    Chasing an Allison ghost

    The lesson for me is that internet reputation does not necessarily mean quality work. I feel like that old German proverb: "We grow too soon old, and too late smart."

    Chasing an Allison ghost

    I think it is fixed!! By way of back story, I initially (in December 2009) called the builder that put together the transmission for me in 2007. His phone staff told me that he was unavailable, so I left a message describing the symptoms (transmission would not engage when cold, CEL, RANGE...

    Coolant Change

    I just pulled the radiator hose and drained the overflow tank, filled with distilled H2O, ran it until nice and hot, drained, filled with distilled H2O again, ran it until hot, drained and refilled with 50/50 Dex and distilled H2O. I had to add a tiny bit of the final mixture over the next...

    Want A Loud Exhaust ONLY When You "Get On It"?

    My brother has a G8 and added a Corsa exhaust. It sounds like a damned ricer with a fart pipe.

    Running Spring Clamps...

    I put clamps on 3+ years ago and left them on. The ride is a hair stiffer, and the truck has a slightly lower stance unladen. It also really will lay rubber without much effort. :D

    Chasing an Allison ghost

    I have the new model NSBU switch. I suspect that the problem is in the PSM. There is a good Alli builder about a 2 hour drive from me. He gave me his cell number and told me to call him the next time that this happens. I only drive the truck a day or two each week, so at least I am not...

    Chasing an Allison ghost

    Last winter when it got cold my truck would sometimes not move. The shifter worked fine, and would initally go into R, but then the shift indicator would blink (and sometimes disappear), the truck would act like it was in neutral and the RANGE SHIFT INHIBITED message would show up on the DIC...

    2010 Chevy 1500 - When did they stop Torsion bars?

    I wonder if you can use a poly donut under the spring, sort of like the hockey puck idea that you can use to raise the front end of a coil spring Jeep.

    New toy

    It is an 8x8 Argo Frontier, with Adair Argo tracks. It is amphibious. I really like my Max II, but this Argo is several notches up in fit, finish, features and performance. I am very impressed with it. I still have the Max, Tim, but might put it on the market sometime in the future. My...

    Red Angus

    My back fence neighbor raises bison, and he spent a pile of money on the seven strand fence that he tries to keep them contained with. He also ended up having to gate up all of the cattle guard gates that he had, because the bison would simply jump over them. And his loading pens look like...

    Red Angus

    Are we talking a 200 day wean weight? Average is 450-500#, but some ranchers with bigger cows are producing calves bigger than that. Mostly black Angus around here, and 700 lbs for a spring calf 7-8 months later is not uncommon, depending on the line.
