Yes, I think you should go for the 15W40. Try the Amsoil 15W40 before abandoning it. Its great oil. From there, its a matter of finding the...
Basically, expect a larger usable rpm band. Your stock truck governs out @ 2600-2700 rpms. Now you will have full power to 3k. No more power...
I like the CFM+ units, and the BD units are good too. Personally, I would put on the CFM+. There is a difference. I know a shop a ways from...
Silly question, but are you using the right oil? 15W40?
Towing is part of what saved your transmission. Se, loaded, you apply more throttle, which ramps up the throttle valve pressure, and helps shifts...
My twins keep me plenty cool with lots of power. Defiently, look at teh Super B single or Special. The single is upgradeable to the twins kit later.
136K miles, I would save your cash and go for the full rebuild. Good chance with that much mileage that the clutches will be on their way out....
Welcome to the Rig! how about some pics of that truck?
I dont think they will change the body too much. Wouldnt make any sinec to have that short of like span on the body. They could do better on the...
No i havn't done one yet, but like any other engine I have been around, I would go with the driver side ex-maqnifold. About right where the up...
Well, I am kinda biased towards Amsoil. I use and abuse it and it just holds up. Had nothing but great luck with it. As for lubes, here ya go -...

ONly thing I can think of is the HX35/40 hybrid. I don't really like this turbo much. The HX35 shaft is a little small for the HX40 wheel and it...
Its been a very enjoyable year hear with everyone. We have met some great people and had some fun times. We look forward to meeting more Diesel...
You are fine to do it now. Previously, Amsoil engine oil was good for 15K miles in Diesel Pickups. Due to the new emissions equipment and the...
Yeah, have the dealer look at it. Also, a good habit is to start the truck in N. In N the fluid flows, just no pressure applied to any clutch...
Welcome!! Questions are always welcome and there are no dumb questions! Fire away!
Yeah, its about time. Dave builds a damn nice converter, don't he?
As long as it takes for it to slip. Bands aren't really all THAT critical to worry about unless the transmission is slipping. Its not a bad idea...
Navistar is pissed now. But hey, what can you do? Ford has been suffering since the 6.0 didnt work out like should have so they are gearing up to...
