    I want to quiet my beast down a bit

    I added the X-car under dash panels to mine. Helped a bunch, and are only around $60 total from the dealer. Problem is that they are only made for auto-trans. The X-car doesnt come with a stick. Also did the in-tank mods that helped too. Reminds me... I need to check the pre-pump...

    Power Steering sucks

    Take your foot off the brake and it is easy to turn, at idle there isnt enough for brake and turning when sitting still... Shouldnt be turning when sitting still anyways, too hard on the linkage. Rolling just slightly uses less brake and there is less turning resistance. Just the way...

    Diesel Smell

    You probably have the O-ring in up-side-down, might try to verify that. Might just be twisted too. Take the cap off and see... Might want to have a new one on hand before though. IS it the orignal cap with the ridges, or is it aftermarket with the ratchet center? Orignal is better. Air intake...

    Diesel Smell

    Make sure to get lots of water in the connections so that in a few thousand miles you can troubleshoot then when they corrode. I never use high pressure. Engine cleaner and a moderate spray. You also might try some water in the air intake for the vents (under the drill below the window). You...

    7.3L getting poor gas milage

    Ya gotta do the tank and pre-pump mods, they are the best. Then get some X-car under dash sound deadening panels. Truck will be much more quiet. Then add a valve for the heater core and the AC will be even cooler. Then tie the hoses away from the boost tubes that are wearing holes in the...

    Mowing Today...

    My garden is stunted by the lack of sun..... The few days it was sunny in June it grew like mad.... Most of the month it was raining. We had 13.5inches. All of the lakes are at or near flood stage. Ramps are all closed, so no boating for the 4th.

    Was up in Fairbanks several times when my father still worked at the University, summer was great fun over at Minnow Flats (early 1970's fishin there was amazing). Winter was real cold, shocks would freeze on the car, then when it warmed up all of the oil would drain out of them...

    Is 500ppm diesel still avaliable?

    They said they had the new stuff (15ppm) and everyone complained, and went back to the old stuff (500ppm). Was just wondering of they were yankin my chain. The truck does seem to smoke more and seems to make less noise, thought it might have just been in my head.
