    What am I missing?

    Ok yall, help a brother out here. I keep getting a random contribution code after I accelerate hard. Say like 60-70 percent throttle. Bucks and jerks. Won't get out of its own way. Now here's what's funny, if I shut it off, starts up and running perfect. If I don't get on it, it won't throw a...

    Trouble in Paradise!

    Well, finally got to the bottom of my heat problem. New thermostat helped alot. Still getting some off the wall temps out of the blue though. Turns out that my return line going to my degas bottle wasnt sealing. Would puke out all my coolant with 0 pressure in the tank. Guess it was like riding...

    Ok yall, finally got my injectors in this weekend. Went with 190/100s. Truck is running great. If I drive it right, there is little to no smoke driving around town.

    Not mine!!!!! Once again I have managed to donate what little time off I get to help someone with their truck. Blowing coolant out the degas bottle like a volcano. Not overflowing with fuel, but its in there. Guy replaces his starter thinking it just quit. More like something locked up. Im...

    Only 2 pages of "today's post" ????

    Just like the title says. I know there's been more than 2 pages worth. Just realized it a minute ago. So with no My threads/replies button, you can't see what all you've missed. Unless you go to that specific sub forum and look for it. ?????????
