    wiring problem?

    I would bet you have one bad pole on your headlight switch. You should be able to swap it yourself, and save some money. The dash trim pops off and the headlight switch should snap into the back, then the wire unplugs. I cant remember for sure, but there might not even be any fasteners. Just...

    10k on mobil1 5w40 w/amsoil bypass filter oil report

    and so...... I should change my oil, but I dont have to if I dont want to??????:confused: so from what I am seeing in this report, this oil probably isn't going to make it to the financial break even point that I calculated around 20K miles. (considering filters, oil, and analysis costs vs...

    Reckon What This Would Weigh?

    ever check out uship.com? I have used it a few times when I go on trips to make back a bit of fuel cost. Lots of guys who are deadheading, especially this time of year with all the farm equip being delivered, could pick up the load off that site, lots of times will do it just for the fuel and a...

    lazy 6.0

    The gains that banks advertises are with an intake and exhaust. turn the key to on but do not start the engine. green light should flash with cold engine, once the engine reaches op temp, the green light will stay on all the time. If it is ok, the red led will never be on. If there is no lights...

    Oops #2

    My last loaner was a chevy aveo, BRIGHT yellow, smelled like somebody spilled a spitter over the whole car interior while smoking 10 packs a day with the windows up, with 4 bald mismatched tires(and one went flat on me). Only 38K on it though.... I wonder why somebody would have let the lease go...

    New to Forum - About to buy a new F250

    v10....ouch.... you must own shares in the gas companies! anyway, I am fairly confident you will love a diesel for towing. The 6.4 is being improved upon everyday, ford is still trying to figure out how to balance the fuel mileage with achieving emissions standards. I have heard that the first...

    Oops #2

    most def. It looked like rust to me at first, but if it is not, it is purely bad prep work. How long has that paint been on there? a good shop should be able to go into the problem areas only and fade and cut/ buff it back into the good areas.

    Question Diablo tuner????

    A banks 6-gun does not set any codes.(that is what I have) It is plugged in to the harness between the engine and ecu, and intercepts and modifies signals going in and out of the ecu. So you get all the power, but the ecu never recieves any signals out of normal parameters. it also interfaces...

    Question Is there any good 6.o's out there?

    The 6.0 is an engineering marvel when it runs right. It is more like a piece of art than an engine. I have had problems with mine too, but considering the complexity of all the systems involved in this engine, and the power output, the later models are very reliable. Yeah the 03 and some 04's...

    Getting ready for a 3K mile tow w/ 5th wheel

    If you are going to change oil in your differentials, make sure and put in 1 pt. of friction modifier with the oil, otherwise your limited slip will start to act up. I would look at your u joints and carrier bearings if it is a shudder under load. Or is what you are describing more of a wheelhop...

    lazy 6.0

    The banks on level 6 should have a gain of 138hp and 238ft/lbs. You will definitely feel it if it is on. If there is a trouble code thrown by the truck, depending on the code, the banks will turn its tuning off, and revert to factory tune as a safety measure. On the top of the banks unit under...

    Brakes!!

    Personally, I have had better luck with turning rotors than buying new ones. I guess I can only attribute it to the fact they have already been through many heat cycles, maybe to the point they start to stabilize and then are turned true again? Anyway, you can buy the best rotors out there...

But when I got to minneapolis on the way to lake of the ozarks to pick up my girlfriend's dad, mom, his 22.5' crownline and standup jetski, I got the whole," do we really need all that stuff?"...

    Help Needed HPOP pressure (dealer vs autoenginuity)

    Those are good prices, much better than I payed at the stealership. Like I said, I was stuck 1500 miles from home in B.F. Iowa, or I would have done it myself:( They knew they had me stuck there and took the opportunity to make a few hundo off me.(also charged me 30$/gal for coolant and 150 for...

    Help Needed HPOP pressure (dealer vs autoenginuity)

    I had a similar problem last summer, got towed to a dealer in the middle of nowhere iowa. They really didn't have any diesel specialists there and ford has a tsb that directs the mechanics to replace both the icp and the hpop in that situation. So I payed the $2700 and had them both done...

    Need some help please

    Maybe give them a call, I would suspect you have a sticky injector or 2 when your truck is cold. If you take it back and tell them it is not better, same problem, they might even wave the diagnostic charge to do the further testing. Do you have a warranty still?
