My old laptop died..... I'm in need of burning a chip for a guy so I slapped the software on my work laptop with Windows 7 (just like my old laptop). I get nothing but error messages saying "No Hardware Found" Doesn't matter what my COM settings are, what USB port I am trying, how many or how...

Thoughts?

I'm tired of tripping over all this stuff in the shop - so its time to clean up! 1997 12V Cummins w/215 pump. This came out of a wrecked truck and then was installed into a 1968 Chevy C30. I bet it has less than 60K miles total on it (I think the motor had 39K on it when it was swapped, but I...

OK - I believe that I have an NP273 tcase right now that when coasting down to a stop and it downshifts with enough load it grinds/clicks. Its either the tcase or the transmission - and I have a good record with a fair amount of time on the transmission.... so I'm skeptical its the transmission...

Come out and have fun and enjoy the day. Rumor has it there will be a dyno at the ground from 9am to 5:30pm as well. I'll be there for the COTPC truck pulling and you'll likely find me at the big end of the track.

Ok guys - I've come to terms that my Dmax needs to be on 20 inch rims wrapped in some 37 inch rubber to get the proportions right. Here is the best pic I have of the truck since it is under construction - sitting on 18s wrapped in 35x13.50 ATZs: The truck when finished is going to have an...

OK guys - I bought this a couple of years ago - it is a common rail 4BT otherwise known as an ISB170 - it is 170hp right out of the box before you start tinkering with it - making it an awesome candidate for a daily driver fuel sipper engine conversion. It has a 5 speed Allison 1000 with it, all...

There is a continued interest in mechanically injected 7.3 Powerstrokes - so I am building this sticky to contain as much information as possible on the subject and maybe some of the guys actually building them can share some info. Lets get the fun and easy stuff out of the way - pictures...

PSA is now over 6K members strong!

So this afternoon I've been troubleshooting a 7.3 and I need some opinions. Its a little slow to turn over - about 130-150 RPMs - that could be a starter issue, but I think its mostly unrelated to the rest. Sometimes - it just doesn't build ICP pressure turning over - it only gets up to...

Over the years several times the idea of having a very responsive turbo setup either in a single or a compounded setup has arisen many times. On many of those occasion things get discussed like a supercharger for instantaneous response, small turbos for no lag, VGTs, etc..... Often I've brought...

As many of you might remember or recall - I had my race motor up for sale on PSN some time ago. Well it sold and as the arrangement that I have worked out with the new owner - the motor is getting a full rebuild (part of my asking price) - and installed into his truck with a set of custom build...

The time has come for me to correct GM's major failure with their Silverado HD truck line - the crappy IFS front end. My solution: an '05 Superduty Dana 60 front axle, 4 link suspension, Icon coilovers, a Ford NP273 transfer case - plus some additional changes like 7" lift, a Dodge AAM 11.5 rear...

I have a truck in the shop right now that has an ATS Stage III transmission in it and the trucks owner would like to sell this transmission and get a stock core transmission in return. Here is what I know: This transmission is still installed in the truck - but can be removed almost any...

I'm curious if anyone knows where the vacuum control valve to run the 4x4 hubs is located and if they have a part number for it. I'm currently putting an '05 Ford front axle under my Dmax and just decided that I needed the vacuum auto hubs to works and don't have a Ford truck handy to look at...

OK guys - I am looking for a set o tires in the 35-36" size range to be mounted on 20x9.5 rims on a dually project I am working on. I've been leaning towards a Mickey Thompson ATZ or MTZ tires - but am open to other suggestions - even maybe a bit bigger on size if needed to get the tire I need...

What are the chances of getting our PM storage limits bumped up? 150 messages get filled up pretty damn quick....

Didn't someone have a NAPA number (or some other number) for the front pump seal on the Haldex pump being used for the Gen3 setups? I've got a pump here with a blown seal and figured having a PN would save me from having to look up and cross reference it. Thanks, Jason

Ok guys - I'm tired, frustrated, and thats not a good combination. Here is the deal: I have a truck in the shop with a 15 degree oil pump and a Gen3 style pump - the pumps are feeding 400/200 hybrids. There is a pull on Saturday that this truck MUST make. The truck will build ICP like a champ -...
