    A question about my other truck

    thanks for all the input. Today when I got home from work I pulled the thermostat back out to drill a hole in it hoping that would help get some air out and when I pulled it there was no coolant in engine shouldnt it have been full? Anyways I filled engine with coolant then put thermo back in...

    A question about my other truck

    Was yours showing any other signs? I went out and have been trying to bleed air out of system and just now fired it up and ran it for about 20 min and the gauge ran up to norm and no air bubbles or anything funky, so is it maybe just air in system I would think that if the head gasket was blown...

    I have a big question

    as far as bolt pattern I am not sure. As for the engine and tranny they should be able to handle them if you still have factory gears you will see a change in low end you may have to take off in 1st gear but on the Highway it will lower rpms which is a good thing. If you take it out wheelin or...

    starter fluid

    your best bet is to google 7.3 glow plug controller and it will give you pics and how to test it and what not.

    Temperature

    Not too long ago I ran it up north of here to Silverton, Co with a light load in the back and the road going up there is pretty steep, there is 2 passes to go over, summits around 10,000 feet. Anyways it got up to 210 but never went over that and pulled a lot better than I thought it would.

    starter fluid

    You can either unplug the controller or pull off the purple wire from relay if it is a 6.9 If it is 7.3 im not sure.

    fuel switch

    This probably doesnt help you, but your front tank pumping fuel into rear tank how does that happen? Maybe the switch is bad and when flipped over doesnt close off to front tank but opens for rear and fuel is transfered while still running to engine? Is there a type of check valve in the line...

    Heat Lamp

    Hey all, Im not sure if anyone else has tried this, I experimented last night and used a heat lamp with a clamp style holder and clamped it to my leaf spring and pointed it right up to my oil pan and it seemed to help. My truck started right up this morning. I am going to keep using it...

    Oil Cooler

    ya you can leave motor mount bolts alone if you are taking apart and putting back together the headers from bundle while still under truck. I lifted engine so I could pull the whole thing out and then work on it on a work bench a little easier I think.

    Oil Cooler

    I removed the motor mount bolts on oil cooler side only and put the block under the oil pan and was able to raise that side about 3 inches. What worked for me may not work for someone else, as you can see with other posts some have got to it from the top or say you have to remove more to do it...
