    Trans temp ok?

    The ambient temp was 100 and the road temp had to be 10-15 above that. I was cruising dry at about 80 mph and my trans temp was ~178, that seem ok? I have a big Tru-Cool cooler and a new tc and am curious if I should look into a secondary cooler possibly with a fan. On the same drive later in...

    Suspension differences between early and 99.5+ trucks?

    Dang typos...how the heck do you correct the title anywho... Back on topics...What are the differences between the early 99's and the 99.5+ trucks? I tried searching but my combination of words never got me anything, something about possibly pitman arms and track bars. I thought it was just...

    Amsoil kit use oem spin-on?

    No biggy, I partially was wondering if the full-flow oem filter had the same thread pitch as the Amsoil full-flow. I also was curious about my oil change interval now that I have the system, as well as what my filter change interval should be. Thanks, Jesse

    Amsoil kit use oem spin-on?

    How do you know when to change them? I can't seem to find my instructions...Is that what they recommend? Have you had your oil analyzed(sp) to see what your oil change interval should be? I use Rotella 15t, not the Amsoil stuff. Let me hijack my own thread here... I see in your sig you have...

    Is the price right on 99 DRW 350 Bob?

    Went by a dealer tonight and they want $16,900 for a 99 DRW CC 350 PSD stick with 178k on it.

    Two problems...tranny and hub

    I have checked the u-joints by putting the truck in park and shaking the driveshaft in and out, back and forth checking it for play and found none. If there is another way to check, let me know. My buddy is going through Wyotech for diesel mech and he said it could be misfires because of bad...

    Could the shudder possibly be a misfire problem that I am only able to feel with the tc locked up? Jesse

    Install new tc and vb....second gear probs?

    Well installed the Factorytech tc and accumulator and it seems to have a stumble in the top of second gear...(hard to count gears with lockup..) Under WOT in first boost will reach 27 psi then shift, second will reach 27 then drop down to 22ish and fumble around until it shifts into what I...

    Plug in water pump for coolant filter install...what size?

    What thread pitch and size fitting is needed to install the feed line to the coolant filter kit into the water pump? I am using a homemade setup and just need to get that fitting so I don't have to use a tee. Thanks, Jesse

    Two problems...tranny and hub

    You may just be listening more intently than before. Everything goes back on the way it came off...unless you had extra parts left over then you probably put it back together correctly. I've thought about rebuilding the rear but I'm not quite sure where to find the kit to rebuild it. As for...

    Two problems...tranny and hub

    Lift the truck, grab the left and right side of the wheel and shake it...if the rotor and wheel are shaking and the steering knuckle is moving...it's the bearing As for the tranny, it only seems to do it (or I only seem to feel it) on a steady throttle under a light load such as with the...

    Two problems...tranny and hub

    First and priority: Just installed new tc and vb and did full fluid flush to find out if my part-throttle shudder was gone....NOPE! The pan magnet had what I thought to be too much "fuzz" on it...what else could be wrong in the tranny? Second: It's been 4 months and 4k miles and my new...
