    Another new 12 valve

    I bought my new 12cummins valve about 2 weeks ago and discovered I have a pretty good oil leak. Its comin from the drivers side of the block. But I can't pin point it. Where are the bad about leaking on that side of the engine?

    Sold my IDI, bought a Cummins

    Hey guys, I've recently came in possesion of a 96 12 valve and im in love with it. I bought it very cheap so it needs a little work. I've been tinkering and I know it needs a lift pump, fuel shutoff solienoid, and the 5th gear nut fixed. I have a little bit of white smoke on start-up and I know...

    As some of you may know I had a wheel stud spinning in place and not allowing the lug nut to back off. I bent the stud to cause tension on it and I got it off. In a rush of excitement I hit the stud with a hammer causing it to fall into the hub, didn't wanna do that cause I don;t know how to...

    E4OD Rebuild time...

    This is the last thing I wanted to happen but.... I'm 90% sure its time for this transmission to be rebuilt (It was rebuilt less than 10k ago but the PO drove it with the trans cooler clogged up, the fluid was way too thin and a bad tach sensor plus the TPS is off). All in all the transmission...

    Squeeky Belt

    On my 93 the belt is super squeeky. Its VERY annoying and makes my truck sound like POS :mad: So is there anything I can do about this? Its a surpantine (prolly didn't spell that correctly lol) and it starts squeeking at a very low rpm level so yeah very nerve racking. Any suggestions?

Now it calls for over 6 quarts so should I just dump the whole 7 in it? also I have some lucas to put in. I've just never done this to an E4OD and I don't wanna screw...

    Maybe a Tach sensor?

    I now have a 93 7.3 with an E4OD and you have to shift the trans manualy for it to work right. If you put it in OD then it tries to take off in 3rd. But if you put it all the way down in 1st and manually shift up to OD then it does fine. It has a nice smooth shift to it. Could this be a tach...

    Wanting to build a sled pulling truck

    I've been reading around and following some of the summers truck pulls and realized. Why the heck isn't there any IDI's out there? Out of all the reading I did I only found one and it was a daily driven 17 year olds project. So I know that the best bet would be running a low compression bottom...
