Hi guys. Did a search and don't find definite answer. Is it safe to pump out trans fluid in neutral with return line loose? I'm going to use +4 Trans fluid. I'm putting a Goerend pan on with drain plug. I can't afford to mess this up. Opinions please.

Hi guys the truck's running. The fuel pump had died. It was the original. I sent it to the shop because my current health condition makes me too weak to do it myself. But after a week it wasn't ready yet. I got the relocation kit with DDRP pump. Turns out the tech. had never done one before and...

Complete front bumper with mounting brackets. It's rusty. You can paint the chrome with bedliner. I'm not looking to get into a bunch of shipping. I live in Inglewood,Ca. 90302. Make me a reasonable offer, meet me and buy it. Also I'm looking for an 8 foot camper shell. No side windows. If I...

no fuel pressure When I started the truck for the cold start today 0 fuel pressure. Shut down and I'm gonna put a pump in it. Will check all circuits and performance with new pump. Going to relocate pump to rear while I'm doing it. Funny on the first start of the day the pressure never even...

I have an Edge Juice w/Attitude in my truck so I have gauges and fuel pressure is a strong 13/14 at light throttle and about 5/8 under acceleration. When we installed the new APPS we calibrated per instructions but we'll go back and check as you suggest. Thank you

Hi guys. Very recenyly I had to replace my APPS module on 01.5. Not 48 hours later I get the po230. I need to get my smog cert. I'm in California. I have a juice with attitude but cannot clear this code. Is it time for a fresh fuel pump? After The new APPS the truck runs sweet in first qtr...

My 01 did it too. I came close to a rear main sea luntil I took the dust cover off the trans and there was no oil in it. i traced oil trail from rear lower corner of side cover to problem. The scariest part was this was my first important repair to my first diesel. the fear of hearing that...

I ordered from them about a year ago and got what I needed. As of now I really don't know.

I just did the Heater Treater on my truck. If you read the instructions closely they say watch out for flipping the motor. So your unit is working backwards. I marked mine with a marker when I took it apart. It's an easy mistake to make. Hope this helps.

Here's a company that makes cables and you can get those mil.-spec. battery terminals for even less than McMaster Carr. He's also got the ring terminals and large shrink sleeve. You can build your own or have them do it and ship it out. Just another source...

Oooohhhhh and don't we know how it feels to get STIFFED in Kaliforni!!! Sacramento says JUST SHUT UP AND PAY!!!!

YEP! Something similar happened to me. I didn't put enough miles on the truck after switching my Edge CTS back to stock setting. I put a 100 plus miles on it and it passed. Your computer records a certain amount of history. Much of it emissions related. If it hasn't recorded enough data you fail...

Man! That's extra scarey on the front wheel. Reminds me of when my friend had his oil changed at the "national lube store" and the next morning on the way to work one block from home the oil filter fell clean off and hit the street!!! I change my oil myself, thank you very much.

Hey VolsFan. I really thought my rear main was leaking too. I even bought a rear main seal. My truck is an auto and I took the inspection cover off and it was dry underneath. Closer inspection revealed the tappet cover leaking at the lower rear-most corner of the tappet cover. It was running...

You learn something new every day. Thank you sir. Long live TDR!
