deiter5262 · Aug 14, 2011

(not sure where to post this guys)

Hey guys i plan on entering my truck in the NHRDA show n shine and running my truck on the dyno in Topeka, KS for the first time! I need someone to help install a new HPOP for me and fix an oil on the back of the motor. Also, i need to get my front leaf spring bushings replaced they squeek all the time and are annoying as hell!

Also,

I might have a carrier bearing out on my drive shaft that needs addressed! Anyone in the KC area that has a lift or shop and wants to help me out and make a little money??

I really don't want to take it to a shop and i have no where to work on it here at my new place Kansas City.

Where is Benton, Ks at Vander? I really do need to get my oil leak fixed. I will be at NHRDA drags on Saturday guys, if you see me come say hi. I'll be putting my truck on the dyno and show n shine. I didn't change out stock HPOP like I had wanted, we are going to see what Beans tuning and BDP stage 2's register on the dyno.

You forgot to tell him to bring beer in exchange for work! :shocked:

Yeah. What Dillon said.

dirtboy25 · Sep 8, 2011

What part of KC? I'm an hour south of O'lathe.

Unfortunately my schedule is pretty tied up this weekend. I'm off until tuesday, If I can make time I can probably swing up there one night.

Edit: I didn't realize this thread was almost a month old. Have you gotten everything fixed yet?

deiter5262 · Sep 8, 2011

Nope, haven't gotten it fixed. I live up in Prairie Village area right now but work down south in Overland Park, Ks.

I will be there Saturday guys w/ beer in hand, honestly i had someone tell me that it could be valve cover gaskets I find that hard to believe. I will look you guys up. We will have to find out where it is coming from and diagnose it before I can get parts unfortunately.

Look forward to meeting ya'll!

vanderchevy18 · Sep 8, 2011

Highly doubt valve cover. You need to clean the living crap out of the engine and check to see exactly where its coming from.

Shootingstar · Sep 10, 2011

If the motor has been apart ck the oil dipstick tube. The o-ring was missing on mine and it can make a hell of a mess in a hurry.

deiter5262 · Sep 18, 2011

Not dipstick, i did check that actually. (the motor has only had injectors/glow plugs done to it) I had a C-12 cat do that to me once when I was back working for as a shop mangr after college for a while. I think it is something to do with the turbo but maybe need to put die in the oil or simply clean the hell out of it ..then check.
