    no rear running lights

    if worse comes to worse, and you can't find the break, you can always pull power off of the front parking lights and run a jumper back. It would only be one wire, and it will get you through the inspection.

    no rear running lights

    have you checked the sockets? they could be burned out or lots of times the factory puts grease on the socket, when the grease dries up it turns to a gummy mess and you can lose contact. Happens all the time on chevy tails. Are you rebuilding this truck? You may have to check the wires behind...

    Question Elect fuel pump

    The flecks COULD be from your pump... but could have just as easily been donated by your friendly neighborhood gas station:D You may want to check fuel pressure, and monitor your bowl closely. To do ball joints, you can use the "pickle fork" style seperator, but personally, and I suspect most...

    Question 6.0 Stuff, Ideas, problems

    well I will take a shot... 1. Perfectly normal for this engine. Mine is the same when it is cold out. 2. The top of the filter element snaps into the filter cap. It will just pop out. If you want a good cap, buy a billet one off of ebay. You will never have to worry about breaking it. $50 or...

    CEL question

    You may not want to wait for it to come on again... If they can't pull the code again, you can always tell them. The code you listed is a turbo underboost code. Could be your egr valve, vgt actuator, a damaged impeller, or any of these things could be dirty and need cleaning. Worst case scenario...

    6.0 Gremlins

    How bout an international truck shop? They would definitely have a trained diesel tech on hand, and it is an international/navistar motor, afterall. Same as the vt365.

    6.0 Gremlins

    I would really lean towards an injector problem....They can be difficult to diagnose if they don't throw a code, and they can come and go. Anybody else have any ideas??? Sounds like the dealer has no idea, and doesn't want to invest the time to do more than plug in the obd2. The 6.0 shouldn't...

    6.0 Gremlins

    could you tell us everything that the shop has done to it so far? Have they torn into anything or looked at injectors/ipr/hpop? The '03s were riddled with problems and I think there are many things that could contribute to what you are describing. Another thing to consider... have you taken it...

    how big can I go?

    I believe you can clear 33" with no lift and a 35" with about a 2" front leveling kit.

    Ignorant tuner question

    Well I feel kinda dumb now for taking off the manifold... But at least it made me feel better knowing for sure I didn't have a pile of shavings ready to "polish" the vanes on my turbo.:sweet Anyway, I still don't see how one tuner can add power more safely than the other, considering they go...

    Question DPF Regeneration

    this sounds perfectly normal to me, from what I know of the dpf system. It will regen more or less depending on driving conditions.

    Ignorant tuner question

    and the banks actually "piggy-backs" the factory ecu, so it recieves an modifies signals going in/out without reprogramming the factory ecu. so you could stack them, but the banks would actually be overriding the sct tune!

    Ignorant tuner question

    Well, texa&m seemed to indicate an interest in improved fuel mileage/driveability over the huge power gains of some tuners. any way to get a mileage/economy tune with the sct? Can you plug a set of guages right into the harness already under the dash like with the banks? or do they have to be an...

    No 4x4 light?

    as much as you don't want to, that is the first thing I would check.:sorry The wire loom that hooks onto the engagement actuator on the transfer case is routed along the transmission crossmember,under the tranny so a lot of times can get caught on something or frayed/broken. also check the...

    Question Need help with home electrical

    how many hp is the motor on the fan? Depending on the size you might want to consider running a new circuit, especially if you plan to run other high draw devices on that series of outlets.

    Help Needed wouldnt start this morning!!

    Wow that is a pretty specific diagnosis. What do you think is causing the software incompatability?....couldn't that one code also cause a no start/ all kinds of low circuit/ pressure codes? the gradual nature of this problem would make me think of the hpop or icp reg.
