    VIN Check??

    Does anyone do VIN checks or know where to get one? I am looking at a truck for potential purchase and wondered where to look up its history. Any help would be appreciated.

    big fuel leak!!!

    Just got off the phone with my friend and he said that the valley was dry. He also said that it has almost completely stopped leaking which makes me think that the water seperater may have been open a bit and was leaking under pressure when the truck was shut off. Thanks for the info! Shawn

    big fuel leak!!!

    My buddy's '00 has a bad fuel leak. It appears to be concentrated on the passenger side. He said it will dump about a quart of fuel after shut down. He is going on a long trip tomorrow and needs his rig. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!!:thanks

    Towing with a power adder

    As stated before, get air before you introduce fuel!! Exhaust, intake, guages, tuner in that order. Call Jody at DP Tuner if you go with an SCT. He has many options and can custom build a tow tune for you. You won't be sorry. Shawn

    2006 F350 4x4 Camper Package.

    Hey Maxtor, I'm not sure of the measured height, but I'm only 5'5" on a good day and I am about eye level with the top of the tailgate. Most all of my friends have lifted trucks and all of them have done a spring over on their trailers with nary an issue. Worst case you may have to drop your...

    2006 F350 4x4 Camper Package.

    Hey Maxtor, It sounds like you are running about a six inch lift, otherwise you wouldn't have blocks, you'd have springs only. My truck had an 8" lift and it lined up perfectly with my 5er. I had tha axels flopped and it fit like it was meant to be!! What size lift and tire are you running...

    Lifting block kit ?

    Depending on the size of the lift you want you may also need add-a-leafs with the blocks. Stock blocks are 3.5", so if you are going to a 4" lift you would only need a 2" add-a-leaf. What ever you do remember, NEVER EVER stack blocks! Also, beware of 4Wheel Parts as they employ less than...

    Whats the best airfilter kit?

    The biggest gain you will get is in the form of lower EGT's The open style box will get more air volume into the motor. :sweet

    Thinking of going to the "dark side"

    I think Dave is right. It seems as though it must be an air issue due to the fact that it only seems to act up when there is a significant change in altitude. My Duramax goes back to the dealer this Friday on a Lemon Law that took 6 months to handle. My '05 Dodge blew a transmission and an...

    TO CAT.....OR NOT TO CAT

    So, other than the sound, it would seem that there is no difference in performance or temps. I suppose it would be easy to just leave it in and if I don't like the sound, take it out. Thanks for your input guys. And I have never seen a hippy with the name Hoss!!:roflmao Hey Brent, on a side...

    TO CAT.....OR NOT TO CAT

    I've heard tell that some people noticed no difference whatsoever when they ran their truck with or without the cat in place. My concern is if leaving my cat in place, will I suffer higher egt's? Will my hp/tq numbers decrease? I have a 5" exhaust system that allows me the ability to remove...

    Banjo Who????

    I have heard and read about a mod referred to as the "Banjo bolt Mod". Could someone give me an idea as to what this is and what benefits it may bring. Thanks, Shawn

    Methanol Injection?

    Mix it conservatively, like 65/35 H2o to Methanol, and you should be okay. Provided your timing is correct. These additions all require that the variables be in order! If you are looking for safer gains you may want to explore some different types of mods. Banks is a bit on the...

    Adjustable Pedals

    Are you able to fit the adjustable pedals in a truck that did not come with them from the factory? My '02 has the little cut out where the switch would go. Wondering about wiring, pedal assy. etc.:thanks

    Edge Platinum VS. SCT

    Teamroper, Beware!!! You may have already done in that Torqueshift! I had the same setup as you in my '04 and killed two trannys! If you add any amount of power to the 6.0 it will eventually puke your trans. This is not an opinion it is a proven fact. The guts in a TS trans cannot handle any...

    Edge and Manual Tranny

    Trapper, I have had the edge w/att. on 2 6.0 trucks. While they are a good product I would strongly reccommend that you take a look at the SCT Xcalibrator II. There is a lot more bang for your buck and are proven to have better results than any tuner out on the market for the 6.0. You will...

    Fifth wheel conversion?

    Thanks for the info WD40. I checked out the link and I'm going to call them tomorrow for pricing. That set up looks a lot more stable than converting the kingpin to a gooseneck. :thumbs

    Fifth wheel conversion?

    I recently picked up a used PSD that already had a hide a ball gooseneck in it. It was suggested that I get a fifth wheel adapter to accomodate the goose. My question is; how do they tow? Are they safe considering side to side movement. My FW is 40' long and weighs in at 15500# loaded. Any one...
