I'm sure what I was looking at was neither SunCoast or ATS. And I'm almost certain the parts were at least somewhat under $1000, but it's been...
Not a CTD, but I run standard Rotella T 15-40 per manufacturer recomendations and intervals.
FWIW (admittedly not much) I agree on the 47 vs. 48, though you guys undoubtedly know more of them than I do. Not far back I was looking into some...
Google is your friend... Elk Grove Village, IL http://www.city-data.com/zips/60007.html
So far I've only had minor stuff like separated tires and things I could keep rolling. Another guy had a fuel filter plug up from fuel bought in...
No worries, it's all good. But on the low rpm torque, look back at those graphs. According to them (in those years of course), which appears...
LOL! rotfl Good ones actually... But I think you've got it twisted, and I probably wasn't clear either which is the problem. Yeah,...
First off, and most important, where are you? Safe to assume a goose? Wood or steal? Jack(s)? Those type of things are important to most any...
You may be right, but it just seems like most of the HD pickup crowd is fixated on I6 as superior, and the winner for "cachet" (most important...
LOL, I guess you guys really hate it when my work slows down (as it has been this week) and I have time to keep up on the boards... :cool:
All: Oops, sorry, just realized the dyno charts for the GM and Ford do not list the years. As I mentioned in the text, it is '02 GM LB7 and...
Cummins: You have a valid point, to an extent. But I don't think that holds water in the HD pickups market. The "Cummins" name and the...
LOL, thank you! Its nice to see someone who can discuss and debate in a rational way. As for lumping I6 into a category of "peaky torque...
Good points, that's what I meant about warranty/liability concerns. Still, even 15 years ago, when you are getting paid to work with your...
Hmm, no idea, just an Edge thing I guess. I just grabbed those charts since they were easy to find, showed the stock torque I was mentioning...
Bobby: It's not my "journey", it's a statement of opinion that I try to back up with my "facts" as I understand them rather than resort to sad...
Cat: You seem to think I'm slamming the CTD, I'm really not. I'm only saying that the V8 design is better suited to the typical (but certainly...
I've gone over my views on it in other posts, but I'll give a short(ish) version again. At least shorter than the others taken separately… ;)...
And a magnet on your fuel line is worth 10 hp and 1.5 mpg. Add a swirly thing on the top of the intake and pick up another 15 hp and 2 mpg. Or,...
LOL, I have a collar, and a chain, just ask my wife... :D Sorry, didn't mean to overwhelm you. Let me see if I can summarize to keep it short...
Separate names with a comma.
