I am just wondering what everyones thoughts on oil additives are. I have been running Delo 15-40 because it is readily available but I had an oil analyisis done and was not to impressed with the zinc numbers. I have read a couple of the threads about oil but I am still tring to learn what...

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 was wondering if it is ok to drill and tap the compressor housing on my primary for a boost gauge, or if I should just get a bung and weld it into the cold pipe. Where is everyone mounting there guage for primary boost? Any pics? 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 am in the process of putting in the new engine and we have had issue after issue today, I am now at the stoping point until we solve a belt problem. I am putting dual cp3's on a Banks big hoss intake and after rebuilding the bracket to move the cp3 out where it needs to be I am still short...

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]
