Learned about proper base coats because I can...

    Preorder Opportunity for CDD Intercooler Kits and 3" Downpipe Kits

    I ended up swapping out core supports and radiators when my radiator blew up, cheaper then get just radiator lol. Though I’m kinda interested in your pipes for intercooling and intake side of it. I’ve already got intake hat from Russ and a Cx racing 31x12x3 cooler my piping system is just some...

    recommend headlight upgrade?

    I got some 30$ lasfit LED’s in my bricknose 3 years ago and they still work great, even the little fans are still running. The pattern is better than stock doesn’t just go everywhere because I got the right ones for my housing design. Plug and play, last longer, cheaper than the high current...

    Windshield replacement myself?

    Yeah they told me there was too much surface rust and they can’t do it without taking it into a shop, and then the shop gave me a 4-800$ quote to remove the windshield and fix the minor surface rust and put some primer on it and the. It’s still 300 for safelite or any of the local companies to...

    Best IDI electric lift pumps + Specs

    Lots of people running the carter 4070, holds a constant 5 psi in my truck no lack of flow issues either with 90cc and stage 1 injectors. Mechincal pump even new would drop pressure when revving the motor, with this pump no pressure drop

    Stiction eliminator?

    So heard nothing but good things about stiction eliminator, yes know it’s a powerstroke thing mostly but I was interested in trying it to see if my intermittent valve ticking noise would stop and since I put it in earlier today my truck sounds like a old sewing machine non stop, the rest of the...

    Windshield replacement myself?

    They said they wouldn’t do it unless I sent it to body shop and they quoted me 5-800$ to “clean it up” then safelite wants 350$ to first remove it and then body shop then instal it again. Insurance was gonna cover it until safelite said there was potential body damage under the windshield so now...

    Windshield replacement myself?

    Stopped most the leaks into my cab, windshield is cracked and seal is so bad I can just push it out with some pressure, question is how hard is this gonna be to do myself? Safelite said no because there is some surface rust around the windshield it really doesn’t look that bad it was caused by...

    To continue project or??

    The windshield people said my truck has to go to a body shop to fix what looks like some light surface rust that was under the silicone around my windshield, if insurance doesn’t cover that like they would the windshield then looks like I’ll be pulling it myself and wire wheeling it, primer and...

    To continue project or??

    I might pull it out of the truck and at least take parts from it, it’s got a serpentine system and a working pump and injectors on it so it’s worth a few dollars in parts, won’t hurt to take it apart I’m just not sure how to get it out of my truck when I get it home I’m lacking a engine stand...

    To continue project or??

    I do have another option however being a single father I cut my hours back at work to raise my daughter while she’s little, so I don’t make a ton of money, I claimed my taxes to take max out of paychecks as a sorta of “savings account” so around February time I’ll be getting a good some of money...

    To continue project or??

    So the “new” motor is free! If I pull it anyway. It sounds fine but sat for 5 years it seems to run alright but the moisture and grey stuff on the oil fil cap concerns me some. Idk what I’m getting myself into but the truck says 300k motor runs Alright doesn’t have a rebuild sticker on it so...

    To continue project or??

    Yeah that’s what I’m worried about as well but really hoping I can figure out how to do all this, I know my fair bit of stuff and I did auto classes every year of high school tearing down and rebuilding various small motors and been working on my trucks since 16 but never accomplished a full...

    To continue project or??

    So I’ve been talking to a buddy of mine who I get all my parts from and looks like my plan is just gonna he swap out my motor sometime this winter hopefully. It’s got a tick, it’s dumping oil and that’s gonna be the easiest way to fix all this and I want a r and d or Russ camshaft installed...

    To continue project or??

    Okay also the other probably I couldn’t solve before is now also becoming a issue is my extreme oil leaks, up to 3 gallons per 3000 miles... appears to be front main seal, injection pump gear housing, timing cover possibly, turbo inlet oil, and my injection pumps timing advance leaking fuel...

    To continue project or??

    Hopefully it all works out fine, my insurance actually covers it free of charge I learned today so waiting on a call back for appointing schedualing! Stopping any more water damage and rust is gone be my first fix, then I’ll start to repair the damage next

    To continue project or??

    Well after that I pulled out beads of silicone that was stuck to dirt, pine needles and full of moss. Windshield isn’t even attached anymore I can probably push it out with little effort so I think what I should be doing here is calling a place to come and change it(unless it’s easy to do...

    I’m also certain this is probably leaking the whole perimeter of the windshield looks like this

    To continue project or??

    Some of the firewall damage and my attempt to repair that’s been holding for 4-5 years now but everything around it is deteriorating. Right now I’m sealing the gaps with some permtex general purpose stuff to slow the water entering the cab. Hopefully I can keep it somewhat dry this winter so I...

    Loss of power during acceleration

    Yeah parts store pumps are hit and miss. They aren’t calibrated carefully like the high quality rebuilders do so that maybe how that pumps gonna run but you also can’t be sure on that until it’s timed properly
