What you guys using for a replacement radiator? Mine started leaking again. Original started leaking a few years ago and I swapped it out with a OEM used one I had laying around. Now it has finally started to leak. OEM Mopar is obsolete. Mishimoto is $950 and is 1.3X" thick core. OEM is 1.65"...

Beating my brain on this one, pretty sure it is VB related but want to make sure. Customer destroys the input shaft (stock) on a aftermarket transmission. I think the converter had issues. Everything else in the transmission looked pretty good. Rebuilt the transmission (48RE), cleaned, new...

Anyone hand drill and tap a 47/48 sprag race? Of course the case is just a touch too tall to fit in the Bridgeport. The race seems softer than a normal bearing race, just by a quick punch test. I don't want to try and drill this thing and make a mess of it.

Friend of mine is working on a 1999 24v auto truck. Alternator stopped charging, the customer put a new alternator on. Started it up and it charged and then shortly after smoked (literally) the alternator. I think he swapped the alternator and it doesn't charge and the APPS has a dead pedal...

4 diesels were at Sick Week in Florida. Let me see if I can actually post pictures.

Friend of mine is installing a new head on a C13. The instructions from the Cat manual have you torquing the bolts to about 120 ft*lbs, then turning them 120*, THEN loosening them all until the washers are loose and repeating the procedure. 1. Won't this mess up the gasket? 2. I Though TTY...

Friend of mine is looking for a good scan tool to work on medium and heavy duty trucks. Something with a pass through that uses a laptop is preferable. What all do you guys recommend?

I have a 2006 5.9, non-reentrant engine. I have a set of spare injectors that came off a 2005 IIRC (should also be non-reentrant) but I have no idea if they were changed out or what by the previous owner. I want to have them cleaned and tested to go in my 2006. How do I know if they are...

Never been, need a vacation, thinking about going. Anyone here going? How many towns away do I need get a hotel at so my truck doesn't get vandalized? Is it worth going to?

My '77 F250 has a 10.5 Ford rear axle that I put a Yukon Grizzly locker (same as a Detroit Locker) in. It definitely locks up, but is a little too much I think on the street for what I really need. I have 40" tires and a good amount of torque, so I wanted something that would last. Is there...

Need a new radiator for my 2006 5.9. Local radiator shop has one for $200, most places are $250-$300 range. I am guessing it's all the same China made junk. Any brand better than another?

Anyone add a remote start to a 12v? I want to put one in my Ford with a 12v.

Time to slap some new pads and rotors on my 3rd gen. Rotors I am looking at Raybestos Premium from Rock Auto. No drilled and slotted crap. Pads? What does everyone recommend? I have always just thrown a set of Mopar premium replacements on it. I don't care if they dust, I want something good...

Working on a friends truck with a 48RE that likes to shift into 3rd at about 18 mph. It has a good transmission in it and a tune. I pulled the tune out and it does the same thing, then lowered the governor pressure curve and that delayed the 2-3 upshift but seems like it flares a little. I also...

What is everyone using for a good accessory drive belt and coolant hoses? I am usually a die hard dealer/OEM guy for this stuff. Anything aftermarket better?

Can't believe I am asking this but I need to add DEF to my truck soon. Is all DEF the same or is one brand better than the other?

Just picked up my first brand new truck last week. 2020 F250 6.7 4x4 Tremor. The 10 speed sold me. These trucks have come a long way from the 1984 F250 6.9 IDI I owned as my first truck. First truck, circa 1996. 1984 F250 4x4 6.9 IDI with a C6 auto.

Where is a good place to get the rear governor housing?

Sick of the garbage the factory puts under these trucks. Now I have death wobble. Anyone swap 05-up Ford Super Duty axles under these trucks? Thinking about cutting all the Dodge junk off and building my own suspension. Everything is so flimsy and undersized for a 3/4 ton truck.

I have gone through a few AC compressors on my truck. It is the 2006-up cheaply made Taiwan compressor. I am thinking of putting a 1996-2005 Sanden in the truck. Anyone else done it? I think all I need is the compressor and the hose.
