truck pulled into the driveway working perfectly... after backing out, go to put it into gear, and there is nothing there just empty wavy shifter area?! goes into 4-6, and reverse like it should. once in reverse the shifter can travel all over with out getting out of reverse. the only way to get...

freshi'sh paint silver/tan kinda color, dash is cracked pretty bad, I'm the second owner of the truck PO said he had it in texas most of its life. I melted #6 piston a while back and pulled the motor to rebuild got most of it done but its taking to long! tired of it being parked in the drive...

I just finished coating a set of piston skirts, and rod bearings with some cerakote. Then thought what about bearings in turbos? Would it help with thrust bearing life?

Due to the dollar to fun ratio, partially brought to my attention here in the boosted lsx thread. I think I am going to get rid of the parts I started to gather up.so i can pursue a more wallet friendly hobby. -standard bore block from an intercooled 1st gen $400 OBO -complete over haul kit from...

I never see any one talk about these. How do they compare to the 87/80?

I added some full cut delivery valves today and now where it used to idle is more like 3000 rpm. In order to get it to idle the main fuel screw has to be backed out 3-4 turns. Is that just the way ve's are? Should I put the stock ones back?

how involved is it to swap a pump head on a 4 cyl ve? I got a 12mm for my 1.6td, and I am thinking about changing it my self.

not sure if this would go in engine tech or turbo? I have a few sets of flanges, and am getting ready to make a few exhaust manifolds. have you guys seen any 180 degree headers? pairing 1,6-2,5-3,4 into an open exhaust housing? helps with low/mid on a gasser. Would it help spool a turbo better...

Any one run crank case vacuum pumps on there trucks? All I can find is good things about them on gas cars, I can only assume you would get the same results on a diesel. I just haven't ever heard of one on a diesel.

if using udc is there a difference in capabilities between jr, so6, ssr? or can they all have the same tables?

Today our work truck started shaking violently while accelerating above 70mph. It felt similar to dodge death wobble, but the steering wheel did not shake.

Seams like I've read some where that they are not the best for street use because they don't last very long, but I cant find anything about it now. is any body running one? or two, or three?

Ive got a problem. the symptoms are... -Won't rev past 1200ish rpm. -smokes white, pops, coughs. Things I have tried. -timing again, again, and again. Tried several different degrees currently at 19. -no change at any settings. -fuel preassure is good. -tried 3 sets of injectors. nothing...

any body know who sells an aftermarket clutch/ pressure plate for a 200mm flywheel?

I keep going through lawn mower moters about 2 per summer. probably because I get them from harbor freight:badidea: but if I could spend a little extra on a diesel motor that would be really cool. does any body make them? all I can find is horizontal shaft motors. if I can find one I will have...
