Nobody won the kangeroo yet,LOL,keep trying,I just want to thank everybody for the interest in trying to help me with this problem.Im down to the conclusion of either evaporation from the heat here or such a small leak thats its undetectable or headgasket.Eventually it'll show up.
My truck has'nt used a drop of oil since new.That many miles,the engine should be just coming around far as performance.A good diesel should be good for at least 300,000-500,000.It takes at least 90,000 to bring a good diesel up to top performance.They should be topped out around...
The truck is a 01 3500 D/A LB7,106,450 miles,No antifreez burnt smell off from the pipe.Im kinda thinking Deertraks might be right on it.Looked it over today,everything dry as a bone.Thought maybe it was coming out of the bypass hole on the bottom of the pump but dry there too.When I come off...
Can anybody tell me how I could check my D/A for a leaky headgasket.The engine is usin a little water & no leaks anywere.Checked the exhaust & dry as can be too.I know a gas engine you take a compression check through the plug holes.How do you do it with a Diesel?Pull the injectors,yikes.It...
Antifreez ?
Hi,No leaks,no nothing anywere.When it sits it dos,nt move at all,the water level.Were Im located its very hot & humid here all the time,Im in the Rio Grande Valley,most southern part of Texas.Have seen the heat index here close to 115.Most of the time in the summer it wont drop...
Anybody got any ideas on why my truck is usin water periodically.Im in southern Texas & our heat index gets to around 108 at times & even hotter at times.Have no leaks whatsoever & no water in oil or fuel.Looked the engine over good & no indication of a leak anywere.Someone told me its the heat...
:lol:Got the stack pipe on about 2 weeks ago but think were gonna have to put a resonator or a muffler on it.Man,when ya punch it it sure raps taking off or kicking it into high gear.We even isolated the exhaust from the cab with rubber grommets but the rap you get off from it is...
Tire Size
If you change the tire size it'll change your fuel mileage and speedo meter by 5 M.P.H.Itll also change your fuel mileage by 3-6 M.P.G.On some tires you can get it re calculated to the size of tires you put on but there is just a few certain sizes you can use to do this.:)
Filter
:)Hi,Im surprised to hear that you favor the filters.Myself,I think there a pain.I've had GM all my life & never seen this on one untill I got my 01.I've had GM from years dating back in the 60's till now and always got close to 200,000 out of them.The best one I ever owned was a 79 4x4...
Anybody know what years they installed the filters under the dash in front of the heater coil ? Mine has them & I change them approximently twice a year.A lot of guys dont know if they got them or not.If they plug up you dont get the circulation or the draw off from your system its intended...

Stack
A little noisy & with a rapping sound .Sounds better if you use the tow-haul when ya come to a light or stop sign.Itll rap louder then.You can also hear the turbo whistle if you use the tow haul & let off on it.Sounds just like a big rig except with no smoke.:)
