Normally without the engine "loading up" and making you stomp the brakes harder? If so I suggest you start with engine not running well. Low fuel pressure and my favorite is a sticking EGR for a PIA to troubleshoot because to avoid warranty claims (and nuisance) with slow primitive ECM's there...

Sounds like the EGR is sticking open. More throttle allows the engine to run with unexpected high EGR vs. run badly at idle. You have done the pop the transmission into Neutral when it's acting up to help eliminate or confirm the sticking TCC theory. This "Unloads" the engine even if the TCC is...

@jrsavoie It's pretty clear... EPA Administrator Michael Regan said “vulnerable communities are more likely to reside near highways where these harmful emissions are concentrated, making this agreement critical to advancing our environmental justice agenda.”...

If you are subject to migraines or seizures the strobe type LED's are a real weapon turned loose by the cheap lighting industry. I suggest it's a weapon of war sent in by China to disable Americans, but, more likely American's cheap willfully ignorant arrogance. Add Commiefornia's lets have a...

Best laugh I've had all day. 🤪 Even with the wick turned up (spool valve, huge ATT turbo, insane EGT tune) at least mine didn't come in dead last on dyno days as because a stock 7.3 IDI was strapped to the rollers at some point...

I had to go out and look at what I have leftover I picked up at a local hot rod shop: lopersperformancecenter Made In USA... Best example, via a kit, of what I used. Paint, stainless steel tie wraps, and the actual wrap, you need lots of those tie wraps: Thermo-Tec Exhaust Insulating Wrap...

Header wrap it past the passenger floor pan. Header wrap on the manifolds. (Best done with manifolds removed.) Turbo blanket. All painted with the header wrap paint to reduce moisture and harden it in place. When you ain't scared of 1550 EGT it helps things not melt in the area and the floor...

Drop a hot water heater and it cracks/breaks the glass lining on the inside of the tank. I don't know if they are all glass lined inside the tank anymore. So scratch and dent is garbage with the extreme risk of future early failure and flooding from rust in the now unprotected area. A flood from...

IMO glow plugs that are not self regulating are a ticking time bomb! Even when somewhat new a controller problem can turn them into engine damage debris. Been there done that with a "Late Model at the time" 1988 6.2L NA that ate it's glow plugs in like 1990. There isn't a set life for glow plugs...

I would suspect in this order: Align the truck ... wait: you confirmed problem with a wheel bearing failure. This may resolve the MPG problem alone. Look for fuel leaks. Diesel fuel will evaporate off the exhaust manifold. The return lines can be a real PIA to deal with and leak especially if...

An INOP parking brake has killed people. Got run over by your own truck is a bad way to go out or be crippled for life. They gave it back to you in this condition. :eek: Then missed a common wheel bearing failure... Sounds like they specialize in gross negligence thus a place that you shouldn't...

Word: Pictures. Video. A video of the engine cranking can let us hear if one hole has low compression. Knock sounds may be known to us. It smokes,,, What Color and when esp. if the color is different? Black is too much fuel or not enough air. Check the simple things like the air filter and...

How do you go about changing the timing set on a Gen V 454? The timing cover... It's 10 bolts. No bolts from the oil pan go into the timing cover like the older 454's. Or is it 10 bolts and Drop The Oil Pan!? After all it's a 1 piece oil pan gasket that goes through the bottom of this timing...

It's ~10 years old. and came off an auction site. So no telling if it was an knock-off or the real thing.

I DO NOT TRUST Amazon for filters or anything else critical as it may be a knock-off and they don't GAF. Even Rock Auto has proven to be trouble to get warranty on items damaged from a part failure. If what you buy takes out your engine, ask @Will L. , think of how it's not covered. Local...

Have you had any luck checking the TPS and brake switch as mentioned above? A combo of the TPS being out of adjustment and/or bad brake switch could be hard shifting. At the minimum pull codes. If this hasn't been fixed I would suggest you get them to the shop I recommended in Phoenix. I would...

Well maybe it was (or a knock-off). Watching O2 sensor cross counts ... Only light throttle would there be any. Heavier throttle it went "lean" and stayed there. Spark plugs read lean. So a fuel problem. Timing light check of the injector spray pattern showed noting unusual. Listening to...

You haven't mentioned rings. If you haven't looked into a gapless 2nd ring set now is the time. Results in my thread below. Reminder it may be... https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/total-seal-gapless-rings.29135/

It comes as an assembly with the hose. We are not replacing just the pump, but, the entire module with level sensor, sock etc. The old hose was also 'loose' so yeah don't think much of the clamps. They only got to last longer than the in-tank pump/motor lifetime warranty, err um, vehicle gets...
