I don't think so. . .) PSD Newbie Question... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Harald" Subject: Re: V10 ping Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 07:58:15 -0700 My early 99 V10 would make a rattling sound (like marbles spinning around) from the torque converter as it shifted, especially when cold. Never had it looked at because I traded the truck in. It wasn't pinging from the engine. If your sound is in fact detonation, then something's wrong with the computer because it should retard timing to stop engine damage.

Recently I asked a question about fuel mileage on Diesels and one of you fine fellows said with the "Banks chip" he was getting outstanding mileage. I am familiar with Gale Banks and the turbo/exhaust kits they offer, but I can't find anything on any chip. Sounds interesting. Any details? thanks James ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2000 14:38:05 -0400 From: Caryl Lawrence Subject: Re: 97-up list: Back lit blue oval Hunter: I will certainly let you know how it goes installing the lit up oval.

Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 14:52:51 -0400 There's a small pic of it on Banks' web site http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.bankspower.com/GBford.html But I know my friend was got just under 22mpg from NC to NY a few weeks back coming home from Rockingham Dragway. My chip arrived yesterday and we're putting it in tonight. I should crack 1,000 miles on my truck today and I've had it a week and have just filled up for the second time. First tank was showing 14mpg so between the motor breaking in and the chip, I should see a decent improvement. NOTE : This is 90% highway mileage..... ___________________________________________________________________ 1991 Mustang LX Coupe 347 : 12.14 112 No NOS yet! : 3240w/driver 493RWHP/582RWTQ Griggs, Wilwood, NOS : 11.64 121.53 A few years back...

Thanks for your responses. -Marv- ------------------------------ From: MRoadarDOJ aol.com Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 08:43:29 EDT Subject: V-10 Ping (Normal? I don't think so. . .) Marv: Only thing I can tell you is my personal experience. I have a V-10 in my 1999 F-350 Crewcab, SRW, longbed, auto trans, Lariot, 3.55 limited slip diff. Took delivery on 7/28/98 and just turned 30,000 this week. I use regular grade gas (mileage is 11.5 to 15.5 mpg) and have never noticed any pinging at shift points or otherwise. The truck is used for my four mile commute to work every day as well as two hundred mile business trips once week (on average) and long haul trips from middle Georgia to Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio and/or Pennsylvania several times a year. Generally, truck has only a modest load on it compared to its capacity. The only way to describe the truck's performance to date is "flawless". I would have a hard time accepting the idea that pinging (which is, I believe, an engine's way of telling us that it is committing slow suicide) is "normal". /Mark < Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 17:49:04 -0700 From: Marv Subscribed to ask a question. 999, V-10, pings a lot just before shift points. Dealer says "normal". I'd like to say BS, but not if it is, indeed, "normal". Anybody know the straight stuff? >> ------------------------------ From: "Pete Calabrese" Subject: PSD Newbie Question... Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 09:31:59 -0400 Since diesel's are a whole new game to me and I'm still learning I had a question I think I know the answer to, but wanted to be sure. 80% of my PSD's time is spent as a commuter vehicle doing about 100 miles a day round trip, averaging about 70-75mph at around 2200-2500rpm's. Since the diesel's operating range is lower than that of a normal gas engine, I was wondering what -if any- problems could occur from the prolonged rpm's? I know for the most part diesel's are made to last significantly longer and 'real' trucks cruise for 100's of miles at a time, but I wasn't sure what rpm's they're turning. I know the mileage I drive isn't an issue, but was curious whether I should be slowing it down a bit, or if that was a safe 'cruising' rpm range.... Thanks....
