  1. I will try that next
  2. Didn't think of that. If it did go bad wouldn't something else not work to
  3. Started off with finding out my heater core started to leak but the stuff should be at the house sometime within a week. But as of this morning I have know low beams but I do have high beams. So after worked stopped and picked up a new headlight switch from my local junkyard and that didn't fix it. I have checked the fuses and not really sure where to start next.
  4. I had a 1/4 inch Line on my old 98 and on this 01 I have 1/8ich line and in my experience the 1/4 inch was was easier to get the gauge not to bounce.
  5. Thanks that's what I was trying to do and I wasn't sure of the bigline kit would do it
  6. It's been about a year since I installed my fass 150 and it's about time I install it into the factory fuel filter and I am a having trouble finding the correct fittings to make it work. I am sure I'm just overlooking something but what exactly do I need
  7. A little plumber's tape never hurt anything. I use it on just about all pipe threads
  8. I have one but never put it Just sits on the bench. I have had a ez on my last two trucks.
  9. It will give the same power as the ez without the wiretap not worth the extra money if your never going to use the pump tap
  10. My old 98.5 had a little bolt on the top that I would open to bleed it out but the 01 has a different filter bowl that I can't do that anymore.
  11. I used a bucket and I had the crack a couple injectors loose to get mine started again
  12. Took about half a day for me to do the vacuum pump. It's not hard I found a pretty good video on YouTube. Could it be oil?
  13. Had mine down to -20f a month ago with a fass and no fuel heater plus I forgot to plug the truck in. But on a side note I have also poped my fass fuse before it is around 10 below when I did it ran inside to the gas station came out and had zero pressure. Changed the fuse and down the road I went.you have to have a fuel pressure Guage. I get funny looks when I tell ppl that I have a fuel pressure gauges in the truck
  14. All I got was a sheet that said main relay open 65
  15. What does that code 65 mean is the module bad or is it something I can fix
  16. I have had the abs light and brake light on since I bought the truck. it's 4x2 abs I changed the rear speed sensor just to try. I brought it to the dealer to get scanned and it came back with code 65 he said it was main open maybe. Said something about a rwal valve,did say that the abs computer was good.but wanted and little input from you guys
  17. I changed one about 4 years ago in my first deisel.i am by no means a great mechanic but it isn't to hard took me about a half a day.with just basic tools you will be good to go I used what was posted above and a 4 part video on YouTube
  18. Thank for the parts list that sure is help full. Little bit of a pain flipping though 470 some pages to find it. It also shows 3 seals so not sure which one to get. Mine shouldn't be hard to get out its already about inch and a half back off.
  19. Noticed that my seal was leaking and was looking for a little insight of fixing it i have never done one. The videos I found where for Fords are they both about the same process on change it.
  20. Good news is it took about half a hour to get fixed ended up notching out less then a inch on the top of the pipe where the u bolt crushed it. Losses up all the hinger bolts and pushed the whole thing nice and tight. Bad news is my back side of the the transmission is leaking I believe it's called the tail seal.
  21. I would like to take it to a shop but they are full this weekend. I will take it apart tomorrow and go from there it's the only nice day should be in the 40. After that it's back in the teens for highs. Plus calling for over a foot of snow on Tuesday
  22. That's a great idea will try that first
  23. I believe it's bell and spigot with u bolts and the way it looked last night is he pushed it together less then a inch and put the clamp on pasted where they where together and crushed the pipe that's why I was I hoping I could cut the bell back and slide it back over the spigot. But I wasn't sure if that would work or not
  24. Long story short I was checking on my dad's cattle out in the field and got some really bad wheel hop and the exhaust came apart. Not a big deal I thought but after looking it over the Po who put the 4in exhaust on didn't get one of the pipes together and put the clamp on it egged out the one side and I can't get it back together. my question is can I cut about 1 inch off and put it back together or is this pipe flared on the bell side.
  25. I ran the relay like this picture The red fuel pump power wire I taped the power wire on the factor plug
