The boy found himself a slick little flatbed truck. 1997 4x4 47. Engine is burnt up. Just so happens we have a 2000 VP engine with ECM and wiring laying around. Truck was a manual. Can I have the VP ECM flashed to control the transmission? Is the wiring the same? We could have the 12v rebuilt...

Anyone running the CTs monitors on their early OBD2 trucks with success? Also can I run more that one expansion buss on them? Wouldn’t mind having ETG Boost and IAC temps which isn’t in the factory EMC on this dinosaur. Messing with a 1996 automatic if that matters? I don’t want a big ol...

Wild hair up my arse. Years ago some kid whacked me in my Jetta, totaled it (I walked away). Bought it back because the engine and drivetrain was still just fine. Figured I could part it out for more money. Well it’s still sitting here, we yanked the fenders off and go bomb it threw the Desart...

Sorry I’m new to this second gen stuff. I need control arms for my 1996 2500 4x4, I’m not lifting it, I’m not even leveling it, if anything I’d like to drop it an inch or so but I probably won’t. Everything I’m seeing on Carlie’s website is saying their arms are for 1-3” lifted trucks, which...

Where’s everyone mounting their trans coolers? I got a set of PDD’s lines and a Derale “hyper-cool extreme” cooler. I had it mapped out in my head I’d mount it under the core support/bumper but once it showed up and I held it there that’s not an option. Second idea was in the drivers side under...

TeamVE - YouTube Any hoot, anyone got one of those compushift units? That run was basically a 727, I didn’t lockup or hit 4th, I’m getting old and tired of reaching for toggles. Another thought was to use the cruise switches for lockup and 4th, anyone done such hillbilly things? Also running...

I have a simi built 47rh in a 93 with the mighty VE :-)) I’m getting a vibration in 3rd gear only. Locked or unlocked doesn’t matter it’s RPM related. Starts to vibrate around 1,800 gets progressively worse to 2,400ish and then more or less goes away. It’s not slipping whatsoever, feels like a...

Who’s got the best molded carpets for these old chit boxes? I wasn’t very happy with the LMC one I got for my daughters square body Cheby. I mean it wasn’t horrible but the color match for the GM red was way too bright. Fit and finish wise it wasn’t the best either, spent a good part of a day...

Does your mom still bring you hot coco to her basement after you have a hard day at your Best Buy job? P.S. boobs DONT feel like sand bags....

Anyone upgrade to 9/16” studs? Part numbers would be nice 2x4 truck if it matters. I got a good deal on some wheels and would like to run them on the crew cab.

Is there some sort of calculator or formula to figure out how much of a cooler you need for X amount of air? Looking on frozen boost website I believe I can cram two type 52's behind my grill with some cutting and grinding, bubble gum and zip ties. Second question with water to air coolers how...

2004 BEW Jetta. I'm having an issue when the engine is cold the car says it's at 260+ and the idiot light comes on fans go high and AC doesn't work. I drive it a few minutes and it drops down to 120 and all operates as it should. Replaced the temp sensor with no change. Looked at scan tool data...

Is this going to be a hot spot and or a bottle neck for my hot pipe? If so any solutions or places to get a very short transition? The stainless 90 fits perfect for the t4 adaptor, the hx 40 flange is a bit too big. The 90 fits inside of the hx 40, it fits tight but the pipe is fully inside the...

I'll be there. Who's coming ? If the service is good enough I'll try to update with times best I can.

I'm currently on the quest of dropping the rear of my old pile. I want to get rid of the huge 6" block. I cut out the rear shackle hanger and flipped them. Put me around a 1.5" lift, but with no block got me azz down around 4-5". I want level or maybe a slight cali lean. My shackles are facing...

2004 2x4. Fan has fallen off. I see no damage to fan clutch or the hub bearing. Is there something I'm missing or is this a thing with these electronic clutches?

I have this kinda sorta hillbilly idea. I'm working with a 1st gen so I have a fully open "c" channel frame. I ordered an WFO torque arm kit. So I'll need a cross member to accept one end. Here's my hillbilly idea, using some 2" square 0.25" wall fallow the lower frame rail from rear bumper to...

Anyone running some sort of cooler on the return side? I'm thinking about getting a little transmission cooler with a fan and plumb it in the return side. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts about it and other idea's. I'm not sure it will be worth the effort but I know the cooler the fuel the...

I think I remember guys saying they walked into their local "big rig" parts/service place and bought the down pipe and intercooler pipe and clamps. I searched I cannot find the threads. Does anyone have the parts numbers so I can go pick up the pipe and clamp for both the down pipe and the...
