    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Yep.. Found them on Amazon.. Never did get right with the Oil & Cleaner thing. These have way more media surface than OEM, and soaking them in the warm soapy water is snap. Back flush, air dry.. done deal. I change then out June & January-ish.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Changed out the AFE dry Air Filter today, with it's squeaky clean twin. Soaked the dirty one in warm soapy water for 4 hours, as usual.. still amazes me on how much fine silt get filtered out. Bottom of the deep sink had a layer of Mud.. after the soaking.

    Question Transmission noise

    A little clunking is to be expected, IMO. But being a 016 with only 40K.. take it back to the Dealer for a Warranty Look See. Or....Release the weather boot on the front of the D-shaft. Mark (index) and drop the rear dif U-joint. pull the D-shaft back and off.. Check the Carrier bearing for any...

    Upfitter Switches

    FWIW ? My 012 [Dead Ends] were On the D side. The Fuses are on the P side. Mine were taped to a main loom.. in the upper D side, above and forward of the E-brake assembly. They all had Black "Dipped" ends, and a color code/legend tag... once I found them. Again FWIW ? I cut the legend off, and...

    97 7.3 pcm help

    The PCM needs to be the one from the Van you pulled the 7.3 & Trans from. Or one identical to it by part #.

    02 7.3 Hard Start

    Hey Rich.... I'm think'n that Mil. style battery charger put a [Full & Complete Charge] in your Batteries. The reason I think that is.. on my 7.3, once I went to a 200amp Alternator, with 2, 800+ CCA, AGM batteries (Di-Hards).. from then on.. mine would Fire Up in 3-4 licks. No matter the...

    Aux Idle Controller

    Hey Rich.. I'd go for the Parking Brake switch. Big dif between an 02 and 012 but I know on mine.. unless I apply the P brake pedal until the "P brake On" light comes on.. my AIC won't come up either. You said you had to fiddle with it.. maybe fiddle with it again ? or just replace it ? Check...

    I've noticed the same thing at times on my 012. Seems it has to do with the angle I approach from ? Joe

    8' box and trailer hitch

    Totally Agree. I think that's the Ticket. Short Box= Slider Hitch. If you Don't need to unlock it.. Don't. But it's there if you need it. Situational Awareness is the KEY. Joe

    Help Needed How to use the block heater

    It doesn't take much time for 8 GP's to add some cylinder head heat. They glow Red hot. All the more reason to have, and maintain good batteries ? They pull a lot of amps. Joe

    2001 7.3L gremlins.

    The GEM doesn't need re-programming. Think of it as a... 12v Junction Box. When, or if it gets corroded.. voltage goes, or doesn't go where it's supposed to go. (the un-commanded starting ?) Sometimes.. a GEM just goes T U from time & use. You should probably look at your Ignition switch too ...

    2001 7.3L gremlins.

    Can't say fer shur, but if even One of the replacements leaked.. Go figure. To add a bit to what Dave said (?).. LOAD TEST your batts too. From my experience.. These PSD's are ANAL about Clean, Strong voltage.. from 2 REAL GOOD batteries. If ONE is weak.. replace them BOTH. yer now on 16 years...

    2001 7.3L gremlins.

    Welcome to SDD ! What Dave said First.. And then ? Drop and inspect the in cab fuse block. And right above that is the GEM.. thats where All Things electrical connect for distribution.. after the fuse block. Inspect those for corrosion. The +/- 2K model years are/were noted for Windshield...

    2001 f350 to 2005-2007 f350 headlight swap

    It's doable.. I would call it Trimming. Cutting (?) not so much. Go slow, wear a mask & goggles.. the dust from that composite stuff can be nasty.. on the nose & eyes ? Joe

    Economy

    What John said. X2 You need to have gauges before you do any re-programming. Or get a set of Tunes that also has gauges as part of the install. Don't rely on the stock (minimal) dash gauges.* Exhaust gas temp (EGT), Engine Coolant temp (ECT), Transmission Fluid temp (TFT) and Boost Pressure...

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    Be gentle with the removal.. use the old ones for a pattern for length and bends.. then just re-route the new ones.. to fit. Joe

    6.4 engine seized.

    Our guess would be as good as yours.. You won't know 'til you tear it down. But If the #6 GP was crushed.. #6 piston traveled to far.. which could mean.. wrist pin, rod, rod bearing cap, crank shaft issues. Not Good. Joe

    Help Needed How to use the block heater

    Yes. Yours should too. (?) The WTS light should [always] cycle @ the first start of the day.. or anytime the engine has been shut down long enough to cool down to where the ECM/PCM senses the need for Glow Plug/Cylinder head heat. (ULSC Diesel)(sadly) Here in CENCAL, I don't plug mine in...

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    From the Pics, the [FUEL LINES] are internal to that heater body. Those leaking/soft lines are no more the Heater Hose. All you need is the right size, common Heater Hose, to replace them. Joe What you have there is part of a WVO (homemade Bio-diesel) set up. A PO was make'n his own Home...
