After getting my triple disc converter in, the turbo barks every time it shifts into od unless its floored. Can I fix this with a lockup controller? Money is tight due to lack of work.

So, prior to getting my trans repaired and beefed up, I had been running gently on 60 HP setting. Now, afterwards, when I'm ready to see how it'll run, its doggy. Wondering if I was just used to the HP level, I bumped to the 160 HP tune. Minimal difference. The bottom end response comes and goes...

OK, so when I was in college I was taught that a turbo gave a diesel enough back pressure to run any length or diameter straight exhaust (hood stack, 5" straight, 4" duals). I have read some claims that running a good muffler gives a little better power and mpg. Recently talked to a guy bout how...

From my diagnosing and couple conversations with performance shops, I believe I have either cracked my flexplate or its coming loose. I'm working 500 miles from home in a man camp south of Williston, ND. How fixable is this in the dirt parking lot? can I just undo drive lines and mounting...

Can someone tell me the specs on the turbos. Most importantly the compressor specs. Thanks.

Ok, so I just started the engine after swapping heads, and it has an intermittent knock. Engine got up to temp, retourque is done, valve lash reset-minimal adjustment was needed. Cracked injection lines one at a time, didn't affect when it knocks. Knock was there from the beginning after air...

Just put on an oringed head, torqued the head bolts to 130 ft lbs. By next monday I'll be driving 6 hrs on interstate, pulling some good hills. How many times should I retorque the bolts and at what engine temps should I torque at? Right now, trans is in pieces on the garage floor, so driving...

At the hooters meet n greet, we came up with several ideas of things to do to get us out having fun. I want to get out and have some fun with the truck and meet some new people. I know that Truckfest at Bandimere is coming up and there are a few truck pulls, but some of us might not be able to...

Having a meet and greet at hooter by Loveland, Co. I25 and crossroads blvd, next to thunder mountain harley. Sat may 30th at noon. Come hang out, eat some grub, have a brew, have fun. Jordan

I'm looking to change my shift knob, especially since the light up one my wife bought me fell apart. What have you guys used and liked? Jordan

I would like to get some guys and trucks together for an afternoon hang out at the hooters on I25 and crossroads on jan 17th. Some tug of war would be fun-maybe at the old dog track. The date can be changed, the 17th is the best for me but other days can work. Jordan

I'm not sure where to ask this, but can someone post the flow rates of roots type blowers and the air consumption rates of a stock 5.9. Thanks Jordan

Will the knuckles fron a 1st gen bolt on to the newer axles? I'm looking for a cheaper way to get locking hubs on the front to help out with mileage. The aftermarket kits are almost $2000. I would love to swap for maybe $100-$200. How well do the hubs hold up with truck pulling? Jordan

Is the 5 hole tip the ideal for the 12v?(spray pattern wise) I've been thinking about some 435's that are 5x14 i think. What about an 8x14, or 10x14 instead of a 5x18? I asked about tips awhile back and didn't find out too much about the tip design and theory. I'm wondering if since most...
