    AC pump cycling

    Should my AC pump be cycling on and off fairly constantly, even while the heater is on? It would make sense when using AC, but not heater

    manual converter lock.

    I read on here some place where a guy was talking about being able to lock his converter with a toggle switch. Can a guy explain how to do this? It would be nice to be able to do it while towing. Thanks.

    Engine fan wiring.

    Can anyone give a break down of the wires going in to my fan? There's a plug at the top of the radiator. I'm installing an electric fan kit with a controller. The controller wires directly to the battery but has several probes on it to turn the fans on several different ways. My stock fan is set...

    what fluid? SP or LV? Built trans

    What fluid y'all running in your built transmissions? Just got my Elite stage 4 with tow upgrade in and am ready to fill with oil. In 08 Ford ran the LV? Then switched to SP? In 09.. I may be backwards on that but you get the idea.. Not sure which to go with and of course Elite is closed today.

    turbo drain help

    Haven't confirmed yet, but I think my new oil leak might be a turbo drain. Just did everything from the heads up, including a stage 2 intake manifold. One thing the mechanic helping me out noticed the new manifold didn't have the bolt studs sticking up like the factory manifold so the turbo...

    Reverse engagement shutter

    Hey guys, stock Trans, Gearhead tuning. over night it started having a delay when I shift in to reverse. With that delay there is a bit of a shutter that rocks the truck slightly as it goes in to gear.backs up fine once in gear. Oil and filter was done at Ford last summer. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Evans waterless coolant

    So a friend of mine mentioned this waterless coolant to me from Evans. They claim it lasts forever, will not corrode and will not cavitate. It also uses a vented coolant cap so the system runs at 0 psi. For us 6.4 guys this coolant should mean no more rad blow outs, no more holes in the front...

    Sooo I have a new HPFP

    I asked all of you for your opinions about replacing my HPFP while I was in and I was told to do so. Seems when they fail it usually cost a guy the motor.

    BD turbo guard BOV

    If um looking at the instructions correctly I'm thinking if the truck makes less than 30psi boost I need to leave the softer spring in the valve and if over 30 psi, I need to install the heavier spring. Does this sound right?
