    Coolant Temp sender/gauge question

    I run with a coolant temperature. My understanding is that the computer sets the gauge reading. I have gone to above 240 degrees and my stock gauge never went above 1/2.

    Question Best programmer

    I have a PHP chip with the 65 hp towing and 80 hp daily driver and 1200 rpm calibrations. The 80hp raised my freeway MPG by 3 mpg. I went from 14.5 to 17.5 mpg. It feels like a gas truck when I punch it. Before I bought it I called and talked to, I think it was Cody, about what I needed and what...

    Coolant service intervals

    NPG+ coolant I have been using the NPG+ for three years. I like it. It runs at 210 F with ZERO pressure. Smells odd, changes colors after a while to a dark brown, but works great.:thumbs

    coolant question

    There is another way. You can use Evans NPG+. It's not cheap but you never have to replace it. No more SCA's no worries about cavitation. I have been using it for 5 years. I love it. I put electric fans on my truck and had them stop working while in the mountains towing a 10' trailer filled with...

    Power steering hissing

    How's the fluid level? If it's low you have a air in the system. It requires that a vacuum of about 2-3 inches be placed on the power steering pump, to remove the air in the system. You need to let the truck idle while keeping the vacuum. It takes about 5-10 minutes. Hope this helps.

    Coming from a GM Bose to the SuperDuty... Disapointing

    I have the pioneer speakers in my truck. They sound good for mids and highs. I have a kicker 10" behind the backseat with a 300 watt amp. Make a very good bass sound.
