    starter fluid

    i was reading an article about diesels and ether. It basicly said that its harmful because diesels are so high compression to light off the diesel fuel. Ether fires at a much lower compression causing the the kaboom to happen when the piston is still on its way up on the compression stroke...

    Keeping it warm overnight

    my solution for night time was to set 2 different alarm clocks and each time one went off i went outside and started my idi and let it run for 15 min and then went back to bed. I got the timing down to only having to start it once throughout the night so it would be warm enough to start in the...

    my own custom exhaust...

    i just took it for a drive about 20 min ago and I'm happy with it. I just drove around the parking lot and i love to be able to hear the whirl of the turbo. Thats exactly what I wanted. My truck doesn't smoke a whole lot so thats a plus but i'm sure it will build up over time. I'll really be...

    my own custom exhaust...

    So I was bored today after work and hacked my exhaust off before the muffler. I think it was still the stock muffler at 288k. I put on a 45 degree turn down. (picture one) Is this bad to have the exhaust not really exit from out underneath the truck? I did save an elbow/ tip from stock...
