there were two or three times that i got stuck when i drove a flatbed lumber truck,a ford 4500 series or something like that when the impossible would happen,i would get pulled out by a pickup truck. beyoud all odds and they would deliver. this one story is i had to go down a horseshoe driveway...

i consider reman and rebuilt the same thing. unless it is a new part with a reman sticker placed on it,it is still rebuilt. i worked in a machine shop years ago and i hated to see the remaned ford truck pull up to the door. some people thought if a factory did it ,then it just had to be better...

no kidding. i am starting to get some black smoke if i use the go pedal,but no skipping,and the mpg is good. i am going to keep my eye on the mpg to see . i hate to take anything back unless something is really wrong. the way i see it is the engine passed inspection so if and when it melts...

i think you would like the tst box. from what i have seen,you can just advance the timing or if set high enough blow the turbo or trans right off the truck. the only limit the box has is you.

i agree with flat lick dodge,i have had the same results. the difference i could tell was the dodge will pull better on launch up to 55 mph. from there the duramax will walk away from it. i have a large inclosed trailer that the duramax would pull to speeds that would scare you. the dodge wont...

yea i know its a different result,and i have no problem with that. if you dont try something how are you going to improve?i think its a good idea. every now and then there is always an exception to the rule,it was just my turn. i installed it more than once,using the factory intake and with a...

d. miner,i know what you are saying. the engine did feel better,smoother even. but if you look at your boost at any given rpm,you will find you are useing more. why?my miles per gallon went down. this was because the ecm is putting in more fuel to compensate for more boost. just what its...

ok,i bought one,and these are my thoughts on the subject. the theory is sound,the applacation is impracticle. in order to use it ,you stick it in tube end closest to the turbo. problem one is in order to install it,the unit sits partully(excuse spelling,got a headache)in the curve ,exposing a...

i just decided to rant a little. if you are going to put the pump in a more remote area(the tank),it seems to me you would at least put a pump in there that is more robust.

my pressure is getting lower. with any kind of luck,i will have the first 2005 failure. i can pull the pressure to zero with only half throttle.

does anyone make a fuel cap that will allow a fass system to be installed in a 2005 model?

i have a 2005 ctd and i would like to install this system. there are some here who have done it while leaving the factory pump still installed and working in the system. others have suggested that the in tank pump must come out because it cannot supply the fass with enough volume,causing the...
