    THIS is a towing rig

    That truck motor is pretty big. I worked on railroad locomotives, those engines are V16 two stroke diesel and put out 4000 HP at full throttle and there aren't any time limits at that power either. They are about 12 feet long and take a 20 ton crane to lift into a locomotive body.

    LBZ: AirDog II Install

    Has anyone encountered a leak at the fitting for the fuel return going to the tank? I installed my ADII several months ago and the fitting at the pump that routes the excess fuel back to the tank inlet leaks. Is there supposed to be a seal on that hose prior to putting it into its seat? I...

    Allison 6sp: torque converter clunk

    I did some more research about the driveline bump and what everyone else is describing is exactly what I encounter. I won't worry too much about it from now on. Yes I saw that there is some lubing that can be done to spline shafts and monkeying with driveline parts but now I know its an...

    LMM: Stainless oil, fuel and tranny filters

    Ok, here is the latest on my quest to get a good stainless filtration system in my truck. I discovered the parts to build my own dual filtration system, using oil filters of my chosing. There were several manufacturers of oil bypass filtration systems but you have to specifically use THEIR...

    Allison 6sp: torque converter clunk

    I have noticed that the torque converter 'clunks' when it locks and unlocks, when it is cold it is more noticeable. Some of the time I can't hear or feel it but other times it is apparent. It clunks when it unlocks if I've made a quicker stop and then when I release the brakes it will do the...

    Question: Who on here has been unhappy with results using Amsoil?

    LOL, fanbois.... Yes I read the article and it was enlightening. I was on the AMSOIL site last week researching CJ-4 oil and their recommendation was to change it at the manufacturers intervals. And so guess what? This AMSOIL fanboi sees a bit more sense in just using dino oil and saving the...

    Question: Who on here has been unhappy with results using Amsoil?

    I"m truly surprised that you got that much use out of your oil. I tried folllowing the AMSOIL 35k oil plan, just changing the filter every 12k miles and I got oil rings that seized up. Even the AMSOIL burned off at rate of 50 miles per quart or less in its final years of my owning that vehicle...

    Question: Who on here has been unhappy with results using Amsoil?

    True dat but it's still under warranty and I don't want anyone to deny a warranty claim for any reason until my warranty is in fact expired. I understand the dealers are pretty vigilant about screwing people over, so I kind of need to wait on the DPF delete. :o)

    Fuel Mileage

    I am running just about everything stock in my 08. In a recent trip of 2wd paved two lane, 4wd dirt/mud, and 2wd freeway I got a mixed mileage of 17.1. Not towing anything that is.

    LMM: Stainless oil, fuel and tranny filters

    thanks I am mainly interested in the oil filtering myself but I discovered the possibiltiy of the fuel and transmission too the other day. Check out a cheap ultrasonic cleaner, they are in the $2xx neighborhood for the size of oil filters. Utilized with carbueretor cleaner the ultrasonic...

    LMM: Stainless oil, fuel and tranny filters

    Correction.....that is Pure Power stainless filters. Anyway, the manufacturer isn't really important, just just trying to see who else uses the stainless filters and what experience you've had with them.

    LMM: Stainless oil, fuel and tranny filters

    Has anyone used or are using Pureflow stainless steel oil, fuel or transmission filters? I work in aviation and stainless filters are used in the fuel system. Yes, this is jet fuel, very similar to diesel. I have run stainless oil filters in my bikes without any issues. I like the fact that...

    Question: Who on here has been unhappy with results using Amsoil?

    Ha, this is funny. I'm not an ex telemarketer and am fully employed. I don't push Amsoil on anyone. In fact I had a bad experience with Amsoil myself with a gas engine. I ran a brand new car on Amsoil after the first two oil changes on it till 145k. When I got rid of the car it was getting...

    LMM: Wheeee! another new guy to the forum, snxxxx

    Yes, cleaner fuel is the main reason I am looking at the airdog system. With the varied nature of fuel at stations and all the problems associated with water and air in the fuel I want to be able to supply the truck with the cleanest fuel I can. I live in WY and we don't have emissions testing...

    HI all. I"m new to owning a diesel machine. I purchased a 08 Sierra 2500 with the Duramax/Allison combo. If anyone has any info regarding the Airdog II installation and reliability I would appreciate it. Yes I know about the pollution control stuff and that it can be a pain in the arse. I...
