    Lack of power

    What does the EGR do exactly? Does it control the amount of Exhaust gas recirculated? Will not the combustion temperatures rise if removed? Do you need reduce exhaust back pressure and improve airflow before messing with this? Sorry for all the questions just trying to understand how...

    What is a straight pipe?

    when you guys talk about your trucks have straight pipes do you mean you have removed the muffler and particulate filter? My diesel mechanic neighbor suggested I remove these to improve airflow, reduce egr's and get better mileage. We don't have green police like California so I am not...

    Zoodad or Screwedad?

    Ok SD folks, In frustration with my issues of mileage, and lack of fresh air coming into the cabin when the windows are closed...diesel exhaust seems to permeate the air when the A/C or fan are on...I cut a 3"wx4"h hole inside the driver side grill in front of the air intake. I couldn't...

    '03 250 PSD Rough Running Until Warm?

    I also experience rough idling when the truck first starts with a cold engine, along with lack of power if I don't let the tranny temp come into range. my truck does not idle near 1100 though, it usually drops to 650-750 after a few minutes of running.

    Question Mileage Question

    Bush Pilot you are not far behind our fuel prices I pay $180/Fill on a 40 Gal tank. I heard that you can sometimes get better mileage by using different brands of fuel. I will try using an alternate source next fill and see where I end up. Right now I use Co-op fuel as I get a .16/litre...

    Question Mileage Question

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all the feedback. I am considering the Re-Flash as the engine does rev high(2200) when under 20mph then shifts more smoothly after that, seems to keep the rpms under 2000. I drive like a Grandpa, roll thru stop signs so I don't loose all my momentum and take a 1/4 mile...

    Question Mileage Question

    Hi I am new to diesels and big 4x4 trucks. I bought a 2004 F350 Super Duty Crew Cab Longbox with the anticipation I would get decent highway mileage...20mpg. A friend who drives diesel trucks suggested I would get 22 - 25 mpg, instead of 30 -33 like his truck because of the large size of the...
