The used vehicle market is completely whack right now. MrMarty's link is a good example of that. Try looking at asking prices for Ferds of the same era and it will really blow the mind. Some of them push into the mid $20K range. At the moment this nuttiness is due to shortages of new...

Got some bad news. That line was crossed. And not a single shot was fired. Despite a driver's license physically sitting in your wallet, RealID turned it into a digital ID complete with facial recognition ability, fingerprint(s) and financial account information. Oh, and it is RFID readable...

Yes, I totally get peer pressure. And that is exactly why I got the nearly new SUV which which replaced the Burb. Wife never liked the Burb. Only really got the newer SUV as I knew the wife would love it and I was tired of the Burb needing too much unscheduled love. The newer thing had...

There are two ways to look at this: 1) Will repairs exceed the vehicle's value. 2) Investing in future use of a reliable platform with the intent to keep as long as possible. Caveat is that spare parts remain commonly available. Only downside to this path is whether any of today's technology...

Could not see from the photos on whether there was a ECT sensor in the head. Or more specifically, if one is not in the port by cylinder #8, might consider this. Benefits are twofold. Serves as a stand-by should the primary ECT sending unit by unplugging from #1 and connecting to the port...

Yowza... Digging-up a 9-1/2 year old thread. I guess we will see if the OP even still has the vehicle. But, Welcome to TTS! :)

I think this was it: https://www.tinytach.com/diesel-tinytach

Isn't there a gizmo which straps to one of the injection lines and is able to measure the fuel pulse? IIRC, Leroy had them for sale for a while.

Chicken! :D Afraid of eating some steamed crabs instead of boiled like they do in the Low Country? :) :) :)

Rustoration is on a veeeerrrryyyy sllllooooowwww track. Have the truck in parts and am waiting on the shop owner for the body work. Body work is done as a side business and there is already another vehicle in the way. So, just waiting this one out. In the interim, I am running an OBS Ferd...

Only thing missing now is to put it in the engine bay so that nobody sees it :D

Did somebody mention shed steer? Lets watch Nate soup this thing up! :D

X-2 for focusing on the IP. Try the RPM test by slowly pressing the throttle to increase RPM's to 2,000, hold for a few seconds, and slowly release. Repeat 10 times (not kidding) - If the RPM's smoothly match the throttle inputs (ie: RPM's perfectly track the throttle) on each cycle, IP is...

At the risk of insulting, watch the slope trajectory. Last thing you'll want is for a heavy downpour to direct ground water *at* the house. And, am seeing an awesome sledding hill in the making :)

Well, I guess that solves the mystery of why all the buzzards followed your car around :)

I run one, but it is in a completely different engine known for leftover sand from the casting which works lose over time. It is just a plane filter (no additive tablets / membranes) which works in the same manner as a stand-alone bypass filter as Will described. Have not seen any real need...

Apologies for tardiness to the game. Looks like the technical issue was addressed. One last consideration is to look into having the tablet do a complete system wipe and start fresh to clear out any conflicting add-on gunk. No real harm in going this route, but make sure to offload any files...

Ok, so now I know where to go when looking for a group of folks who either full of 'it', or know their 'it' :D

MMmmmmmmm... Vegetable garden... Nothing better for attracting venison to pack in the freezer for those cold winter days :D

Welcome to TTS! IIRC, GM's dually configuration from that era were an attorney's manna from heaven as the brakes were under-powered which resulted in collisions when loaded heavy. As noted, the stated plans are known to have the opposite effect on goals, so please help the community understand...
