    Injector Question

    Are there any advantages to changing all of the injectors at once? I have a couple that are becoming suspect but would like to just change them unless there is a good, valid reason to change them all.

    Holy Cow!!!

    I just had to replace the top hose on the turbo on my truck. That little jewel was nearly $100. I am in the wrong business.

    Question Harpoon the Fuel Tank?

    I recently purchased a fuel pressure gauge and when I install it I was also considering doing the BB mod. I have been reading about "harpooning" the fuel tank and was wanting input from you guys about the benefit of doing this. Does it provide any benefit other than a faster and less...

    Truck Stopped Puking

    My truck was puking under load so I did a coolant flush. Once the flush was completed and refilled with coolant and water the puking actually got worse for a short time under all conditions. Now it has stopped puking altogether whether driving normally or pulling loads. Can I assume the...

    Question Fuel Filters? FICM?

    I have problem and need the input from my fellow SDD members. I have replaced the fuel filters on my truck three times in the last 5000 miles. The first time was routine maintenance. I changed the filters the same time I replaced my batteries last November. A month ago my father-in-law had...

    Question Filter Material Becoming Brittle

    Has anyone else had a problem with the filter material, in the fuel filter, becoming hard or brittle? Specifically the small filter. I needed to change mine a few days ago and noticed the paper was very hard. Is it the ULSD or did I get a bad filter the last time I changed them? I changed...

    Question Vacuum problem or A/C

    I know I have a vacuum problem since my A/C blows out my defrost vents when I first turn it on. However, my A/C does not cool as well as it should and I was wondering if the two problems are connected or if I just need to charge my A/C and fix my vaccum leak. Sorry I cannot give any more...

    Question Capital Tires???

    Has anyone heard of this brand or used them? I cannot find out much about them. The salesman said they were manufactured in a Goodyear plant but were not a Goodyear or Goodyear offset tire. Price is definitely right if the tires are good.

    Question Post EGR Delete Survey

    I would like to pose a question for all the SDD members that have done the EGR delete. What success and/or problems have you had after the delete? If you had problems can they be tied back to the delete? Also, with the risk of making for long posts, how did you do the delete? In other words...

    Uh-oh

    I was pulling a trailer, with 5 round bales of hay on it, and while pulling up a hill I smelled some antifreeze. No overheating and no smoke. When I got home I checked the coolant bottle and noticed some residue on it and the level was a little low. I know the typical problem is likely the...

    New Exhaust

    Just put on a 4" turbo back exhaust! As important as what is there is what is not there (hint hint). My wife asked why it sounded like a jet engine...exactly what I was hoping to hear. :sly

    Question Center Console

    My center console, on my 2004 F350, is in need of repair (person that owned it before me used it to pull himself into the truck instead of getting steps). Are there any aftermarket consoles that would fit in place of this one? This console is the kind that will fold up into a seat. I have...

    Aero Turbine???

    I talked to a muffler shop about changing my 6.0L's exhaust and he suggested removing the muffler and adding a unit he called the Aero Turbine. He said he had installed one in his brother-in-law's Dodge and it increased the mileage and lowered EGTs. The cost is significantly cheaper than whole...

    Slow Fuel Gauge Response

    I was curious if anyone else had this problem: my fuel gauge is slow to come up to full after I fill up with diesel. It does not occur each time I fill the tank, only occasionally. I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone had some ideas that might cause this.

    Recent '94 Purchase

    My father-in-law recently purchased a used U-Haul truck. It has the 7.3L in it. I was wondering what problems, if any, we should be expect. I have not driven the truck yet but he says it run well. Any "heads up" you guys can give will be appreciated.

    Coolant System Flush

    Just recently flushed my coolant system. Could not believe how nasty the stuff was I flushed out of it. Took me a while to get it all done but the system is filled with distilled water and coolant now. I am going to install a coolant filter pretty quickly.

    Question Vacuum Problem

    I have an 04 F350 4x4. When I put it in 4x4, while running the A/C, the air blows from the defrost vents for a few minutes before returning to the vents. I know this indicates a vacuum problem and I have chacked the lines behind the glove box. I cannot find a problem there so I am looking for...

    Help!!! Truck Down!

    My '04 F350 6.0L fell on its face this evening. It ran fine this morning and was running when I left this evening. I got a mile from the house and the truck quit accelerating. It would idle at ~500 rpm but would respond to the throttle. My wife towed me home (with the truck running) and...

    Question EGR Problems?

    What kind of modifications are likely to affect the EGR? I have been reading some horror stories about EGR problems and would like to avoid them if possible. Also, on a side note when I put my truck into 4wd, especially on the fly, my A/C goes through my defrost for a few minutes and then...
