    rainy days

    found a tsb to replace the charge air cooler. it seems during rain or high humidity conditions water is getting into the cooler. i understand the new cooler has larger fins and may even be larger itself. also there is a new program out also. taking the truck in for both!

    A/C system issue, speed related

    make sure the system is not low on freon. If the problem is still there you will need to replace the compressor. as always when you replace the compressor you need to replace the orfice tube and the drier also. i pulled the shim out of mine and got another 15k miles out of it. i figure 160k...

    Tired of Stock Turbo failures

    noticed 3" downpipe in your sig. maybe a larger exhaust sys. will help with the egts and the the heat the chip makes. i have a 02 7.3 f-550 that weighs 18k with 160k miles and knock on wood, no turbo issues.. and believe me, she catches hell.. everyday. but my truck is also stock too.
