I live where roads do nothing but snake through the mountains, many switch back and a lot of hard 90 degree turns. andy@cougargulch.com (Red triton) Sat, 07 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/70/1/Lubrication-Additives-in-Oils/Page1.html Here is some information regarding Oil Additives for anyone that would like to know. andy@cougargulch.com (Wayne Amsoilman) Sat, 07 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/69/1/Hurst-T-Handle-Install/Page1.html I got a Universal Hurst T-Handle from my brother for Christmas and this is a write-up on the install. andy@cougargulch.com (General Diesel) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/68/1/PEAKS-Homemade-Whistler-intake-V-10/Page1.html I decided to pull my stock intake apart and this is what I came up with!!!!! I Started by pulling the lower (pictured below on the left) "L" bow off and remove the vanes inside (a whiteish/clearish plastic). I tried to pull it out with a pliers and that was not going to happen, so I twisted it until I was breaking it into pieces. This was really the only option for removal because it is held in by a "nub" on each end and the plastic grips very well onto the "L" bow. andy@cougargulch.com (Peak Stryde) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/67/1/Getting-the-Most-out-of-a-quotStackedquot-3rd-Gen-Dodge-Cummins/Page1.html I've been swamped with e-mails lately. Fellow owners having drivability problems, asking how to get the most from a stacked 3rd generation truck, or wondering why a particular "stack" wasn't performing to their expectations. So, I thought I would try to cover the problems that I've seen owners running into and some common sense approaches to getting the most from a stacked 3rd generation HPCR truck. I've tested ALL but two lines of boxes on my '03 HPCR and I'll be using my current selection of upgrades as they cover some of the more popular choices. I don't endorse my current choice of modification but they'll serve as good examples. martin1133@msn.com (Richard Gypsyman) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cumminsforum.com/articles/articles/66/1/Death-Wobble-Causes-and-Fixes/Page1.html I have not had the experience of the dreaded death wobble with my truck primarily due to the fact it is a 2wd. However, I have read where a lot of others with the 4wd have had the experience. The common problem seems to be a worn trac bar. I have also heard of worn ball joints contributing to the problem. andy@cougergulch.com (Tom 05) Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500
