Added battery charger
I added a better battery charger/tender to plug in when I don't drive for few days. I've owned the truck for 13+ years. Previous owner had told me about a parasitic battery drain maybe because of aftermarket alarm install 'he said'. I spent over $600 having it searched and eliminated accessory...- DMcV

Shock Replacement Time
Bilstein's all the way !! I am no mechanic... but replacing the shocks is easy. You don't even have to remove the front wheels. My F350 rides firm but the Bilstein's smoothed it out a little, even the wife thought it rode better. Islander- DMcV

Tachometer Stays at 500 RPM after engine Shut Off
It has been suggested that it may be the cluster. However... the symptoms of a bad cluster involves way more than what I have going on. I will keep testing and see if I find anything. Islander- DMcV

Tranny Oil

I've read several posts and how too's. It looks like a pretty basic switch over, but there is a little time required...- DMcV

Tranny Oil
I had my transmission fully serviced, 22 liters of fluid change. They used a semi synthetic and I wondered if many other 7.3 people are using this type of fluid in their auto tranny's ? Thanks- DMcV

4r100 Deep Sump pan ?
trackspeeder, thanks for the suggestion, however I do think that the 4r100 has a small reserve of tranny fluid. If I could add more fluid with a deeper pan that adds to the cooling such as this one http://www.northernautoparts.com/ProductModelDetail.cfm?ProductModelId=19807 I think I may be...- DMcV

4r100 tranny Info please
Thanks OldBull8, Can anyone explain to me the pros and cons of multi (3) disc TC over 2 disc TC. If it means 'harder firmer' shifts don't think I want that, or should I say the co-pilot (wife) wouldn't like it, geeezee.... I was lucky enough to get the sound deading down to an acceptable level...- DMcV

4r100 tranny Info please
I will be upgrading my tranny and TC soon but because I am 'no' mechanic I seek some advice. During a first trip last weekend towing our 5th wheel I treated the tranny carefully not wanting to over heat or stress it. On a few long grades the speed droped well below the posted limit and I...- DMcV
