Just like I’m sure that Ford expects anyone who was going to buy a Taurus (at retail) will simply get an Edge or an Explorer.

The award considers the level of parts availability and on-time delivery, and encourages service centres to regularly send staff for technical training on the latest Bosch technology.

In a world now controlled by smartphones, they too can serve as a means of monitoring your truck’s powertrain vitals. Why not? We already use them for everything else. Thanks to the products offered by companies like EZ Lynk and SCT (the Auto Agent and iTSX, respectively) you can also tune your truck’s ECM using your phone. You simply plug the pass-through device that provides a Wi-Fi access point into the OBD-II port, download the app, turn your Bluetooth setting on and you’re on your way. As far as ’08-newer Fords, ’11-‘17 GMs and ’10-present Rams are concerned, EZ Lynk in particular has become one of the most popular methods of tuning a late-model Power Stroke, Duramax or Cummins diesel.

Nissan Navara – Very popular in the day so lots about now. But the Navara had long-term reliability issues and one with more than, say, 160,000km on board would make us very leery. 3 stars

To ensure the engine keeps humming for hours to come, it’s important to understand the fuel systems themselves, the advantages and disadvantages, the sensitivities of the systems, the impact contaminated fuel has and warning signs to look for.

Harris has added to his tractors a secondary inline Davco fuel filter into the fuel delivery sequence. This provides additional cleaning up front and adds a visual cue for technicians to see if it’s getting clogged, he said.

The process of feeding boosted air into the heads as effectively and restriction free as possible is another area of the Duramax that the aftermarket has improved upon. This polished intake manifold from Wagler Competition Products gets rid of all the factory Y-bridge parts and provides a direct pathway for air to smoothly feed into the heads. A twisted, T4 flange pedestal (also from Wagler) and 68mm turbo from Precision Turbo & Engine is also incorporated at the rear of the manifold.

To tie all of the main bearing caps together and add more block stiffness, main bearing girdle kits are available from both SoCal Diesel and Industrial Injection. The one shown is produced by Industrial Injection, and includes a girdle, modified lower crankcase and baffle assembly, and ARP main studs, washers, and nuts.

Better yet – my 740 turbo wagon died on the road one day because: (wait for it)…a small, straight piece of metal (looked like a piece of capacitor lead) that for some reason was mounted on the gauge cluster’s PCB (backside) fell off hitting a bump and shorted out the tach – immediately killing the electrical to the engine. Very experience Volvo mech almost lost his mind trying to fix this crank-no-start. Found that – removed it – car started right up. All this @ 28 years old. But at least the sunroof seal is still supple and no leaks!

23. After some tuning, the best pull, with 29-degrees of timing, was 416 hp at 6,100 rpm and 394 lb-ft at 5,700 rpm. Best of all, the torque curve is fairly flat with over 300 lb-ft from 2,900 rpm on up. That’s great power from a budget engine that roughly displaces 327 cubic inches.
