    Trailer Tow Mirror Upgrade

    I got a set for $150 delivered. My 99 had the nontelescopic nonpower tow mirrors and I just wanted the newer ones. I wired them for the lights and heat, but did not bother with the power mirror install. They are GREAT. I have since upgraded to the projection headlights and added the Grille from...

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    The kit from BCD came in today. Took me 45 minutes to get them in. Now there is no leak!! The orings are metric and are thicker then the Danco#90. No one had them locally, so I advise everyone who needs them- just get them from BCD! 100% perfect!!!

    Smellin diesel??

    No, its just a little puddle. If I park the truck on an incline with the nose pointing down, it doesnt leave one. The diesel will stay sitting in the valley. Still I got to fix the leak.

    Smellin diesel??

    I went to all the Home Depots and lowes looking for the Danco #90. None had it. I looked through all the orings I have and only had 1. I am not going to tear into it unless I have both so I just have to wait until the kit I ordered from BCD comes in. I am still ketting 20mpg even though I am...

    Your Fuel Mileage

    I consistently get 20mpg mixed highway and city. I just noticed I have had a diesel leak for a while. I am sure it is gonna be a little more once I get that fixed. Very important thing, I always keep it under 2k rpm even on take off. I know I truck around like a grandpa but its ok.

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    The funny thing is that it is not leaking down the tube right now. It leaks out and sits on top of the motor. Nothing is coming down the tube. Must be the one oring went bad then.

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    I really thought they would be metric. What is the width?? I have orings of that size. I think I should just wait until my kit from bcd comes in.

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    Yeah, I always use grease on orings (assembly lube). But I mean the valve itself.

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    I have been eyebolling this for this past couple of days and it is definitely around the release valve (behind) and not down the tube. I already ordered that kit from bcd because I was told these orings are specific. I have boxes of them, but I dont want to risk it. I am suprised that the valve...

    Fuel Leak -- DOH!!!

    I just noticed that my truck has a fuel leak. It is leaking from around the release valve on the fuel bowl. Do you think the o-ring kit from blackcloud would correct this? All the leaked diesel stays sitting on top of the engine. The leak isnt too bad, but diesel is too expensive to waste even a...

    Odd thought

    That would be true. I never considered that as I only use cruise control on long hauls when I am running around 65.

    Odd thought

    It does. Reson being when going up a hill the cruise control will rev the rpms pretty high to maintain speed whereas you would have to press on the pedal a little more to maintain speed. It has amazed me how much the engine gets reved up when using cc only all my fords. The mustang, explorer...

    Sonnax kit and Valve clips HELP!!!

    I never messed with any electrical connections. Took it to the shop today. Guys hooked the scanner and it did not dump a code. They went through testing the VSS and Solenoids, and everything checked out. They are going to check into it some more and let me know. I'll keep you guys informed.

    Sonnax kit and Valve clips HELP!!!

    If one of the clips fell out, then the valve would come out and not be able to built up pressure to shift. All of the clips seemed loose. The one on the modulator valve seemed homemade, which had me worried. Seems like someone lost the original and made one up. This is why I am aksing where I...
