    Changing parking break shoes

    Why do you need to replace parking brake shoes ? I have never seen a pair wear out . Just adjust your parking brake cable ... Yes you do need to remove the hub/rotor assembly.

    6.0 fuel mileage help please

    You need more than what a programmer will do if your truck is a dog like you say it is. Yours isn't what a normal 6.0 will do if what your saying is true . You need to find a good 6.0 tech and get it fixed because what your doing so far isn't working...........:notworthy

    EGR System Questions

    Being from up North and it gets very cold that would make me think that would have something to do with it. I would just pull the wire plug off and be done with it. It may set the light but it will run better .

    6.0 fuel mileage help please

    Sorry to tell you but there is no way these trucks will get good mileage . They are made to tow and they will use alot of fuel doing so.

    Help Needed Biodiesel blew 3 injectors

    They (the dealer) used bio as an excuse so they could make you pay for it. You don't have much recourse since they only recommend B5 or less . Thats why they do that .

    Trailer brake wiring

    Yes they make a test unit that plugs into the 7way and can test each circuit. Most RV and trailer places use them. They cost to much for a one time use . Does everything else work right ? What about back-up lights ? Sometimes these get crossed with trailer brakes. I just replaced my 7way...

    Trailer brake wiring

    Check the 7 way plug and make sure the wires are in the right spot and you don't have a loose stran of wire touching another terminal. It's real easy to not see if you don't check close. :thumbs I've chase my tail for hours and it ended up being a single stran of wire touching the...
