Back on to the PSD's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I turned 100,000 miles on our way back from Pismo Sunday. I like it when you can remember milestones like that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was approaching the Cuesta Grade, getting ready for the long haul to go up and over it. Look forward to the next 100,000 miles

 

i love mine it hauls @$$. tows great, got 37000 on it

 

are you crazy keep on going up.

 

ya, back on the psd topic, i had some wierd problems today. I stalled a few times, on a steep hill. I'd get it to re-start, it'd move 10 feet, and just die. so i pulled the chip, and it kept acting the same way. managed to limp home by re-starting and moving ahead in 10 foot increments.

so then i go out again (still no chip). it starts to sputter and is puking out blue/grey smoke big time. i can hammer the gas pedal, and it has zero affect, just keeps chugging along, coughing out heavy smoke. so, any thoughts on what this problem might be?

BTW, great to see ya back Ned!! say hi to marge and the rest of the gang for us.

 

No, I just want my ranch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] to drop to a price I can afford[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It's outrageous to think 3 acres of land is worth $400,000[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] with nothing on it.

 

Sounds like the fuel problem. I know this is probably a stupid question(s) but, you've changed the fuel filter recently? drained the water separater? Sounds like the fuel modular is going out.
Maybe Creator will step in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and offer his wisdom[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

My '88 Ford F150 4X4 just turned 100,000 miles on the last trip home from miami trails. Is it OK to mention a non diesel Ford in here? I wish I could help out on the diesel problems but its not my deal (yet). It does sound fuel related though.

 

You can get 20 acres up here for less than $200,000 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Welp, I got the In-Dash Nav installed yesterday in the efftufeddy.
This thing is pretty sweet. It gives voice commands and all that good stuff. The DVD quality is great.
Its a little difficult to find what all the functions are but im learning.
The hard part is gonna be to teach the parents. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

For future reference the wires one needs to find in the truck are:
The Speed Sensor wire: Behind the glove box the Cruise Control box sits up under the dash on the right side. Theres a large(r) group of wires pluged in. The wire is the small grey one with a black stripe.
Reverse Gear/Light wire: I found it on the passenger side under the door sill in a REALLY HUGE bundle of wires. Its a small black wire with a pink stripe.
Parking Brake sensor: I just grounded this wire. Much easyer.

Should be getting the XM reviever next week so everything will work togather.

 

Flushing the system is a good thing to do since it replaces the fluid stuck in the lines, trans coolers, and torque convertor but you still have to drop the pan and replace the trans filter! It's very important or else it can still have a hard time sucking fliud through and burn up the trans.
