  1. Welcome to the farm, Ken.
  2. I have to ask, John. If you only have one profile why are two showing up?
  3. Looks like you are hearing all the bad that can happen, but start simple. Pressure test the intake for leaks. Clean air filter. While you are in there with compressed air shoot 20 psi or so in the waste gate and be sure it is not stuck open. If you have no luck with that then move on the more compicated things
  4. The beefed up ones for such a situation aint cheap.
  5. John. is there relay you know of, or are we right there is none? I do this not to prove you wrong but to be sure I have it right. Just want to be sure I have it right when I have to explain to someone.
  6. I like the warranty for life they are headlining. All that BS and then in the disclaimer is says the warranty for life is good on all vehicles 2000 and newer with less than 100k. I think this one does not qualify. Beautiful truck just like the other one but must have a gold floor pan.
  7. while the boots might look good you will never know until you pressurize the system and check it all out. I have some small leaks in mine that were unnoticeable until I pressurized it an checked with soapy water.
  8. my AD came with a kit to delete the in tank pump. The fuel pick is in the basket and will suck the tank pretty dry. never had a bit of trouble out of it.
  9. I a a tank dropper myself. Usually I am by myself and have no way to lift the bed. A little cribbing under each end of the tank, unbolt the straps and walk it down off the cribbing. I dont use a draw straw, but if I had to cut one I would just support the tank where the straps hold it up and you should be able to get an accurate measurement. Pretty much a personal choice for whoever is doing it I guess.
  10. From a new start, maybe I can understand. But if I had a failure of any kind that would make me replace the coolant for any reason and they told be it would be $500 I would ****myself. It is a great idea but my wallet aint deep enough. I blew my radiator a few years back and this would have turned a $300 repair into an $800 repair. If the product responded as advertised, maybe there would have been no repair, who knows. Just seems to be alot of cash. Shoot I am still running oe heater hoses. $500 bucks for a blown one of those might make me do more than ****myself!!!!
  11. Get yourself a couple of kids and friends, a bag full of army men and a pile of rocks. Then it wont be your fault. Where's the emoticons when you need one?
  12. I think the only thing that will disengage the block heater is unplugging the cord or just not plugging it in. As far as i know there is no computer control of the block heater. Simply a plug and play. When I responded to this the thread was about 5 posts old. When i clicked the respond button 5 posts appeared and I see I was a little late. not sure what happened with that. A glitch????
  13. If you have a leak and none of their fluid to replace it with you have to add something else which contaminates their product and you have to start over again. $500 more. I like the idea but would hate it if that happened. Could be better than sliced bread, but could be incredibly expensive.
  14. interesting product, but if I am reading the conversion right, about $500 to convert. IIRC it will take 6 gallons of each fluid. $200 for the prep and about $300 for the coolant.
  15. Eco friendly soot. Normally would not think twice about that, but a paying client, maybe no the best thing to do. good luck.
  16. Kinda figured that. I guess it does'nt make much difference, sucks no matter how you look at it.
  17. I feel your pain. We spent the first 5 weeks of the job busting our butts to get the building into drywall and wall finishes and that is from ground breaking on 8-3. This just makes finishing easier. Then the construction manager for CFA decided it would be great to move the opening date up from 12-10 to 11-19. This just meant another 7 to 8 weeks of busting our butts to meet the new date, which we are going to make. I get an email from CFA operations last Wednesday announcing a 12-10 grand opening date. All that *** busting for nothing. I need a break after that.
  18. Is that the travel trailer or the big tex the melted?
  19. I had a similar issue with mine a good while back and the master cylinder was leaking internally so no fluid was seen.
  20. I am seeing names of those liking something at least single likes anyway. It is something i like seeing, those that are doing the liking of a post.
  21. A bad flowing air filter will reduce boost, but I don;'t know anything about the air filter you have.
  22. I would think if your clutch was slipping enough to make a noticeable difference in mileage you would know it was slipping, How are you checking the mileage to know it is worse the first 2 or 3 hours? As far as towing in 6th many say dont many do. I am one that does and so far with no ill affect. It will get the tranny hot however and that will put some stress on it. I will do at no more that half throttle. Any more than that you need to catch 5th. Many schools of thought on that. Ran mine with a Banks Tuner with no settings on it either,
  23. I guess I got that point across. Not sure what happened there.
