    Who has "re-bent" their own VP conversion lines?

    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...

    Flexible emergency fuel line?

    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...

    Timing vs. head gaskets

    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...

    tired of the solenoid leaning toward a cable

    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...

    Shutoff Solenoid Woes

    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...

    Torque wrench questions for the professional mechs here...

    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...

    Can an aftermarket manifold cause P0243?

    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...

    Buying Jetta TDI, what to look out for?

    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...

    Fuel leak when full down to 7/8 full only HELP!!!

    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...

    Has anyone had issues with oil puking from gear case?

    My truck is getting torn down to do a swap next week. It's a 2001. I've talked to a couple different people and have gotten some conflicting opinions about whether or not to use a 12V tappet cover. Some say it's necessary and the front case will puke oil out the breather tube, some say it won't...

    Fummins wanted

    I've come to the realization that I don't have the time or space to build one so I'm looking to buy. If anybody knows where there is a well built Fummins for sale please let me know.
