    bouncing down new smooth roads....

    Update for anyone who cares.... I had the fix done. Cost was 200 for parts and 80 for labor. (i'm at 50K no warranty) They drill holes in the side of the hitch and mount some pretty big chunks of steel & rubber on the sides. The best I could descibe it would be a counterweight, The truck gets...

    Hotter themostat

    I have not facts to back this up. But here goes anyway. My 03 seemed to run hotter than my 06. Like so hot you could almost cook on the defrost vents. Maybe try looking up the earlier 6.0 years and see if the hotter one is available there. My 06 runs much cooler & I assume FMC had good reason...

    Plumber In Da House?? Got Questions

    running the line is 1-2 times a year is still a hell of a lot cheaper than the $1000's a new line would cost you. Last weekend my friend was too cheap to just pay a drain cleaner guy and rented one from HD. Spent a good chunk of Saturday trying to remove his blockage which he never did get...

    power inverter problems

    Pull the inverter out and hook it up direct to battery terminals on another vehicle (w/ jumper cables). If the same thing happens you have a inverter problem. If it's fine you have a inverter wiring or truck problem.

    oil sample question...

    Wow, hell of an explaination! I use blackstone and don't use additives. The reason for testing was to see if I could extend intervals. I guess if it stays under 5% I won't worry about it. Thanks for your input

    External hard drives... w/ mirroring capability

    The actual storage would be 1TB when mirrored. I want the mirroring capability so if 1 drive crashes there's a back-up. Another feature of this is free remote access from anywhere. It acts as a server with your high speed internet connection. My Book World Edition II 2 TB Hard Drives (...

    Front Suspension "Thumping Noise" when offroad

    To check your ball joints - jack up the front end & see if there is any play in the joint. Try pushing and pulling on the top and bottom of the tire. If you notice any play your ball joints are worn. If you don't find anything there here's a link to your sway arm kit from energy: Energy...

    Front Suspension "Thumping Noise" when offroad

    How many miles on your 03?? My 03 started making front end noises at 40K. I waited until 67K to do the ball joints. I just couldn't take the noise any more. I've heard of some going at 30 and others still trouble free at 150K. I also did sway arm & drop link bushings at the same time as ball...

    Michael Vick's in deep doo-doo...

    Maybe he and OJ can be cell mates. Or even better, lets throw Michael Jackson in the mix. He could be the woman. Actually, white woman! just like OJ likes. :stir

    My Dealer window sticker

    It's only 5 years old. He doesn't have issues yet. After he goes through 2 more new vehicles and posts the same thing in 15-20 years --- THEN HE HAS ISSUES!!! :roflmao

    Read the fine print ... Inverter install

    Thanks for the info. I just looked it up & mine are not included. Kinda blows, 6 new batteries would have been nice. :sly Here's what I ended up doing. I had to cut the rear under seat platform in 2 so there is only a platform under the double seat. The single seat on the passenger side is...

    oil sample question...

    Is it possible for fuel levels in oil to lower over a couple thousand miles. I had a 12.5K sample that came back with 4.5% Just to make sure the test was accurate I sent in another one 2K later when I changed the oil. The later sample came back at 2.5% There was no oil added during that time...

    Price of Diesel?

    South East Michigan is hanging in the 2.89-3.29 range. I generally pay 2.99-3.09 and burn 80-120 gallons a week.

    Repair Price??

    My dealer wanted 1200 for ball joints & sway arm bushings only. So going by that you did a hell of a lot better than I would have. (if I let them do it)

    Code reader suggestions...

    I'm thinking I should start carrying a reader. It will have to be a stand alone reader since I'm not a laptop/palm computer guy yet. Still glued to the desktop so AE is out. So what are you all using? why?
