    1990 F150 302/AOD Tranny

    So i installed a cooler and no change, it still shutters while accelerating. Im gonna go after the torque converter next, if that doesnt do it then a rebuild it is haha. Do you know if its a 31 or 35 spline?

    1990 F150 302/AOD Tranny

    So you would replace it? Cause I just straight up removed it about a year ago. Now my tranny is acting up, not sure if its a seperate issue or related to me removing that second cooler. I want to say its the torque converter but not 100% sure. I was looking at getting a torque converter but not...

    1990 F150 302/AOD Tranny

    My transmission was set up with 2 coolers, one in the radiator for the engine and the other was infront of the radiator. The one infront of the radiator was rusted out completely and had to be removed. The auto parts stores dont have anything for a replacement. My question to you all is do I...

    Those of you with the Hypermax Turbo Setup

    Well, the last time I used a meter it was at around 8.... Either the meter was screwed up or I didn't use it right even though I followed the instructions to the T.... The problem is gone now though so it really doesn't matter, it has to do with this turbo set-up, being just under the stock...

    Oil pan plug leaking

    Mine used to leak cause there was a plastic ring, almost like a washer, that was cracked... My local autoparts store had something similar and now it stays 100% dry, I would just watch it till your next oil change and when you take it out next inspect the threads on the plug and the pan. If the...

    Those of you with the Hypermax Turbo Setup

    So, about a year ago I installed my hypermax turbo kit and was rather upset with the performance.... I had my fuel pump up 2 and 1/2 flats and had the timing advanced.... I felt like it took FOREVER to build up boost and get it goin.... I knew this couldn't be right.... So I back down the pump...

    Fuel System, Return Side

    Alright, quick question.... Does the fuel system require a fuel return? I don't see why one is required.... I am planning on ridding of the stock mechanical lift pump and filter head. Going with 2 filters and an electric pump. Just curious about the return side of the house.

    Detroit or Cummins?

    That's my reasoning behind a cummins. I can find a detroit with parts, just not performance stuff, which is kind of a bummer. I'm thinking the cummins in the donor truck build and I'll find something else to drop the detroit in to have fun with haha. Ohhhhhhh say a 1960 Peterbilt?

    Detroit or Cummins?

    Detroit or Cummins?

    I'm pretty set on a detroit or cummins. They are just simply badass, and have an extreme amount of HP/torqe when built right. The cummins has A LOT of performance parts available. Not sure about detroit.

    Detroit or Cummins?

    It's going to be a while haha! Once I buy a house, and get the truck here, the gut will begin. I am going to acquire everything first, then build it. As I have learned with custom builds, need all the shit first otherwise it just don't out as planned.

    Detroit or Cummins?

    Alright, so I did a ZF 5 Speed swap a while ago and I've decided to build the donor truck. The spare engine is awesome! I will build that and put it in my current truck when it dies. So, this donor truck has no tranny, and won't have an engine.... The body is pretty good. You know what I see...

    Another C6 question

    Rip it out, burn it all, and replace it with a ZF 5 Speed. ;Sweet

    Measurement requested

    Really? When I did my ZF swap from a C6, I just use the C6 driveline, because the one in my donor truck was FUBAR'd haha! I had no length issues, I mean, its a little shorter but not enough to make any difference.

    c6 trans issues

    So, on your fuel injection pump, there is vacuum throttle type thing (I dunno what its called). Anyway, it shifts your transmission based on where your throttle is at by changing the level of vacuum to the transmission, there is 2 or 3 bolts on this thing and if your looking at your engine, it...

    Towing in Relation to Boost and EGT

    Okay, maybe this will help. Just did a numbers run. So, with the pedal to the floor in 4th gear here is what i was at. 60MPH, 3,000 RPM, 8 PSI Boost, and 1,000 EGT's. I am starting to think that is all this turbo puts out and I have to much maybe.... I am going to call Hypermax on Monday and see...

    Towing in Relation to Boost and EGT

    Okay so the intake side of things is fine, I have a rubber O-Ring to seal it. When I first installed it, it was leaking. I knew this because of the small amounts of oil vapor leaking out. I have no more oil vapor leaking anywhere on the intake side. However, I did find soot where the up pipes...

    Towing in Relation to Boost and EGT

    Thats what I was thinking...... I was like 4 PSI up this mountain? How do I check for leaks haha? I guess just watch for smoke or somethin? If I get up on my truck empty I'll get up to..... 7 or 8. Now, this is the hypermax turbo which doesn't have a wastegate obviously. I guess my boost is low...

    Towing in Relation to Boost and EGT

    Alright so I finally did a test run with my truck and roughly a 5000-6500 LB load. I pulled it up the pass here by my house to what she could do. I was a little.... Worried. I understand the hill, 3rd gear 40 MPH no issues, bout 4 PSI and 900-1000 on the EGT's..... Well, I blow a lot of smoke...
