My cruise control wont work but in the past few weeks it would set and hold speed for about 5 seconds and then it would shut off, and now it wont do anything, any ideas?
Also with the price of diesel going up i was wondering if a 50/50 mix of ATF and diesel would be ok, the past owner ran that mix for a long time and assures me that it will be good, What do you all think of that?
Also how many of you all have aftermarket tranny coolers, can you all post pictures, also what kind of improvment does it give, Do you all reccommend doing this?

 

what, do you have a secret stash of atf? i didn't think that stuff was cheap especially in the form of gallons

 

No i would get it used from some buddies of mine in 55 gallon drums for free

 

Horn work? Crunching noises from the steering column?

The 50/50 mix is a little heavy unless you work the truck pretty hard. I'd keep it down around 20%. Make sure you filter it first.

 

No there is no noises coming from the steering colm, What do you mean by work it pretty hard?

 

I thought used AT was a unles filtered REALLY good to remove the metal debris.

A properly sized AT cooler will make a difference, especially if you tow. It keeps my tranny in the safe range.

Do a search on the cooler for pics & details. Same on fuel mixtures, there's been a lot of arguments - I mean discussion of what to mix and how much.

 

Well with the stock cooler my transmission would run anywhere from 190-220 without towing. Then the transmission blew up!

Got the transmission redone with a nice sized transmission cooler and now i stay in the range of 145 on the transmission

 

Does the horn work?

If you run a lot of waste oil in a truck that runs around empty all the time, it tends to cause a lot of deposits on the injectors.

 

this is a discussion that some dtr guys are having about the topic, used motor oil, atf thats sorta stuff.

had the same problem with my dodge found out it was the brake sensor at the brake peddle kept on slipping off welded a little tab where the sensor touches the peddle and haven't had a problem since..Hope the help's

 

what do u need cruise control for anyways. just put a brick on the floor. it only goes 140 down hill lol. but then again i guess that and expensive ticket at 40 over. lol.

 

My truck is always above 3/4 tank so it is never totally empty when i put the used motor oil in it. Ill check on that brake sensor, my horn does work

 

I think when wanna means empty he means not loaded in the bed or a trailer.
