    HP/TQ Graph

    :dunno Tech's; I recently read an item in TL wherein the tech stated; "the most efficient operation, {sweet spot}, is where the HP and TQ curves intersect." Since reading this, I've been searching for the chart/graph relating to my 2005 E350 6.0L PSTD. Anyone know where I can find one or...

    Cummins Road Relay

    "Actually it does not control much" I knew that. "It's more of an information display." For driver while rolling? {similar to ScanGage}?? Or for service tech.??? Or both???? "It tells you when things need to be done (maintenance wise)" We can all use a reminder. If the entire...

    Cummins Road Relay

    Looks and sounds like something really neat. I wonder if Ford {Navistar} has something similar for use on the Powerstroke line of diesel engines. http://www.standbypower.com/Parts/RoadRelay/RoadRelayOverview/slide1.html

    Is an anti sway system worth it

    Read my post 2005 E350SD 6.0L PSTD SMB RB15 Class "B" and TT in the Towing and Hauling forum. I sincerely believe that our Equalizer hitch saved our bacon. Rounded a ramp @ 60 MPH and saw smoke in the rear view mirror. If We'd not been towing, the SMB's raised roof with its higher than...

    2005 E350SD 6.0L PSTD SMB RB15 Class "B" and TT

    Blew a drivers rear tire on my SMB this weekend. Noted while tire was being changed by GOOD SAM [30 min. response], that my E350 has the semi-floating axle. Kinda' thought on this application the full floater would be appropriate. We were heading up to Alpena Michigan, but didn't make it...

    E-Series Turn signal flashers

    Test run: E-Series trun flashers. Took my E350SD 6.0L PSTD SMB RB15 for a test drive this morning with the Turn Alarm installed. Daeco obtained an origional equiptment Ford flasher and added their enhancement to it. Cost was $39.00 and a bargain at that. Trophy bride :angel: says she DOESN'T...

    Spacers, Duals, Anti-Sqay Bar, Shocks etc.

    Techs; I'm considering the installation of wheel spacers to improve stability while towing {20,000 LB. GCW} with my SMB RB15 E350SD. Some have also suggested dual rear wheels. There is also the possibility of rear anti-sway [roll] bar. Perhaps higher quality heavy duty, [Bilstein...

    Is an anti sway system worth it

    Sway Control. We started out with a 16' trailer and used a Easy Lift WD hitch solo. When we moved up to a 24'er we used a Reese WD with add-on friction sway control. In 2002 we moved up to a 28'er with slide and used a Reese Dual Cam AND two friction sway controls. I can't say we were...

    2005 E350SD 6.0L PSTD SMB RB15 Class "B"

    John; It was overall a great trip. I'm still considering more gauges and possibly a tuner and exhaust. But, I could probably just get by with more gauges. Perhaps a pre turbo EGT with probe plumbed into the opposing exhaust pipe. A boost gauge maybe and a fuel pressure gauge...
