I helped a friend do a top end on their motor. For the first few hours everything was fine. Then it wouldn't spin over 7000 rpm. What they found is that the exhaust valve actuator starts rapidly opening and closing at 7000 rpm. Anyone know what would cause this? There are no codes coming up?
Let's see what you got. I rolled 200k on the 17 F350 and averaging 76.5km/h without idling and 69 with. Those idle hours must accumulate just sitting at a light, l don't 'idle' it as much as that would imply.

Got a friend looking to buy a truck and here's the scenario:
She lives in the city and it would be the sole means of transportation
Active lifestyle with daily short trips to gym, store, boyfriend's etc
Self employed, work involves traveling from gig to gig mostly in the city, a few times a...
So we have our crew all on Baofengs now but we're finding some people are really hard to understand, especially the ladies. I suspect speaker mic quality is the issue. Radios were sourced from various places. Apparently l am one of the easiest to make out. My setup came from Roy at Baofeng...
Have a buddy that the dealer is telling him he needs $5k in EGR maintenance. The truck is out of warranty. Can he just remove the exhaust stuff and add a program or does the EGR stuff need to come off? He doesn't care about extra power at all, just wants reliability. Any gained fuel economy is a...
Am l blind or did they got rid of a lot of subcategories? There's no separate sled parts category anymore. You can't filter by sled brand?
I was trying to do a tire search and that was a lot harder than l remember.
We've got some novice riders tagging along lately and they are getting some of the skills down. I've been doing this for a long time and they were asking me why side-hilling and powder turns are easier to the left? I think most riders feel the same. It may be because engines are typically offset...
I've seen a few guys carrying short nylon straps with loops in each end. Great for saving from lifting from your ankles. They are short enough to leave attached to the stuck sleds ski loop after a pull. Where are people picking these up?
I have a friend with a dream of living on the road. I think winter would be a problem even if the unit is winterized. Has anyone ever done this?
I think if you had a permanent spot with hookups and hoarded it in you might have a chance. Moving around day to day has got to be a challenge. What...
A friend put one of these bumpers on the front of a stock 2015 and it sunk about 3". Any suggestions on getting it back up? Or even better a little higher than stock.
A coworker's engine locked up and the dealer diagnosed it as a bad headgasket (hydro-locked). It is out of warranty and they are quoting $10k for the repair! Anyone have experience with this? It's in Edmonton.
Any TDI owners on here?
It's funny listening to all the talk on the radio. Some of the 'experts' are so clueless on the clean diesel subject. There's no doubt the lawyers are salivating.
If they come out with a fix I foresee many owners saying 'no way are you going to wreck my mileage' I'll...
Just got home from three days in Sicamous and my truck was gone. It was parked on the service road like everyone else.
This thing was my baby, not many of them left on the road. I have done lots of power mods to the Powerstroke and kept it up well.
It is insured but I know the book value will...
