    Power Steering hose leak!!

    OK, made it back home.... with no steering power or brake assist (scary with 46" tires!! ). Power steering fluid all over the side of the truck is washed off. Will have to replace that hose Tuesday. Did I damage/ruin my power steering pump driving it without fluid for about 10 minutes on the...

    Question about glow plugs

    Being new to diesel engines (I love them by the way! ) I was wondering, if you start your truck before the 'wait to start' light goes out, what is the possible negative impact(s)?

    Door ajar....

    Anyone else have this problem??? My door ajar light sporadically will stay on when all doors are definately shut. Annoying even though the lights inside eventually go out, the dash light won't. I've gone around and pressed in on every door and slammed them too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it...

    Power Steering hose leak!!

    Arrgghhhh! Christmas eve and I get off the highway and I have no power steering OR BRAKES!! :eek: Apparently the other day when I pulled my turbo to intercooler tubes to clean and check the couplers I reinstalled the driver's side so it was touching the hose coming out of the pump on the side...

    4:88 to 4:10's

    How is the reliability / durability of a 4.88 compared to stock? I am running stock gears on my 4WD '01 Diesel Excursion with 46" tires so I NEED to gear it.... :silly You have front and rear or just rear?

    Vacuum Leak??

    Welll, got some new vacuum hose to replace the old stuff today and will let you guys know how it turns out. I found that by putting the truck in 4WD (sometimes it takes about 30 seconds to engage while sitting there) that the A/C vents start working after that (you can hear the vacuum pull the...

    4WD Low question??????????

    I know this is probably a dumb question.... how fast are you supposed to be able to go in 4WD Low? I haven't done gears on my truck yet and I'm running 46" Mickey Thompson tires. I had it in 4WD Low earlier and it convinced me I need to get the axle gears done SOON! Wow the difference!

    Vacuum Leak??

    OK, good idea! I noticed on the highway today that the dash vents came on for a little while.... guessing a cracked rubber line would be a possible problem. Think I'll just replace all 4 hub lines for a few bucks, until I get the Warn hubs. Then I'll just block them off up top. Will keep ya...

    Front Axle's Not Engaging

    air induction ?

    Makes sense... it would be a lot of really hot air there getting sucked in. If anything you could maybe run a larger intake tube but it's pretty big already, not sure if it would make any increase in flow. You guys have any recommendations on the BEST sounding/performing air intake setup for...

    Vacuum Leak??

    OK, well.... the pump is running. I unplugged the hose from the vacuum side and put my finger on it (the one that goes to what I believe is a vacuum canister??) and the pump stopped until I removed it. It runs constantly when it's connected to the hose though. There's a white/yellowish nipple...

    Vacuum Leak??

    Cool!! I will check out that electric pump.... is there a fuse for it somewhere if it's not working or is it common for them to burn out? Thanks a million!:hail :cowboy:

    Vacuum Leak??

    I'm thinking my 7.3 has a vacuum leak SOMEWHERE.... My automatic 4WD is not locking in and my A/C blows cold BUT it only works on defrost no matter what position the knob is (Max, A/C, Vent, etc..) which makes me think there's a leak somewhere. Also, isn't the wastegate controlled by vacuum? If...

    Boost leak question?

    Thanks guys! I took the two pipes from the turbo to the intercooler off today and cleaned / checked them for holes. They were probably at least leaking some because probably 6 out of the eight coupling ends had oily residue buildup... one with a lot on the driver's side intercooler connection...

    Boost leak question?

    Cool thread! I have the same issue on the Excursion I just got... driven a few lightly modded/chipped Powerstrokes before and never heard this air-leak (sounds like a punctured tire almost) sound before. Plus, when I get on the highway as it builds boost I hear the leak kinda sputter. No exhaust...
