Just wanting some opinions on the best shocks for a truck with 4.5" lift. I don't do any serious offroading, but sometimes hit the dirt roads and it rides like a tank. Part of that is the traction bars that I run but I think there is some room for improvement. Any suggestions? Best place to...

I moved the passenger side battery back under the bed on the inside of the frame rail today and if you have a stack there is plenty of room. I used the factory battery tray and all I had to do is drill a couple 17/64th holes and use the bolts that hold the factory tray to fasten it to the...

I just wanted to put up a quick review of the new blankets that I got from Levi (Turbo Performance). I had to change my head gasket so everything was apart and I had Levi make me blankets for everything- Manifold, s300 and S480, and hot pipe. I have to say that I am impressed, spool up is...

My dad is down in Arizona around Kingman and his truck keeps setting the low voltage on injector circuit 2 code and shutting down the power on him. Does anyone know of a good shop around there, I hate to tell him to take it to the dealer. Warranty is long gone. Thanks

I just picked up a 99 golf and I am new to the VW. Where should I start? I am not going to go crazy but I am looking to do something to it. I know that the timing belt will be getting changed soon, I inspected it and it looks fine but I doubt it has been changed and it just rolled over...

I am thinking of changing to the 625's to get more clamping load on the HG. Right now I have the 2000's torqued to 135lbs and I was leaking a little coolant from the back. I did another retorque and the leak has stopped but for how long. I was wondering if I do change studs can I just pull one...

I just went to dual cp3's on the new build and I put a used d-max pump on top. Things worked ok for a while and then I got a grinding noise that sounded like it was coming from the d-max pump, it got pretty loud and then went away. I drove it around after that and it ran good for about a half...

Well we just put the new motor in and now I am not charging. We used the alternator from the old engine that was running and it worked fine when we pulled it out on Tuesday. I have checked the battery connections and they are tight and the plug is tight where the alternator hooks up. I have a...

I was wondering if using this http://www.evanscooling.com/html/trucks1.htm would be worth it? I believe it would cause the cooling system to be low pressure and therefore remove the need for a coolant bypass with my twins. What do you think?

I am getting a clunking noise when I shift from reverse to drive and it sounds like it is comming from around the pinion. It is also noticable when I drive, braking and accelerating. I jacked up the rear end and gave it a twist and this is what it sounded like, any ideas? "][/URL]

I am thinking I am just going to go with new bolts for the mains, is Cummins the only place to get them for a CR motor? I am not going to spend 1K for a girdle and if I put studs in the mains I will have to machine the stock stiffener plate. Any Ideas? Cummins wants $12.50 each for the bolts...

I am looking for some advice on my build, it is an 04.5 motor and so far it is bored .020 over. I have cummins pistons and I don't plan to cut them, the cam is a drop in and does not need any relief. I will be looking for 750-800hp on fuel. Do you guys think that it is worth it to have the...

Does anyone have any good specs for the groove width and depth, protrusion, groove diameter ect.. I read somewhere .014 protrusion, is this pretty standard? Also what wire is used and does it come as a ring or does it have to be made? I am new to this and there is very few places to have this...

I am building a motor right now and my goal is 800hp. The pistons will be .020 oversized and I was wondering how many thousandths to allow in the bore for expansion? Also is it best to go all the same on the bore or to allow a little more for #6 ect.. Does anyone have any advice?

I am trying to see if Bob and Marco can find a way to adjust customer preferences with the Smarty. There are some things that can be adjusted easily at the dealer but when the Smarty is loaded it resets it. On my 05 I want to be able to turn the tow/haul into overdrive lock out. I went to the...
