Rolling Again with ATT and FTB! After a couple snafu's, Old Yeller is on the road again, now with an A-Team Turbo and the Feed the Beast mod!! Much in part to Turbine Doc, who insists that removing that pesky inner fender is somehow better than swearing, bruising and bleeding. What fun is...

First vacuum pump (diaphram) went bad. Northeast rust made getting the pulley off impossible, so just swapped diaphram piece (worked, but a mistake in the long run!) Then waste gate solenoid went. Then hoses were cracked and leaking. Then the pump piece puked, locked up and ate the almost new...

Doc made a house call! Turbine Doc stopped by to lend a hand with the ATT install, can't thank him enough for taking the time! The "couple quick things" (famous last words!) ended up taking way longer than expected, so I'm not quite fininshed yet. Had exhaust issues (had nothing to do...

Guess who showed up today to help out with my ATT install? Well I guess the title might have given it away, but Turbine Doc stopped by to provide invaluable assistance, knowlege and encouragement in getting my ATT project moving along!! Can't thank him enough, what a stand up guy! :thumbsup:

Dan - I was talking about this: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?t=572&highlight=feed+beast&page=4 Is this not important to do? I am getting confused Slim - no offense intended! I am just excited to use some leftover pieces to spruce up the install (polished aluminum...

Project started! Old turbo off (what a PITA) Had to cutoff wheel the turbo mounting studs and nuts (they were all mush) The inside front stud was a real treasure, thank goodness for a HD dremel to reach in there and chip away at it :eek: ATT mounted!! :D Only unforseen (minor) issue...

Got home and "fixed" the picture lol :iamwithstupid:

Lol! Vent is rightside up, it's the truck that's upside down!!! Lol, tried doing this on my BlackBerry :-)

I did mine without doing any research Redneck Engineering 101 - dremel and $10 ricer fake vent (now functional) There was a rust spot there so I figured it was easier to "git-r-done"

Now, hurry up and wait!! Everything ordered and paid for ATT, KOJO ECM and FTB Even got the fancy new custom fuel manager (can't wait to see what that's all about!) So, it looks like I need to pull the top of intake off to do the IP side of FTB (and drill out that center piece), no way...

Those were the days 72 Firebird rally Espirit, 400, headers to cherrybombs (they actually bolted right to the headers), holley 750, ram air heads, hot ignition and advance kit, slap shifter and race valve body, could get rubber in any gear (even with crazy high gear ratio, high two's!!) *I...

So it sounds like I may need to dump my NAPA "big truck" 3 inch muffler and go straight pipe or perhaps "cherry bomb" style (showin' my hot-rod age here) to test it out. I'll try it muffled first and watch EGT, boost etc. I live in the middle of a thoroughbred horse farm and can't shake the...

I hear that, I don't drive that way much anymore either, and NYS is trying to make up for budget woes by ticketing and fining its way back into the black So I'm doing the ATT and KOJO ecm, FTB fuel manager and a new cross over while everything is apart Anything else I should look at...

Wow!! Gracious offer, I may take you up on that one! And, the way you drive, that should mean about 20 minutes!! :eek:

Woo Hoo! Ordering tonight!! :D Tried to order but website said something funny about shipping method and wouldn't let me proceed :eek: Well, I've waited this long, what's another day or two

Good to hear (about tranny) My mechanic is always skeptical about "shade tree items" (his words) like homemade TM, 10k pot, etc He just shakes his head at me... :rolleyes5: But in fairness, he's not a hardcore diesel guy either No other advice before I do this? Wish me luck...

Finally got finances in order (it's been a tough year or two!!) and looking to upgrade the only stock items left on my 97, the turbo and PCM Any drawback to my plan of ATT and KOJO tune for my 97? Anything to watch out for during install? Is the DTR/TTS discount still available? I've...

Had the same happen to me on my old gasser (not a heater install, just a leaking plug) I found a small pick-up tool in my toolbox, the kind where 3 wire fingers poke out when you push the plunger and then retract and grab when you release the plunger. It took a few tries (and a few choice...

To be fair... Okay, I suppose I need to post this just to be fair. I did NOT initiate this post trying to get something for nothing. After 2 emails to the vendor I was told that replacement would not happen. So I intended on sharing my experience/displeasure of the transaction with my fellow...
