There is a B&D diesel shop about 25 miles from here. They dyno trucks all the time and even have their free dyno day once a year. I called them once about putting my truck on the dyno and they said it was a 100.00 Probably gone up since then but if anyone wants to contribute I'd put my truck on...

I have the tekonsha voyager but heard the best is the tekonsha p3 http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/equipment/protective-towing/brake-controllers.htm

My 98 does not have much rust on it but we are 15 miles from salt water and they really only ever use sand on our roads. I never drive on the beach, that's asking for problems.

I would suggest fourteen 20$ hookers and instead of the 15th, buy condoms & paper bags so you don't have to look at just how ugly they are.

I think what it is, the intercooler has tubes in which it takes time to compress the air coming in from the turbo. More so than without an intercooler. The time it takes to compress the air will lead to black smoke until the compressed air gets to the intake. Think of an air compressor...

For what I paid for the led's on the thread I started, yep. worth every penny in battery consumption. One of the biggest problems with incandescent bulbs is the filament. They get brittle over time and roads tend to break them with bumps. that does not happen with led's. You should also get...

Just to clarify, both these vids were pre exhaust fix. I cannot find the little camera cord to upload any new videos, not that I have any as of yet.

X2, I was a wee bit disappointed when I first got it and for 11 months after that. Then I got my exhaust leak fixed and am looking so forward to towing our trailer in 24 days time. Vacation. woohoo.. It also took darn near a month to arrive here but that is most likely due to Canada customs...

I used to get lots of smoke off the line but I had an exhaust leak on the drivers side at the donut. Since that has been fixed boost comes up incredibly quicker than before the fix. Now I get minimal smoke. http://s130.photobucket.com/albums/p242/edzzed/?action=view&current=ztruck012.mp4 on...

On our 2008 sidetrak, I went to do some modifications and found a pair of pliers, screwdriver, screws, lighter and a 1/2 pack of smokes. They were in an area that had been closed up to hide the cabling for the slideout. I also had to redo some of the plumbing hose since whomever did it at the...

For those interested in LED lighting, I point you to a thread I started in March 2010. I have had no bulb problems with any of the LED's I bought. http://www.bcrvforum.com/led-lighting-t126.html You can buy LED's cheap on Ebay. I realize some of the links in the post are now dead but if you...

He is not the only one who likes snow camping. Nice work on the trailer. If I had the know how I would have gone that route and saved a lot of money. Instead we bought an 08 a couple years ago. Needed more room for the wife and dogs than the camper gave me. And you think you got mud...

I really doubt a fuel heater is effective given the amount of time fuel spends in it. You may be better off installing a tank fuel heater running 110 volts with a 12 volt option. In looking at hot water on demand systems. Yep they deliver hot water but it's needing a big line to allow enough...

does it have a mechanical fuel pump for the lift pump. I do like the way the oil filter sits. Might make for less mess when changing them. Ed

I have heard a few cummins and some idle loud whereas others idle much quieter and they are the same years. Might be that some have turned up the timing. Even on new diesels they are so quiet and that is accomplished by pilot injection. It is like a double squirt of diesel on each compression...

I have noticed my gps says I am doing 60 mph but the trucks speedo says I am doing 64 mph. I tend to believe the gps as being accurate since it gets a radio signal to calculate speed when the truck is mechanically calculated. Maybe that is GM's way of helping us to avoid speed traps and...

I have 3 shift kits in my tranny, before you say WTF, When my original tranny died I had Aamco install a rebuilt one. I did not know at the time but they put a mild shift kit in when they rebuild them. My Heath HP4 upped the line pressure which is a shift kit of sorts. I had some issues...

those look like crossover pipe gaskets. I had a leak coming off the drivers side down pipe and it had a monumental effect on my ATT in that it took some time to hit 15lbs and smoked off the line quite a bit. Not anymore though.

I now have a tentative appointment with Bill on March 9th. I will be driving down there and Bill is going to test drive my truck and tweak the HP4 as he feels it would best match the engine / turbo / truck. If anyone needs anything from Heath and lives in the lower mainland of BC. Let Bill and...

That is nuts, they put us on the rollers and simulate driving, I never heard him gun the engine when mine was tested
