    starting issue

    The batteries were 6 years old and although they initially checked out good on a load test today they proved otherwise. 2 new batteries and she starts like a champ!

    wrapping up pipes and turbo

    While I was surfing around researching pipes and pricing I came across a thread in another forum where it seemed to be recommended to wrap the up pipes and turbo with header wrap with the idea it would aid substantially in turbo spooling and reducing greatly turbo lag. I haven't seen much of...

    Turbo pedestal leak

    What kind of a job are the up pipes, I haven't looked into it much but some dude on another forum was saying it's best to pull the trans out? I'm not crazy about that if it's not really required, any feedback is appreciated.

    Turbo pedestal leak

    Apparently this is a pretty common issue and mine is seeping to the point now that it is actually dripping off the bell housing, which I cannot stand. So I am going to attempt this myself, I watched a youtube video and it looks fairly straightforward but I'm sure there are probably some tips...

    Headlights

    The factory headlights are getting pretty cloudy and to be honest I prefer the look of the newer styles and some of the aftermarket stuff, what would you guys recommend for an upgrade on an 01 SD.

    rear back up camera/radio 01 SD

    I really like the idea of the back up cameras but I also prefer the look of factory parts versus aftermarket, so I'm researching the factory radio/gps units that may have came in the later 250s or excursions. anybody here done this or have info on it?

    Looking at diesels

    New to the forum , long story short I needed a truck to haul a couple horses around and ended up with an 05 KR 150 crew cab with a 5.4, needless to say I settled on this truck but would have rather a 250 SD CC 4x4 diesel but time was short and I needed a truck. Eventually I can see us going from...
