    blew up my chevy....

    I can haul it anywhere. It's been a good truck and i hate to get rid of it. I don't really have a time frame that it has to be done just know i want to get it fixed. I thought about doing it myself but don't have near enough time. It's paid for and makes an awesome daily driver. I don't know if...

    blew up my chevy....

    Well.... i'm ashamed to say it but i blew the head gasket on my chevy and it's pretty much me to blame. Pulling a load of trailers in a strong headwind and glanced down to see the temp guage a little over 210, didn't give it much thought, let it cool down right away then i heard what sounded...

    6.5 Power Loss

    My truck had the same issue with my mechanical wastegate controller. It ran great for a while but once things got warm it would throw PO236 left and right. I installed a boost fooler (resistor on intake sensor) and it worked to a certain extent but would still throw the code. Especially with a...

    No wts light

    Found the problem. Started checking things out and one of the glow plug wires (drivers side closest to bumper) had melted to the exhaust manifold and was making contact. Pulled it away and no more problems. Thanks guys.

    No wts light

    My truck died. It rolls over, all the lights come on when i turn the key except the wait to start light... Would the PMD cause this? I've checked everything with my limited knowledge, batteries have good charge, all the glow plugs have resistance on my ohm meter, turns over fast like it should...

    GVWR,GAWR, trailer weight, etc

    This is what the manufacturer states the vehicle should not exceed. When you are towing a trailer, your tongue weight on the truck should not make the vehicle exceed this weight. This includes the passengers, fuel, cargo, and tongue weight from the trailer. Your rear axle should not exceed...

Got any ideas as where to look?

    Leaf spring time

    I found a place in Grand Rapids, MI called State Spring that either manufactures or has a source for hd springs with a 2" lift so i won't need my blocks anymore. I'll bring my truck there and have them check it out and bring back what i find out. But yes, i need new springs, that's why i started...

    Leaf spring time

    Money is not much of an issue, the reason i didn't want airbags is because i had them on another truck and they leaked and wore out way too fast in my opinion, i think they were firestones. I drove someone's F-350 srw that had overloads and a couple add a leafs and was very impressed how it...

    Leaf spring time

    I need leaf springs now due to overloading and abuse.... just wondering who would be a good vendor to buy from? I do allot of heavy towing, i have a gooseneck and put allot of weight on the rear axle and would like to avoid air bags. Thanks in advance for your input.
