    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    Interesting...I'll have to give it a shot next time. Though, I dont think anything I've got would really stress this 2500 in any way.

    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    How so? I pulled about 6k a few weeks ago on the 4th weekend, and I generally only use 87...I didnt have any knocking or anything....

    Taking a road trip - any ideas or recommendations?

    Check your spare and more importantly check the hoist.... Those junkers can be your biggest challenge. Ah damn, beat me to it. But I'm gonna leave it.

    BG Products dynamic engine cleaner....snake oil?

    Well you gotta bring 3 oil filters for this process. So they kinda cover that angle.

    BG Products dynamic engine cleaner....snake oil?

    I would say its a time component. This stuff gets your junk clean in a day. ATF will take a couple thousand miles to really make any impact. Sandpaper versus a chainsaw.

    yeah you have to go to a retailer and they will do the 'service'.... but seems readily available.

    BG Products dynamic engine cleaner....snake oil?

    I dont have a problem at the moment. I already threw everything at my motor over the years to clean it out. This seems like a more comprehensive system and process, and I just opened it up for discussion as there have been countless other discussions about 'snake oil' products.

    WeatherTech Floor Mat fix...

    My drivers side weather tech mat is a mess right under the e brake pedal. Because I actually use my ebrake, it catches the side of the mat and it deforms it a bit. I took a heat gun to it a few weeks ago, and it was better for a few days but ended up just the same shortly after. I was pretty...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Oil change today...back to supertech 5w30 and a KN filter. Hoping to get it to the exhaust shop this week to get these exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts replaced. I love the combination of the stuff I've learned from communities over the years. With my fumoto oil drain valve, and the hints...

    Which Rotella is best for my 2007 Tahoe?

    Im just putting my final thoughts in here. I love rotella. It's cheap, generally works great and I was super excited to move to the rotella gas truck product. However, they are pretty proud of that product. The REGULAR price of the 5 qt of rotella 5w30 gas truck is about 40 dollars. I think...

    Anyone use detroit axle parts?

    Haters gon' hate. I get that you get what you pay for... But I also understand that in reality, people are more likely to piss and moan whereas the guy who gets a part and it does what it's supposed to, isn't going to go out of his way to speak up about a normal, expected experience.

    Anyone use detroit axle parts?

    I mean it's a hard choice. I pulled the trigger on two of Em... Even if they get 2 years down the line I can budget for other more premium brands. But whats the difference in Chineseum parts. Master craft or Detroit axle, both are Chinese crap that will bust in a year or two.

    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    That suuuuucks.. Damn those 5.4s. My buddy talked me out of doing plugs on his expedition with a 5.4...i can't say I didn't call him a little ***** a few times until i started seeing the truth of those spark plugs..... Shudder.

    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    My mechanic told me the exact opposite. I had a 4.0 V6 explorer and he thats the one you want. Which made no sense to me because I had a crown vic with the 4.6.... But he did have a sport track with the v8 that needed a new motor in his lot so I guess there's that.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I probably spilled 3 or 4 quarts in my explorer some years ago. I had a large tote of about 6 or 7 gallon bottles of dirty oil to recycle. Tossed them in the hatch, and headed to O'Reillys. Came up on a stop sign a little too quick and the whole tote rolled forward. I think I lost the lids to...

    Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?

    How long have you had it? I did all the snake oil stuff you referred to... Including the kreen. My suggestion is throw in a quart of atf and drive it like you stole it. Also, I know you say you're certain it's lifters..... But like you've been told before it certainly could be an exhaust...

    Anyone use detroit axle parts?

    I bought a couple of front hub/bearings on ebay last week. Advertised as moog, but not anywhere near it. Moog is very pro-moog in their marketing and packaging, and these came in a plain yellow box. Sometimes, I dont mind using chinesey crap, but I want to KNOW I'm using it...not getting lied...

    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    Bah that really sucks. I really liked that generation of the f250/f350...but I heard the motor options were a nightmare.

    Can someone help with trailer braking?

    Wasn't it the 6.0 and the 6.4 that were the ones the avoid? The 7.3 and the newer 6.7s were the way to go if my ferd memory serves me. Whatever you get, you need to find a powerstroke custom shop. They'll know what to delete and fix to ensure the motor runs without issue. They have similar...

    The BEST exhaust manifold bolts?

    So quick dumb question on this one..... I got the arp 134-1102 bolts that are flanged and come with washer. Do I actually use the washers on the manifold install?

    Yukon Denali 6.2 towing Travel Trailer

    Just everytime I think I'm in the clear.....shit goes sideways. I'm getting tired of it. After it came back from trans rebuild...get 3 months down the road, and the MAF circuit goes out and have to get that fixed up. Now the damn exhaust manifold is leaking, again. I'm hoping after new wheel...

    Anyone know what this is - or what it does - or if it's OEM???

    This is far less entertaining than the device I found hooked up in the steering column of my explorer years ago. I bought the thing from a small car lot locally, and there was never a lein on it. Some color me surprised when I found a little GPS lte device hooked up under the steering wheel...
