I too have a 2008 that had been surging pretty regularly up and until I took a 16 hour highway trip. Since that trip I have not had one problem with surging. The higher temps and long boost intervals climbing hills must have burned/blown the gunk out of the turbo. Anyway- its been several weeks...

Yes it is normal. it is an oil vapor trap. It captures the oil vapors and when enough is accumulated it it begins to drip back out and returns to the engine. On my old 5.9L there was a little bottle external to the engine block that had a tiny filter of sorts in it and the drips were collected...

Any chance your shocks fit a 2008 6.7L 4x4 ? I live in San Diego. -- email address removed --

Okay here goes my 2 cents. I had Stage III injectors (100 HP) on my truck with boost fooler. Those alone made for a wicked ride but... I could not leave enough alone. I bought a SuperChips unit and set it for PERFORMANCE mode ( 70 HP additional and another 140 lb ft torque). That was...

I probably use around a quart in 6000 miles, probably a little less. I have 94K miles. Out here in CA and I run the gammet on temperatures. My usage doesn't seem to change with load or speed.

I believe that the most probable suggestion has already been offered, a stuck waste gate. I couldn't help but wonder. Might a boost fooler restrictor elbow still be installed on the intake. That would allow you to get more boost BEFORE the waste gate could activate. I would take out the...

I wait about 20 seconds at 55 degrees so 15 seconds sounds normal. The heaters draw 100 Amps max. not 200.

I got the same codes on my '01 at 11K miles. I had DC replace the Oil pressure sensor and have been trouble free for the last 94K miles.

I installed an Airsep at 93K miles. There is a dealer in California. The cost is ~ $350. 00 but I feel that it is well worth. I finally have a clean engine again. Here is a link to their page: http://www.walkerairsep.com/graphics/logo_small.gif They are in Sun Valley California and are...

I just went from 3. 54 to 4. 10. If someone wants to pay me $350 plus shipping I will send my ring/pinion with 91657 miles on it plus the carrier (case). To change from a 3. 54 to a 4. 10 you must change the case on a Dana 80, I am not sure if you must change it back to go down. Some of the web...

Dukenrock, How do you like your new ring & pinion? I am thinking about changing my 3. 54 to 4. 1. I am not decided on whether to get a 3. 73 or 4. 1, I really need my RPMs to come up to keep the engine in the power band. R, Andy

I have Westach and have been happy with them. I have a dual boost/EGT gauge and a single fuel mounted in a dual pillar mount. Looks good without being to much. If I were to do it again, I would change my 0-15 psi fuel gauge. to a 0-30 psi gauge. My truck almost always put the needle at 15 psi...

MY DC tech manuals says don't mess with the air filter until the F. minder says it is dirty... . With that said I have replaced it 4 times in 80K miles without the minder ever indicating anything. I think the Filter Minder and Forest Gump come from the same genetic stock.

I looked into this... Pro-Gear in San Diego told me that it would cost about $450 for the gears and software and another $400 to install everything. I have a Dana 80 with 3. 54 gear. I decided to use 3rd and 4th more and to push deeper into the RPM band and save my money. I do more driving...

mike r: Like I said you judgement has been fogged: Not only do I have the minimal skills that you mention but I do have a CDL. Thank you for you inputs. Highlight my name in the Travel Companion so if you ever come to SOCAL I can come to your assistance. Have a Great Weekend.

mikeR: Perhaps if you had been sitting in my passenger seat when " going up a very steep hill in second, the torque twist on my chassis lifted my left front tire off the ground" you would probably believe that the drive shaft could break. I see that you are from PA so maybe all those toll...

I did have my truck create a fog bank of its own once. The temperature was -17 degrees F and my injectors were Stage III DD. Once the truck got warm it stopped smoking. I have not had my truck down to that temperature since nor has my truck smoked since.

I have been plagued by air in my lines and I get similar readings. What I do to temparily fix it is. . I hang my pressure sensor as low as possible in my engine compartment for about 5 minutes. This get the air out of my line and then my sensor works fine for about 3 months. Then I repeat. I...

It all depends on your DC relationship. I have a great relationship with mine. I have even copied procedures for them to follow from the WWW when they work on my truck. My first response to your question was " do you want to worry about you warranty or be stuck in the middle of Tim Buch Two...

I would suspect the intake preheater. The other suggestions sound fine except that the problem goes away. Low compression sounded good till you metioned the problem clears. Low compression, even with ring expansion due to heat transfer, would still leave you with tell tale smoke. Does you...
