    Turbo / Exhaust Brake Problem...

    At first I thought you might have a dirty turbo which would be hindering it from operating and moving properly. But now I think it may just be a wiring issue or in the computer due to it being fully operational in tow/haul mode. Good luck

    Cold Weather Remote Starter Starting Distance

    I highly suggest dumping that crapy stock system you got and get something aftermarket that you can start with your phone!! Unlimited distance boys. And it depends on the installer whether your truck starts off the wait to start light or just a amount of time the grid heater kicks on for. The...

    compound turbochargers?????

    How many miles do you have on your truck? Since your sig indicates you have a stock truck I take it to assume your also not getting very good fuel economy? Could be wrong though...

    compound turbochargers?????

    I would definitely consider a compound setup if I was you. The stock holset Vgt 351 turbo is garbage and its just a matter of time before it grenades not under warranty. And yes your fuel economy will considerably increase if the right setup is chosen. There are setups for towing, drag racing...

    351 VGT Turbo Assistance

    Oh trust me this is my race car and I drive it like I stole it every day. I always drive with my EB on even on sheer ice it actually works very well to slow down. Just be ready to get a little western with it if it engages above 2000 rpms. IMO the turbos are junky to small and should have never...

    351 VGT Turbo Assistance

    I took my 2011 6. 7 to the dealer to have my turbo cleaned as it was under warranty. I don't understand how one can get gummed up with carbon enough to stop working when my truck has been deleted since day one. Anyway. I got the service performed and it didn't last but 100 miles before becoming...

    Noise from turbo area KOEO sounds like motor actuator moving and bad gears.

    You might need to just get your actuator re calibrated at the dealer. But in all honesty start saving your pennies for a fixed vein turbo these 351 vgt's are garbage!!!

    Why are 12 quarts of oil utilized in a Cummins engine?

    You shouldnt have to check your oil ever if you know what your looking at on your oil pressure gauge. I cant speak for HBarlow but hes a smart dude and I bet would send out a sample to a lab every oil change as I do, considering how cheap they are and how informative they can be.

    Why are 12 quarts of oil utilized in a Cummins engine?

    Is there a reason why you fill it to the upper line? I have always been under the understanding that overfilling your engine is equally as bad as underfilling it, due to oil changes that leave some old oil in the engine and that if you were to get some kind of fuel contamintation into your oil...

    front window tint

    @RonD + BobV No need to take it to the tint shop so they can charge you to remove it. Just get a razor and some warm soapy water. Slide the razor under one corner of the tint until the edge pops up enough to grab with your fingers. Then slowly pull tint away from window in a diagnal direction...

    front window tint

    I run 35% on the windshield and front windows and 5% over stock on the back of my standard cab. With the HID head lights theres no problem seeing in any direction at anytime of day or night, and trust me where I live theres plunty of night. Privacy in this country is priceless!

    2012 Mileage thus far SRW 3500 Crew Cab 4x4

    You are very correct. Any object traveling at 75mph has 86% more drag than an object traveling at 55mph. This is partially why you will retain better fuel mileage going somewhat slower if you can control your rpms.

    I just got back from driving up north, Haines - Anchorage Alaska. I was averaging 77mph with a 4000 ft elevation clime and decline over 1600 miles round trip. Had a light load (couple dirt bikes) but did well with my mileage consistently getting 21. 5. I ran my programer in "HOT" mode and had...
