    Exhaust Brake Questions

    I had an EBPV controller for a few years. I found that, in comparison to a real inline exhaust brake, it's not terribly good. Works great for around-town driving, but when pulling heavy it leaves a lot to be desired. So as far as that goes, consider what your needs are; the budget will figure...

    New turbo, findings, and some questions

    Hello all - My stock turbo took a dive on me, so I got an HT Turbo. My mechanic put it in while I was at work, so I got it when I got back home a couple of days ago. Things I've noticed: Thermocouple in same location (post), and temps now UP. Used to run 450-500 on freeway, now...

    Propane injection/fuel injectors

    I think one of the first things that will help is to know what your definition of "efficient" is - mileage, use of secondary fuel, etc. The second question is what is your budget? If you're holding around $1500, then the propane system is your only option. If you've got enough cash to put...

    Hello,

    This actually isn't as out-there as you might think - there have been repeated studies in Seoul, Mexico City, etc., that directly correlate pollution and death rates due to respiratory and cardiac disease. The higher the particle counts, the more people die, and it can be shown on a day by day...

    trailer weight

    Equally dumb, I pulled roughly 35k gooseneck from WY to SC. 75 was totally out of the question, the truck worked to do 65. I don't know the exact weight....but I can say that the rear leaf springs were flat, and the trailer tires looked half full, and weren't. The exhaust brake was sure...

    Hello,

    I'm almost wondering if it's Lux. No real evidence pointing to that....just a hunch.

    Added 4" SS exhaust and now I have a 3,250 RPM skip

    My HPOP has no leaks, got them taken care of. The mechanic who did the fix also looked inside it and said it was looking pretty good, no significant amount of sludge. and you're right, I've found my truck to be pretty sensitive to total oil level - when it gets down more than a quart it...

    Added 4" SS exhaust and now I have a 3,250 RPM skip

    Hard to say without a little more info. I know when I had my leaking HPOP the two biggest symptoms were (a) falling flat with my foot in the floor (typically when next to a duramax), and (b) running a little louder with lower mileage - but this was subtle. There are people who've rigged...

    Added 4" SS exhaust and now I have a 3,250 RPM skip

    Might also be running out of high pressure oil - I know that mine had trouble like this when I had a leaking HPOP, it would run up to a point where it would just fall flat on its face, and did it in each gear (probably around 3400 rpm). Even if you don't have a leak, the programmer might be...

    MOBIL-1 Synthetic ATF warning!

    another option Due to a recommendation by another PSD owner, I picked up several quarts of MTF Glide for my 6spd from www.specialtyformulations.com. Spendy stuff, about $10/qt, but meets all our needs and ratings. Bad news is the guy charged an arm and a leg for shipping. My understanding...

    Hello,

    wow DUDE - Hutch, when I saw the thread on TDS that you were over here, I came right over and signed up. Been a long time since I'd seen you around, and I'll add on my thanks for all your help and hard work. Many thanks!
