That is the reason I gave these a shot. I was having the same problem. It took a couple tries to figure out how to get the best results. They are more difficult in the cold and using silicone grease (suggested in the instructions once i finally read them) also helps a bunch
I use the DeWalt one. Mostly because I already have invested in 20v max tool. It works really well. Just set your wanted tire pressure and hit the go button and it can also plug into the cigarette lighter if the battery dies on ya. It also does the high flow air for mattress or pool floats or...
Mine had a worn spot in the white vacuum line near the firewall passenger side right before it went into the wire conduit. Wasn't much but it kept it from moving the blend door. It is just fixed with electric tape for now. I had good vacuum on the system but that little leak kept the hvac from...
Been traveling all around KC area Highways the last couple of put about 250 miles on it with the 4x4 locked in the whole time but the roads have been snow covered and blowing snow. I-49 at 02:45 in the morning was pretty much my own private roadway though but last night on the way home I had a...
Yeah with that saddle tank empty and the rear one mostly empty I think it was like 36 gallons. Diesel is around $3.20 a gallon here. I usually don't let the tank get too empty but was only using the one. It will be less painful now
With the snow coming and I have to start traveling to work about 3 a.m. Saturday about 50 miles from the house to the plant. I thought I had better finally install the tank selector valve and new front tank I have been putting off. Got it all in and filled them up ( wholly cow $$$) out with the...
@Kdo58 watch out for this thing on your master cylinder It is a residual pressure valve for the drum brakes and it will hold a set psi of pressure on the brake line for the rear set and on the new disc brakes it is like driving with the emergency brake set. I had to take the guts out of it...
He talks about the powerstroke also. But he starts off with the 6.9 once he gets going. Keep watching he goes into alot of things everyone talks about on here. Seems like he knows the differences between the three engines
This is a great video that goes over many of the things I wish I had heard of or seen when I started working on mine. If you are new to IDI engines you should watch this one.
In the pictures, The rear block that is laying on its side looks like it is webbed plastic construction. I would be cautious of that one anyway. I think the idea of it is okay but I would want solid blocks. The front ones in the pictures (not installed) also look like a welded box. I think you...
@Clb I am sure you are a good guy and a no B.S'er kind of dude(<my 80's gen X is showing) and I really appreciate your input and knowledge you bring to this site. I hope that I didn't come across as trying to be confrontational because that wasn't my intent and sometimes typed word come across...
Maybe just don't answer? I dont know what to tell ya. They could just read shop manuals too and not come here at all. There are plenty of people on here happy to help but also maybe people dont want their head bit off for not knowing that you have had to see a question too many times. I think...
I will throw this in about searches and stickies. 99% of the research I do on this sight is on my phone. The only time I use a desktop is at work and dont come here often on that one. That being said, searches on your phone aren't always that productive and as far as stickies go only 3 show up...
@Nero What controller did you go with? I need to eventually replace the old one in my truck, the wiring is super sketch. When there are house wire nuts involved it makes me have zero confidence in it LOL
Do you have a pump pushing WMO from the tank to the repurposed oil filter? Only asking because it might put some extra stress on you pump by your fuel filter having to pull through the added oil filter.
