    Help Needed Electrical Issues?

    so if both my batteries check out, and my alt. checks out, it's got to be my cables? I had a guy telling me that the alternator has a regulator inside it that may keep it from charging all of the time?

    looking at it again this morning, it appears I'm getting some more corrosion. I even put those damn washer thingys that are supposed to attract the corrosion.

    Help Needed Electrical Issues?

    not having the truck in front of me, If I recall correctly, the negative, off of the pasenger side battery splits to 5 or 6 different smaller wires. And the battery clamps don't appear to be a simple clamp that can be purchases at an auto store. right?

    Help Needed Electrical Issues?

    i guess the best way to check would be to cut the rubber coating back a little ways from the connection and see if any corrosion exist? or do you know of a trick?

    Question EGR replaced by dealer will that last forever

    Egr I saw this on another forum: "Well the EGR is better off unplugged anyways. But if you have anything past an early '04 you can't just unplug it. Lucky for us '03 and early '04 owners :) " If I have an '03 can I just unplug my EGR? Anybody have any suggestion or directions on this?

    wheel bearing assy

    just make sure to get the unit with the same threads as your existing. I messed up and got the corse threaded and my existing unit was fine threaded so I could either replace the lug nuts or switch the lugs out.

    Really been debating a cold air intake

    that plunger will relay a light on your dash saying that your filter is dirty. driving in the dusty conditions, I try to keep all filters as clean as possible.

    ticking timebomb or not

    my axle is shown as D1 — 3.73 limited slip. The 4.10 is better for pulling and the 3.73 is higher geared, possibly for better fuel mileage? Is this correct? Or is it the opposite?

    Really been debating a cold air intake

    I’ve been changing the air filter about every 10k miles and I wanna say the stock filter was running me about $80 or so, but I seem to be mistaken. Well, I guess if you guys aren’t seeing any improvements in performance or gas mileage, the only benefit would be saving money when it comes...

    been thinking about putting an after market air intake on my 6.0. Getting tired of paying $80 for a new air filter every time I change it. Thinking a reusable / cleanable filter would increase performance and save money... any thoughts or suggestions?
