A local Community association is looking to score some fundraising monies, they have had a truck pull and a rodeo this year alone. I want to approach them about an all out truck festival. A 4 wheel Jambo to scale. To include a burn out contest, a dyno trailer, show and shine, truck pulls and or...

I'll do it for you! Lack of maintenance! I figure this filter has 10K on it, I changed it just before vacation last year, when I did the oil that time, the last oil change was at work during lunch, didn't even think to check it then, had to rush thru it. I change the fuel filter with every oil...

Proof that the time we spend speculating would be best spent reading! I went to the Nation and started reading threads on waste gates, then boost issues, I stumbled on a thread that described my symptoms to the T, I read on....... No Way it couldn't possibly be that simple, That's what I said...

My trans guy doesn't feel it's the converter, nor do I any longer. If in fact if it were a failing sprag it would react the same way under hard load, I tested stall speed, 4 wheel high with the brakes locked, stall speed seems right and the truck almost drives thru the brakes! I have been able...

I think the sprig is weak, it locks up fine in the lower gears were the load isn't too great on the sprag, in the higher gears the bigger load on the sprag forced it to slip. Of coarse this is speculation at this point, the trans shop will tell me more tonight!

Its not a boost leak at all! Just took it for another ride shifts from 1 to 2 fine going into third is when the problem occurs, at full throttle the engine will not gain RPM, I beleive the Sprag in the torque converter gave up, I have a trip to the trans doctor that built the tran last. 2 year...

I have learned to dismiss the negative comments of some and look for the information I need! Thanks for the information, I figured I would have to tear into it and check it out! I should replace all the boots while I am in there. I might do a couple other mods while there as well.

Thanks Tom, funny thing is I set my self up and didn't even realize it. Just trying to be descriptive to maybe have a better chance at diagnosing this issue.

Cleaned Henry up yesterday and took him to a car show about a mile from the house, I was the only Diesel there! Henry was looking good and as I left a did a big smokey burn out which isn't like me but the car show was at my old high school, I was reliving the old days! Then I started having...

Henry is acting really strange! Today I pulled out and jumped on him hard WOT, he pulled hard till he shifted, as soon as he shifted, he fell on his face, no boost! Kept my foot down to understand why?, Smoked like crazy ran only about 2500RPM. Let out of the throttle then eased back into it...

Got the 4" on tonight at my brothers, Took 2 hours and I welded all the seems! Sounds good, just a little louder in the cab with the windows up, you can actually tell there's a turbo on it now tho! Pictures to follow!

Your probably right, The Mud Grapplers have caused enough hearing damage that I might not be able to hear the absence of a muffler!

On too the next stage of the project, I rang up SWAMPS this afternoon and ordered an MBRP 4" turbo back with out the muffler! I hope to install it on fathers day! Happy fathers day to me! Can't wait to hear it!

I just spent the last hour installing the new FoMoCo trailer plug assembly onto Henry, I was getting tired of changing the trailer plug every year cause the aftermarket ones rot out from the liquid salt PA uses on the roads. 130.00 was a bit expensive but I think it will be worth it! Any way, I...

Two years ago a fat guy in a red suit brought me a Recon under gate LED strip and the under door strips as well, it is now two years later and only one of the three strips still works, there was always at least two to ten dim LEDs in the strips at any one time. Is there another big name in LED...
