Hey guys, maybe some of you that have been here a long time or from the beginning of The Truck Stop you might remember me. I haven't been on here for some time, and it was nothing to do with the site or any of you guys. Went through some stuff in my personal life and fell away from here for no...

Ok, before everyone just says I'm crazy in general... :hihi: I was looking last week for craps and grins, and came across this truck. A 2002 Sliverado 2500HD CC/SB LB7. 143,000 miles. It's one of my favorite body styles for the Silverados and in the color I really like as well. Not terribly...

Couple days ago I had the "Brake System Warning" and "ABS Warning" lights come on after about 10 miles of driving. The first time they came on, they lit up for about 5 miles or so then went off. Then came back on. When I got back into the truck, both warning lights were off and stayed off for...

I'm getting a new transmission for the truck. Brought the truck in to have the computer part that needs to be replaced because there is a short tha is causing the pass. side headlamp to not work when the low beams are on. I brought up that the trans hadn't been shifting properly for a little...

http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/12/first-look-gmc-sierra-all-terrain-hd-concept.html I saw that this article was writen back in December and the truck itself was at the Chicago Auto Show as a concept a few weeks back, but haven't seen anything on here. If GM only had the balls to actually...

What, if any is the recommended coolent to run in the Cummins? Is it ok to run the premix 50/50 in it? I see my coolant reservoir is on the low side. It isn't something I have changed or flushed since I bought it. Engine temps have always been a steady 190* to 195*. But when I looked at the tank...

So after almost a year of off roading while out on the pipeline, and not seeing me going out that way anymore, I want to clean up the engine compartment so it looks half way decent when I open up the hood. I'm looking for any ideas or input on an good way to clean it up.

Here is some of the basic specs for the 3rd Gen Cummins engines. More or less the capacity of fluids and torque spces. If there are things that you think should be added to this, please feel free. I'm sure a guy like Rich (Cumminalong) will be able to add plenty. Just wanted to have this here...

I have just a fuzz shy of 10k on my FASS fuel pump and have been running the original water filter. Who has the FASS and how often should I change the filter? Or does it last a long time and all I need to do is just drain it?

A year ago Sunday I bought my Cummins. 26,056 miles and 960 miles later I can say I have been pretty happy with my purchase. Bought the truck May 9th, 2009 with 53,556 miles on the truck. As the truck sits in the garage tonight there are 79,612 miles on the odometer. Outside of a couple...

So I have changed my wheels to black and am looking for my next thing to change on my truck. I have heard a few guys on here talking about doing a black exhaust or stack and I have really liked the idea. So here is a picture of a couple peices of extra exhaust pipe. The one on the left is what...

Is there a place up here in Northern Illinois that I could rely on for putting in a set a boost, egt, and trans temp gauges the right way the first time? I can do most stuff for my truck, installed my exhaust and intake myself, and can do all the basic stuff, but when it comes to electronic...

http://www.gmc.com/2011sierra/denali/index.jsp It looks like the Ford King Ranch has some compitetion now. I remember seeing this in pictures from the SEMA show of the Denali HD, but never heard anything about it actually going into production. I guess I have my new "when I win the lottery"...

Well finally saved up all my nickels and found all my pennies in the couch and got my wheels and tires on today. Bumped up a size for the tires, from the stock 265's up to 285 BFG All-Terrian T/A KO's and I went with the Liquid Metal Gatlin wheels, 17x9's. I love how they look, I couldn't be...

Does anyone have any experience with their products or know anyone that has? The suspension/4x4 place in town sells their products. I went in there today to see what it would run to get the 2" leveling kit for up front along with 4 new shocks all around. He said they all come with a lifetime...

These are two of the flat black wheels I'm looking at and wanted some input, positive or negitive, from you guys. My truck is dark blue and really like the look of a flat black wheel on a blue truck from all of the pictures I have seen of other guys trucks. So, fire away. I'm leaning towards...

A friend of mine has an '06 F-350 dually and is looking for a turbo upgrade. I'm not really up on my Ford turbos, so I thought I would ask around. He pulls a trailer and a gooseneck with the truck quite often but also drives it empty just as much. Is the turbo in the '06's a VVT? He brought up...

I'm still learning things with my Cummins, even 9 months after buying it, and now with almost a full winter under my belt with this truck, I hear an odd idle sound both when the engine is cold and warmed up. It doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while. You will hear it run nice and...

I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Rich is a pretty damn good guy. I was stuck with a truck that was out of service 500 miles from home, in a hotel parking lot, and after checking every single big rig shop in the Kansas City area, I didn't find what I needed...

Does any other company make a respectable filter that will replace the FASS fuel pump filter on the 95 series pump (Filter # FF2003)? Only one I have found online when searching was the filter from FASS and it runs $23. :nonod:
