    V8 Block Heater Possibility?

    I have a V8 '07 with a block heater in Canada. Don't use it much though except if temp drops below -20F. Apparently this says it heats up the coolant and indirectly the oil. http://knowhow.napaonline.com/how-to-use-a-block-heater-to-survive-the-winter/ PM me if you want some help getting one...

    Secondary Air Injection Pump Failure on V8's! Important!

    Are there any members in Calgary that has the AIP bypass installed? I'd like to compare notes on the initial loud sound I get when I start on some days. I installed the bypass but worried that it is not in properly. I did check it with a multimeter and looked ok. Anyone in Calgary willing to...

    So...rear axle seal leak on driver side! (07 V8)

    Just a closeout. Decided to do just one side seal and clean up the brakes since it was a small leak. They found that the seal has parted in half so could be a material failure. Thanks Nevada!

    So...rear axle seal leak on driver side! (07 V8)

    Thanks. I talked to the tech and he suspects the seal has failed by itself and suggested doing both sides as they might have similar end of life. But you make a good point, I didn't know they were independent. I thought they both see the same pressure, and one would be a weak link if only...

    So...rear axle seal leak on driver side! (07 V8)

    Hi all, Major fan of the forum, being looking at all of your fancy builds. I got the truck used in April 2014, got the timing belt, and all fluids changed then. It was running quite well until a month ago. Noticed a lack of breaking or double breaking when coming to a stop. Upon further...

    a little advice please

    Yeah, I recommend the 4gen V8 as well. Got winters on them and the truck is a tank in snow. In ice, it's still good, you just need to drive sensibly. Whatever you get, please put winters on! It's a great investment compared to the cost of an accident!
