Forums - for the avid DIY Mechanic and Researcher

A major resource available to diesel buffs are the numerous online forums, whether if be Ford, Chevy or Dodge there is a large selection to choose from, some are mixed containing information on Powerstroke, Duramax and Cummins, others are dedicated to one specific brand.

Forums are a great place to learn the 'in's and out's' of your vehicle, if you have a question on how to do something on your truck, chances are someone else has asked the same question in one of the forums, with a bit of patience and practice you can search the older posts and normally find what you are looking for, if not, start a new thread, the people on these forums are there to help and many have of them have a wealth of experience to offer, everything from the best tire prices to how to change your headlight, Injection pump installs to turbo upgrades , it is all here.
