Recently my truck has developed strange handling while braking. It'll turn left slightly like the brake end is coming around when on ice. Then the wheel turns left and the truck track to the right. The steering box is at the end of adjustment. New tie rods/drag links haven't helped. I'm...

1+50 into a 2 hour trip my SES came on and kicked the cruise off while doing about 65mph. When I got off the throttle coming into town and stopped at the traffic light, the SES went out. It came on breifly when accelerating and then went out at the next traffic light. No light since. No...

Talking to Tanned got me thinking. Along with exceeding the published towing capacity, the Bramco flatbed - scheduled for installation late next week - will add more burden to the already challenged driveline. So today I ordered a set of Firestone Ride Rite air bags for the back. I'm...

Over a decade ago I quit washing the truck when the paint started flaking off. Figured if it didn't care what it looked like neither should I. With the Bramco bed about ready, it's time for a change. I pressure washed the whole truck to clean up the frame for the Bramco installation and...

My compressor was failing to engage. After 3 cans, it now cycles the compressor. Now the fan doesn't work. Other than jump the low pressure switch I haven't done anything else to it. Any ideas? I checked the fuse and the HTR AC fuse is fine.

Monday before last, I brought a deer home to butcher and parked the truck in the street. I have a winch with a remote in the attic I use for processing. Anyway, I showed up after my neighbor's guest arrived to her party - one of the local theater group. Thus, it was probably not on the...

Yep, on the driver's side I only have two. It didn't break off and a the threads in the manifold look fine. I only noticed it because, although at full APP the boost makes it to 11 psi, I'm getting no boost at lower speeds and only 2 psi at 65 mph with a light load. It's noticeably louder in...

I used to know this but... ...can someone remind me what causes rear brakes to lock after damp. Whenever it rains, my right rear tire leave a skid mark no matter how careful I am. What's the fix? Difficulty? Link?

I noticed after I purchased a 195 unit from Kennedy that it was listed for single stat units 97 and up and mine's a 94. Will it not fit? I wasn't aware there was a difference.

Anyone ever had their thermocouple on the EGT fail? I know to the hour when mine started acting weird. It went from correct indications to wavering/wandering with no direct connection to boost and often impossibly low. Now, I've pulled 8500# back and forth from the ranch - the sole purpose...

Recently I'd adjusted the last segment of my 4" straight pipe and didn't get the clamp tight enough as it slipped out. I noticed it walking around the car while fueling. It was running at the time and I crawled underneath and was able to slide it back in place. What surprised me was how 3...

I was operating the truck on frozen precipitation and the anti-lock brakes functioned. After that though the brakes seemed spongy. Since then, when I apply the brakes the parking brake light comes on if I push hard on the pedal. Consistently, if I shut the truck off and restart it the light...

I've always wished when I was crawling around the ranch and the truck is bouncing about in 4WD low that I could set the cruise control so my bouncing foot wasn't wildly varying input to the APP. Is this it possible to modify the system so it can be set at speeds below 25 mph?

The factory radio died about 4 years ago I guess. I replaced it with a "reconditioned" unit which is to say it was conditioned to croak as well. Rather than buy another - new or otherwise - I purchased a 27 dollar Chinese four speaker 50 amp fm radio that has a usb port in the front. I...

I have a leak somewhere between the lift pump and fuel filter but I can't see it. I can't see fuel in the galley but underneath I can see fuel dripping down the left side where the engine meets the tranny. Any ideas? Can someone tell me where it routes.

Since I had half my neck fused, I've lost maybe half my range of motion and there are some things I can't do. I took the truck to the dealership to take care of a leak. Previously, I could leave the lift pump on while it was parked overnight and it wouldn't leak but recently it began to leak...

I've been busy bringing the 94 1/2 ton up to speed for towing...injectors, a Heath towing chip, 4" straight pipe and a refreshed front end. I took delivery of a John Deere 3720 along with a tree shear, a grapple, and an MX5 mower. I drove the tractor the 3 miles from the dealership to the...

Since I chipped the truck, I wanted to get rid of the potentiometers. The MAP was easy; the Baro not so much. Does anyone know the what the three wires going into the Baro do? I'm presuming one is input, one is output and the other ground but the way I have it wired to the potentiometers it...

I put a 4" straight pipe on the 94 TD along with a Heath chip and a fresh set of injectors. Wow.

My 94 1/2 ton is working its way rapidly from daily driver to ranch vehicle. It'll be moving around my 2012 JD 3720 and implements on a 17' trailer with dual 5200# axles so it's time to get serious with mods. Anyway... Is anyone running a straight exhaust and dumping it forward of the rear...
