06 auto truck was down for about a year for a big build. Upon attempting first fire up i start adding the puzzle pieces together... -The air dog wasn't getting signal from the trigger wire. I had to jump the relay to get fuel circulating. After several crank cycles i realize we have fuel at...

Dang all this fancy key fob business! bought a 14' mega and it sure is nice, BUT... Can i disable the door chime or seat belt dinger without buying anything? I drive slow on oilfield roads, dont like to buckle up! I also like the radio on and the doors open while im working on location but...

After talking to Todd @ T&C and April @ F1, i have decided i want to run dual filters. I really don't see water contamination as a problem, its more about the garbage (solids) in the fuel. I believe the threads for the water separator are 3/4"-16, which is different from the actual fuel filter...

A lot of threads about leaky covers, i know.... Everyone and their mom has a tappet cover available, which is fine, but no one wants to go thru that job just to have a machined cover leak. I have had customers bring me unbranded or ebay covers just to have them leak and i would like opinions...

To make a short story long, i had a friends 06 that had flux 6's in it with a stock he351 (for the time being) a few years later we are doing a complete build now.... 6.7 fuel, todd's wild pump as a single, s369sxe all of zacks head work pistons and hard parts... 188/220, big valves, bench...

considering selling the 2nd gen out right and using that money for a 4th gen mega for additional room for the kids. my 3rd gen will stay as the "fast truck" and the 4th gen would be a highway cruiser for work. I have heard that 14's are prone to breaking input shafts. is this true? any other...

To make a short story long my SAC 60% overs aren't going to cut it anymore. I am pretty set on sending them to F1 for nozzles and balancing. My first thought was 100-120 over nozzles but i have some questions... What is the max u.s. people like to use before harming an injector and why? i...

Driving my 2nd gen out from Houston in a serious down pour 3 weeks ago... lost the dash/ dimmer function. I was also pulling a trailer and i lost a trailer light in the same trip, but that turned out to be a bad trailer ground wire. not sure if they are related... No blown fuses... with the...

I have been eye balling an 5.9 07 that was flooded. Its my wifes brothers rig. pretty much same as my 3rd gen but a white stock dually. (low miles) It was idling at the property (6 speed manual) and he was inside eating dinner and the e brake didn't hold and it just rolled into the pond. It was...

My factory Rad just decided to split on the plastic cap.... no biggie, it went about 300k, never had overheating issues. I have no problem going back with OEM, but i figured it couldn't hurt to ask if there was anything better out there. also, is it ok to have the plastic end cap (tank)...

i'm about to get rid of my s467.7 .9ar (race cover) and i am torn on where to go from here. Technology has changed a lot in the 6 ish years ive ran this single. my biggest complaint has always been spool up but i have always slightly blamed that on my converter (15 blade left cut). either...

My Front end is entirely Carlie minus oem springs with 2" coil spacers. I always wanted carlie front springs but the smallest they offer are 3". I am eager to get rid of my OEM springs and the junk spacers but i like my ride height. 3" 'springs would put me 1" higher in the front and i sure...

Isn't my voltage regulator part of the ECU? I am seeing about 14.7v anytime the truck is running. i have tried 2 different alternators since its been doing this for over a year. I know its not a LOT of over charging but i am particular about my truck. my stereo Amps love it but i am starting...

The wifes 47re was rebuilt 3 years ago. she hardly drives it and its like a 3rd vehicle now. had a big falling out with a trans builder here in houston and he also lied to me about parts he "installed" on my 48re, then denies any warranty work. Anyways, i am only saying that to emply his VB...

WHAT IS UP? long time no talk friends... the ol lady's 2nd gen is in need of attention, all door locks quit. tore apart the door switch, didnt like what i saw so i ordered a new one (start with the cheapest part right?) still no door locks. upon trouble shooting i unplugged the 2 prong...

2005 5.9 all stock motor. fresh OEM turbo. no programming that i am aware of. 128k miles. The problem = Motor makes a faint but noticeable fueling knock, followed by a small amount of black or grey smoke (un burnt fuel). replaced the FCA with no change. scanner shows it idles at 7k psi and WOT...

Just trying to make sure im not over thinking on boost limiting... I hear all sorts of things... no limiter at all.... set it on 200 and forget it..... ramp it up, etc etc. also, depending on turbo size, is there really a reason to boost limit a daily driver past 20 psi? i don't see the need...

I have some tricks up my sleeve for my jeep project. Im looking for the weight of a stock 3rd gen aluminum wheel with 35's on it (or a 315/70/17) or i guess i could get the wheel weight and then google the weight of the tire. i need to compare the weight to the wheel and tire combo on my Jeep...

I had the ol lady's 47re rebuilt almost a year ago. Nothing special, just an upgraded converter and a fresh VB to go with the rebuild. well ever since she got it back i noticed it had a rough engagement in gear. all shifts are fine and everything else is great but since the weather has cooled...

looks like its going to get even more tricky for us with these newer ECU's:doh: no more reading stock files AND your telling me i have to buy a bully dog just to "not use it"? i do not tune on a professional level and there are a lot of "garage tuners" like myself that do it to learn rather...
