Still seems like a big price jump 20%. Must be something going on with the production or labor costs of that plant in OH, could be they are paying more for steel but a new optimizer would be great if there are just going to the p400 casting that's even better.
Checking Blowby
On a warm running engine, pull off the oil fill cap. If no smoke or a very light haze comes out this is normal.
If it seems there is excessive smoke coming out, the piston rings or other parts may be very worn.
Jesus it's raining here again I think we skipped summer and went straight to winter again. I can't work on the truck in this weather I guess I can work on the renos.
Yes I miss the fishing because there is so many good places. I used to go to a lake sometimes and be the only person there. Mainly fished for Pickerel(Walleye) but I fished Steelhead, Lake Trout, Bass, and Northern Pike too.
What I did was the centre the console between the visors there is a natural hump down the head-liner it fits there really nice. Then I just pressed the console against the head-liner it left indents where the clips go. Then I just cut small hole to explore a bit. Use a sharp knife new blade will...
Pics of the install it's pretty straightforward I used a carpet knife to cut the headliner where the clips are. In the EC the holes for the console line up perfectly. Another cut up front and a clip to secure it. I used an anchor bolt as there is a hole to put it in. I wired the power from the...
Yeah it's funny I have a full size garage and a 12 x 20 workshop and I'm working outside in my driveway and complaining about the rain. The reason I can't get into the garage at the moment is I'm doing some renos in the house so the garage is a laydown area and storage. Anyway I finished a...
I was under the hood of my 6.5 and found a bonus the PO added a racor r45s oil prefilter setup before the FFM. I guess he must have cared for this vehicle. Who knows what else I will find. I'm currently adding tow mirrors like 88gmctruck put on his truck. The mirrors look better than stock...
Wow five pages of members and apparently I'm the only one who grew up on the Northern side of the Great Lakes in Thunder Bay. I was there most of my life then I joined the Navy and moved to the West Coast.
You are right about home-port but I work on subs so I get to spend a fair amount of time on both coasts. I tried the east coast but it didn't really impress me. I have sailed out there quite a bit. I was in St John's last March I figured they called it the ROCK for a reason well seeing the view...
All the way to NFLD I did the trip from Halifax to Victoria with a tent trailer back in 05. It's a nice summer trip we went around Lake Superior some people use the HWY 11 but I grew up in Thunder Bay so it was kind of nice to drive through it again. Are you just going back for vacation? that's...
My wife is pretty good with guiding me in;) but when I don't have the tool box in the back I can see my hitch just fine however I have a 5er so the hitch is right over the axle makes it a little easier.
Here is a question for you about your pop tester I was pricing out parts and can build one...
I have to take back my previous statement about glowshift there gauge was not the problem but when I put the 4" exhaust on I guess I must have not been careful enough putting the inner wheel fender back on looks like I snapped it in two. Not the result I was hoping for. I have the boost bolt...
Well first impression is the truck runs about 10 degrees cooler than before and when I step on it the needle climbs but holds at about 95 I think I will modify this truck in stages just to see how it reacts.
This is where the gauges come in, so tomorrow I want to put the sensors in now that I...
