  1. In town I work at there's a college and I a maintenance shop for the college, I know most of the staff there and they have a set up where they make their own bio from used vegetable oil. They use it in all of their equipment that is diesel as soon as worm season starts. Straight oil and they add something to it I forget what. I need to stop in there soon and make some notes. Lubrication wise I believe it's the best you can get.
  2. Put a little needle valve instead of your dampener, then close it all the way and open it just a small crack just enough so the gauge rises slowly.
  3. I'm wondering if we can still drive our diesels using something like vegetable oil. Would it then be better for the environment emission wise? I know it's not suited for cold climates but hey if I can keep driving it I will.
  4. Some say plug in the back of the cluster can work lose sometimes. I guess make sure all grounds are in good shape do WT mod then there's few connectors by passenger side battery that can lose connection. Check ac noise at alternator to be safe. All the usual stuff that these trucks are vulnerable to.
  5. So are you watching tps input ? It gets to 10% throttle and cuts power like it's back at 0 % throttle ?
  6. Did you get rid of factory amps? I believe they only designed to work with factory speakers and stereo.
  7. Most of the time if you're nice to animals they are nice to you, unless it's baby season, then don't test your luck.
  8. Can you put it on YouTube and post a link here
  9. Did best I could without saying much
  10. Yeah never thought I'd see the great USA in this low in morals.
  11. Soon Mad max will be moved from fiction to documentary like 1984 and many others, Holly wood witches and warlocks with their wands and spells on masses... We're living in the movie... With front row seating
  12. I would think so, but I would not do it until you figure out the main problem. Change one thing at a time so you're not guessing.
  13. I got an fte resonator that made the truck much nicer to ride on hwy.
  14. They seem to be proud of their injectors, I'd just get a hold of them and see what they got to say. Tell them people like us with cheaper injectors have no issues, what should you do to have no issues. Maybe they will tell you what else you can do to make it right, maybe something is missing in your set up.
  15. Hopefully this ecm lasts, if you did WT mod and have your ac noise in check then it should last a long time.
  16. Probably work better than regular channel locks I used. My ring tabs were bent in enough so that pliers would want to slide off, so finally I put some tack welds on the ends and that was enough to grip. I'm sure there better way but I usually go back to torch, hammer, welder for help, works most of the time.
  17. Why are you having so much trouble with a snap ring. If you're talking about how it comes off when you're holding it with pliers because of the angle of the clip ends, what I did is put couple tack welds on the end of the clip so pliers don't slide off. Make sure to use soap water and pressure test for lakes, I couldn't stop mine from licking and ended up using small amount of RTV. I even tried some lapping compound to make two surfaces be perfect wasn't enough. I don't have tack welds in this picture yet.
  18. This is my stereo, does the job for me. Has usb port for music, that's all I need really, oh and it has Bluetooth for hands-free driving. Just need to be close to microphone for better voice clarity on the other end.
  19. This guy is probably best at predicting that Here you go
  20. So-called people in charge are manipulating weather amongst other things playing God's role, then tell us it's this or that and we're at fault. We should change our lifestyles and pay more taxes on whatever they come up with. Total insanity. They are biggest hypocrites, telling us we should do this and that and they do complete opposite.
  21. Unless you're @dripleyand planning on digging a bigger hole so you can rest in piece together with your truck
  22. Fuc..... women and their feelings, it's like feelings are more important than what's right. Actually it's not just women the society itself is centered around feelings and personal egos, they just can't see past that. Truly sad, but hey what they say, what God doesn't do is for the best. I'd like to believe that. You know in a year or two or even sooner she might regret her decisions. Or you can do is be yourself and be close with kids, this life is temporary anyhow, there won't be a U-Haul truck following your funeral with all your possessions. I'm figurative speaking here, not you personally in general. All of our possessions will mean nothing when time comes. It's how you live your life and what kind of person you are is what matters.
  23. Yes I believe so. It sounds like you got electrical gremlins, maybe some ground slices are weak, losing 5 volt reference. Some models had issues with oil senders shorting out internally and messing with 5 volt reference so other sensors go nuts. Not sure on years from top of my head but worth looking into. If you did WT mod you got most of ground splices, but there is more, in wiring harness close to ecm there is a splice that I need to still get done myself and by passenger battery few quick connects that could lose connection. I'm just throwing ideas out, shouldn't cost much but time to get done.
