    Best Programmer

    What do you guys think about HyperTech Power Programmer's? I saw a couple used ones on e bay? Which also brings me to my next question. Is it ok to buy these used? Anything I should be aware of? Thanks again.

    Best Programmer

    I have an 04 LB7. I'm wanting to install a programmer. I need some input on which one I should get. I don't do any racing or anything like that. I haul hay and farm equipment in some pretty hilly areas. It does great completely stock but I would some additional power at an economical price...

    Radio Upgrade

    This is the first truck I have owned that had the controls in the steering wheel. They are really convenient. I use them more than I thought I would.

    Radio Upgrade

    I've been researching Crutchfield's website and noticed that some radios are made for the steering wheel controls and some are not. I will continue to check it out. Thanks for the info.

    Steering wheel radio controls?

    Mine are out too. Can someone send a link to the write up? I have quite a bit of preventative maintenance to do just as soon as the weather breaks.

    Radio Upgrade

    That would be great. I would like to know what I need to get to make sure it works correctly. Thanks again.

    Radio Upgrade

    I'm wanting to upgrade my radio in my 04', but I have the steering wheel mounted controls for the stock radio. My question is that will these controls still work with an aftermarket radio? I hate to put in a new radio and the controls on the steering wheel not work, I've grown accustomed to...

    4WD Issues

    I found out what my problem was. I lifted the front end off of the ground and throughly inspected the front end. Both upper ball joints are out, there is a lot of slop when I rock my tires up and down. There is also a lot of play in my idler arm. Replacement parts about $200 bucks, not too...

    4WD Issues

    I'm not really accelerating that hard, just normal driving up and down country roads. It does it in the turns and straightaways. I'm gonna try and give it good look this afternoon or tomorrow.

    4WD Issues

    Ok, so we got about 6 inches of snow last night and while I was in 4WD today I noticed some awful "thud" sounds and major vibrations coming out of the front end. It seems to only do it when the front end is pulling, not when coasting or anything and it does not do it in 2wd. The tires bounce...

    REAL World MPG's

    That does suck. I got a '04 with the LB7 and I pulled an older Powerstroke about 350 miles, and I think I was getting around 15 mpg at around 70 mpg in Tow/Haul mode. It was all pratically interstates. I think I even got about 17 mpg with the empty trailer. The truck is completely stock. My...

    New shop needs lift

    Here's something totally off subject, but I feel is a must in a new shop. I live in SE Missouri so our winters can be pretty chilly, and of course you want heat in your shop. I live in a pretty rural area and we use wood stoves a lot, in our shops and in homes. A buddy of mine has water pipes...

    Low Coolant

    I'm in the process of changing the pump, I've ran into a problem. How does the fan assembly come off? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

    Low Coolant

    I assume the Harmonic Balancer nut has left-handed threads? Can anyone confirm? The temps here aren't supposed to get out of the 20's this weekend, but hopefully I can take it to my buddy's shop and get the dang thing switched out.

    Low Coolant

    If the weather holds out this weekend, I am going to put it on. Hope it solves my coolant problem.

    Low Coolant

    I got my water pump today, it is just the pump itself and not the housing, I assume the housing comes off and then the pump itself is just inside. It looks pretty simple if that is all it is. Is this how they are usually sold?

    Low Coolant

    I tried accessing the link, but it says my username and pasword isn't correct. I don't know why, I am logged in now. I just joined the forum, so maybe it won't let me access older threads. I will try again in a bit. Does the radiator have to come out to get the water pump out? It looks...

    Low Coolant

    I'm picking up a water pump tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it put in this weekend and my problem is solved. Is it as simple as everyone has said it is? Any tricks of the trade I should know about? I saw the only big problem was the crank bolt.

    Low Coolant

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and thought I would ask a question regarding a coolant leak. I have searched the forum and read about all I could find about the various coolant leaks. I have a '04 Duramax with 115,000 miles on it. Truck runs great, never hot. I have noticed a small coolant...
