    Help Needed 99 F250 auto transmission noise?

    Please make sure nothing is near the flex plate of TC when someone is bumping the key. It could start!! Make sure the key is out of the ignition before getting near the exposed flex plate and TC...

    Banks dealer in East Tennessee

    Dont get a 2000 stock program, they really suck... Get a more modern one that will keep the TC locked when the brakes are applied. I think mine is based on a 2003. Git it from TDP (Total Diesel Performance). TC will stay locked when slowing and the brakes are on.

    Help Needed 99 F250 auto transmission noise?

    I have heard a bunch of those nosey 99's. One guy said it was a special transmission he had.... Just like that stock twin turbo 2001 the other guy had. Both had no clue what they were talking about.

    2002 7.3 Powerstroke

    One filter, on top of the engine. Check the fuel lines for ones that might have been added. Would probably be near the fuel pump. Ask the ones that say they came with two where they are located. They may be talking about the fuel strainer in the tank, but it really isnt a filter that is...

    Boost Question

    A 2k stock will be max of 17lbs boost. As others have mentioned, they start making good power around 2000RPM so that is usually where I tow. I doubt I have ever had the engine above 2500 RPM. Even shifted out of OD it is still going about 60-65MPH when climbing. You may have a hard time getting...

    Question antifrezze

    With a 2003 you can use the same stuff that the OTR trucks use. It has a CAT rating and Delo, CAT, and others sell it. No more test strips, and that GOLD stuff didnt even meet spec straight from the bottle. Usually have to go to a truck stop or a distributer to get it, I have never seen it in...

    Rancho Shocks/ Sterring Stabilizer

    I really like my adjustable rancho 9000's. That truck must ride pretty bad if those are stock. My originals didnt last 30k

    Equalizer hitch

    Check the type of sway control bar you are using. The friction ones actually say to loosen them up in slick conditions because they can have too much resistance and lock. Adjusting the bars and head angle of the weight distribution hitches is very important and takes some time. Head angle needs...

    I'm Stumped

    Just use a clamp and clamp off one hose, easier than a valve just to test it..

    Question about "stock tune" on TS performance chips

    Yep, Stock tune is from the chip.. Mine is a 2k with that stupid TC unlock when touching the brake... With the chip in stock it acts like a 2003 and the TC stays locked now. My new sock also has more power than the PCM stock, newer truck came that way. It is very rare it sees stock.

    Ported Compressor Housing

    x2 for the ATS, it made all the difference in my truck. I pull heavy and fast (I know not the safest), but I am not the most patient person around.. I could only go 65mph before it would surge... You could do it with the right tooks, but it looks cast with the ports and just cleaned up. Mine...

    Seems like a Misfire, Need help

    Glow plugs doesnt make that much sense. If he is towing and it smokes wouldn't that indicate that it is already warmed up and not needing glow plugs? Smoke would be white also I would think.

    Got new Trailer

    That will be nice, V front for some better aerodynamics, and high enough to have a flat interior. The height makes the ramp more steep, but well worth it.

    High EGT's

    Most just add it to their tool boxes. You can also drill a hole in the top of the filter plastic and put it there.. I found a site once that a person put up with how they did it. I do normal street driving and plan to replace it around 15k.

    I'm Stumped

    Boiling and cool water is to vague. Get a thermometer and watch the t-stat open and close as you heat and cool the water to see if it opens and closes at the correct time. I might be way off, but did you install the correct t-stat? I recall that they are somehow special in length.

    Question Diablo tuner????

    Just pull the chip when you take it in, I dont see an issue unless they do random road side checks.

    Question Diablo tuner????

    Banks doesnt give enough power to set a code... It is a old man's chip that think 50-hp extra is gonna throw a rod... Way too much money for minimal power. Get used to that CEL light when making good power, it is telling you to hold on. Also telling you that you will need a WW or a turbo...

    High EGT's

    K&N is a very poor filter, just like any gauze/oil filter. Great for racing where filtering and engine life isnt as much of any issue as a street vehicle. Gauze/oil filters can be as bad as 96% efficient (per K&N site). Paper filters are around 99% and above. SO, gauze/oil can let 4X the dirt...

    Brakes!!

    OK.... the obvious question.. What are you doing to get them that hot? The brakes may be fine and you are having another problem, or there is a better solution.

    High EGT's

    Stock intake doesnt have enough flow for a chip. Get that swapped out and you will see a world of difference. Get the DYI NAPA 6637 filter, a 6-inch piece of 4-inch exhaust pipe and 2 long hose clamps. That will get you plenty of clean filtered air. Can get more than 80 with stock injectors...

    What about the intake? What does it have? Also, is the pyro probe before the turbo or after it?
