    Allison Transmission upgrade

    If I want to add more HP/Torque what added items would I need. I was thinking of a re-manufactured engine with upgrades. But my tranny seems solid except for c2 and c3 likely burnt since I been throwing Po735 codes, so would a rebiult be better? Seems a remanufactured would be better as your...

    Allison Transmission upgrade

    Although this "old" truck has issues, the injectors were all replaced before we bought it, maybe 100 yds. of travel. As for the head gasket issue, it to was resolved at same time.

    Adding a secondary filter on lb7

    Leak is not coming from the OEM filter, it is coming in the location of the added filter under the truck behind the driver door. I have been under looking and I can not see anything dripping, yet there is full on the ground. Checked all the fittings and no sign of leaks. Also I drove around...

    Adding a secondary filter on lb7

    Ok, problem. Replaced OEM filter (Racor) and now I have a fuel leak after driving around for 150 miles after putting in a secondary BD remote filter under the truck. Still able to drive around so I am not losing prime so I am thinking in may be a return line. Any ideas to locate this problem...

    Adding a secondary filter on lb7

    Jeff, Went with the Donaldson as it came with the BD Remote Fuel Filter setup (Ebay for $89.65). Pending on which is easier to purchase I could also go with the Cat 1R-0749 as we have a Cat dealership on the way to my moms about 50 miles away. They seem to do the same job. I should be...

    By adding a secondary fuel filter w/ 2 micron, put stress on the cp3 or do I NEED to add a lift pump at this time. Not heavy towing at this time. Or am I just over reacting?
