    Help please

    thanks to all. The tube tail gunner was talking about actually had a hole in it. I brazed it for a quick fix. Im going to make another one out of 5/16" brake line because a new one is fifty bucks. I still have an issue though. I am going to clean the sensor. thanks, again

    Help please

    I have a 2000 7.3L with 335,000 miles on it. My intake heater is not working. I changed the solenoid, but this was not the problem. I PCM is not telling the solenoid to turn on the heat grid. I changed the charged air intake manifold air temperature sensor but this did not work. There is...

    Question dpf removal

    Im think there are 4 sensors. I will check today. the sensor on top, between the cat and the dpf is the pressure sensor. that is the sensor that kept melting when my truck was stock. kem told me I need all the sensors hooked up or the truck will go in to limp mode. weld or braze a piece of tube...

    Question dpf removal

    5" exhaust back At the end of the stock down pipe, there is a flange. I made my own flange to bolt to the down pipe flange and made my own 5" pipe to hook up to the mbrp 5" system.

    Question dpf removal

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    I installed an S&B air intake a while back. I just got done installing a superchips flashpaq with KEM Performance tuning in it. NO MORE REGEN! The programmer has two stages: 50 HP and 114 HP plus a trans tune. The trans tune is definitely an improvement over stock. Now i have an MBRP 5"...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I just purchased and installed a superchips flashpaq with tuning in it by KEM Performance. NO MORE REGEN! I got rid of the particulate filter, now there is a 5" MBRP cat back exhaust. Also, i installed an S&B intake. I havent really driven it unloaded, but i will post more info and pics later.

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    I just ordered an intake from S&B. Should be here by Friday. Instead of messing with the flange on the particulate filter, I think I am just going to scrap the whole thing. MBRP is done with a straight pipe, but they are waiting on PPE or EFI live to come up with a chip that deletes...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    Let me know what you did, I'll be experimenting with my truck too. One thing I noticed was that on the vacuum guage on the air filter housing, it was more than half way down, with a brand new air filter. It is starving for air. I am also talking to MBRP. the 5" exhaust will be available...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I have a good one for you guys. I called my dealer, and he hasn't heard of anyone getting that low of fuel economy. Ha ha. let the games begin. He told me to bring it in. I told him that the transmission shifts slow, like it slips inbetween gears a lot. I am going to try to get him to up...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I have over 5000 miles on my truck now. I just towed an 8000 lb camper. This truck pulls like a horse. This truck pulled the camper much easier than my chipped 300HP 7.3L. The only problem was that my best fuel economy was 8.5 on the highway with perfect weather and no headwinds. This is...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I just turned 3500 miles. I filled up my tank and reset the fuel economy. While on the highway, I saw up to 19.6 on a 40 mile run. Now I have around 230 miles on this tank of fuel, and it keeps bouncing back and fourth between 15.8 and 16.3. That is mostly rush hour driving. I'll get back...
