Been a while... no start
Pulled the Valve cover drivers side.... extended crank... no oil coming from the injectors, not even the exhaust port. So seeking recommendations for an HPOP. The one I have now is a Bosch, with maybe 20K on it. but its a couple years old so no warranty. Not considering replacing with the...- Frankenstien

Unplugged the ICP to hopefully force the issue, still no start. This week I’ll pull the valve covers to...- Frankenstien

2001 7.3 very hard starting issue

Been a while... no start
Been a couple of years since I’ve been on line. So hello again. Piggy shut down on me the other day... had to get a tow home. Symptoms were, acted as if it ran out of fuel, large amount of oil in the valley. First thought is the IDM died... put in a fresh ICP (already had one in the box)...- Frankenstien

Transmission temperature
Not completely familiar with the 6.7's yet, so pardon me if it seems I'm high jacking the thread. Is there a dip stick on these trannies, or are you at the mercy of the dealership to check your fluid, shy of getting under your truck and using a special service tool to insert it in a drain hole...- Frankenstien

Noise in roof
I had this issue on a Bronco II, there was just enough flexing the sheet metal to cause a buckling sound. If this is what you are experiencing, there is a simple fix that I used.

I know this is a dated post...... However that being said, I installed the slotted/cross drilled Cryo Rotors from Power Stop. One of the best single upgrades I made... With my Boat and Truck I weigh in at around 24K GCW.... before I could tell I was over working the brakes for heavy stop...- Frankenstien

Albuquerque, New Mexico:
Lots of outdoor activities are available ... One of the nice things is ORV quads are not overly frowned upon as they are here in the NW. Only a few lakes around that are worth fishing, and boating in. Elephant Butte is the largest... about the size of lake Samamash... just very few trees...- Frankenstien

What is this? Came with my trucks keys....
The "spiked" ends fit into your hand crank for lowering the spare tire, the other side is the "Keyed" side, with out this you would have to cut your tire down to get at it..- Frankenstien
