    My son moved the truck today from out of my garage to wash it so he pulled it into the driveway. It will not run now. It cranks over and sounds like when a gas burner wants to fire but just will not catch and run. Ive plugged it in for the last 4 hours and just tried again. Same thing. When...

On the bottom side of the valve cover on each side is what appears to be a wiring harness that goes into the engine or valve cover at each cylinder. I am assuming there is an oring or grommet for each point that it is inserted. What is this...

    Question R&R EGR Cooler and Oil Cooler

    Well I think its time to consider deleting the EGR Cooler and I think probably will replace the Oil cooler while I'm in there. The truck has always puked a little coolant since I bought it 2 1/2 years ago and I think the puking is the sign of a semi- blocked oil cooler. It has never smoked any...
