    What is fuel costing you?

    Passed a Shell station here in my area today......$4.89 for diesel--I did a double-take when I saw that. They won't be seeing me anytime soon...:rant

    Bilstien help

    Boy, I'll second that......they are terrific. My truck was pretty good before but since I put the Bilsteins on I can feel a HUGE difference. Handles/rides far better than before the Bilsteins.

    Mixing bio and regular diesel fuels.

    I don't have a heater on mine either but if using the B99 is gonna cause a problem with the filter than I may just have to switch to a different filter. We don't have any biodiesel around these parts but I do a lot of traveling in the summer and I'm pretty sure I'll be running into biodiesel...

    Mixing bio and regular diesel fuels.

    Thanks for the info. I have 2 fuel filters on the truck, one regular up top and a Dahl 100 below. That should be a big help I would think.

    Mixing bio and regular diesel fuels.

    I'm going to be traveling to OH in a few weeks so I'll be filling up the tank with diesel before I leave. I'm told there are some bio stations along the route I'll be taking and wanted to find out if it's okay to mix bio with regular diesel fuel. Don't know much about the bio, there are no...

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    Okay--Zoodad is complete. Here's a pic of my truck and some pics of what I did. Sprayed a primer on first, then used a black marine paint but let the screws stay silver since this is Bama's design........:D It was very easy to do and took about 45 min. Haven't had a chance yet to drive the...

    What is fuel costing you?

    WOW!!!! It's $4.79 here now but I'm guessing by next week we will hit $5 or darn close to it. Just unbelievable!!! A big Exxon-Mobil CEO was on the Today show this morning saying how they had no control over this and they are just spending tons of money to expand the current refineries so...

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    Well Bama, I checked your Zoodad mod out and I like the looks of it not to mention it seems pretty easy to do which means I can do it myself. Printed out your pics/directions, gonna make a trip to Loew's tomorrow and put the thing together. Great info by the way--wish all the mods were that...

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    Hah, I tell them that anyway......most of the time I'm not lying tho. Had a friend in here the other day with an '06 F150 gasser and said he gets 13-14mph on that truck. When I told him I'm getting 18 to 18.5mph on the road he didn't believe me so I took him for a drive to prove it. He was...

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    Zoodad mod is done--it looks good!! Have some questions regarding the Zoodad mod. Will this work well on my diesel? What are the pros and cons of doing this mod? :confused: I did do a search on it but none of the posts really stated how the Zoodad helps. Want to get some good info...

    Using new veggie oil

    So if I ran virgin oil in my truck does this mean that additives are not necessary?? No 2-stroke oil (why would you?), no Diesel Kleen???

    Using new veggie oil

    So what do you figure it costs you per gal. to run on this??? Are you mixing in any diesel fuel when you're on the road?

    Using new veggie oil

    Here's the website where he's getting his info from: Biofuel Basics : Revolutionary new biofuel that runs cleanly in any diesel engine without engine modification! He's using their "starter" fluid.

    Using new veggie oil

    Well he seems to be of the opinion that because the oil has never been used that it would work just fine with a "mixer" (trying to find out just what that mixer is). From all I've been reading sounds like there's a lot more to it than that. If it were that easy there'd be a run on veggie oil...

    Using new veggie oil

    I have a friend who sent me an email to tell me he's using veggie oil he buys new in a grocery store in his diesel. First time he mixed it with half a tank of diesel fuel and now he's going to fill up his tank with the veggie oil and a "mixer". Not sure yet what the "mixer" is but will check...

    WHAT THE HECK

    Here in lower Bucks Co. diesel fuel is $4.53/gal at the local stations. I do go to NJ to buy my fuel, it's not a long drive and well worth it. No bio stations around here at all and they would probably be high anyway. Think I'm gonna check into this WVO thing, see what I need to do and how...

    Rumor or Not

    I changed my transmission fluid and I decided to go synthetic (Rotella). I was told that you should never use synthetic transmission fluid because it causes slippage and other problems. After talking to somebody that knows these trucks very well I was told this is "an old wives tale" and if...

    POWER DOOR LOCKS

    Uh yeah, that did occur to me. Guess I should have asked "where in the door" but I'll figure it out....thanks anyway.

    POWER DOOR LOCKS

    I was going to post about this very problem. The lock on the passenger side of my truck seems to be weak......will go 1/4 the way up but does go all the way down when I lock the truck. Key fob is new so don't think that's any part of the problem. So where do I find the actuator?

    What is fuel costing you?

    Stations around my area are getting anywhere from $4.20/gal to $4.29/gal. I drive to NJ to buy my fuel......anywhere from $.50 to $.75/gal cheaper depending on where I go.

    Which shocks to put on.....

    Thanks for the feedback--much appreciated. Looks like I'll be going with Bilsteins. :sweet And Crumm, fortunately for us here in PA it doesn't get quite as cold as it does up your way so I think I'll be okay. :D

    Which shocks to put on.....

    Getting ready to put some new shocks on the SD but not quite sure which ones to get. On one side I hear Bilsteins are the way to go and on the other Edelbrocks. I've always thought Bilsteins were the better of the two but wanted to get some opinions from you folks. What's the difference...
