    Crankcase breather catch can?

    Oh yeah... I knew what Wingate meant by "making oil" and I pray that never happens. My last 06 never had a drip either but the front diff was always oily so now I guess I know why. We extended the tube a bit. Hopefully it puts that little bit of oil on the road instead of the front of my...

    Crankcase breather catch can?

    Wingate... the oil level remains constant. Not making it and I don't think I am losing all that much through the breather. I hate a leaky vehicle and the oil fumes stink sometimes.

    Crankcase breather catch can?

    I am finding a small amount of oil (black and sooty so I know what it is) coming from the crankcase breather tube. It seems to drip and then go without dripping for a while. When the truck is hot... like when I am towing... I will notice a slight oil smell when walking around the truck. Anyway...

    Which Trans and why?

    When you talk to Dave Riccio, tell him you were referred by Jeff with the white Mega. He'll know. This shop does alot of the little things right. He replaced my rear main seal on the engine for me when they rebuilt the transmission. It has since started to leak and he said bring it back in and we will...

    Which Trans and why?

    I just had my 06 rebuilt by Tricity Transmission in Tempe... just south of the Tempe Marketplace. I had them build me their Toyhauler Transmission. Ask for Dave and he will treat you right. They have allways stood up and backed their work no matter what. They have been doing our trannies for...

    5th wheel help

    I recognize the fact I am no engineer, but I still don't understand the "cheater bar" example if the trailer is not any farther from the truck than it was before. The actual distance from the pinbox to the bed is the same as with my 5er hitch. Yeah, I undertand the method of attachment is...

    Tired of this......

    I just have seen too many 6. 0L Powerstrokes have issues and too many Chevys fall apart to think that one brand is devoid of problems. They all have issues. My cousin just lost one of the steering linkages in his 06 Duramax while in a parking lot! What if that had happened on the freeway...

    5th wheel help

    Harvey... . I have heard none of this except for the thread here. When I Google the GN adapters, most of the responses are "Love em and been using them for years". You would think there would be some type of warning out there or something with regard to their use. Not saying your point isn't...

    EGT question ?????

    Even if you go pre-turbo, the exact location makes for some interesting differences. I my last truck, I had the EGT probe at the accumulator manifold right before the turbo... I thought it would give me a good sampling of the EGT right before the turbo. Now in my current 06, we put it in the...

    5th wheel help

    Jelag..... mine is a PopUp Industries RV2. It only gives 9 inches of offset but is still enough for the trailer to clear my cab for most any turn. I love it and I also bought an Eye Ball remote camera that helps me hook up on the first try. Very cool little gaget as it is cordless and I set it...

    Harvey... . No offense taken!:D I love hearing your history and those of all the others on this forum... good or bad. I lean from each one.

    5th wheel help

    Rusty thanks for the info. We'll see what happens and I hope it holds together. Maybe I should have the pinbox attachment point on the frame reinforced?

    Geez Rusty... . I hope I don't either! Seems pretty strong to me.

    5th wheel help

    I have a shortbed on my Megacab and so I needed an offset hitch to allow clearance to keep the front end of my 5er away from my cab. I have the BW hitch setup and then bought an RV 2 gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter. I bolted it to my 5th wheel's pinbox and I just towed with it last weekend for...

    Tired of this......

    Well... on a brighter note... . diesel came down to $3. 99/gal yesterday and regular unleaded went up to $3. 99/gal so I don't know what's going on but I like that dynamic! I remember back in 06 when I bought my last truck, diesel was so cheap I felt like I was cheating somehow by driving this...

    Megacab Headrest sleeve removal

    Yes... the rear headrest sleeves on a 60/40 bench in the MegaCab have different sleeves. One has the locking mechanism on it that I assume you are referring to in your previous posts, and then the other sleeve does not have the locking mechanism. How do you remove the non-locking sleeve?

    Megacab Headrest sleeve removal

    Could you please elaborate? We tried everything and even broke a couple apart to see what the hangup was and couldn't figure it out. Maybe we are THAT stupid?

    Megacab Headrest sleeve removal

    Okay... really stupid question but HOW DO YOU REMOVE THE HEADREST SLEEVES FORM THE REAR SEATS??? We were installing my new leather upholstery and we can't seem to get the sleeves to come out of the rear seats! The front sleeves just pulled straight out but the rear sleeves are different. We...
