    Hard Start and Bad Running

    I think I just solved my problem, I just changed the oil and everything is fine as far as the hard starting goes. I will have to wait and see about the bad running in the morning. I guess I went a little to long on my last oil change and the oil wasn't building up enough pressure for the...

    Hard Start and Bad Running

    Hi all, I am having a problem with starting and running issues. In the mornings, or the first starting of the day, the truck starts fine but she runs like it is 20 degrees outside even though it is in the 60's. This straightens out after about 1-2 miles of driving and everything is fine. Now the...

    Better Brakes

    Ok, you had me at hello! I meant you had me until the squeaking part. How bad do they squeak because that really annoys the heck out of me. Do they also squeak on the non-cryo rotors? Scott

    Better Brakes

    What are my options for better brakes on my truck? I have replaced them once about a month or 2 ago and the front ones are warped again. I know when and where it happened thanks to the idiot that was doing 15mph on I-75 in Atlanta! Anyway, I haul alot so I need something that will last and hold...

    Towing - Straight Pipe

    I had the 4inch MBRP from the turbo out without the cat and muffler. This was great until I hauled a camper and the noise would bounce off of it and that got annoying real quick. I loved the sound but I could only take so much of it on a trip. I now have the MBRP muffler back on and I like it...

    Broken Transmission

    Thanks for the info Stephen. I also found out the name of the convertors that my local shop uses. The name is Precision Industries. According to BTS site that Stephen posted, they use them as well. Has anybody heard or used them and if so what kind of info do you have? I would also like to know...

    Hard to start

    Ok, my girl has hit 99,562 miles and she is falling apart. First the trans and now she almost didn't start. I had her plugged up all night and just went out to start her and nothing. I had to cycle the glow plugs a few times just to get her to start and boy she sounds bad. I also noticed that...

    Broken Transmission

    I'm not really questioning the price as much as I am the newer technollogy. I guess I am asking if an old school trans guy can rebuild the newer trans. He has rebuilt many of the 4R100's but not any of the Torqueshifts. Scott

    Broken Transmission

    Ok guys and gals, I need some help bad. I need to replace or rebuild my trans. I experienced some weird things today with my girl and after all was said and done it comes out that the torque convertor is going. I am still able to drive her but the problem is getting worse. Oh, I guess I need to...

    Idle question

    No, I got to the location at around 2am and I unloaded at 7am. I hate paying for a room and only use it for 4-5 hours. I am also inside a locked gate and I have other protection so I feel pretty safe. Scott

    Idle question

    Thanks for the replies guys, I didn't get a chance to reply before I left but my wife kept me informed. Anyway, all went well and I didn't have to idle at all thanks to the wife and her insisting on taking extra blankets. As for the questions, the 325 is the EGT which is pre-turbo. I idle at a...

    Idle question

    I will be traveling tonight and sleeping in my truck. I will have to idle the truck for about 5-6 hours at 1200 rpm. This puts me at around 325 degrees, is this hot enough? How hot does the engine need to be to prevent fuel in the oil? Thanks Scott

    Rearend Noise

    Update I have tried multiple different things but the result is always the same. I did use the limited slip additive from the get go but the "chatter" came about 3-4k later. The only time I feel it is when the steering is turned and the truck is rolling at idle, anything above idle and it...
