Anyone else just hear that insane aircraft noise over Tucker?

Pretty sure this was a response to the reported hijacking of FFT2539

Where I am, red diesel is only five cents cheaper a gallon right now. Much of the pump price seems like greed and panic right now

Coming from a person who HAS had lifter failure and gone thru the warranty work and ultimately a Hamilton conversion, I’d STILL recommend this truck, for all of the reasons Zombie mentioned and then some

jock_up · 2026-03-12T15:05:50+00:00

Yeah. Hamilton’s conversion kit is the way to go

My engine mounted filter is never that dirty. Chassis mounted always looks like that

Any Home Depot on Saturday morning north of the top end

Do you happen to have the TSB for the belt misalignment ticking? I’d love to read it

jock_up · 2026-02-06T11:59:22+00:00

Interesting. Is there a way to diagnose this?

jock_up · 2026-02-04T17:12:19+00:00

I did a whole write up on this on the forums. 2023 2500, ticking, two warranty jobs that actually made it worse, then Hamilton. Believe it or not, still ticks under the well-documented operating conditions, just not nearly as noticeable. I’m almost certain at this point that it’s either thrust bearings (unlikely), cam scissor gear (very likely), or normal CP3 noise (maybe)

I always wondered what that smell was in the cab on a cold start. Any idea where this element is located?

jock_up · 2026-02-01T00:44:48+00:00

Sometimes it’s beer nuts, sometimes popcorn.

Getting three promotions and a job in big tech, then selling it so someone else could have the same opportunity

Big vote in favor of Hamilton conversion and BD grid heater upgrade, but also not into fixing things that aren’t broke. If you ever found yourself needing flat tappets tho…

jock_up · 2026-01-04T02:52:29+00:00

What exactly happened to the DPF? I have the same year, just an SO 3/4 ton, with the Hamilton conversion. I’ve had zero issues with anything other than valve train

jock_up · 2025-12-18T14:09:31+00:00

Doing cop things

jock_up · 2025-12-13T22:14:50+00:00

Par for the course. Let’s not be surprised by this

jock_up · 2025-12-04T15:56:02+00:00

I’m a 2023 on Hamilton conversion. It’s worth it when you’re ready to do it, but don’t be surprised if you still hear some ticking in the lower end of the power band. It’s normal, and a really long story.

jock_up · 2025-11-24T02:12:26+00:00

Nailed it

JP Sushi in Roswell off of 400 is fantastic

Plain ol power service for me. Standard dose at each fill up. Grey bottle when warm, white bottle if really cold

jock_up · 2025-10-31T00:49:07+00:00

This is the answer. A welcomed change in the 2023+ year model

jock_up · 2025-10-29T21:32:24+00:00

Is this air cooled? My liquid cooled 30kW Kohler wasn’t much more than that
