It...
