    New to Diesel - Questions

    You can use any oil weight that works with your engine (owners manual) as long as the oil is Diesel Rated. I used to use 15W-40 but I got romps when it got cold soI switched to 5W 40 and it runs perfectly. I have a different engine so what works for me might not work for you. I don't know...

    Maintenance is the key to a long engine life. Do your own oil and filters per the schedule in the maintenance book. This should get you many miles. I have been doing my own since I bought my 2004 F-350 in late 2003. I have not yet needed to change the injectors or the pump. The salesman's...

    No rear lights

    You might have a bigger problem than you think. I had the same problem on my 2004 F-350. The running lights would blow a fuse. I replaced over 10 fuses while I looked to find out what the problem was. I searched the entire wiring harness from front to rear. I looked for rat chewing...

    Bump Steer

    I had a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A that I totally rebuilt from the ground up. I dropped a Buick V6, Turbo 400 Auto tranny, 4 wheel disc brakes and a 6 inch lift. After I did the 6 inch lift I noticed bump steer. After a couple of bumps I got used to it and I never changed to a dropped steering arm. I...

    Bump Steer

    You are right yellarCobra, it should not have any bump steer to speak of.

    Bump Steer

    The stabilizer is attached to the AXLE and works on the AXLE. I don't see any interference with a lifted truck or a flattened truck. Suspension has nothing to do with the stabilizer, just the steering.

    Starting problem

    Are your batteries charged up? Will not start if battery voltage drops below 10.5 vdc. Could be a bad CPS which you have replaced (bad from supplier). Good luck!

    Battery

    Buy a good, quality battery. Sears or DEKA are two of the batteries I buy and they seem to last for five years at least. You get what you pay for...

    Wheel shake

    Jack it up and place the rearend on two GOOD jack stands. Start the engine and put it in gear. Have someone press on the throttle while you watch. Look for tire rotation not being circular, look at the drive shaft. I had my drive shaft out of phase 180 degrees and it would shake at 50 mph...
