    Portable 12volt Fuel Transfer Pump

    Well, looks like they may have discontinued it. Entering GPID12NS in their search engine resulted in "No items were found matching your criteria." Oh, well! :sad: Thanks anyway.

    Portable 12volt Fuel Transfer Pump

    I bet that is a nice rig. Does it run on 12v DC?

    Portable 12volt Fuel Transfer Pump

    My usage would be pretty much the same as yours. I intend to do the same as you did by installing a trailer plug on the power cord. I haven't bought it yet, because my travels have been drastically curtailed and money is very tight now. So, I'm still having to haul out the 40 lb 5-gallon fuel...

    Portable 12volt Fuel Transfer Pump

    Thanks for the link. I see that Northern jacked up their price by $30. :sad: I can't find that particular version in the JME website though, unless their version is this one. http://www.jmesales.com/item/108254/GPI-Repackaged-12V-Economy-Pump-W-Manual-Nozzle.aspx I'll need to check some...

    Inaugural DTR Site giveaway, time is running out!!

    I'm IN! May have to wait a while since I recently changed the oil in my truck. Does this include an oil change for the Allison also? It's worth a try to ask ! ! ! :D

    NorCalTruck MySpace

    It is much better now, but I think it is still TOO BUSY! - The nice graphics would be great if they were on their own specific page, but everything in one page tends to confuse the reader. Needs some kind of theme for the reader to focus on. I think a more basic home page with nice graphics...

    Mobil 1300

    Mobil Delvac 1300 15W40 is NOT synthetic. You can get Mobil 1 Turbo-diesel Truck 5W40 or Mobil 1 Delvac 5W40 if you want Mobil synthetic. According to Mobil's website they are both the same exact oil, just packaged differently for marketing purposes. But both are hard to find. I read an...

    Is Stanadyne that good?

    My truck has had Stanadyne Performance Formula all the time, except for around 6 tanks-full when I was testing something different for a friend. The other stuff gave me much worse fuel economy, so I ended up switching back to Stanadyne and all was good again. So far I am extremely happy with...

    GM Puts New Truck Diesel Engine Program on Indefinite Hold Status

    You have to understand that the people making the decisions now don't know diddly squat about the design and manufacture of cars and trucks, or about science for that matter. They are the same people that asked "Who wrote those Laws of Physics? -- We have access to the majority in Congress and...

    Newest duramax w/o dpf

    2006 LLY and 2006-2007 LBZ are the only ones I would consider. In my opinion they are the most trouble free Duramax package in the family. the only problems I've ever had with mine were a coolant leak from an engine oil cooler gasket and leaking transmission lines. All fixed last year under...

    Can I make my 2500 a 3500?

    I remember reading on the other site, where a member said that he had his GM dealer install the 3500SRW overload springs on to his 2500HD and the dealer changed the sticker on the door to reflect the same load ratings as for a 3500SRW. You might want to ask your dealer if they would do that...

    Can I make my 2500 a 3500?

    Here is some information I got from GM a while back. It is my understanding that the brakes and suspension on the GMT800 (Old Body style) and the GMT900 (New Body Style) are the same. According to this chart, the 2500HD and the 3500SRW have the same brakes. The dually has different rear...

    Head gasket problem - truth or fiction?

    Yes, the loaner car is covered only during the 36mo/36K warranty, unless you have the GMPP extended warranty in force at the time of the repair or the dealer wants to provide a courtesy car. Many shops will pull the engine for major engine work. It is a lot easier to work on and reduces the...

    OK, no bullshit...transfercase fluid you have used

    Yes, I know. One of the main reason they gave for advocating the use of engine oil was because they feel that ATF has been evaporating from the transfer case due to excessive heat from heavy towing in hot weather. The oil level in my transfer has never dropped, so evidently, my truck is not...

    OK, no bullshit...transfercase fluid you have used

    2006 LBZ - Currently have approximately 43,000 miles on the clock. I changed the T-Case fluid at 4,322 and at 38,492 miles. Both times I used Mobil 1 Dexron-III Synthetic, purchased from Wal*Mart. The last time, I over-filled the transfercase by ONE quart through the speed sensor hole, as...

    Keep in mind that unless you reprogram the TCM, your transmission shift points are going to move UP.
