    Whoops! ran out of diesel, what now?

    Don't use starting fluid too many times on these Strokers or you'll end up breaking something. I work on diesels everyday and was tought the old school way and new school way. One of the things I was tought was to not use ether or starting fluid at all. What powerboatr said works everytime...

    Dualmass Flywheel

    I second what 94f450sd said. I noticed on some of the trucks I worked on that they would kind of feel like it was rough during braking like your rotors were warped with clutch disengaged . Replaced clutch and flywheel and it went away. I too went with LUK clutches on a 94' dually I had. I...

    Daytona 500 thought

    No offense to Tony Stewart Fans but they should have DQ'd him with what he did. Now what happened next with Matt Kenseth deems to be put back at the end of the pack but what Tony Stewart did was try to take Matt out period. Cocky sucker ain't he. Klye Petty got an eye full of a car. Dang...

    whats the best programmer for my 6.0?

    I have the Bully Dog Triple Dog. Man I love this one. They have trans tune on these like the SCT Xcal 2. Now I will have the SCT as soon as I order some injecthers so I can have it fine tuned.

    Changing Weather.........

    I've been looking like RoboCop or Forest Gump because of this crap here lately. Wearing my leg brace is getting on my last nerve also all this medical hardware in me throbbing all the time is really pissing me off too. This drastic change in weather doesn't seem right to me either.

    trouble light

    Had to go turn myine on to get the light to light up. the one she is talking about looks like a staging light and has an arrow on the right side would be the engine air filter light. In other words the air filter restriction gauge has reached the change filter mark. Pull out your air filter...

    Improved fuel mileage

    I was getting 17 stock then 19.5 when I put just the programmer on. Then I finally found out this weekend why I was getting only 15 when I changed my tires to bigger ones. I changed my spedo with my outlook moniter and found out that it was set at 31.75 tires and my stock tires where actually...

    Transmission Fluid in Fuel

    Seafoam is very good in 2 stroke and 4 stroke gas. I also use it to clean the carbs on the 2 strokes I work on at work. As for the Trans fluid I still use it today to prime the fuel system on all my ag equipment and the old 7.3L IDI.

    Valve cover R/R?

    Once you remove the Vaccum on the heater box there is in actually reality no difference in the room to remove number 7 injector. It seems harder but it is easier to do the passenger side than the driver side (In removing stuff out of the way). I've done these engines top ends so many times...

    Torqueshift tranny TQ converter

    Press your tow/haul button on. That causes the torque convertor to stay locked in till a certain rpm like a stall convertor on gassers.

    03 powerstroke turbo why is it better?

    SubaruWRX, its like a helicopter. You can change the pitch of the blades while the blades are spinning. The turbo whistle on the 03' 6.0L has got to be the best noise in the world. I love just screaming past people to see the looks on their faces.

    Help with weird occurance

    Tires are the concern on the wobble if it goes away after 40 mph but if stays there the entire time driving then you have a servere front end problem. But from what your saying I will go with whatabudro on this on, tires. Replace or get them rebalanced. Rotors would cause this but only times...

    Fuel Prices..... Again

    There are about over 20 around here just south of Fort Worth and proably another 10 going up in the next 6 months. It's like wild fire around here for natural gas.

    Pinion Seal

    No offense but the tech was blowing smoke up your butt. The seal looks like front wheel seals on the front hubs. The only rubber on the seal is in the center that seals againest the yoke. Simply remove your driveline at the axle only and pull back and swing it out of your way or tie it up...

    Torqueshift tranny TQ converter

    My TQ stays locked till 4th I believe. If I get into it till about 4th then let off a little it will stay building till about 3500 RPMs then shift. Sounds like it is stuck or slipping but it isn't. I am still building speed very fast.

    Line-X before I install my new cap?

    I have mine Line-x also and have the top of the line Leer camper shell on mine. From time to time the shell comes off and the bed is exposed to the open world. Also make it nice when hauling with the shell on. Nothing slides.

    What Happens When............

    Another easier way is to removing the oil sending unit and fill the high pressure oil pump up with oil till it is completely full. Does the same thing as the oil galleys but is a little easier. Primes the hpop faster. Did this too many times at work cause of other idiots who could not...

    im impressed with my girl

    Get the exhaust and intake from Bully Dog to complete the package. I promise you you will be even more impressed. It freaks me out every once and awhile. I can break em' loose at 35MPH. The 7.3L no doubt hands down was a work horse but these 6.0L can run like scalded apes.

    Soot

    But then your looking at the side and back of your truck also being sooty too.:thumbs

    Soot

    The best way I found to keep it off is to not lay into that little skinny pedal the driver's side floorboard that makes the truck for some reason go really fast. What I do is get like Eagle one wet black for tires and spray it on the tip. When it gets sooty you can just wipe it away. Also...
