    2005 GMC - no power over 3000rpm

    My work wagon is a 2005 GMC 2500 4x4 with a 6.0 and an automatic. Recently it has been acting up. It won't rev over a certain rpm, which can vary from 2500-4000rpm. It's like hitting the governor the way it just stops. It's fine on the highway, but if I'm going uphill and it downshifts to...

    Cigarette lighter fuses

    My cigarette lighter doesn't work. This happens all the time, so I went to replace the 15 amp fuse under the hood. This time it wasn't blown. I think a GM mechanic told me there was another fuse somewhere for the cigarette lighter, and I don't have an owner's manual for the truck. I have...

    Blue smoke and oil smell on start-up

    My truck was last driven a week ago (not by me). I started it today and let it idle for a few minutes. Then my brother drove it six miles. It smoked from startup until he got it back home again. It stopped smoking when he got it back in the yard idling again. I don't remember it doing this...

    MBRP Cool Duals Installed

    I think I've had enough time to think about my new exhaust system, so now I can give some sort of review. I ordered the pipes and tips from Mark Craig at Diesel Performance Parts. He was good to deal with, and so was the guy I talked to on the phone (I forgot his name). Shipping was I think...

    Billet intermediate shaft - worth the money?

    I called NADP today to get a price on a built transmission. $5500 would get me one with billet input and output shafts, and another $600 would get me a billet intermediate shaft. Say I wanted to hit 500HP. Do I need that intermediate shaft as well? Also, does anyone have anything to say...

    Taking the dye out of farm fuel?

    Way back when I was in university (2 years ago), one of my soils teachers was telling a story about a farmer he knew that would filter the dye out of farm (or off-road) fuel. I remember he ran it through a clay, but I don't remember what type of clay it was. I want to say montmorillonite, but...

    Brother bought a 6.0 today

    Apparently my brother bought an '06 F-350 crew cab Lariat 4x4 today. Which means I get to build two diesels instead of one, and I have someone to test against if/when I upgrade. I am very excited about that. Now, I need to do some research. I am doing so without his knowing about it, so...

    Seen the underside of a T800 lately?

    I went out to work this morning and stumbled onto a little surprise. 1 week old Kenworth T800 vac truck. Driver took the corner too fast and put it on its side. About $275,000 laying on its side right there. Oh yeah, the driver's okay.

    Too big?

    Today I got what I think is an okay price on some Toyo Open Country M/T's. I didn't buy them because they are big. They are 295/70R17. My math has that at 33 1/4" tall. Is that too tall for a stock height Dodge? A levelling kit is absolutely out of the question, and I can't afford a lift so...

    Does anyone have this picture?

    This picture comes from an Issue 38 of Trucks Magazine. I want a good copy of this picture, because besides this the magazine is pretty much worthless to me and I don't want to carry it around. When I get a lift, I want this stance and I don't want to forget what it looks like. This picture I...

    Exhaust Temps

    On Tuesday I stopped at a diesel shop in Calgary to get a hole drilled and tapped in my exhaust manifold for my Juice/Attitude. I made sure and asked the guy if he knew how and where to do it. He said he did. I paid for it, went out and popped the hood. Where's the hole? 8-10" past the...

    F-250 Lariat for $13,500?

    What goes on here? Wrecked, I assume? http://cgi.ebay.ca/Ford-F-250-13-500-US-13-500-US-2006-FORD-F250-KING-RANCH-CREW-4X4-DIESEL_W0QQitemZ4590803514QQcategoryZ39415QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Looking for power, need advice from smart people

    Looking for power (now with mediocre review of Juice/Attitude!) Before I start, I've spent countless hours here sifting through the information already posted. So I've tried to answer my questions myself but either the threads got derailed or it's old information. (Another board I'm on...

    Rig movers

    I decided to look around to see what kind of trucks I could find from different drilling rig moving companies. The wildest ones come from Pentastar Transportation, from Spruce Grove, Alberta. Pentastar is the only one I've seen with trucks like this. On the manufacturing page, it looks like...

    New member, new truck

    Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here. I bought an '05 2500 Quad Cab Shortbox 4x4 a couple weeks ago, and have been enjoying it a lot. First, some background information. I am 23 years old, Canadian, and work as an environmental consultant in the oilfield in western Canada. The...
