    New truck

    If you decide to chip your truck, this is what I would suggest as well. The Juice is not the highest powered chip available, but it's very good at doing what it was designed to do. The Attitude monitor is nice to have too.

    Edge Juice with attitude ?'s

    For regular driving, I went with level 3. There wasn't much smoke on that level. I didn't tow anything with my truck, so I can't say how much you can get away with there.

    2004 fuel or injector problem.... or something else

    That sounds a lot like my GMC 6.0L gas job when the fuel pump checked out. I don't know about the black smoke, but everything else sounds like a lift pump or injection pump problem.

    Best engine for Class 8

    I believe, and I don't have it handy, in a recent issue of Diesel World they had a one page write up about a new Cat Challenger farm tractor with a 625hp C-16 in it.

    Best engine for Class 8

    A pretty fundamental part of my post is that you can find the same engine in a farm tractor as you can in a highway tractor, and I thought I had this in the N-14. I decided to look to be sure, and now I can't find anything to confirm that. Edit: Apparently John Deere had a sileage cutter a...

    Best engine for Class 8

    Different applications, but the same engine. It will be up to the service department of wherever you take yor truck to decide if they can work on it or not. There might be cases where they can't. Probably they wouldn't be able to scan for codes or diagnose an electrical problem. But a lot...

    Best engine for Class 8

    As far as I know, Cat doesn't have a non-Cat application that a Cummins engine is not available in. Yeah, a Peterbilt is a non-Cat application, but you can get a Cummins in one too. You won't find a C-15 in a New Holland tractor, and the New Holland dealer won't service it for you. They might...

    Best engine for Class 8

    Another reason I'd consider a Cummins over a Cat is that there are more applications for an N-14 (that I can think of, anyway) than there are for a Cat. Case IH, New Holland and I think Agco tractors use N-14s, if I'm not mistaken, which gives you a few more options for labor. Those makes of...

    Fuel Mileage - Be Honest

    An Imperial gallon is 4.54 litres. A U.S. gallon is 3.79 litres. Multiply miles per Imperial gallon by 3.79, and divide by 4.54 to get miles per U.S. gallon. I think. The last time I checked mine, I got about 17.5-18.5 (U.S. gallons). My truck had 34,000 miles on it at the time, Juice...

    Dr. Performance Predator Stage III

    Is there a setting that you can put it on that puts out less power? It seemed like I was getting better mileage at lower settings on my chip than higher settings, though I don't have any numbers to back that up.

    2005 GMC - no power over 3000rpm

    And the answer is... fuel pump. It was only pressuring up to 30psi, supposed to be at 60psi. I guess now it's supposed to work good. It should, for $1100. I still have to pay for the megacab I rented too, which probably won't do much for the boss' spirits.

    2005 GMC - no power over 3000rpm

    Dammit, you might be right. I didn't think of the fuel pump. I drove for 8 hours today without a hiccup, so I don't know.

    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...

    Help???

    My brother likes his F-350. I like it too. He's probably got 20,000 miles on it now.

    Just got a new truck what kind of power adder?

    Do your A-Pillar Attitude mounts retain the grab handle? I don't think I've ever seen a picture of one that shows one way or another. I've just got mine velcro'd to the dash. I need the grab handle to guarantee that I don't end up on my lid getting in the truck.

    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...

    Just got a new truck what kind of power adder?

    I don't personally have any experience with Banks, but most people will tell you that when it comes to their electronics you can get more for less elsewhere. I'd go first with a cold air intake. I have an S&B and I like it enough. Someone else will probably be able to help more on which...

    Blue smoke and oil smell on start-up

    That's the new front runner for the problem. Keeping in mind my expertise is limited, that makes the most sense. I've been driving it every day, and if it does anything it just lets a quick puff go and clears up. I'd think that if it was an injector problem, it wouldn't smoke only at startup...

    Blue smoke and oil smell on start-up

    I got "Done" on the key on/key off one. On the other one (hold trip button and turn key on) it flashed "C Code" and then "00 00". I don't think it said "Done", I think it just flashed back to the odometer. I still haven't noticed a gain or loss on the dipstick. But I do now think I...

    Blue smoke and oil smell on start-up

    No, it's been good so far. I last changed the oil 700km ago. That was probably 5-6 weeks ago now. I think it was fine then, but I don't remember with absolute certainty. I haven't noticed any changes in the truck except for the smoke and smell yesterday. It didn't do it today. Tomorrow...

    MBRP Cool Duals Installed

    Yesterday we swapped places. I drove his truck and he drove mine so we could hear how our own trucks sounded. Loud is an understatement. I could hear my Dodge coming from a long way back, and I could feel it when he went by. I'm sure he had it to the boards when he passed me, so it probably...

    Blue smoke and oil smell on start-up

    That was a couple hours ago. I just went out and started it again and there was no smoke or smell. Other information: - Oil pressure is normal at idle and highway speed - Oil level is full, not overfull, and looks and smells like oil (not diesel) - Edge is set on 1, low boost fueling...

    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

    It only seems to be right at 2200. It's a pretty narrow range so it's easy to avoid it, but I had to change my driving style. Under acceleration I used to give it exactly enough throttle to put it in that range. Give it more, or less, and it's not a problem. Me and my brother were...
