    Window Woes

    Hi guys. Living here in the NE, I have terrible salt/rust problem. Seems the salt gets trapped inside the door panel, and the inside of mine isn't looking too good. I have no power, just handcrank window. Problem is, whatever the 2nd scissor attachment to the window must have let go...

    New LED brake/turn lights in the rear.... But now flasher goes fast???

    Just replaced some old lights on the rig with some nice LED brake/turn/marker units from Harbor Freight. Everything works great, however the flasher goes fast as if I have a bulb out, even though all lights are working. I assume its because the LED doesn't draw the same voltage as the old...

    Dually Rim Question

    I obtained a replacement dually rim. Had a tire put on it, and went to install it. Now the HUB Hole is about 1/4 larger than my hub, leaving 1/8 space all the way around the hub. Lugnuts line up perfect. My other rims are tight around the HUB hole. Is this no good? The rest of the...

    Oblonged lug nut holes...

    I aquired a rim and most of the holes are oblonged. I think I read that these are hub centric instead of lugcentric ?? Any thoughts or just a big fat no-no?

    Tuning a 6.5 with stock Chip & Turbo Master.

    I have recently just REALLY backed off my TM and I have way more power at low rpm with less boost. In fact, Unless your calling for high fuel demands, boost will make you slower, not faster I think. For my stock setup I have this thing so backed off climbing steep highway grades at 65 I'm...

    Dual to single t-stat

    I need to fix my quick disconnect. I'm going to buy a backup T-stat housing so I can have one on hand, when I make this repair to guarantee no down time. If I find a single housing, can I use that? Or is there more parts than just the tstat housing involved in switching from singe to...

    MRB's 1997 Chevy K3500 DRW 6.5 Turbo Diesel

    Should have created this thread years ago to track maintenance, and progress on the ol' girl. Gave the girl some love today. At 143,000 Miles, changed oil with mobil-1 10-40 HIgh Mileage Formula, and a grease-job. Adjusted rear brakes up, replaced front pads with Napa Ultra-Premium Brake Pads...

    Harmonic Balancer

    Paranoia from an exhaust leak and I notice a wobble in the Harmonic Balancer so i'm swapping it out. (Hopefully I'm not just wishful thinking) I can use any pulley installer to put the HB Back on? The noise went away with high idle, sounded like it was coming from the turbo downpipe, but...

    She passed her first emissions!

    I guess our state started doing them on my year. I was previously exempt the last few times. It was horrible hearing her scream like that with me in the other room, not even there to sooth her! 3 or 4 times, must have been WOT for 3-4 seconds a piece. ROAR! :eek: I told the guy if any...

    My shiny new IP :)

    Well I jumped in on Bison's score, and I couldn't be happier! These are warranty take-off's. And as we all know, when PMD symptoms struck, the IP/PMD would get changed. This thing looks fantastic! I wasn't expecting it to look this good!:thumbsup: I may have it benched sometime, but if my IP in...

    Backwards turbo question.

    Just thinking about this... what would happen.. What would happen if you had a turbo installed so the engine's intake air stream would spin the turbine, and by spinning the turbo the other end would suck the exhaust out, causing negative pressure or a vacuum to suck out the exhaust gasses...

    Dumbo Ear Mirror Modification

    The bottom hole rotted out, so I re-inforced the others with SS fender washers in the inside, and rebent the bottom brace to eliminate it, and used it up top for the support. It looks MUCH MUCH better.
