    what is normal amount of time for presure to build in the cooling system?

    I had to rename the title - I first worded it "what is the proper amount of time for your hose to get hard"...... lol So, from a cold start, how long before you should be able to tell the system is pressurized? I know a blown head gasket can cause the hoses to get firm in just a couple of...

    Thinking about adding 2 stoke oil....gotta couple Q's..

    Hey Tim, how much oil are you running per fill up? and, isn't farm diesel illegal to run on the highway where you're at? - they will bust you big time in FL if they catch you. Thanks Smitty

    Duramax Fan Blade on 95 Stock Clutch?

    Just curious, what is the difference between the d-max fan and 6.5 fan? (performance wise) - I understand the differences between the other clutches vs. OEM 6.5 but was just wondering about the fan itself. Thanks Smitty

    Wireless router?

    lol well, my guess would be that everybody was a farmer back then......or dead of starvation.... so He wasn't singling out anybody. Men farmed. Their punishment (forever) will be as stated... unfortunately, some of us still farm so, I guess you could say we choose to endure it. :) Of...

    Wireless router?

    Well, I don't think he hates us, but it's that whole Adam and Eve thing ):h, you know, Adam just had to listen to his wife and eat the dad-gum forbidden fruit. God told Adam "because you listened to your wife and ate it, cursed is the ground because of you, through painful toil you will eat of...

    fan clutch question....

    yeah, I knew why it did it, just thought it was weird that it only does it about 1 day a week.

    Your thoughts on my frame rust please

    bed off, knock off the loose stuff(Harbor Freight has a lot of crap but their pneumatic needle scalers work great for removing rust), make any repairs that might be needed and if you have a Chemsearch rep in your area, order a couple of bottles of Conquest Rust Converter. Brush or spray it on...

    fan clutch question....

    About once a week my fan clutch engages when I first crank up in the morning (ambient temps around 80 F) and stays engaged while I drive the 9/10ths of a mile down my driveway running about 10 mph. It always disengages before I reach the highway. Anybody else experiencing something like this...

    Opinion on filters

    I use AC delco (for oil) when Wally world has em in stock or Wix. I found a allison dealer about 40 miles from me - got to check their prices for the tranny filter. I was at the stealership yesterday (I've got a buddy that's the parts manager there - gets me a pretty decent discount on most...

    no brakes, no steering

    Yeah, forgot to mention that - I had one of my sons do that.

    no brakes, no steering

    Mine was doing that every now and then - more so when I first cranked up in the AM. I removed the return line from the PS pump, stuck it in a bucket, cranked the truck and started pouring fresh synthetic fluid in the PS reservoir until I had fresh fluid coming out the return. The fluid that...

    AC = Major Mistake

    When you're using the two wrenches are you aligning them on the nuts so the ends you are grabbing are like squeezing pliers? Doing it this way will put even torque on both sides and should not twist anything if you make sure to apply pressure evenly to both wrenches. This puts enormous...

    need measurements from a 5'ver

    Yeah, it sounds like I'll be getting the 12" deep box and give up my 20" - and I'll just have to remove my fuel tank when pulling a fifth wheel - which is not really a big deal - just two bolts, unplug the wiring and lift it out with my front end loader.

    Injector discussion no fighting allowed!

    I'm just letting him know with the symptoms (no smoke on startup, good fuel economy, smooth running) not to expect any difference with new injectors. Now the injection pump is another story - as mentioned, he'll probably see a huge difference in performance with a new IP. I've never heard...

    need measurements from a 5'ver

    Sorry, I forgot to add this is for my 07 LBZ which is short bed, crew cab. I just need to know the measurement between the 5th wheel and the front of the bed. If I go with the 12" deep toolbox plus 13" with the fuel tank - that's 25" total - will that give me enough room to install a 5th wheel...
