    oil pan housing

    RSG- Did you fix this yet? To properly reaplce the pan, you have to pull the motor and flip it over to adhere the new oilpan to the engine. It taked time! Give a call to Peter B, they will take care of you. The Moroso unit gets installed by loosening the engine mounts, the cab mounts and...

    7.3 Sluggish

    make sure that everything ELSE is in proper working order before you mess with programmers. else includes no boost leaks from intercooler hoses, no oil wet and pooped couplers, working injectors, good fuel supply, etc.. MAP sensors rarely go bad too, and that will affect performance (does not...

    Brake Job on my 2011

    huh? umm, how do they do that? There are no squealer tabs on these pads. Jourdan- 1. See that gap in the middle of the new pad, its a wear indicator of sorts, so that you know you have got close to the limit on pad life. 2. Fronts wear faster on these trucks because they are nose HEAVY due...

    How can you tell if a truck has been chipped?

    umm, did you check to see if there is a chip on it? pull the ECU and it will be obvious. its not dealer only. someone like DP tuner could do it. you gotta sent it in. they have the programmers, at lease they used to.

    EBPV question

    1. get rid of K&N filter. do the AIS filter or the DIY canister one instead. 2. how are you pressurizing the system and determining no leaks. you ARE going to have air leaks when you pressurize the system. the thing is to identify where they are. you have the turbo which is always...

    EBPV question

    you might want to check your intake and all charge air piping to make sure that you don't have a leak. lacking power, hissing noise, slow acceleration. all sound like a pressure induced leak.

    No start, leaking oil

    1. oil vapors in pcv system -> boost leaks -> cakes on oily residue at piping clamps. 2. low oil can cause no start, but like REALLY low. remember oil is the life blood of the injection system. 3. all that piping- hard to describe online. red hose and green hose are vacuum control for the...

    Block heater questions

    1. synthetic oil. not the syn-blended stuff, real synthetic. 2. keep on your batteries. if you are really in the boon docks, consider a spare or two in the bed. use the orange (?color) off the 7 pin to keep them charged. jump from them if you have to. but for the size/weight, a generator is...

    Fuel Economy Drop

    get rid of that POS K&N filter! 1. check your brakes. all 4 of them. make sure a caliper is not dragging. 2. look for oil wet stain around all the charge air pipes and the interecooler. if there is wetness, you need to pull them apart, clean them and put them back together. making up a test...
