I hate those stupid saturday car shows. One saturday I was watching and they had a guy bend up a set of SS lines like it was nothing. All you do is bend here and bend here and poof it looks like it came from the factory. Somehow I don't think it's that easy. Anyway, you might want to check...

How did this project turn out? Since we know the steering knuckle is the same from 99 - 2000, why couldn't you use a 2000 hub, caliper and rotor? That should keep everything within spec.

If you have a second computer get a USB SATA dock for about $30. When one machine gets nailed just pull the drive and pop it into the SATA dock. Then, use MSE from the other machine (after update and scan) to do a deep scan of the drive. Since the OS isn't active you won't have process...

I have OBD-II so this won't directly apply to me, but I've had other programming for other vehicles and the stock program was really handy. For diesels I would think an emissions optimized program for emissions testing would be a great idea.

I remember reading somewhere that a certain Ford dual piston caliper will bolt on in place of our single caliper. Since then I have not been able to find anything on the subject. I recently replaced my calipers with rebuilt ones from AutoZone. I made sure the pin seals were properly installed...

Even though I would like to I won't add anything to my V10. I have a hard enough time already with the DPF and all of the other associated emissions junk on that truck.

Good luck. I'll be keeping an eye on this one for my 99.

This looks like a nice, functional grill for a 99 Sub. Mine is beat. V10 TDI is the engine to transplant if anything.

That's the way I understood it.

Can you explain more about foaming the panels? I thought about doing that for several reasons, one of which is noise insulation. The reason I didn't do it was due to the possible rust within the panel. I'd like to have a way to coat the insides of the panels and kill any rust before I apply foam.

65 MPH on cruise control seems to be the sweet spot for my truck which produces about 17 MPG. Anything above 65 and the mileage drops like a rock. I think I can squeeze a couple MPG out of the truck by setting the timing, opening up the exhaust and maybe replacing the injectors/thermostat if I...

True. I do think he did a good job reproducing the exact camera angle. Not sure about his sound setup (if it is external or captured from the camera itself). Some are not going to believe the clip or think the clip was doctored to show or not show something. I don't know. Nothing wrong...

The takeaway that I had was the noticeable change in idle quality and pitch. Of course, we don't now if they changed anything else during the swap.

What country is that? The lack of safety equipment is quite a sight.

Here's a before/after video of a fluidampr installation on a 6.2 diesel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYHk6kX-_B0&feature=player_embedded

It sounds like you should buy an OEM damper, drive it for 100,00k then buy another OEM damper and then be done with it. It's not like the FD will make your truck stronger or faster. It is my opinion you would be happier spending the residual $320 on something that will. The FD is like that...

Interesting. Their site states that if you don't physically damage the damper, it won't wear out. Apparently most of the problems arise from installation issues. Over at the other site many years ago they actually had a fluidampr rep/engineer log in and address questions like these. IIRC...

I bought a replacement fuel tank setup from NAPA and I don't recall seeing a check ball or other anti flowback device. It's been running this way for at least 10,000 miles. I wouldn't mind a SS setup with big pipes and fittings, and diesel appropriate filtration, either sock or some other...

Is the Flowmaster cross over stainless?

That sounds like a good plan. The problem may be where I live - the rust belt - so I wonder what kind of used parts I'll be finding locally. On the other hand, I've seen many 99 and earlier subs running around here in great shape. I don't understand why mine rusted out so badly. Main body is...
