    Replacement Shocks

    I run the 5100 bilstein and have been very happy with them, my wifes excursion is stock and i tried the rancho and the pro comp and both of them failed about 1-2 years into it (actually blued the shaft from riding in the same 2" area and getting hot) and that is not a good return on shocks in my...

    Finally Added Edge Tuner

    yeah i know it will kill the motor at 1500* it was just a test for about 2 seconds maybe 3 and it happened at 92 MPH, i am guessing it will happen when i pull a hill with my toyhauler hooked up so i will have to be very careful, i have a 4" MBRP but the cat is still in because i cant pass my...

    Oil Leak

    while you have the hose off it is easier to use a flashlight to look down under all the componets into the valley below and see if you see any oil down there coming out of the different sensors that are bolted in the valley, sometimes these sensors leak and it runs out the back also check out...

    Question 30 PSI boost then "BOOM"

    Thanks for all the input, i have checked the boots and pulled a load and it all seems to be working fine, i can hit 27-29 LB of boost plus or minus a few LB's. If the 6.0's dont have waste gates i wonder what made the noise, and like i said the wrench icon was on until i rekeyed it and after...

    Question 30 PSI boost then "BOOM"

    As soon as i got home i rekeyed it and it drives great, i thought i might find a blown intercooler boot but there was none, i guess the wastegate opening must have been ther large boom sound and then it defueled itself, i dont know it all runs fine whatever safety is built in to protect it must...

    Whats up with this fan shroud

    Have you seen anything that takes the place of the stock shroud to make it easier for access???? thanks for the advice. I tried lifting the belt but i could not get it on, maybe the tensioner is new and is extra strong, I got it back on by bumping around like a bicycle chain, probably not the...
