I just checked Dyno Jet's web site for performance parts for the 500 EFI and could not find any information. Is there any other companies that makes programmers or ECMs for the 500 EFI?

Turbo diesel engines will run fine on a lean fuel air mixture...completely opposite of a turbo gas engine where a lean mixture will melt pistons and valves. The more fresh air into a turbo diesel engine the better they run.

No one has mentioned trying to haul overloads in my thread. There are many half ton hauling posts where they try to justify hauling overloads. I have a perfect truck for hauling a new 40+ foot toy hauler and not overload it. If I had purchased a short box truck with single rear wheels then the...

I saw on another post that you got your new unit. We would love to see some pics of your new truck and trailer. Good luck with your new toys! I was checking out some of the Forest River products online. They must have updated a few pages as I found a few new floor plans that were not there...

Pics please! Sounds like you have an excellent truck and trailer combination. Does your new truck have the new 6.7 Ford diesel? :beer: Good luck with your new toys! :thumbsup2:

I will bet that there are people already working on ways to defeat the urea injection systems on the newer vehicles. I am not convinced that the engineers are on the right track with many of the latest so called advances in emission control systems. They sure failed miserably with the 2008 6.7...

I can deal with a lot of BS to save 15,000 to 20,000 dollars! But it sounds pretty easy to bring one in from the US. So no duty? Just the import fee and GST? Cool! Did you purchase a toy hauler? If so, what did you get and what is the dealership you delt with? Thanks for all the excellent...

Very sad and yet also very mad about many issues in this case. We have been keeping our eyes open when we have been traveling. Our hearts go out to the family members involved in this strange mystery.

Cyle, do you run a 5.9CTD? The 6.7 can run all day long at 1600 degrees. The pistons were designed to run that hot to help the emission system burn the soot out of the DPF. I have found my Edge to be pretty accurate when compared along with analog gauges. They have updated many things over the...

Sweet sounding trailer! You are going to love your new truck/trailer combination! When our "red neck 5th wheel toy hauler" is loaded it is around the same weight. I stopped at a scale and the truck and trailer combo was just about 21,000lbs. Behind the slip tank I pack as much as I can into the...

If your new truck has the 6.7 you won't be dissapointed with the torque and hp when towing. It is night and day difference over the hemi! How big is your toy hauler? You might still only get 10 mpg towing but it won't slow down for hills unless you want to! Let us know how it works for you...

Nice parts combination with your awesome car! I have been building my own engines since I was 14. I was taught to try and match up the parts for the engine/trany/gears build up as best you can. Who ever built the car did well with matching things up. What are you planning for your next mod? What...

We go to the pie shaped area south of Cranbrook that is between hwy 95 and hwy 93...west side of the lake a few kms from the new bridge by the marina. I am sure you could find some steep trails if you look but we have not found much extreme stuff around there. It is quite tame if you compare...

We have been going there for many years. Usually it is very dusty so we bought bandanas one year to wear when we go riding down there. Mostly old logging roads around there but there are lots of trails also. Nothing very challenging for hills as I recall which makes it a nice place to go riding...

Are you planning on purchasing a brand new truck? If so you may want to do some research into them first. One of the problems with the new ones (Ford, Chev and Dodge) is that they ALL have a very poor emission control system. One of the worst things that they EVER put on a diesel engine is an...

My buddy took me for my first ride in a RZR over the Canada long weekend down in Crowsnest Pass. We went out on some steep trails that we were quading on earlier that day. I was interested in how it rode on rough and steep terrain. The ride was a lot smoother than I thought it would be. When we...

When I went looking at new and some used toy haulers I did not find any decent deals. Most of them are priced at 20-50% more than prices at US sales outlets. I believe that it just too much for us to justify spending. My father went straight to the manufacturer to purchase a Prowler holiday...

I get around 20 mpg empty and around 14 mpg pulling a 12,000 lb 5th wheel trailer with my 08 3500 6.7 CTD dually. Before mods though it was pretty poor on fuel. I was getting around 10 mpg empty. I can go 600 kms while towing my flat deck so I am a lot happier. The hemi trucks were not very good...

I rechecked using the internet and I believe the truck is rated to haul 5130 lbs. When I purchased the truck back in 2007 I thought it was rated to haul 5500 lbs. I have not even come close to that much weight on the truck. Even when I have had my 5th wheel flat deck trailer maxed out for weight...

I seriously doubt that it would perform very well off road in deep snow or mud. That machine is extremely heavy and cumbersome. I have taken many pics of many types of machines stuck that everyone thought were "unstuckable". lol
