I've read here and there of a couple guys that have taken their stock VP lines and "re-bent" them to fit like conversion lines. I'm sick and tired of fighting cracked lines and lines that leak at the head. I've probably been through two or three sets and still have fuel leaks. Yes I have them...

I'm told someone makes a flexible emergency fuel line but I can't find any info anywhere on it. I've searched the sites of some of the more popular companies that make p-pump/24V fuel lines but found nothing. I had one crack on me while out of town this week and want to get one of these to keep...

I've done some searching around and most threads are full of people saying I'm running this timing or that timing to suit different needs. However, I came across a discussion recently claiming that anything 24* or above without head studs will leave you needing a head gasket in short order. Some...

Alright guys. I'm DONE fighting with this (choose your expletive) fuel shut off solenoid. It's wired right, got good batteries with good charge, but none of them are lasting much more than six months. Question is, what are y'all using for a manual cable shutoff? Is it as simple as getting a...

2001 6spd truck. Has a 160 pump on it. Here's the problem. I got everything working as of now but the bracket is bothering me. If you put both bolts in the bracket it's like the solenoid is in a bind or something and won't work. Take out the bolt closest to the firewall and clock it towards the...

I've got an Mercedes inline 5 turbo diesel for trade. The guy I got it from was going to put it in a Rat Rod but scrapped the project. I personally have not run it yet, but it is complete minus the vacuum pump. Looking to trade for anything 24V performance related. Let me know what you've got...

I am curious about what brands are best to get. I'm not a "professional mechanic" but I don't want to buy a cheap inaccurate POS either. I guess I just want to know what you all have used and what works best for you. Question #2... I had this discussion with someone the other day about...

This is a turbo wastegate solenoid code. My searching has told me that much. Here's the deal. This is not my truck, best friend doesn't do computers and I'm not a CR guy, trying to help him out. He's got a 2007 5.9, manual trans 4WD truck. He had a leaking exhaust gaskets, so he installed a...

I've NEVER owned a car before, but I'm being forced to buy a commuter. So, I'm pretty much set on a Jetta TDI. The one I'm seriously considering is a 2006 with 77k miles on it. I have no idea what to look out for or if these cars have any issues. I know people that have owned VWs and Jettas in...

She's no rooster cruiser like Mr. T's but she gets 'er done. They say it would run like a scalded dog when it was new but she's gutless now.

I have never been so aggrivated by a problem on my truck because I can't figure this out to save my life. This thing will pour fuel on the hog head while driving and then slow to a drip at idle and no leak when the engine is off. Also, it only does this between a full tank and 7/8. Once I run...

It's a Garrett turbo off a 60 series Detroit. It has Allied, Garrett, and Detroit on the tag. The part number is 23518695. I've been trying to find info on this to find out the specs. No luck on Garrett's website or any other site I tried to reference the p/n.

This is the only complaint after six months on the road that I have. Anyone know how to get rid of the CEL due to the VP not being there anymore? Oh, and no I'm not just putting a piece of black tape over it.

This one has got me stumped and I need some help. No injector lines are leaking, everything on top of the pump is dry, no holes in the fuel line or return. Yet sometimes when I get out of the truck there seems to be fuel pouring from the hog's head on the front axle that will then slow to a very...
