Gottcha, thanks for the info.

My 04 would start to de-fuel/limp mode when the oil temp reached 278 degrees. I'm not really clear on why people focus on the 10-12 degree deltas on a 6.0, for example, yesterday I was driving a 2019 Volvo 780 truck at just shy of 80,000 lbs. My coolant temp was 189 degrees and the oil temp was...

How are your balljoints? My steering at slow speeds got much easier after I replaced the balljoints.

I had single chamber flo masters (series 40 iirc) on my 77 ford with a swapped in 390. At the time, everyone around here seemed to have flo masters. I really liked the sound but I highly recommend a crossover pipe when running them or you're gonna get popping when you let off the gas (don't...

I put the bilstein 5100's on also, huge improvement over the stock shocks. Im sure the icons or fox are a huge improvement over the bilstein but I like the lifetime warranty on the bilstein.

Those hydraulic tails are nice but they are pretty heavy. My father-in-law has a load trail that hauls his Volvo back hoe really well. I special ordered a load trail I beam frame tilt deck gooseneck for my skid steer. It's 83" between fenders so loading trucks is no problem. The issue I have...

I forgot to mention that I went with the Raybestos joints. They are grease-able and have a lifetime warranty. You mentioned he had a noise in the front end, while his ball joints could be bad, other things to check while there are sway bar end links and cab bushings.

I just did mine on my 04 with 164,000 miles. They were getting bad though. I took the knuckles out completely and used a press to remove and reinstall the ball joints. Just remember to torque the nuts on the joints to 70 ft/lbs, do not over tighten. It really helps to have that ATD tool for...

Ive got a set of paddle or sport or nemo or whatever else they are called mirrors that i took off my 04. Make me an offer. BTW...they have defrost and power

Drain your fluid into a bucket marked in quarts so you know exactly how much to put back in.

I thought my starter on my 04 went bad one morning getting ready to go to work, hit the key and the starter just spun without engaging the ring gear. I jumped in my wife's car and headed to carquest to get a replacement without even looking under my truck. When I got back home to replace the...

I used the 7.3 fan setup for awhile but didn't care for the extra fan noise. I went with the plow clutch instead. I have the adapter and a heavy duty 7.3 clutch if your interested

Unless you replace your FICM, your FICM will always be tuned regardless of how many times you change your PCM tune. I have a buddy that bought the whole FICM tuner and just paid PHP for an unlock on his tuner to tune my truck. I think it was $150. I really like how the atlas 40 performs on my truck.

I think you could also have a tune written to have your fan come on sooner like maybe 200 or so which would help pull some heat out of the oil. I've had my oil up at 278 before I did a oil cooler and other mods and that is when my truck would de-fuel.
