As for the Visctronic clutches most of the diag's are thru the ECM, unless it a mechanical failure. Here is a PDF file that I have gotten off of my Borg-Warner site. http://thermal.borgwarner.com/PDFs/Visctronic-Auto-DirAct.pdf

We have had quite a few mis-diag's on bad fan clutches that were actually bad radiators. I thought I might put my /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif in here and maybe some of us will get something out of it if not maybe a refresher on these clutches. The obvious failures are either bearing failure or leaking fluid. To understand whether the fan clutch is operating properly or not, you have to understand how it operates. The fan clutch contains a viscous liquid that allows the fan blade to turn at a percentage of the water pump speed. The temperature at which it engages is controlled by a thermal spring on the front of the clutch. This bi-metal spring is temperature sensitive, and is the control, which allows the engagement of the fan clutch at a certain temperature range. It is AIR temperature that controls the bi-metal spring action, not water temperature. The air that crosses the face of the clutch controls the engagement of the clutch. Proper diagnosis procedure: Start with a cold engine. The thermal fan clutch will be engaged for a short period of time. This length of time depends upon the specifications of the vehicle tested. When air temperature is sufficient enough to activate the bi-metallic spring the fan clutch should engage. The pitch of the fan blade controls how fast the clutch disengages at cold startup. To measure the pitch of the fan blade, place it on a flat surface and measure the vertical height of the blade. When the vertical height is 2.5 inches or greater the fan blade requires a heavy-duty clutch. If it is less than 2.5 inches the blade will need a standard duty clutch.

Jim, isn't this a oxymoron? 6.0 litre and better fuel economy. If he wants better kms per litre he should get one of those Smart cars that Keith posted.

Jim wish him luck, If you need some help with the a/m goodies ( I even cringe to admit it ) I can help out. We do sell Superchip,Edge,AFE, and Diamondback exhaust. But I don't prefer to sell it. I'm still a firm believer that If the A/M stuff is so good don't you think the OE's would be using it?

Let's see I live in metro Detroit, work in Detroit and our largest salt mine is under Detroit. What do you think they put on the roads around here. Tons and tons of salt, in the spring it takes at least the first couple of weeks worth of spring showers just to get the shit off of the roads. Pretty interesting reading though.... http://www.saltinstitute.org/mich-1.html

Joey I've used this company before, they are pretty nice kits. http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/cgi...=category;v=2.0

I was surfing last nite and came across this, imagine the applications this could be used for.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6945732.stm

Ditto, as Keith said they are part of the assy.

It was kind of screwed up picture but Ford does list it as a fuel intake filter E5TZ9J306BA.

Hey Rob I have a friend of a friend that has a brand new 6.0 in the crate complete turbo to pan. He is looking to get about $6000.00 for it. If you're interested pm me and I'll get you the info.

Joey I just came across this, I would think it would be covered. I don't know this may be outdated but is the latest I could find.

Napa filters are Wix filters. Napa just removes 1 number off of the front of the part #. Fuel they remove a 3, Oil they remove a 5, And Air they remove a 4.

Have you guy's heard of this??? I don't recall us using this word. Check out this link... http://www.enertechlabs.com/Is_Sticktion_even_a_Real_Word_07162006.htm

Quote: Also, these will indeed have a UREA injection system that will be recommended for refilling at each oil change. How many times will we see the UREA/piss go in the wrong tank??? Should be interesting.

Hey guy's this one I found pretty funny. Our sales rep from DIPACO drives a Hummer,he lives in PA. It appears that there are a lot of tree huggers in that state, that don't care for the people driving guzzlers. He kept getting flipped off and hearing shit about driving one. He decided to put one of those decals in the back window like the guy's that convert their trucks to bio/hybrid or something else. The funny part about about it was that all he put on the truck was the label, Stated as follows: This vehicle powered by hydra-carbon fuel In other words Gasoline. He now gets thumbs up and praise for being more fuel efficient so they think. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif
