    Questions about replacing head gaskets

    Cooling system began to pressurize and as a result my surge tank has been letting go of it's contents. I've been doing a lot of reading before diving in and it seems like the general consensus is to use Fel-Pro head gaskets. I have some brand new Victor Reinz head gaskets and was wondering...

    Weird Transmission Issue Dropping Out Of OD

    Picked up my truck in Norfolk, VA after shipping it out about 40 days before hand. When I drove it, I noticed that it liked to drop out of OD constantly and of course my MPG suffered. I think I only had about 95 miles on the trip meter when the fuel level needle hit the full line. The...

    Got Slimed!

    This past week my fuel pressure guage went from being ~1.5 psi to a vacuum of over 20 psi! Figured it might have been the OPS or the lift pump since I had nothing coming out of the air bleed screw on the fuel filter. Gave me a good opportunity to install the OPS extension hose from Leroy's...

    Headlight Dimmer Swithch (high beam switch) Keeps Burning Out

    I've gone through (2) dimmer switches in the past two years now. Granted that they have been from Oreilly's so maybe it's cheap junk? I'm thinking about going with an ACDelco one for the 3rd go around. Anyone else have problems with their dimmer switch going bad/ having a short life?

    what's up with my disappearing diesel fuel?

    So back in the week of July 4, 2012 I installed a golden fuel WVO system. Works great but recentlyI've noticed that my fuel guage would hit the "Full" mark at around 75-80 miles whereas before I would see 125-130. What I did notice is that while I'm on my WVO system, the diesel guage overtime...
