    Parts and pieces

    Thanks Stephen Its pretty bad that the head gaskets have become such a problem that it gets its own kit. How many other engines has a kit to replace head gaskets? Scott

    Parts and pieces

    Hi all, I am trying to get up a list of what parts and pieces are needed to do head gaskets. I know I need head gaskets as well as intake gaskets but what else is needed? I am also planning on removing the EGR cooler as well so let me know what gaskets or parts are needed for this. Thanks Scott

    Removal Of Cab

    Thanks for the input guys but I am going to install head studs while I have the heads off. From what I have gathered is that the head gaskets can be changed without removing the cab as long as you use the stock bolts. The studs is what requires the removal of the cab. Now I may be wrong and if...

    Question Puking

    Ok guys, I got a chance to do some testing today and what I found out wasn't a good sign. I did the trick of parking the truck on a slope and pulling the EGR and there was no water in the intake so I am assuming that my head gaskets are gone. I also drove it to dinner tonight and she is puking...

    Question Puking

    Thanks for the info but the TSB won't help me as I am at 140k miles. This one will be out of my pocket! I still haven't had time to check it out yet. I will let everybody know as soon as I get caught up and have time. On a side note, why do we take vacations? I always seem to work harder after...

    Help Needed Truck won't run

    It sounds as though you have blown a turbo coupler or you have a hole in one. Check all of the boots from the turbo all the way to the intake. Make sure there isn't any holes or one hasn't slipped off. If this is all good then remove the programmer and see what happens. Scott

    Question Puking

    Ok guys and gals, I have had it with this puking! I need to know how to diagnose the problem. Do I have a cracked EGR Cooler, cracked heads, or blown gaskets? Ok, here is what has happened. I drove from Knoxville, TN to Myrtle Beach, SC on the 5th towing around 7500lbs. I had very little puking...

    EGR Valve again

    Are you running a programmer that produces alot of black smoke. This will clog the EGR quickly! Scott

    Diagnoses

    Hi all, I got up early this morning just to see how the truck would do and to my surprise she started quicker, better, and quieter. There was no spitting and sputtering and had all the power that she was supposed to have. The trans also seems to shift smoother now that the learning process is...

    Diagnoses

    Hi all, here is an update on my issue. I finally got a chance to go to the dealer today and the tech immediately started with installing the new flash. He said that the other one DID NOT take, not sure how that happened. Anyway, he told me that he was updating the PCM, TCM, and FICM, not sure...

    Help Needed Biodiesel blew 3 injectors

    Mine has and still is doing the same thing. The only difference between mine and your is that I have never run bio of any kind. I still haven't figured out what my problem is yet so she goes back to the shop again Wednesday. If they come up with something I will let you know. Oh yeah, check out...
