    Switching oil

    What is your syn. oil change interval Dave? What should he expect w/ the switch? I'm considering this myself. Do you bother with oil analysis? I'm using Blackstone, running Delo 400 and getting about 6,000+ miles before any significant shear breakdown.

    weird whistle

    In the bible, look @ the Left Rear of Engine Photo. The long red line from #1 goes right across the y-pipe. Those two shiny pipes go up and join together right behind the turbo. See how at the bottom of the y-pipes they are connected w/ expansion joint clamps. What a tight spot it is! Can a...

    I'd be o.k. w/ that too. My delete came on Friday! Can't wait to get it done; but it'll be a few weeks. ......Knowing you're not recycling crap through your system...Priceless!

    weird whistle

    Is that to say that you have pressure tested the system and ruled out boot or ic leak? Yes, it's a tight/tough fix if it's cracked y-pipe or connection at the expansion joints that connect it to exhaust manifolds. It's not automatic that they remove cab though. When I had a leak there, the...

    weird whistle

    When I had suspected leaks, I purchased the 4" Turbo leak detector from DieselSite/Riley,one of our sponsers here. Made it real easy to track down even the smallest of leaks. I used a dauber brush applicator and leak detector fluid after pressurizing(you can use soapy water). A mechanics mirror...

    Thanks Dave, I'll definately check that out. My son has been trying to convert me to Mac for a long time, and I'm loving the new speed and ease. In fact this iMac is his old one; he bought a new Mac Mini, and does everything wirelessly on his big screen. Pretty dang cool.

    It's on it's way! When it does arrive I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it. I use truck for Buss. and I recently just sold my F-150 back up truck. Any words of wisdom are certainly welcome. Does it come w/ good pictured instructions?

    Apple Safari. I recently switched from PC to iMac, I may need to adjust settings on it? I'm still learning the ropes of my new format. Thanks, additional advice welcome.

    Thanks Dave, I wasn't getting ready to fill up my Coke bottle here, don't worry. I was looking for some direction on a purported intake refurbishing/flush/clean, what ever they may call it. And it's not just cleaning and vacumning the egr valve hole in intake manifold that I'm talking about. And...

    I've got a hunch that it's probably something similar to that with some kind of product or another and then charge an enormous amount for. I'd like to find out if it works and is it something we can do ourselves. Anybody know? :dunno

    Yeah, I hear you. I didn't want to get in over my head. Maybe after the delete install we just run the heck out of it and it will clean itself up a bit. I've read on a post before that the dealers have an intake cleaning procedure, I'm going to try and find that or call the dealer and see what...

    Glad to hear this Nascar Fan. I just ordered a RCD delete kit. Did you do the work yourself? Wondering if it's a good idea to remove entire intake manifold while I'm into it and flush and polish up as good as possible. Or a waste of time & money? I've got 100k miles on the clock now.

    display code

    Do the newer trucks come w/ a TBC stock? We don't have that message come up on our earlier trucks even when we add a TBC, I don't think??

    egr valve

    I understood that. Was wondering if it sets off CEL when you plug it in.

    Very strange indeed. The only thing I can think of is that you've reached the Time to Count you're Blessings mileage. :D I look forward to hearing what the heck it really means.

    egr valve

    I've never heard of this one before. Can you plug in harness or does it trigger the C.E.L. ?

    Question Was I taken for a ride?

    What I know is that when my engine light came on (again!) after leaving the dealer on another unrelated repair and it was ICP sensor; the tech climbed into the engine compartment while I was sitting in the drivers seat and R.&R.'d the ICP sensor in about 10 minutes tops. He reached in w/...
