    Question 30 PSI boost then "BOOM"

    My truck was over boosting causing a check engine light. A code PO299 came up and the tech said that it can be caused by a bad EGR valve. The over boosting caused my intercooler to begin failing. Rancho Ford in Temecula, CA replaced the EGR valve, intercooler and cleaned the turbo. This occurred...

    Pyrometer Gauge trouble

    FYI It is a defective gauge. ITP arranged for DiPricol to send me a replacement.

    Pyrometer Gauge trouble

    I recently finished intalling DiPricol Optix gauges in a pillar mount with pyrometer, boost and tranny temp. I have a problem with the pyrometer. When I turn the ignition on the pyrometer resets to 0 and then sweeps across to max temp and stays there. I've checked and rechecked for crossed...

    Camping Help

    I find backing a travel trailer is more intuitive for me. I backed boats into water on boat ramps many times. I mastered backing a fifth wheel, but it is the opposite of travel/boat trailer backing. 48' or 52' cargo trailers are easier than a shorter 5th wheel RV for me. Every individual is...

    Camping Help

    I pulled a 5th wheel for over 12 years with a 91 460 gas. I switched to travel trailers 4 yrs ago. We use our TT a lot and the space in the unused bed is a huge benefit. No 5th wheel to work around. My 2006 Powerstroke handles the 10,600lbs fine. We are taking it to Alaska via British Columbia...

    Bushpilot Getting closer to ETD for Alaska. I have followed your advise. I have installed the coolant filter and changed coolant (Xerex G05). I also reinstalled the factory air filter system and sold the Airaid CAI. Expensive mistake. I have not installed EGT guage or trans temp guage and will...

    I towed a 5th wheel for over 12 years with a 460 gas Ford and it only happen once. If you read closely you will see I am now pulling a travel trailer. Maybe that is why I switched. No really, I like to have full use of my truck bed. It was very limited with the 5th wheel. Thanks for the heads up...

    OK bushpilot, I ordered the MBRP exhaust and muffler delete/test pipe. Also the coolant by-pass filter. I guess a muffler shop would be the best place to get the test pipe installed? How about the coolant by-pass filter - did you install it yourself? If so how difficult is it? Since my truck is...

    Bushpilot - thank you very much for all the valuable information. I did not know. The least expensive improvement is a new connector bracket for the HPOP. I do I some how get it fail? As I move through your check list, I will have more questions. Thanks again
