    Oh WTF can this damage the internals

    After I pulled the torque convertor, one of the bolts that holds the bell housing to the transmission fell out. I checked the others and all were loose. Or could be tightened I should say. None were to the point of falling out other than that one. The outer cooling fins on TC are a lil chewed...

    01 Allison, Suncoast stage IV w/1056 convertor

    I have approximately 40,000 on the build. Truck is a daily driver. I had removed the transmission myself and brought it down to CT June of last year. The builder installed a stage IV kit from Suncoast. For a while I've been trying to figure out what this strange noise was coming from my truck...

    I put gasoine in the tank- and this is what happened

    I went to get gas to mix the other day. I put the can on the ground then I heard a dog in the car next to me. So I started talking to the dog and next thing you I look at the pump and see 9 gallons pumped already and look down at an empty can. I turned around and sure enough, just out of habit I...

    A link to FedEx custom critical delivery

    I saw this while searching some other stuff. Thought it may interest some of you here. http://customcritical.fedex.com/us/owneroperator/default.shtml

    Uh Oh!

    What happened to the tune libraries? I don't think I grabbed my stock tunes. Part of the reason I put them there was just in case my computer took a dump, and my last one did.

    Another one bites the dust

    I was at a stop light today and when I took off, the punks in the car next to me punched it to try and get by me as it turns to one lane. I hit it to somewhere between 75-90% throttle and smoked him. I know I really shouldn't be bragging about smoking a hyundai, but those punks pissed me off...

    Mazda 626 V6

    It was my buddy. I came up on him and baited him. I waited until I saw him hit, then I hit it and flew by him. I thought maybe he hadn't even tried, but I called him and he said he matted it. We were going about 80 at the start. It was really short. I let off at about 105.

    Pulled for the first time

    Well my brother called me the other morning and asked if I wanted to go pull. I figured what the hell. Not even close to the right tires, but figured it would be fun anyway. I actually went further than some of the people with better tires. I didn't figure I would get more than 20' but I made it...

    Hard hose on an 04 powerstroke

    My brother's 04 has the hard as a rock upper radiator hose. We had suspected the head gaskets were bad before, and he sent it in. They changed the EGR cooler and sent it back. I don't remember why we suspecting the head gasket was bad before. But now the coolant level is steadily dropping and...

    Got my Suncoast IV in last Monday.

    I got it in last Monday, straightened it out on Tuesday. Let it learn some, spiced up my tune a little bit, let it learn again. I'm still fine tuning my tune, but just for the hell of it tonight, I put the shifter in 3 and held the brake until the back tires were just about to break loose. Then...

    What's the danger in increasing the timing too much?

    Just like the title says. I am trying to decrease my EGT's in a certain area. I increased the timing, and dropped from 1500* to 1400* max. I found that in that area, there is a table (B0921 in mine) limiting the timing to 20*in that area. I am not over 20 now, but if I add any timing in that...

    Computer all screwed up

    I was sitting here on my couch on DTR when it wouldn't do anything. I couldn't scroll down to finish reading. I kept hitting ctrl+alt+delete and it still wouldn't do anything. Every now and then it would go down a little. My curser wouldn't even move. I got fed up and just held the power button...

    Found cheap tow mirrors finally

    Not sure where to put this because you can get these for all the trucks. I don't know if you guys remember, but a while back someone posted an ebay seller on diesel place that was selling factory style tow mirrors for $200 shipped. Well, then all of a sudden the guy was getting a ton of orders...

    This is where I'll be reviewing the transmission kit I bought (pics)

    I purchased a kit from PATC. It is supposed to hold 1000 horsepower. The part number is #1000 SRK-L4 First off I would like some opinions on the condition/useability of this kit. I checked it out tonight. One of the c5 clutches seems to have some chips out of the edges. I don't have a very fine...

    Any advice for first my time tearing my tranny apart?

    Any advice for someone installing a kit for the first time? Anything to watch out for? Any balls or springs that go flying, and then you can't find them? Just anything to watch out for in general?

    Did I limp the tranny again????

    Ok Mods I'll let you place this where you think it's appropriate. You'll see after reading that it could go in a number of forums depending on what the real issue is. I was driving along on the highway today. There was a van in the right lane and I was in the left. It kept speeding up and...
