    Independent in Denver

    Hi, Could anyone please recommend an independent mechanic in Denver? I'd like to get the front end rebuilt. Axle u-Joints, ball joints, seals (though, none are leaking at this time), and the like. I'd greatly appreciate any referrals.

    Transmission pressure

    Hi, I'm in the process of assembling a transmission oil external spin-on filter system. I've done the research and found most of the parts I need. I say "most", because I'm down to the last part and I'm stumped. The spin-on filter base I'm looking at comes with either a 25PSI or a 50PSI...

    What is it

    With some of these aftermarket companies? I've been trying to reach Spartan Diesel for a week now! Both by phone and e-mail. I understand those two guys might be busy and that it's a small company, yadda yadda yadda, but damn! (I can say "damn", right? Not gonna offend the bible...

    Well... I took the plunge

    I sent a deposit to hold this truck till I go pick it up. I've got a ticket to fly out tomorrow, so I'll be picking it up on the 24th. 450 Lariat, loaded. No sunroof though. But for the price, I'm not overly depressed over the lack of a sunroof. I'm picking it up in Atlanta (well, a...

    This is different...

    Yesterday, I decided to take my Hitchhiker to Colorado and store it at a friend of mine's place for the winter. The camper is 34.5', and it tips the scales at around 12.9K with all the junk in it. For the trip, I decided to plug my LiveLink software I use for my Hot Rod, just to see what...

    Question Why is it...

    That 06-07 F-450 and F-550 Loaded (KR or Lariat) crew cabs are so hard to find in a manual transmission configuration? I've scoured the net (e-bay, autotrader, etc), and I can't find any 6 speed trucks. Are Crew cab Lariat (or KR) 4x4 F-450 and F-550 trucks with 6 speed trannies so...

    6.0 a'going.

    Hi, Anyone here do a swap from a 6.0 to a Cummins? Which would be the easier way to go when pulling the motor? Up, or removing the grille, bumber, and radiator/cooler supports? I'm thinking the latter would make it easier for the swap. My machinist has a fresh rebuild (New rods...

    ICP Sensor

    If I EVER meet the International engineer who decided it would be a good idea to put the ICP sensor under the turbo on the 03 models, I will kick him square in the cajones. /rant.

    Interesting observation

    For the last week or so, our ambient temperatures have been slowly climbing into the low 90's...and so has my tranny temp gauge. Yesterday, I noticed my transmission gauge flashing at me. It climbed past the set warning point I have of 180F. I pulled over, popped thehood, and checked the...

    Quick Question if I may...

    A long time ago, I remember reading that a 6L variant is sold by international under another name for their... medium? duty trucks. Could anyone PLEASE point me to the right engine model? Thanks much.

    Attn: Truck drivers

    Or anyone else that might know... Due to the 90% of the offroading my truck sees i cannot keep the rear license plate bulbs working for more than a couple of weeks before they burn out. Now, with that said, I've seen these really bright bluish (I assume LED) license plate lights on a lot...

    Silly Question

    I know that after replacing most suspension components, such as bushings for example, you need a fresh alignment. What I can't remember is if an alignment is necessary after replacing only the shocks. Common sense tells me "No, an alignment is not necessary, stupid!", but it's been wrong a...

    Ok guys, shock time

    Fuel pressure woes

    I've done a search for the problem, but I don't think I've found anything. My 03 (6 liter for those of you who don't realize this is in the 6Liter thread :p ), started pushing over 150psi worth of fuel pressure. My Gauge only goes to 150SPI and it's over ranging it. Typically, it sits at...

    Evans Coolant

    I put Evans coolant in my truck a few months ago, but I haven't really had the chance to "really" test it out under towing conditions until today. I hauled my Lincoln from Wy to Phoenix, Az. 4000Lb car plus a 2000lb bumper pull. I hate bumper pulls, but all the shorter Goosenecks are being...

    Hours Question

    nowadays, I seem to be runnin my 03 about 14 hours a day. About 1-2 hours is actual driving, and the rest is idling at fast idle via the PTO option. I got to wondering just how many hours a powerstroke can be run on fast idle before having to change the oil. Is there any data on this...

    Block drains

    Do you guys (and gals) know if the 03 6 liters have more than one block drain? I know of the one on the driver's side, as that's where I have my water gauge tapped. I would like to drain ALL of the coolant and flush it. Input is appreciated, thanks.
