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...
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...

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.

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?

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...
I just put new ball joints in and its clunking again(when I hit the brakes). Could I have messed them up? Do the control arms that hold the front axle wear out?

Why do the 215 pumps have a retard notch? Were they tring to meet/beat emmisions? Is there a secret purpose for them? I think it was white knight who said the notches were good for running nitrous-is that so when the timing retards it reduces cyl pressure so that the added pressure from...
If I run higher timing, does the mack rack plug still bring the fuel on too soon? Unless I was already running 2k rpms or more, it would choke the engine out and make a huge cloud of grey smoke till it could build boost and rpms. I was just wondering before I take it out, if the engine would...
What is the preferred method to hold the gears still when torquing the inj pump nut? Last time I used a rag(let the gears pull the rag into the teeth till they didn't move), does that do any harm? The nut gets 170 ft lbs right?
