I've been searching and keep coming up with different/conflicting info. I'm looking to take the lift off my truck eventually and go back to a stock suspension/gearing setup. Problem is I am trying to figure out exactly what years are a direct swap. For example, early 99's have different wheel...

Wanted to give everyone a heads up. Today I just finished installing a new backup camera on my truck. It replaces the tailgate latch with a new one that has an integrated CCD camera. There are several brands out on the market, but this one just came out this month: It's made by Rostra, and...

I'm going to be working on my boost leaks soon, found two leak spots at two of the boots, and one intake plenum leaking. Looking for some input here on new boots and some different clamps. Boots at the spider and intake plenums are an older set from Dieselsite. Boots at the intercooler are...

Well, went today and had my truck emissions tested with these injectors. It PASSED!!!! Last year I spent time tweaking my tunes on stock injectors, and the previous years were on stock tuning. With stock tuning and stock injectors, my truck would see these opacity results: 60 mph: 8%-12% 50...

As a novice tuner, this is something I struggle with. I have tried many different combinations of pulsewidth, ICP, timing, etc. The result is always the same... I can't nail down the idle quality. I can have some chop and even at times a slight bit of lope you can feel in the truck, and other...

This is the code that has come up on my truck, and keeping the ABS light illuminated. It came on a few weeks ago. Wife said she was driving, someone cut her off, and she had to slam on the brakes... resulting in the light popping up and staying on. Anywho, brakes seem to work fine. I...

I'm tired of replacing ball joints. The originals lasted quite a long time. The replacements since then have been terrible. I've been using the Moog grease-able ball joints, but they just keep giving me problems about every 15K-20K miles where I have to replace at least one or more. So who...

This isn't a question about my truck, it's someone else's. Take two almost identical trucks running stock HPOP's, and slap the exact same tunes on them. One truck will maintain ICP at 3000 psi at WOT regardless, no matter what. The other truck will hit 3000 psi if you gently roll into the...

My current Kumho's are getting near the end of their life. I've put 53K miles on them so far. One tire is almost at the wear bar thanks to an alignment problem last year. If that didn't happen, I would have probably reached 60K miles. I would have gone back with the Kumho's, but I now can get a...

What is the actual physical range that a stock MAP sensor can see in terms of gauge PSI. Since I don't have test equipment to check myself, I'd like to find out from some folks who do know for sure. After all, I can only get AE to display boost up to a certain point. And it doesn't match the...

Just got back home from making some runs on the dyno. Made 408hp.... still rocking the PMR's. Those are corrected numbers. I didn't get a printout of the uncorrected numbers. Anyway, motor is still alive, and I'll be at Truck Fest on Sunday to make some passes. I need to make a few tweaks to...

Finally got a chance to haul my new (new to me, but 20+ years old) TT up over some mountain passes with these 250/200's. Even with crappy incomplete tuning, the results were fantastic. Some background... my wife and I went camping in Colorado south of Leadville just off the highway that runs...

Just hopped in my truck a few minutes ago. Started fine, batteries are strong. Started driving and got about a mile from the house when I noticed the battery light flickering as I'm driving. So I made a u-turn and came back home. I noticed the light goes out completely at idle. Nothing. It...

It happened today, never did it before as the A/C has always blown cold no matter what. I had my truck idling as I was unhooking a trailer. Got in to move it and noticed the A/C started acting like it was as if I had it on vent. Got out, put the lock on the trailer, got in and started...
