    adjustable brake proportional valve?

    Does anyone know if the OBD-2 program gives you access to the setting for the factory proportioning valve? It's supposed to have some extra functionality or higher function access than a lot of code readers out there.

    Got a few plans for maint and upgrades, opinions?

    I think there's a BC shop that's pretty well known mentioned on here as well. You may want to schedule a trip to Heath's when the dollar's above par again. Customs won't look under the hood, and what could they see new anyways after driving it for a few miles on the dirt road?:D

    Buying a Suburban - 6.5l vs Vortec

    Salepeople not answering about questions for a vehicle for sale on their lot? It might be sold and they haven't pulled it from on-line yet. Leave it right up until auction day? They might be getting a lot of local interest so there's no pressure to deal with someone far away? If a seller...

    need to find an injector shop in Dallas/Ft Worth to reset new injectors. Suggestions?

    What about shipping them to Kennedy, Heath or one of the other vendors. You're down for a few extra days, maybe. The local shop may be backed up for a while, so then it'd be wash almost. Sir Veyor

    If you search over at the other place, JASONSMACK has several comments/threads about the software, including some of the advanced features of the program. The website link is listed in a lot of the threads about it as well. Hope that helps, Sir Veyor

    Vendors with shops in northern US/Western Canada

    Hi All, I'm looking at taking my Burb from Cincinatti,OH to Edmonton, AB. I was thinking of stopping in at Kennedy's and maybe having them do some work on it as I was going by. From what I've read they're a top act and are very good with 6.5's. Anybody with negative views on Kennedy Diesel...

With 50 plug ins, all the lights, wleder plugs, etc. how big is your electrical panel? How much voltage are you running into the shop? Any three phase setups...

    I'm not just with stupid....I'm stupid! Yes it is WEST of Edmonton! I should know better, as telling the cardinal directions have a direct bearing on my paycheck. Proves once again the fingers are quicker than the brain. :iamwithstupid: I'll blow some smoke you're way if I'm in the area...

    Feel free to say...."I told you so"

    one way for a good mechanic... I understand the frustration level. Hit it with a few vehicles time and again. Now if having it worked on by a good/excellent 6.5 mechanic would keep you in the game, then here's an option. Apparently a guy coming to our company from Thunder Bay Ont to...

    a 28' toy hauler here I'm using a prodigy tekanosha? brake controller and a Reese equalizer hitch with sway bars. DO NOT get the "friction" sway control! It only reacts after the trailer starts to move, and the sway bars fight to keep the trailer from moving out of line. A much better...
