I saw Matuva is looking for an intake manifold and offered to help if I could since he is outside the USA and not easy to get one there. I came across this truck and was wondering if I could make it worthwhile parting it out. http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/2283060419.html I don't care to...

I am trying to find a good spot to mount a fuel pressure gauge. I don't want pillar mount and already have boost and egt in the overhead. The only open spot I can think of is the pocket to the right of the climate control. I was hoping to keep that pocket. Is there any other possible place to...

I am trying to figure out the best way to run a hoist back and forth on an ibeam. It is about 17' long. I know they make trolleys with powered wheels but I do not want that. I want it pulled back and forth. I had originally planned on using a winch and winding 2 cables on it but I don't think...

It looks like my oil pressure switch is dieing again. What is a decent brand to get. I am on the second one from Carquest. I need one with 2 spade push on connectors. (not a grounding one) It is running fm100 pumps which don't let fuel through when not running.

How do I make it so it doesn't do windows updates and restart while in sleep mode? It does it in the middle of the night and always wakes me up from the fan and hard drive noise.

I am looking for overall width measurements of actual trailers. (not just what they are supposed to be) I have seen some that are over 102" wide. Is more than 102" allowed to the outside of the fender or tires?

What is the maximum boost that a ppe boost valve allows? I am only seeing 26 to 28 with 30 for a bit if it is going up fast. I thought I used to get at least 32.

I have been trying to decide which way to do it. I have seen some posts on other forums about inaccurate reading from the wastegate hose. Does is really make much of a difference?

I just put a set of Hummer wheels on my truck. The PYO caps don't seem to grab good enough on the lug nuts. Do I need to cut those little feet off so they go in farther? I am not sure I like the chrome caps on the aluminum colored wheels. Will it look better if I spray paint the caps with...

I am looking for opinions on digital gauges. I am looking at the Autometer Cobalts. How do they compare to regular gauges? I am planning on putting them in the overhead console. One of the reasons I am thinking of getting the digital ones is because of the angle. Also, why do fuel pressure...

What would cause this? Defective tire?

I have been going on longer trips lately which I would prefer not to get stranded on. I always keep the hot juice on the highest setting even when towing (set to defuel 4-5 shift only)and have almost since I got the truck. (somewhere around 55-60K miles) When I got it, everyone on the DP was...

What is the best MIG welder I can get in the $500 price range? I don't mind buying used if I can get something better for the same price. What should I be looking for? I have been using my brother's Lincoln weldpak 100. I want to get something better and that is setup for gas instead of just...

Who has replaced their batteries and how old were they? If I start plugging in my truck I should be able to make it at least another year but otherwise it isn't going to start the next time it is a few degrees below 0. I don't especially want to spend $150 on batteries if I can put it off...

The colder it gets the harder it is to move the shift lever. Last winter I could barely get it into drive. Now that it is getting cold again it is getting real hard to move again. I assume it is the cable? Is it a simple job or should I expect to be at it a whole day?

My dad had an '02 GMC Sierra Denali with 6.0 liter that has been getting a random misfire code. Sometimes it flashes the SES light while driving. So far the fuel and air filters and spark plugs were changed and the MAF was cleaned. Is there a common cause for this or is it going to be a lot of...

This morning the brake light, anti-lock light and SES light all came on. I think it is stuck in 2nd gear when it will move otherwise it just flashes the shift indicator and won't move. Any ideas what it can be?

Can it hurt anything driving through water? The road I usually take to work in under water for a short section. I think it is only a few inches in the middle and I usually go fairly slow. It looks like it will be a long time till it goes down (if ever) and was wondering if I should be taking a...

I am trying to decide what to do about it. Over a year ago I found the hole in it and all the oil gone. I just slapped some JB weld on it and refilled it. In the last couple weeks it started clunking again when coming to a stop. (It was doing it till I refilled the transfer case last time) I...

Today I noticed (with the engine off) I can turn the steering wheel about 3" before I feel anything. It is more like 4-5" till the tire starts to move. I think it is all in the steering box. How much is normal.
