    2001 VW Jetta 1.9L TDI *HELP*

    I need help fellas. I recently purchased an 01 TDI with 214k on it as a beater car to drive to work and stack miles up on. Well I put about 5k miles on it when the oil dummy light came on. I thought maybe with higher miles it was eating a bit and didnt think much of it until I went to add some...

    LMM/Allison Cooler?

    With consideration to my up coming tow across the prairie, I began to look into improving the cooler on my LMM. It looks like there might two options. PPE makes a kit for 400 some bucks I think, and Mike L appears to possibly have a kit as well. Everything else I read looked like guys were...

    Hauling Hay and DOT

    Hey guys. I want to take my truck and trailer up to NW Iowa and haul back some Hay to Colorado. At first glance the price is right and I am making the trip either way. So I am planning to use the truck below, then a goose neck deck over trailer with a 30' deck. It has to 9k single wheel axles...

    Service Stabilitrak

    Gents, I was driving down the road yesterday and for no obvious reason my truck threw a DTC P0700 and the "Service Stabilitrak" message came on and it limped. I know the P0700 is as generic TCM code telling the engine to reduce power, I believe. The only other thing i noticed, is that...

    Michelin LTX A/T2 vs M/S2

    I have read everything I can find on these tires and at the end of the day im not sure which to pull the trigger on. I am leaing to the AT2 w/ the 60k mile warranty. The MS2s have a 70k mile warranty and are $100 bucks less for the set, but they look like grandpa tires. Anybody have any...

    Chasing an electrical issue

    I need some help fellas. My rig is throwing me a P0571 code for the brake A circut sensor, or something close to that effect. I know there is a sensor up near the brake pedal/firewall that could be bad, but I suspect its more than that (maybe) Thing is I pulled the auxilary chord out and...

    05 Dash/Guage failure

    Gentleman, My buddy's dash is going out with the classic speedometer failure. I know it was common in those trucks and when I had my '03 I knew of several places that would send you a new one and the best place to get a good price/unit to get the issue fixed. But its been so long that I dont...

    White smoke

    Since I put my exhaust on, I noticed upon start up that I get some white smoke when the truck is cold. Seems to go away when the motor warms up. Checked my balance rates and they are well within spec. Where else could this come from?

    Duramax EGR Blocker vs. EGR Disable vs. EGR Delete

    Good read for anybody just getting into this stuff, from Kennedy. If somebody has a dumbed down version of how the EGR actually works that might help too. Duramax EGR Blocker vs. EGR Disable vs. EGR Delete Warning: Emissions tampering is unlawful on any motor vehicle used for on road...

    New Exhaust in progress!

    Well I decided to get the old exhaust off my truck and start with the new. I was going to do a write up, but I took the old off back to front and only removed thettransmission cross member to do it. Hardly any need for explanation. The bolts that didn't want to come loose broke with the impact...

    Torqueshift in Honda Accord??

    Guys I replaced the radiator in my rollerskate Honda Accord last night and found the tranny fluid to be bad, real brown. Can I drain out as much as possible and replace it with the leftover half gallon of TorqueShift I have on the shelf from my LB7? I dont know if the Accord would be happy with...

    Bilsteins

    Guys I'm trying to narrow down which Bilsteins I need for my truck. Seems like there are a ton of options. I'm putting the 2" blocks under the rear leaf springs, then cranking the t-bars up about 2"-2.5". I am assuming I need to find a shock that compensates for this, and not one that...

    Transynd pricing

    I am thinking of going to Transynd in the Ally. I ran the comparable Amsoil in my "03 ally and it looked/smelled burnt after 60k. (I was whoopin on it bad at that point) But anyways did more reading and the temp tolerances on the Transynd seem to make the stuff bulletproof. I called around...

    HELP! '94 2.2 Litre Honda Accord Engine

    I need help from somebody who knows this motor pretty good. I'm burning about 1 quart an oil an hour! Ok the car is mint with 114k miles. I bought it from an older couple, so I could use it for a gas saver. They were the original owners and were very serious about taking care of it. When I...

    2009 Wheel/Brake and Suspension changes

    Ok guys. Heres what I want to do. My 2009 LMM CC sits way too low. FIRST QUESTION - Why is it I see trucks of the same generation/same truck that sit 3" higher than other trucks? (Mainly the 2007.5-2010s) From what I can tell, they came from the factory that way. I'm not talking about a lift...

    Folded my Tailgate in half...

    So, dont drag two 3x3x8 hay bales off your truck at the same time, turns out your tailgate will buckle. I'm guessing it was about 16-1800lbs.... For the record it was somewhat of an accident, I wouldnt expect the tailgate to put up with that, but things didnt really go as planned!:mad2: Does...

    LMM Exhaust

    Guys I'm looking for a full exhaust for my LMM. I am going to tune with EFI and ditch the entire DPF. I believe an LBZ kit will fit with a little hanger modifcation. I have long hated the bottleneck at the end of the stock down pipe which has always put me in the, cost vs efficiency, debate...

    Clearance/Running lights

    Hey guys, I have a set of the OEM running lights for my truck (nbs) that I want to install, but I don't have a model truck handy that I can pull measurements off. If I had a dealership close I would jump on top of one of theirs, but I don't. Any chance I can talk somebody into measuring their...

    So I was looking at a brand new truck the other day and the leather seats now come with coolers on them, the interior on the truck was exactly the same as my 2009 LTZ with an added button next to the seat heater. Does anybody know if I could put these newer seats in my 09" and make it work with...
