    Step rail brackets......

    is there anyone that sells these separately from the step rails? I've been on the internet, checked with various supply stores, junkyards, etc. and came up with nothing. I busted off the step rail on the passenger side of my truck hitting a ditch I didn't see; step rail is fine but the...

    203* thermostat...???

    I have to agree with Joe. I've had the 203 in my Diesel for about 2.5 yrs. now; warms up the engine a lot quicker and seems to run smoother. I'm not mechanic but the guy that works on my truck said he definitely saw a difference with the 203. JMHO.

    Oil Question Again....

    I've been using Amsoil 15W-40 in my 7.3 for the past 2 yrs and so far I've been very happy with the results. I have Amsoil all the way around in my truck and I've put in the Amsoil Bypass System which really has extended my oil changes. I do a lot of OTR driving, no hauling/pulling so that...

    CFM+ Intake Manifold

    I did check it out further and you're right--seems to be more of a decoration than anything else for my truck.

    CFM+ Intake Manifold

    I'm thinking about putting one of these on my truck. I don't pull/haul anything but am always looking to improve mpg and engine performance. The truck has a GB turbo. Good idea or not?......open to advice. Thanks. :D

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Wire brushed all the infamous super duty rust on the inside bottom of the doors, put on POR-15 (2 coats) and after that dried put on the paint. Looks good and I'm hoping it holds. Now I gotta do the outside--got all the paint supplies and I'm gonna work on that this weekend. Hope to finish...

    Fuel Injector Computer Module........where

    I believe FICM is the "technical term" for IDM and yes indeed the 7.3s do have them. The box is located on the driver's side up under the wheel well. Got the bad one sitting down in the garage. Good to hear the hum of that diesel engine again........:clap:

    Fuel Injector Computer Module........where

    do I look for one? Seems that was the problem on my truck. Put a temporary one on (belongs to fellow that works on my truck), truck started right up so I have to get my own. Had somebody mention "rebuilt" but not so sure I want to go that route. Thanks in advance. :D:D:D

    Switched to Synthetic

    I switched to Amsoil synthetics when I first got my truck. I was told by several mechanics I'd be sorry because syn oil leaks badly. I'm here to tell you that I have not had any leaks whatsoever--amsoil in the crankcase, tranny and engine. Truck runs quieter and smoother for sure and it...

    Said goodbye to our first family pet today.

    Just saw this post Bama.....I'm so sorry to hear about Copper Jack. But know that you did the right thing and he's at peace now. It's never easy to let them go but you will always have the warm memories.

    Trying to find problem....not the CPS

    So the truck broke down this past Wed., it started to buck, picked up speed, then bucked a few more time and that was it.....engine stopped dead. Could not restart it at all. Knowing that the CPS can be a major problem I figured that's what it was. I had it replaced in Feb. of '08 but from...

    Question regarding the CPS maybe.....

    I'm told it was P0340. I looked it up on the paperwork I have that I printed out from here and it says "Inactive CMP signal detected during engine cranking when ICP pressure was sufficient for starting." Not sure what this means but is there a fix for it and if so what?? The thought was that...

    Question regarding the CPS maybe.....

    Well, CPS went in early last evening, truck started right up, took it for a test spin just to make sure and it ran like a charm. Went to start it up this morning and it would not start. Couple times it tried but to no avail. A friend came with a code reader and the only thing that showed...
