    Low budget battery recommendations.

    Can someone recommend good batteries for low budget? I think my batteries are on their way out. I checked them with a Harbor Freight load tester, they seem to be ok, but I've woke up a couple mornings after its cold and there is not enough juice to get it started, and it cranks sluggish. I've...

    WOO HOO!! Long tow.. no problems.

    Towed my 35' fifth wheel from Hemet, CA to Houston, TX over 2 days. No problems (other than taking a rock on the windshield in the last 20 miles). Got about 9 mpg. Phoenix and Tuscon were a bit challenging because it was hot out, about 100 deg. I found that I couldnt get above 45 mph without...

    12-13 PSI Boost with GLE.

    Ok, I played around with my boost this evening. at WOT and 65mph it spikes to 13 PSI and then drops off to about 10psi. I've got 236K miles on this truck and I dont want to blow it up. Just a little bit of black smoke when I punch it, other than that it looks pretty clean. Sorry to be a...

    Ok, if I'm in D or 3 and I'm going down a hill, say I dunno 50 mph, so my foot is off the pedal, when I slightly tap the brake pedal, just the slightest touch, my rpm drops about 500 rpm. I can feel that its almost like the transmission has disengaged somehow. Makes it very challenging to use...

    Replaced IP, still hard starting hot.

    I just replaced my IP with a reman from pensacola. My PMD is on the front bumper. Just got done pulling from Redding, temps outside were in the high 90's to 100. I pulled over and the truck sat for about 15-20 minutes and when I tried to start it again, it cranked for probably 6 or 7 seconds and...

    IP replacement and timing questions

    My truck is in the shop getting the injection pump replaced. The shop is not familiar with the 6.5L, but they are a good diesel shop. I just wanted to clarify the procedure. 1. Remove existing pump. 2. Put new pump, tech scribed lines on both IP and body and made a template to mark new IP...

    Injection Pump TDCO @ -2.46 what do I need to do ?

    with my TDCO reading -2.46 in car-code, will I need to move the pump to retard the tdco? I'm debating if I want to try to do it, or take it to a dealer to do it. I'll be towing this summer, so it needs to get done.
