    08 Manual or Automatic

    It corks the exhaust, so it is--indeed--an exhaust brake. Just one that operates differently than what most are used to... .

    speedo error

    My speedometer reads 2 mph fast @ highway speeds, always. Stock tires, stock gears, etc. The odometer is accurate, so I'm hesitant to change the settings to fix the speedo and mess up the odometer... . Anyone know how to get the cluster out, thinking I'll just reposition the needle on the...

    Front axle shaft u-joint lube?

    My 6. 7 Auto has the 'fitting', but I'll be damned if it'll take any grease. I've used needles, and even bend a few trying to get them in there where it'll take grease. No luck. And it's ******* me off, can't imagine what I'm missing.

    Any 68RFE trans problems or dislikes?

    I had a NV5600 before in my '04. 5... I much prefer the 68RFE myself. Only sometimes in the really slick weather do I miss the stick. Overall I'm thrilled and I won't go back. Granted my 5600 shifted like absolute crap vs. a friend's that shifted great and a G56 is again completely...

    What do you think about 08 6.7's?

    The light load switch is for the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system). If you it's off and your trying to run the low unloaded pressures, which I never do, you'll get a TPMS warning.

    help on dpf delete information

    I'm having a hard time sifting through all this DPF delete stuff and was wondering if I could get some basic questions answered. It seems there are a few different kits from different folks. Do they all get rid of the DPF only? Do they dump the cat too? How does installation vary? It...

    '08 SRW, 4x4, 68RFE fuel mileage poll

    This is interesting to say the least. I did buy an '08. First tank wasn't good. Showed 16. 2, got 14. 5. But I don't know how full it was when I got it from the dealer. Very possible I squeezed in more than they did and it skewed the readings some (it also wasn't empty only took about 14. 5...

    '08 SRW, 4x4, 68RFE fuel mileage poll

    I bit the bullet (hopefully I won't want to load in a gun and shoot myself with it) and traded my 04. 5 for an 08. Only drove it home from the dealer. Overhead came up from 11 to 15. 9 on the trip. I know they aren't accurate, but I hope it's close. Only 91 miles on it so far, and the tires were...

    Injury with Catalyst full, time to give back

    Has anyone seen pictures of the skies around industrial centers from the late 1800's and early 1900's? Even into the 1950's? Pollution isn't a myth, and it's better now than it was then even with many more people and cars and trucks, and houses, and powerplants. But it isn't good, and it...

    '08 SRW, 4x4, 68RFE fuel mileage poll

    The combined mileages are making me feel a little better. Thanks for the responses. If you have more, please post up, the more info the better!

    Injury with Catalyst full, time to give back

    Not a city driver. About 15 minutes to and from work (does get to temp) on country roads, and while I do drive it to work sometimes, it'd mostly be used for trips towing a car on a open trailer. Have a car I usually daily drive most of the time. So, are we saying that we don't have a lot of...

    '08 SRW, 4x4, 68RFE fuel mileage poll

    Hmm... that's not what I wanted to hear (betting not what you wanted to see either). Do you mind if I ask what you get in your '06? It has similar mods to my 04. 5 and I'm thinking I can get some comparison on driving style. What gears do you have?

    Need a little help please. Trade my 04.5 for an '08?

    A great data point. I've never been out there, but I seem to recall that the trip you took wasn't flat! I get around 19 in my 600, I could live with 17+, I guess. 15 empty wouldn't make me happy, my 6. 0 Chevy w/4. 10's got that. It seems that most problems are with 07, early 07. 5's. Of...

    Need a little help please. Trade my 04.5 for an '08?

    I appreciate your response, and it's a encouraging, as have a few others. I'm just reading and reading of problem after problem with dead trucks and it's got me nervous, as well as the mileage. I asked about starting a poll (don't know how exactly to do that) regarding mileage. But a few of...

    '08 SRW, 4x4, 68RFE fuel mileage poll

    I have to say the information here is well worth the $35! I'm sure it's been asked about 500 times over, but I can't really seem to find much data about actual over the road, empty mileage for the truck I'm thinking of, so I thought a poll might be of use. Trouble is I don't know how to...

    Injury with Catalyst full, time to give back

    I'm thinking of trading my current truck on an '08. Can anyone enlighten me about what the "change in driving habits for 45 minutes" type statement on that tag means???????? I'd look for myself, but don't have an '08 Owner's manual, and I'm really wondering what they want. Run around...

    Need a little help please. Trade my 04.5 for an '08?

    I guess this is where things are confusing for me. I recall some horror stories very similar to these with the 600's. I, nor any of the 3 friend who subsequently bought them because mine was so good had those issues. I know there are "bad eggs". I'm just trying to get a sense of how common...

    oil pressure sender dead... How much, and where is it?

    I'm sure it's not fuel in the oil. Mileage is fine, and it did it some 10 minutes after an oil change w/Premium Blue (as well as before that, and since). Been on and off for about a year now actually. I appreciate the help on locating the switch. Thank you!!!!

    oil pressure sender dead... How much, and where is it?

    My bad... didn't think about the sig (or lack of one)... . It's a 04. 5 600. :) Sender, switch, I don't know on this thing. It has pressure all the time driving or when stone cold at idle. Only acts up when warm @ or close to idle. I know there is pressure becaue the load doesn't even go up...

    oil pressure sender dead... How much, and where is it?

    Subject line says it all. I have a junk sender that I need to change (or have changed). Where the hell is it? How much is a new one? My local dealer has done a great job of blowing me off about this... . Thank you for any help you can pass along.
