    Wheezing noise

    Hey, I noticed lately that a wheezing or whining noise has started possibly near the turbo. It almost sounds like an electric motor straining, its very faint and only heard on idle, or slightly above idle but once the engine revs up you can not hear it. Also seems to be more pronouned after...

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Hey, Well put 30$ worth of chokes on and nada, doesnt do anything. I put them on the wire that goes to the fuse box, which I dont think is a power wire but a power on wire. Also put themon the main power cord going to the back of the chip, 4 to be exact because I can't wrap them around a...

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Hey, Is that was its called, an in line choke? Never heard of it before, but it sounds like its worth a shot. What do you mean by wire leads? As far as I know its just the wire that goes to the fuse box, the wire that goes to the pyro and the wire that goes to the OBD port. This sounds like...

    Batteries, Revisited

    Welcome to Canada, everything's more expensive here. 2 fuel filters is over $110 here.\ My stock batteries left me stranded at 3 years old, I guess it depends on what you use the truck for.

    Batteries, Revisited

    I hear people saying how good yellow tops are on the net all the time, but from the people I know that have used them have always said they crap out in the 2-3 year range no matter what. They arn't a long term battery. My stock 04 ford ones crapped out after 3 years of heavy use, and I just...

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Im wondering if its tapped in to the wrong fuse in the fuse box. If it was in the radio spots fuse would it do something like this? The guy was confused when he was first doing it, about which fuse was which. Maybe I should check it out. Cheers Jeff

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Yes when I pop it out I belive its not running the programming, althought im not exactly sure how that works, the PMT is an outlook/chip in one, so I figure when I take it out it is not working anymore. Thanks Jeff

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    The book say to tie in to the odb/cig lighter fuse. The guy also replaced the radio fuse to, by accident I belive if that might have anything to do with it. Cheers

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Hi, Thanks, I will see if I can get it out. I don't really know how working under the steering wheel could have loosened an antenna wire but I guess its worth checking. The radio still works, just a few of the stations I used to get no problem I don't really get at all now. lots of fuzz...

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    There wasn't to much wiring done under the dash however I guess its possible. Would this be directly on the back of the deck? How do I take the deck out to check the connections? Its just a stock system, we didn't take it out to put the chip in. Basically just plugged it in to the ODB port and...

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Hey, Just put in a Bullydog PMT (which is great!) but I noticed my radio reception has signifigantly decreased in qualty. Any idea what would cause this? Possibly the programmer its self? Its driving me nuts! Thanks Jeff

    Safe Temps

    Hey, Just added a PMT to my truck mostly for the fuel economy but I didn't think it would pick the truck up as much as it has. Anyways what are safe EGT, Trans and Coolant temps to use for defueling? I mean what is considered "Safe" and what is starting to get in to trouble? Also what is a...

    aftermarket gauges

    Hey, I started to get in to this on another thread, if I hook up a bullydog PMT, will it be accurate enough with the stock probe? I don`t really have enough room for more gauges. Cheers Jeff

    Weird Overheating

    Hey, Im getting a bullydog PMT on monday, mostly for the gauges and some fuel economy. I thought that other then pyro it uses the stock computer for monitoring values, will this suffice? Cheers Jeff

    Weird Overheating

    Hey, Just got back in from a 30 KM trip. I was going up a hill doing about 120 Km/h and at the top I noticed the check guage light was on and my engine temp was on red. I immediatly pulled over and within 10 seconds of stopping the heat needle had dropped to half way between good and red. I...

    Nitto Terra Grappler tires?

    Well the reason I don't want to go the blizzaks is I want to leave whatever I put on until they wear out, and not have to purchase another summer set and store the winters. Ive also burned through blizzaks way to fast, not a huge fan. Ive heard some people have good luck with the grapplers. What...

    Power issues

    Did the alt test and it was running at 14.0 volts. I think it will do for now but I will be upgrading to one of those 160 amp HD alternators. Cheers Jeff

I am getting my alt output tested tomorow, if its low I will change it out with a 160 HD one otherwise ill try it for another...
