I have the braided stainless steel extenders on the rear dullies. They work well. Make sure they use STEEL stems, not rubber, to attach the extenders to. I have never had a problem with them. They were attached to a bracket with a nut. The bracket was attached to the wheel covers via rivet. Made...

I have been contacted by pressure pro and they are ready to market their units for rv trailer pulling. Will get one in the near future.

Is anyone familiar with the Dr. Performance Stage II? Does it work and is there anything special about their "system"? Thanks.

Thanks for info folks!!

On a 1998 12V, what can be expected from turning up the injector pump in regards to increasing power? Will this have any negative effects on anything? Thanks. ***NOTE*** I've moved this thread/question to the second gen 12v forum for better response... Pastor Bob...

Could you please explain what is meant by wastegate actuator turnbuckled? Thanks.

Everything is stock..... manual transmission.

What are the good or bad engine effects of replacing the stock turbo with a larger turbo, removing the wastegate and adding a performance chip? This is on a 1998 24V. I am trying to determine the benefits and risks to the longivity of the engine with the above modifications. Thanks.

mine too...... Mine has been doing the same thing, locking up in 3rd and not shifting up or down. This does not happen all the time. When the smartcontroller is turned off, the t/c locks and unlocks consistently. Bill K. feels it is an electrical issue and has hooked me up with a guy who will...

gauge Thanks for info folks. I have placed a call into Nordskog to their technical support and am expecting a call back. In reponse to some of your questions: With the key on, but not cranking the gauge reads 0. With a bump of the key, but not cranking the engine, the readings start at...

I just installed a digital fuel pressure gauge. On start-up the gauge reads at 0, builds up to 13 or 14 and stays constant at 13 or 14 while the engine is operating. When the engine is turned off, the gauge drops back to 0. I noticed in other postings members noted fuel pressure changes during...

Hi All Does anyone know of a Kelly Bluebook type of book, or other source, that provides a price listing for used medium sized trucks, like Freightliners? I am interested in the RV haulers line of trucks. Thanks.

I have a radio rack setup on my transmission hump. I put velcro on it and attached to the top of the roadrelay. This way I can see the event lights and keep it cooler.

I had the smartcontroller installed this past July. I also had the TC and VB installed at the same time. I believe all these componets are designed to work together, but I have noticed a reduction in the free wheeling characteristics of the factory setup. Now there is a definete "grab" that...

ECM reflashes I took my 98. 5 in about two weeks ago for the TSB 18-08-99 update and when they hooked it up to the ECM, the unit dumped all existing software and would not accept new software. A new ECM had to be ordered and installed. So, there may indeed be a burn up problem for some years.
