    Driver lost control down mountain

    Over the many years of lurking in, not only this but other forms, this has to be the best post I have ever read! Facts hurt, most don't want to face em. Seen too many yahoos flying up and down the highways pulling their monster "5ers" some pulling tandem(boats/ATV trailers). Hell even had one...

    Shocks ? Which Ones And Part #'s

    which shock should one go to?... oem or aftermarket. aftermarket shocks one brand better then the other? doubt it. if your into offroading getting air hen you install the correct suspension system ie Carli or Kore etc... these kits usually include new coil springs, leaf springs and (key thing...

    transmission temps?

    Temp probe is in line to cooler, same as always... concern is temps were reasonable before having transmission filter changed, now with the overfill incident and band adjustments, temps have increased by 20-30deg F over?

    transmission temps?

    2 weeks ago had truck in to replace ball joints (warranty) as I had to "leave it for the day ... real busy" I asked to have the transmission filter changed and adjust bands. Well got the truck back later that day, noticed higher temps on transmission with city driving. Normally runs 150 to 170deg F empty...

    falling fuel economy

    With the load you have on the truck and at that speed those would be very normal numbers. I used power from the cigarette lighter and found a good ground under the dash. As for back lighting, go to your headlight switch wiring and using a test light and with lights on, look for the "dash...

    black oil?

    engine oil analysis will tell you lots... ie fuel in oil. hows the oil level... is it climbing up the dipstick? most have real black oil, even shortly after an oil change. mine is always black even with byass oil filter and synthetic.

    Bad injectors?

    since you gotta pull them out to upgrade to 50hp injectors(nozzles/tips) and truck is down. why not pull them send them out to have new nozzles installed the shop will test each injector and will tell you if you need to replace any. could just be that your nozzles are heavily carboned up? 50hp...

    Slow speed squeak. Wheel bearing?

    visually inspect the u-joints, they may still seem "tight" if you can, remove driveshaft to get closer inspection.

    Slow speed squeak. Wheel bearing?

    4x4? if so, could be front drive shaft U-joint

    4x4 or 4x2?

    2WD, if I didn't need 4WD for work, I'd grab a 2WD with training wheels anyday, better mileage and with todays fuel prices, I believe 2WD will fetch better trade-in dollar then a 4X4.

    Hypertech Power Tuner or DiabloSport Predator PowerPuck

    For the money Id go with the Smarty jr. a little cheaper then the Edge EZ (although the EZ is still a good prduct). But if your willing and have the funds to support the habit, go with smarty sr. and be prepared to spend tons to up grade engine and transmission to go with the smarty sr. pros to...

    Rear Rotor Removal

    you'll need to "slack" off parking brake "shoes" just like the old drums, and also may have some of those annoying clips/washers on the wheel studs that have to be removed (I didn't put them back on after I did mine)

    Another Common Rail injector story

    Working in the oil patch I've come across a number of ex-DC diesel techs, who have switched over to heavyduty. All of them have stated the "cylinder drop test" proves nothing and is a waste of time. DC engineers determine the schedule for trouble shooting, and for any of the dealers to be paid...
