More Diesel Power exposure
Take a look at their message boards. There's a category for GM 6.2/6.5, Duramax, Power Stroke and Cummins (listed in that order) - NO 6.9/7.3 IDI category :puke: I think there's a bit of GM bias over there - even in the magazine. The GM 6.2/6.5s get a lot more exposure even though our...- Mojave Red

3 and 4 row radiator fun
Hey Travis Where/how do I get one of those? I going to hold on to my truck for a while and cooling is the last major issue I have to deal with. I'd like to never see the high side of 220 again - regardless of load or ambient temp. Thanks, Brian- Mojave Red

water injection system in front of charger
I saw this water/methanol injection system on "Two Guys Garage" a few weeks ago. They said is could be used on any turbo diesel and was good for quite a bit of power. At $189, it seems like a good deal. Click link below and scroll to bottom of page...- Mojave Red

Need help with C-6 problems - Long Post
The Bishop Ford dealer quoted me $1200 for the transmission. The shop wanted another $800 for RR. My wife over heard the shop manager scolding the Ford parts guy for quoting the too low price of $1200. They assessed the situation: Three families on their first day of vacation = this guy will...- Mojave Red

Need help with C-6 problems - Long Post
Calvin I might just take you up on that. Because of our schedule down here, we would have to do it in a four day weekend or I'll have leave my truck up there until my next break. I'm pretty sure I could make it up there with no load. I'll be in touch. Does anyone have a picture of the...- Mojave Red

Need help with C-6 problems - Long Post
Mel You might be right about the wrong modulator. The one I have now looks different than the old one. I think we have a decent trans shop here in town. I just wanted to get a baseline of information before I went there. The shop in Bishop was all too ready to sell me a rebuild to the...- Mojave Red

Need help with C-6 problems - Long Post
This event happened a couple of weeks ago but the problem persists. Let me set the stage: It's the first day of our two week block leave (Army guy for those who don't know) and my wife and I, along with a couple of other Army families, are headed to the eastern Sierra Nevada for a little...- Mojave Red

First tow, and she ran hot - who has improved cooling system?
Jim73 I've been fighting high temps for years since rebuilding my engine and adding a turbo. I'm located at Ft Irwin (Barstow area) so I'm no stranger to triple digit temps. I just got back from a weeks fishing in the E. Sierras (June Lake Loop+Mammoth Lakes areas). Outside temps were...- Mojave Red

Strange electrical problem
We had some pretty heavy rain here in the Mojave today. Some water must have seeped in somewhere because my horn came on all on its own - was probably stuck on for nearly 15 minute - my neighbors must love me! I had to pull the negative battery cable to get it to stop. I guess I'll let things...- Mojave Red

4.10 to 3.55 Power loss?
I say "go for it!" Sure, your going to feel some power loss on the grades with your camper in back. But your still going to make it over anything in WA - just a bit slower... Be sure to watch your EGTs. Your going to enjoy your day to day unloaded driving much more with the lower RPMs. I...- Mojave Red

Temp light on!
I'll replace the sender. I had an over-heating scare a couple of years ago. Since then, I monitor my gauges almost continuously. I posted this just to see if anyone had a similar experience or knew if this was an indicator of something worse. thanks, Brian- Mojave Red
