    Question on Allison spin on BRAND

    Well, I stopped at Merchant Automotive this morning and picked up a couple filters. Low and behold, they are red again. The gentleman that waited on me did confirm that they had been black for awhile, but their last shipment had them in red again.

    Question on Allison spin on BRAND

    I read on Merchant Auto website last night that supply issues on the red color had forced the use of black paint. I’ll see for sure when I swing in there in a couple of weeks and pick filters up from them.

    Question on Allison spin on BRAND

    Thanks for the quick replies. I had a feeling they were inferior knock offs. No, I DO NOT cheap out on taking care of the truck. Filters would be the absolute last thing I cheap out on. Thanks again.

    4WD not working?

    I`m hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. On my 08 4x4 Dmax, the 4 WD is not working, and the message "Service 4 Wheel Drive" is on the DIC. It is in 2 WD, but will not shift into 4 Hi or 4 Lo. I checked the fuse in the underhood box, and it is fine. When I first turn on...

    Looking for advice for EFI

    Hi everyone. I`ve been following what you guys all do for several years now. I have finally decided that I would like to get EFI Live for my totally stock truck, for slightly enahnced towing power and the turbo brake feature. The main question I have is: Is there a means for installing EFI...

    CP4 Problems?

    Just curious if anyone has had or heard of any issues with the 11/12 DMax CP4 pumps? I`ve read about several failures on the Ford 6.7, but have not heard of many GM issues.
