    Question gas meter no working..

    Clip the tank vents and you can get the tank full to the top with no problems... I have put 30-gals in during a fill :) The 3/4 full mark is when it is really at 1/2-tank now that I can put more in easily. Could top it off before, but took a long time to get past the foam. While there do...

    Scared to death....

    My wife used to drive the truck everyday when we had 2 kids, the truck and a Honda CRX 2 seater. She now drives it when I need the car, but doesnt like putting it in the garage as it is a real tight fit.

    Towing Help

    May help some, but adds more weight and you will never recover the cost of the top with what you save in fuel.

    Tranny Question

    Do not flush it, but DO change the fluid. Use the method noted above, do not let them use a machine to do a "power flush"... You might just want to do a partial change and see what happens. Drop the pan and change the filter, then just refill. It will have some of the old in still, but in...

    Rehashing air intake systems

    That has already been done. Engine bay when at speed gets lots of air flow. So there is some more heat but not what you would expect. Also, all that air has to go through a turbo and intercooler. So that 40-deg gain in intake heat is only 3-4 degree more when it reaches the engine. Open...

    Unclear? Which tuner for max MPG?

    I run Tony's stuff and really like it... :sweet I think the big intake and big exhaust helps the most. With just the chip you will see more power and a lot more EGT. Adding the intake and 4-inch exhaust will really make a difference. If you tow you will want to look at the ATS housing...

    Banks wheel

    I'll take the ATS 4-inch intake over the stock 3-inch. ATS is also much more quiet than the new wheel. Most replacement wheels are noisy, but some like that.

    AFE s2 air cleaner cleanliness

    Forget the WW and do the real fix, ATS turbo housing. WW is a bandaid that will not fix the real issue. With a good intake, exhaust, and chip the WW will work as long as you do not hook up a good load. I went to a ATS housing so I know the issue is gone. If all you hear is a hiss, that is...

    I always knew Chevy engines were good for something..

    Wonder how much that lid weighs, just that one head has to weigh 40-pounds.

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    Article says you will have brakes and PS while going over 30mph.... It is the 30-zero that would be the hard part... Better get it pointed right and hope it will slow down fast!! Flying a plane is easy... Just the landing that can be rough..

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    I have a replacement one in it (old style), and a spare in the glove box. I plan on getting them to replace the one in the engine... BUT they probably want to keep it for 2 days... If that is the case I wont bother..

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    "The issue involves a camshaft position sensor that can degrade over time. The sensor detects the position of the engine's camshaft which controls the opening and closing valves that let air and fuel in and out of the engine's cylinders." Ford recalling diesel trucks for engine stalling -...

    4x4 won't engage in cold

    If the light comes on and you get 4x4 then vacuum is not the issue, neither is maint of the hubs.

    4x4 won't engage in cold

    Even if there is no vacuum, I believe that the dash light will change. So... Is the dash light changing and the hubs not engaging, or does the dash light do nothing? These are very different.

    Order of install - chip, intake, exhaust

    All stock now except for some minor stuff like gauges, poon, in-tank, and pre-pump. Nothing that would change intake or exhaust. Thanks for the input everyone!! It was what I was thinking, but other input s nice to verify. Auto trans is hard to lug normally, but with a chip it may hold...

    Order of install - chip, intake, exhaust

    Never had issues with high EGT... Might with the chip though... Would I have issues with too high EGT with just the chip in tow mode? I may not have the $$ for everything before the trip.

    Order of install - chip, intake, exhaust

    Have a 2k, F350, 4x4, auto, diesel, gauges. Going on a 1500 mile trip towing 10k TT and would like to have a tow chip, actually a Wildman 4 position chip but this deals just with the towing. I would like to just install the chip before the trip and do the intake and exhaust later. Think...

    13lbs of boost, then zero

    Wooooo Hooooo Spent a few hours at Tony Wildman's place today. He hooked up the diagnostic PC to do a few tests, but the PCM kept on faulting.... not a good sign... Took it for a ride to show the symptom. Was able to reproduce... Went back to Tony's and he installed a full blown...

    Know of anyone in the DFW (texas) area that has one?

    13lbs of boost, then zero

    Is the signal hose the one that goes to the MAP sensor? Probably the hose that I have my boost gauge in that goes from the "Y"and runs left to a little module? I will test that and then get the codes read... Do I need to buy a tool for this or are there places that I can get it read??

    13lbs of boost, then zero

    I checked the boots and didnt see any movement. Could the boots blow off and then be able to seat well enough to take 12-lbs of boost over and over? I though that once they blew off they would just be off.. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

    13lbs of boost, then zero

    Short story - when boost hits 13lbs I hear a woosh noise and boost drops to zero. Letting off the peddle some (or all the way) and the boost returns. I can repeat it at will. Does the same on cruse control. Long story- -Stock except for in-tank and pre-pump mods, gauges too - happens...
