    LMM: power steering issue

    You have changed the fluid, correct? If not, flush out all old fluid, be sure to bleed the air out of the system, and then decide if there is still a problem.

    2500 vs 3500

    16K requires a 1 ton. Don't go the 3/4 ton for something that heavy.

    Help: Play in trailer tongue.

    Is the play between the hitch and the ball or in the ball mount to truck hitch? If it's the latter, I have used a bolt to secure the ball mount to the hitch. Just drill through the hitch with a little room to spare, then on the ball mount, thread it to the size of your bolt. Tighten the bolt...

    service trailer brake system

    I sent you some general info about the ITBC system. See PM. May be of help, maybe not. At least you'll have a general idea of what's going on with the system. Good that what you did seemed to do the trick. Only wish they were all that easy.

    Cooler Coil Cleaning?

    Just did this job this week. I have not tried this specific product, Coil Cleen by Landmark Wax. I note that it is made to be used on bare metal coils (condensers, etc) and in our trucks, the radiator is painted and the A/C Condenser is also painted. I have no idea if this is a problem with...

    Towing. Anyone use WD bars?

    I haven't seen or heard of that anywhere. I'm looking at the 2008 Silverado brochure and don't see anything that says tow rating is less with WD hitch. In looking at my hitch, the weight capy of the hitch itself goes UP if using WD. Look here:

    Allison 5sp: Why mount tranny coolers the way they are???

    When the fluid returns from the cooler to the transmission, doesn't it just go into the pan to be mixed with all the other fluid held there??

    lmm stock brake controller when in reverse

    I ASSUME that the trailer brakes work in reverse, but now that you ask, I really haven't tested them to know for sure. You have the ITBC or aftermarket controller?

    long haul driving help

    I think you've got the understanding you need. Oil change, fuel filter change, transmission fluid and spin on, differential(s) fluids changes, all depending on when they were last done. Also check the air filter. Use some fuel supplement, Howes, Diesel Service - whatever you like and is...

    Camper Causing Truck To Limp. P0087 Code

    The thing that seems to be common in the P0087 situation is HOT FUEL. It just doesn't seem to happen when the fuel is 160* but at 170* and above there are problems. If the fuel stays cool, no P0087. Clean the fuel cooler under the truck. And I've been thinking that it might be worth it to...

    LMM: Fuel line pinch

    DEFINITELY could be the problem. Replace the line with something more stout and one that will not kink even when hot.

    Camper Causing Truck To Limp. P0087 Code

    Interesting. Hot fuel. Any idea if the fuel heater in the fuel filter/heater element housing was staying on all the time? Or what the actual temp of the fuel was when the problem was occuring? Sure is good to hear that someone fixed their P0087 problem. Lot's of others have not.

    Camper Causing Truck To Limp. P0087 Code

    Below is some information I have collected from various sources and by no means is it an exhaustive list of causes/solutions for P0087. Personally, I think that the heat in the fuel is the cause of the problem, but what to do about it is unknown. I have never read of anyone who measured the...

    Do I need a modded cp3?

    I don't see a lift pump i your signature, so if you don't have one, that would be a 'must', in my opinion. Might as well add an aux filter also - Tank, then filter then pump. If the fuel rail runs dry, your engine isn't running. That's how the fuel gets to your injectors. No fuel, no run...

    IBC need more braking force

    NO doubt the problem has been solved now, one way or the other. As far as the ITBC goes, when it's working correctly, it's a great controller. One thing of note is that there is a pressure sensor in the master cylinder (on the engine side) that sends signals based on the brake line...

    Cooling/coolant issues

    It's pretty obvious that you are loosing coolant SOMEWHERE, and you already know that it isn't easy to find the leak. 1 qt coolant added in 500 miles is not a big leak. I suggest that you spend some time with your personal sniffer, maybe some friends and your wife also, and go over your truck...
