    EGR System Questions

    Being from up North and it gets very cold that would make me think that would have something to do with it. I would just pull the wire plug off and be done with it. It may set the light but it will run better .

    6.0 fuel mileage help please

    Sorry to tell you but there is no way these trucks will get good mileage . They are made to tow and they will use alot of fuel doing so. Using programmer to improve mileage won't offset the price of the programmer . If your looking for more HP and more fuel use then the programmer will help you...

    Help Needed Biodiesel blew 3 injectors

    They (the dealer) used bio as an excuse so they could make you pay for it. You don't have much recourse since they only recommend B5 or less . Thats why they do that .

    Trailer brake wiring

    Yes they make a test unit that plugs into the 7way and can test each circuit. Most RV and trailer places use them. They cost to much for a one time use . Does everything else work right ? What about back-up lights ? Sometimes these get crossed with trailer brakes. I just replaced my 7way...

    Trailer brake wiring

    Check the 7 way plug and make sure the wires are in the right spot and you don't have a loose stran of wire touching another terminal. It's real easy to not see if you don't check close. :thumbs I've chase my tail for hours and it ended up being a single stran of wire touching the...

    legal weight

    Thats my point . Can you overload an RV trailer ? Its only so big and can only haul so much NORMAL camping equipment. I suppose you could fill it with lead bars but how many of those could you fit. Thats why RV's don't have a licensing weight. It could be done but in normal RV camping it...

    legal weight

    DOT laws not weight laws. I don't think they would even look for an over weighted RV trailer or if you can overload one. The DOT laws like commerical drivers license,Log book,DOT numbers ,Fuel permits ,Scales and go from state to state. RV plates are not for a certain load like 12k...
