I had some stiction that got worse over time. Started out just in the morning when the engine wasnt fully warmed and only when the tranny went into OD. It progressively got worse and worse over time. I went switched from Royal Purple 10W40 to Rotella T5 10W30 (at the recommendation of Scott...
Little update here. I ended up buying a 2013 Ram 2500 SLT Mega Cab... never thought I would drive anything but a ford! The bottom line was the money, this truck was a lot cheaper than a comparable Ford! even though my father is probably rolling over in his grave, I am very happy with the rig...
Thanks for the advice guys, everyone reiterated what i already knew. I found a 2013 F350 Crew Cab Lariat long bed that in kodiak brown that i really like. I just havent had the chance with work to even talk to them about it. My 04 has been a great truck and I love the way it pulls and plows...
I have been tossing around the idea of trading in my truck along with the wifes 2010 Flex on a 2013 F350 crew cab long bed. My wife would take over the 2013 Nissan Altima that I bought a couple months ago.
I sold my trucking business and now work for the Coast Guard as civilian so I bought...
Mine wasn't as bad as you are describing but i was having that "wheel out of balance" feeling at highway speed (basically when the OD kicked in) I would make it kick out of OD and it was good again. At first it was only once in a while, then worse and worse until it was every day. I talked to...
Mine quite working last year and its the best thing that could have happened. When it worked and I was plowing snow, they would get ice and snow built up and it would make all kinds of crazy noise when I would back up. Drove me crazy. I would hit the button to override it but it would turn...
I have had mine with the delete pipe and no muffler for 6 or 7 years now and love it. I would recommend the SCT tuner with custom tunes from Innovative Diesel. The change is incredible. I also have an airaid intake for better air flow.
I picked up a new complete battery cable for the truck but work has kept me busy and I havent put it on yet. I normally clean and spray my battery cables every fall in anticipation of plow season, i think i just missed the area where the clamp bends down.
I will check my shop but if i need...
I have never had mine apart but how about some standard well nuts? lowes carries them, here is a link to a search at Lowes. Shop well nuts at Lowes.com: Search Results
I use them on the windshield of my Road Glide.
My truck was starting and running all day, I went to start it to unhook the trailer I was using today at my shop and nothing but a single click and the gauges doing some funny stuff.
Started looking around, put a battery charger on it (no help). Had a guy
trying to help but as usual was...
I use a guy in West Bridgewater (only because my shop is in Brockton and its convenient) If you are familiar with West Bridgewater the shop is called Jimmys Service, its on Route 28 behind the Dutchland Drive Thru, about a half mile before Montys Cycle Shop. He had alway been very fair to me.
sounds like the frame mounted fuel pump. Mine went out with no warning a couple years ago. I was still getting a little fuel to the top of the motor but obviously wasnt enough...
