Max Brake is truly an awesome brake controler. I only have about 1,000 miles towing my Hitch Hiker II but the controller does an awesome job, instant on as soon as you touch your brakes, no lag and very smooth. The only thing I have come to dislike a bit is the mounting bracket that holds the...

Engine was cold. I just have never seen it less than full. Thanks fellas.

I changed my oil and filter the other day and when I spun off the old oil filter I noticed it was only half full. I have never seen that before. Any ideas why?

I have a Silverline exhaust which I purchased thru Geno's. Quality seems very good and all the pipe hangers fit the stock locations on the truck. It is a bit loud for my taste and it does have a irritating drone inside the cab. I got rid of the stock resonator when I installed it, maybe I should...

I don't have a lot of towing miles like a lot of guys on this website, but I do like my B&W turnover ball and companion 5th wheel hitch. It may be a bit more money than some, but for me it was worth it. Check it out. B & W Trailer Hitches

How and why would the 14 cm housing be hurting me? Is it too big and doesn't spool up or is it too small and presents to much flow restriction? I have only made one trip up the hills, so I don't remember exactly what the boost was. I do recall thinking it should be a lot more since the turbo...

Harvey, I try to stay below 1200 by proper position of my right foot. I consider 1350 high.

Bob, here is some more info. Rear diff 4. 10. Total weight 20,500 lbs. My EGT's towing up a 7% grade would excedd 1350 if I didn't back down. I do turn off the overdrive uphill and even at 50 mph I still run hot. I was under the impression my turbo is a good towing turbo, I installed a...

I run high EGT's with my fiver in tow uphill unless I slow down to an intolerable speed. I still have the stock airbox, but use a washable AFE Proguard 7 oilable intake filter. I read that the stock airbox is good to 500 HP and I don't think I am anywhere near that. Any ideas/opinions on what I...

Ahh, so it does show absolute pressure. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

I have not read any of the replies to your question yet, but the answer is there are several excellent transmissions available and they are all probably about the same money. Not listed in any specific order based on quality are: ATS, Suncoast, Goerend, DTT There are probably a few more...

At 20 psi boost it will read 20 psi not 34. 7. The term psi really means psig or pounds per square inch gauge and is relative to atmospheric pressure. So 14. 7 psia will show 0 psig on a pressure gauge calibrated for psig. PSIA is pounds per square inch absolute, which means pressure measured on...

There have been many posts about the location of the sensor/instrument for the transmission oil temperature. Not trying to start any arguments here, but to me it makes the most sense to use thermocouple in the pan to indicate bulk fluid temperature. This is the oil the pump takes a suction on...

Thanks Superdawg.

I like my gauges. I have EGT, transmission temp with probe in pan, and 0-60 psi boost gauge. I also have a rear differential gauge. I would recommend you consider a dimmer to wire in series with the power wire if you buy gauges backlit by LED's. I have Autometer LED gauges and they are bright...
