Behind the seats of my '18 Regular Cab is a plastic storage tray which runs the width of the cab. I'm considering mounting a secure storage container to the center of that tray, and bolting it through to the frame underneath. Just wanted to know if there are any electrical wires, etc...

So after the "4th Gen Thoughts" thread and the continuing problems with my '01 I'm seriously considering purchase of a lightly-used 2018. Went to a couple of online sites and found a candidate within an hour or so of me. Also looked at the buyer's service website through my bank and found what...

:mad: Dealing with a bit of a mess here and need some advice on how to fix. Stopped to refuel the fuel tank with about 28 gallons, then drove three miles and parked. Several hours later, I went to start back up and had the "Water in Fuel" light, so I drained the fuel filter canister. Got about...

As the title says, I'm looking for a specific type of stool for the shop, but not having much luck. Some years ago, I remember one of the shops had a stool with both solid metal feet (I think four of them) and casters. The stool had springs so that the solid feet only touched the shop floor...

Howdy all. I drained the fuel filter canister prior to changing the filter the other day, and noticed later that the drain valve was still dripping. Usually that just means that I need to flick the lever a couple of times to get a good seal, but it didn't seem to do the job this time; still...

Gents: Got into a discussion today regarding the "normal" readings for boost and idle for an '01 CTD with AT. Can't seem to find any references in my Haynes manual. Appreciate some help with the three questions below. 1. What is considered "normal" idle in Neutral? 2. What is considered...

Need some help troubleshooting a problem with heavier than normal black smoke. My truck is an ’01 with mods as shown in the profile. About a month ago, I was operating at 8000’ elevation, no trailer, light load (maybe 500 lbs in the bed). SMARTY was set to Catcher #5. Turned on the PacBrake to...

Guys, I need some help on diagnosing the cause of my truck’s overheating problem. The truck is an ’01 with AT and mods as shown in the profile. I’ve been having an overheating problem (transmission and engine) in heavy traffic (stop-and-go or < 10mph). It was almost due for a coolant change...

I recently learned that ISSPRO has an upgrade for certain models of their EV2 electronic fuel pressure guage, whereby it can be programmed to illuminate if the pressure drops to a pre-set level. I'm usually not a fan of idiot-lights, but this would seem to be a useful feature, by providing...

Need opinions on what tailgate lock to purchase. I've had a Pop-N-Lock on the truck for a good ten years now, but it's just worn out (the cylinder and the mounting bracket) and time to replace it. I noticed that Geno's now carries a lock made by Bully, and it's about 1/2 the price of a new...

I need some help finding a small part. On the vehicle exterior, just under the windshield, is the air intake for the truck's heater and ventilation. There are four black plastic fasteners on the plastic air intake. The flanges are about 3/4" across and fasten with a #25 star (torx) driver. I...

Need some feedback from those of you who have the new PacBrake compressor on your 2nd Gen CTD. Specifically, I would like to know where you mounted the compressor. For those who used the new mounting location at the battery tray, have you had any problems with that setup? Some background: my...

Need to figure out what to do about a FASS DDRP pump failure. Background: Truck was running fine this evening, then suddenly the fuel pressure gauge went to "zero psi" and the engine started to shudder. Managed to get it into a parking lot, coasting in as the engine died. Engine would not...

Looking to purchase a propane generator as standby to run selected circuits in the shop and the house during a prolonged power outage or natural disaster. Plz note that I am only considering propane generators for this particular application. Currently, I'm considering Generac or Kohler...

Two part question here, about cleaning the "crud' out of fuel containers. Part 1: Had two pristine fuel cans which I left with an old friend while on a yearlong overseas jaunt with Uncle Sam. Got them back and tossed them in the shed, where they sat until I needed them earlier today. Long...

Not sure why it didn't work; and I dang sure don't know what got it working again. Had something odd happen tonight after a filter change. I’ve got the FASS DDRP-02 on the truck, and tonight after changing the fuel filter and the pre-filter, I went to bump-start the pump and expel the air in...

Well, the cruise control went out today, and when I went under the hood, I found that the vacuum line to the controller was very brittle and had broken. Anybody know what diameter line I need to fix this? It appears to be about a yard long. Something that I can purchase at a parts store or...

Maybe one of you can help me sort out this issue. What should the reading be on the FASS 95 pump? How steady should that reading be? Background: I have the FASS 95 (16 psi transfer pump) installed on my truck. The pressure reading started getting flaky awhile back (needle bouncing all over...

Geno's billet fuel filter cap Have a question about the billet fuel filter cap from Geno's. I noticed that the filters are quite a bit more difficult to insert than they were with the factory plastic cap. It seems that they don't go in straight and it takes awhile to get them properly seated...

OK, so here’s the scenario: Driving the ’01 CTD back from work last night with the fuel pressure at 15-16psi. Floored it one time to get across a busy intersection. All is well. About five miles up the road, I glanced over to the gauge which is now reading ~2psi. Narrow country road with no...
