    RV sized Ice Maker ?

    You got a good price on that one. $79 bucks is about all it's worth to me, as the regular price of $219 can buy a heck of allot of ice at the local $2 ice machine. 20 lbs bulk for $2.

    Oil cooler?

    From what I've seen, the BulletProofDiesel oil cooler kit is really not a good comparison to a factory style. Sure the money is WAY less with the IPResearch or even a factory oil cooler, but the way they operate is the difference. I just had my oil cooler replaced (EGR delete at the same time)...

    EGR delete and new oil cooler

    Well, it finally happened. Engine getting too hot, but the EDAS from Powerstrokehelp.com system I installed some time back saved me... sorta. About 5 months ago I flushed the cooling system (long story, won't go into it) using up about 8 hours on a Saturday. Caught the original coolant in a...

    OEM Gearsets

    The upshot - probably not going to have problems with the EGR coking up. Coolant temps staying within range?

    Vehicle &Trailer Scales

    You could always make your own using a regular bathroom scale. Besides the scale itself, you'd need a sturdy piece of square tubing about 6 feet long, and a sturdy piece of 2" pipe about 6 or 8 inches long. The length of the pipe is not critical, as it's only going to be used to support the...

    Vehicle &Trailer Scales

    Take it to a truck stop. Chances are there's a couple near each other, and chances are at least ONE of them has scales.

    Question-Is Rev-X snake oil or does it solve stiction?

    I used it in mine right after I had the oil changed. So, about 2k miles on it now. It did seem to help with how the engine ran at idle when it was cold, and seemed to help when the engine was warming up with missing. Also, I just got the "blue spring" kit installed last weekend. THAT seemed...

    2005 6.0 won't start in the cold

    Please let us know what happens! That's some good info, Dave.

    04 6.0 turbo question

    As DaveBen said, anything on that truck can wear out. Does it sound right? Unfortunately, yes. 138k+ miles will do that, especially if regular maintenance wasn't so "regular". If the bearings are bad, there's a good chance you'll see evidence of oil getting past the cold side bearing and...

    2005 6.0 won't start in the cold

    Did you figure out what the problem was? Here's my "help": First, do the obvious: Check to ensure the fuel isn't gelled up. When it's a cold start (and 0 deg. F is pretty dang cold), cycle the key to "on", listen for the injectors to stop chattering, then cycle the key to "off". You don't...

    Overheat condition

    Eric, I bet you STAY in trouble, don't you?!! Neck get a little cramped-up sleeping in the dog house, eh? :lmao :stir Me too! :sweet I learned a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNG time ago that the way to keep MY wife happy is to NEVER buy her anything she can wear without her being present. Even THEN my...

    Overheat condition

    We can only hope so. It seems like the last quarter of 2011 was designed to extract money from my bank account and spread it around. Mainly to Volvo to fix my big rig, but some got spread to Ford also. I've been kinda hoping that crap was OVER.

    Overheat condition

    THAT makes sense. First time I've heard it, but it makes sense. Considering what I've noticed since the high idle mod was done, I would say that the PCM and the high idle mod aren't working against each other... they're working WITH each other. Basically, what you're saying is to let the...

    Overheat condition

    I think I'll pay a visit to the parts store I use.... I be they can at least read the codes for me, then I'll come back here and see what they mean! Thanks for the info, Eric!

    Overheat condition

    Nope. Just what I've already mentioned. I don't drive it hard, even when towing that 18k lb beast of a 5'er we have. I've thought about a scan gauge, but just haven't done it. While I think a bunch of gauges would be cool, it also costs money. And the grab handle on the drivers side is...

    Overheat condition

    Actually, I don't remember hearing the fan (I have in the past, while towing, so I do know what it sounds like) when I went out. I suppose there's a slight chance I caught it while the fan was off.

    Overheat condition

    Nope. Only the stock gauges here. New thermostat though.

    Overheat condition

    Hey guys! Some time back I installed the EDAS system being sold by Powerstrokehelp.com. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a pressure monitor for the cooling system that has an audible alarm if the system rises above 16 psi for more than a few minutes. When that was...

    front end vibration

    Semper Fi, jarhead. Part, if not all, of the cause of your problems is the size of the tires. Bigger tires and rims are just simply harder to balance. Bigger tires and rims means more weight being thrown around. If I were you, I'd skip the spin balance and lead weights. Make sure the tires...

    7000 hours 6.0L diesel

    I don't know what kind of math you guys are using.... must be something different than what I'm used to. 130,000 mi / 7000 hrs = 18.57 mph by my calculations. You'd have to reduce the hrs to 4000 in order to get about half of normal highway speed, or 32.5 mph. As Yooper75 has given his...

    Coolant Flush Question

    This is gonna sound strange, I know. A little while back I did a flush on my '05. Since I bought it used, I don't know if the previous owner ever did it. Anywho, I followed the flushing procedures with the following exception. I used an entire gallon of white vinegar with each of 4 cycles of...

    Driving & Towing 5th wheel

    I don't know if I'd rip out ALL the springs. That full air-ride stuff is REAL nice, but it's also expensive. Considering that airing up dually tires is a true PITA without even MORE aftermarket items, I bet you'd like to NOT have to mess with the air pressure every time you aren't towing or...

    Bed Saver for Fifthwheel.

    If you guys would quit your cushy jobs and start driving a semi, you'd know what to do when you hook up to ANY 5'er! LOL Here's what I do: Ensure the trailer wheels are chocked at least in the front, preferably front and back. Ensure the kingpin jaws are lubricated. I use a spray grease that...

    Now I've got time....

    Well, after two additional trips to the dealer (one to return the CJB 'cuz they ordered and handed me the wrong part.... not even close to fitting, and one to pick up the correct part) I figured out the part number "problem". To keep a long story short, the best advice I can give on the...
