    A few pictures of my 99 CTD. I bought it with 316,XXX and it is still purring along. The heaviest load so far is about 26,000 pounds, it was a load of tire troughs on a goose neck flatbed trailer. The truck gets about 20 mpg empty, but only 10 mpg while hauling 26,000 pounds , not bad for a 99.

    I got my DSV and the grommet ripped on the DSII while dropping the tank. I emailed Vulcan for info as well but what would be a good way to seal the hole up? Its roughly 1 3/8 diameter. Obviously it needs to be diesel compatible. I am thinking I could use it as a hole to refill the tank from my bed mounted aux tank, which currently uses the vent tube.

    My son and I spent about 3.5 hours out in the garage today putting on some new cables from Geno's Garage (supplied by CustomBatteryCables.com). I know, I probably could of got them cheaper if I made them myself but a late night of shopping for one of the one touch oil drains and somehow those cables made it into my cart too They are a really nice set of cables with all the lugs already preinstalled. They even included rubber covers to go over the terminals but with all the additional wires I didn't put these on all of the cables. They even have some grease and anti-corrosion pads in the box. The cables are thicck (with 2 c's) and don't bend too well. It …

    Would anyone be interested in a dump for the possibility in unlocking a superchips 3855? I paid for the unlock and sniffed the USB port for packet information, raw data, etc while the superchips had the unlocking info sent to it. I just like to use these to change tire sizes.
