    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.

    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...
