Front End Popping When Turning In 4 Wheel Drive
I've read where a pop or clunk that can be felt from the front of the truck can also be the sway bar end links. It happens occasionally on my truck, and I cannot figure how the end links could be the cause.

Hard Shifting NV5600
My SB Con OFE with over 130,000 miles on it will still groan and the truck will vibrate a bit if she's in "too" high a gear for the speed and you give her some pedal until she gets to 1500rpm. It's the gears/tranny/driveline absorbing the torque impulses (for lack of a better word) of the mighty Cummins. If it was slipping, you'd be smelling it.

Pop/miss At Certain Throttle Position
This is due to the "narrower" spray angle of the stock injectors. That coupled with the increased timing and duration these tuners allow; essentially creates a "blow torch" from the injected fuel on top of an aluminum piston. Me personally……I like to keep it under 1100*. One time towing a loaded car hauler into a 35mph head wind in -10*F weather; my pyro was reading a continuous 1000*F trying to keep the truck at 60mph.

YES!!! Thank you!!!!!! You saw the same thing!!! I wanted to reach thru the TV and *****-slap that "person". He's not a "man" IMHO!! Nor were any of the other "dudes" on that "infomercial". Not against shaving on men if'n you're competing in bodybuilding and swimming………………as these are the only 2 events that I've found that "hairless" skin is an advantage.

We're Doomed Gulliver
I shot milk out my nose over this weekend from what I saw on an "informercial" at 0 dark thirty in the AM over this past weekend. Here's the story……….. I got home from my retriever clubs "upland training" day on Saturday about 1:30PM, Unloaded my pooches, had a bite of lunch, and then decided to split the wood that I had scrounged the day prior. Wood splitting went without issue, as it was about 7*F when I did it……………………I love splitting wood when it's cold!!!! Split probably close to 1.5 cord of Box Elder with my Fiskars X-25. After that; I need wood for the stove in the house, so I clear the snow off the tarp I have covering my most seasoned wood and move probably a 1.5 cord into my shed to stay dry and another load up to my deck that'll last for 3-4 days. I feel good after all this. I go to bed about 10:00PM local time and then wake up at 2:00AM wide awake and cannot fall back asleep. So I go out get the stove going again, and watch some TV. Anyhow; I come across the infomercial about a product called a "no-no". It's a hair removal device. But get this………………….they had "dudes/guys" talking about hair removal (face excluded) like it was "normal and everyday" for all men!!! The "dudes" were talking about using this thing on their arms, chest, legs etc!!!! I was drinking a glass of milk to try to get to sleep again………………….and I watch this…………………hens the thread title…...………………were screwed in this country…………………………if men no longer want to look like men………………….and prefer the effeminate look of women!!! Rant off

Where Are The Young Entrepreneurs?
Same here……….. We had lots of kids of varying ages in my 'hood growing up. Always had something going on………………baseball, football, hide-and-seek, kick-the-can, sandboxes, picking on the kid with glasses (me) etc. Then when we got a bit older; working on cars, hunting, fishing, spin-the-bottle, etc. Then summer jobs……………working on the dairy farm; milking, spreading ****, making hay, stacking hay, filling silos, etc. Working where my Dad worked as a day laborer during college on the semester breaks. Not to forget the title of my OP………………shoveling snow in the winter for the elderly neighbors and anyone that'd pay me to do so!!! Poor "work ethic" amongst the yutes in our country nowadays. They believe they're "ENTITLED" to a job for the simple fact of "just being". How many go thru catastrophic failure syndrome when Not Hired For a Job, and/or Being Fired From a Job??????? Usually for being, at best mediocre, and getting replaced by a "go-getter"!!!

Just did front brakes
$6-700 for new "unit bearings' for both sides. $1500-1800 for one of the "free-spin" hub kits for both sides. You can pull these apart and "repack" them like other bearings…………..aka 2wd trucks.

Pop/miss At Certain Throttle Position
My "sweet" spot cruising is 65-75mph. The EGT's in my truck are actually lower at this speed than at 60 or even 55mph!!!! Sometimes running 68-70mph, which is 2k rpm +or-, I'm running 475-575* according to my Autometer. The boost at those speeds would be 3-7psi on my truck. AH64ID is correct……………that's not right…………………I re-read the OP, and I missed that!!! :banghead:

Hard Start After A Couple Days
How "hard" are we typing here exacty??? Have you tried cycling the grid heater twice before starting??? That'll also give the LP a chance to re-prime the system if it did drain down.

Were this my truck; I'd dump the BulllyDog and go SmartyPod or EFI Live. Way more tunable..

APPS or FCA should be checked also.

This could also be a reason why kids don't offer to shovel the neighbors driveways any longer.

Do y'all think they may have "over-developed" thumbs that prevent them from grasping a shovel???
