2008 chu can you in stall new steering box without removing radiator? Looks like I could remove fan an shroud.
-
Nope tanks are dry, i got in it this morning an the pedal feels normal. Let’s see how long that last.
-
2008 chu brake pedal got real soft, doesn’t won’t to stop good. We’ve replaced foot valve and the valve on cross member of the farm. Any ideas would be great. Thanks
-
I pulled the actuator and the lever moves freely. It’s got me puzzled, it running fine this morning.
-
2008 chu when you turn key on you can hear the actuator making a clicking noise. Well truck lost boost and no engine brake showed code for actuator. Took an had it replaced did great for about 2 days. Back to making the clicking noise while key is on. I checking connections to make sure pins weren’t loss. Even Check ones coming out of firewall. Started truck up ran great, next day back to the same ol shit. Sounds like it’s losing power and regaining it. Is there a relay for actuator?
-
Changed the thermostat and problem solved! Thanks FJH.
-
I’m not sure if that did or not.
-
Checked the egr it’s dry. I can leave cap off tank while up is at idle an the coolant will be at the top. When you shut the truck off coolant drops below add mark. I clapped lines going to compressor still the same.
-
No it’s the original one. I was thinking it could probably be egr or air compressor.

2008 Chu, first load of the morning the truck will run hot but cools right back down and after that doesn’t do it for the rest of the day. I’m getting pressure in the tank. I let the truck sit all weekend and on Monday I noticed the water was low. Well it had tons of pressure on it. Once the pressure was released the coolant level came back up. You can start the truck with coolant cap off and give it throttle and the coolant will pull way down and when you let off throttle it comes out like a volcano. cups an injectors were replaced back in June.

Ten4, thanks for the info. Truck pulls fine believe I will leave it alone lol.

2008 MP8, what temp does fan kick on? Mine comes on real slow at 215 in a hard pull and once it’s in high the water temp has reached 220 degrees. By that time the shit down light come on.
-
Is there anyway to test an eup?
-
Will do and thanks
-
I will put a gauge on it this evening an check it. What should the pressure be?
-
2003 427 has a rough idle until engine reaches normal running temp. It’s like it has a slight skip and while idling the truck shakes. Once you run it up to normal temp is smooths out. I’ve just recently installed new injectors and turbo, witch it had the problem before changing.
-
Ok thanks, someone was telling me I had to make sure it had the right cam before I could do it.
-
Looking to put Jakes on my 1997 CH. is there anything I need to check ordering a kit?
-
looks like cup problems, ran clear hose on the return side and lots of bubbles.
-
Ok thanks for the input. Headed to check it out now.
-
Truck is losing its prime within 5 mins of cutting it off. I ran a clear hose from the back of the head to the filter stand. I didn’t see any bubbles while run. I shut the truck off and you can watch air bubbles come up from the filter housing. Im not sure if it could be leaking from cups. Some times you can be in a pull and it will start to skip then clear up, it will also do it just sitting at an idle. Any pointers would be great. Thanks
-
Ten4.. thanks for the info. Believe I will order the stuff this week.
-
I pull logs with this truck and I’m thinking about doing the 2.5 and turbo. How is your temps on hard pulls?
-
2001 rd 688s shuts down starts right back up no codes

I had one do the same thing. Mine ended up being one of the power relays in dash. -
I’ve had one with a Detroit turbo. Seemed to do pretty good. Didn’t know much about it. Truck was set up that way when I got it. The id tag was missing off the side of the turbo so I have no clue was model it was. The truck I’ve got now is a 2003 CH with a 427 and it’s a slug. It’s got a 8LL with 4:17 rears.
