    New Fluid Ok?

    As long as the LV is the updated product for Mercon V you should be fine. I'm still working through the case of Mercon V I have in my garage so I haven't needed to look into the issue myself.

    coolant temp vs oil temp

    At the very least you need to purchase an Edge Insight, or some other gauge pack that runs off the OBD port under the dash. This is the only way you will be able to find out what the PCM is seeing for Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) and Engine Oil Temp (EOT). The dash gauges are worthless for...

    Skipping

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

The truck started right up, no leaks or post repair punch list...

    Pros and Cons 06 and 07 6.0 Diesel

    I think the confusion in this discussion stems from some not knowing that 7.3's used the green Ethylene Glycol Coolant and the 6.0's used the Gold Ethylene Glycol Coolant. The difference in these two coolants (besides color) is the additive package. The green coolant requires the use of an...

    Ball Joints

    I got 27,000 miles out of my left side upper and lower and 60,000 miles out of my right side upper and lower ball joints. The truck does not have a lift, bigger tires, or a snow plow on it.

    Question Exterior Temp sensor

    The outside temperature sensor is located behind the grille. Look in the upper left or upper right corners behind the grille shell and you should see a probe/sensor looking module that has a weatherpack style plug going to it with two wires. If you are sure the displayed temp is higher than...

    transfercase ?

    Dave, yeah it's quite possible it is tied in with another sensor since the 99 up trucks all have electronic speedometers and odometers. I am about 99% sure that sensor on the rear axle is only for ABS, but this wouldn't be the first or last time I'd be wrong. I'm sort of guessing right...
