    MAJOR issues with 2011 Chevy 3500HD dually towing G/N, ideas?

    I have been digging for information from those who drive these rigs the most. I am new here and haven't driven these a whole lot. I have found that any combination of the two trucks and two trailers can yeild this bucking problem. I hope to video an incident to see what is really going on. My...

    Winter is here! Thoughts on cold, hard starts?

    A healthy IP makes a world of difference. I have two shot glow plugs and had to cycle twice the other day after the truck sat for a week, was in the low 30's. Everyone else was surprised that the old rig started so fast, I was embarrassed. It will start with one crankshaft revolution down into...

    I need a new pinion yoke for my 10.25" rear.

    My truck has a vibration that has been bothering me at highway speeds. I am ordering a new carrier bearing just to eliminate the possibility of that adding to the issue. The real crux of the problem is the pinion yoke. the ujoint moves side to side within the yoke to the tune of about a...

    MAJOR issues with 2011 Chevy 3500HD dually towing G/N, ideas?

    I was really trying to like this Chevy but it posted 2 strikes against it in 2days. Day 1 was the bucking incidents, today I repaired the trailer harness to lose functions in the bed 7 pin socket and lost the tail lights in the bumper socket. I looked underneath the bumper to find like a hundred...

    MAJOR issues with 2011 Chevy 3500HD dually towing G/N, ideas?

    The shop supervisor told me that the truck didnt have this issue with the trailer I was using, he was wrong about that one! they swapped trailers with trucks already, the other truck is an 07 Chevy spec'ed the same as the 2011. The trailer is easy to look at, in the shop now. I will try to look...

    MAJOR issues with 2011 Chevy 3500HD dually towing G/N, ideas?

    I am working for a contractor who has triple axle enclosed gooseneck trailers, about 18,000lb curb weight, doesn't seem unbalanced. I towed one yesterday with their 2011 duramax dually 4x4 and was warned of a situation where it bucks when applying the brakes. To make matters worse I quickly...

    1991 super duty rear ratio

    That would rock out in my F350. I'm on the fence as to getting an underdrive or over drive unit. UD would be great with 4:10's for towing heavy, OD would be good for highway cruising. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

    1991 super duty rear ratio

    The F-Superduty really was an overachieving truck. The 7.3 indeed will run for years on the governor and the chassis is damn near bulletproof. I would venture to say that the E4OD would be the weak link but even that can be built well in this era. Even the ZF5 speed is under rated for this truck...

    Saw this on Craigslist

    That's a clean, straight truck. These old rigs are rebounding in their value. I can't say that is overpriced, you couldn't buy a $1500 truck and build it to that with the $2450 that would be remaining.

    F 350 compared to F 250 for towing n hauling. Or even 450

    Any truck and trailer that has a combined weight over 26,000 will require a CDL. It is vague and suspect to interpretation but any rig with a trailer over 10,000lbs falls under CDL range as well, at least thats how it was outlined to me. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

    F 350 compared to F 250 for towing n hauling. Or even 450

    250's and 350's don't really offer much difference, 450 is a different story. I would say when you are in business and on the road 6 days a week you owe it to the general public to have a tow vehicle set up so the tail isn't wagging the dog. Yes, I have had my F350 grossed at 28,000lbs and even...

    Best to replace all the glow plugs? One bad one found

    I replaced all 8 about 3 years ago with Berus. I think one or two are shot so I am going to replace as needed from this point forward until this method proves faulty.

    Parts list for TTB rebuild?

    2 pivot bushings, leaf spring bushings, all new steering linkage, 3 U-joints, ball joints as stated. Don't forget the bearings, hub seals and the axleshaft bearings that are inside the spindle. Also shocks play a HUGE role with the TTB front end so get some new shocks too. Best way is to remove...

    Another hard starting thread

    Fresh pump, timing and injectors are night and day difference. I went form hard starting to one GP cycle and a 1/4 turn on a 13* F morning.

    7.3 idi vs 7.3 idit

    The IDI simply has design limitations. I fully expect a long life out of my engine even though I have a turbo on a non turbo block. I have come to accept that 217hp at the rear wheels is about the limit of hp without spending a lot of coin and questioning the long term reliability. Sent from my...

    Thinking About An Older Ford Diesel

    The D60 came out in 1986. 80-85 F350's have the D50 TTB and the 250's have the D44HD TTB. The D50 TTB made their way into the F250's from '86 on up.

    Project: '94 CC F350 Service Pickup

    The cushion clamps show a great attention to detail, very nice. Can you show where you plumbed the filter into the system? I am guessing into the heater core hoses but wonder about the guarantee of circulation through the filter. Are you in series or parallel with the heater core?

    I have seen quite a few rust free older diesels lately, where should i post this inf

    That would be welcome info in the 6.9/7.3 section. I don't think the mods would have any problem with it.
