Air pump delete
My hvac was stuck on defrost and cruise control not working. I had a line leaking so I ran a line straight to the brake booster with a T to the tuna can brake warning light sensor. If I ever get around to putting my hydro boost setup on I won’t really need my vacuum pump. I guess it depends on...- austin92

ZF-5 w/4x4 swap
Every time I back my trailer UP my driveway I b***h and moan about that stupid effing engineer that decided on that effing reverse gear ratio. He must’ve been “in with” clutch manufacturers and doctors wanting to sell more anger management pills. Maybe he wanted to be a comedian or was a world...- austin92

10.25" Sterling question
You can put a short spline yoke on a long spline pinion. That’s how it’s set up in my truck after I regeared. I also used a ratech crush sleeve eliminator Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92

Fun with numbers :) (Oil Analysis)
I sent them a sample of the factory fill oil on my new mustang. Blackstone makes it too easy. Just request a collection kit for free, fill the bottle, fill out the form, container has prepaid shipping label already on it. It literally couldn’t be easier... they sent me the report BEFORE charging...- austin92

Turbo install
Well it’s still running open down pipe, I haven’t taken it to the exhaust shop yet. That was my thought, something on the turbine side was off. I think I can distinguish 2 different sounds, the compressor is faint, then the sound you can hear in the video. Could anything have happened when I...- austin92

Self Flushing Coolant Line
I like to keep tap water out of my cooling system so I flush with distilled. I’ll buy 2 bottles of the prestone cooling flush cleaner stuff, drain the radiator, fill with distilled and cleaner and run it for a week or so. Then drain, fill with distilled, drive to work and back, and repeat until...- austin92

Aftermarket gauges recommendations
Every one of my gauges are auto meter z series. I have water temp, oil pressure, and diff temp on the pillar. Boost and pyro on the steering column. Fuel pressure and voltage near the wts light. They’ve been pretty good but I’ve noticed some quirks. The oil pressure doesn’t like 15w-40. It moves...- austin92

Turbo install
No soot on any of the up pipe connections. Small spot on the firewall from the down pipe leaking at the v band though. Had a few turns left to hold the wastegate fully shut. Brought the boost up to about 5.5psi but that’s all she had. Still smoking enough to assure me there’s plenty fuel, egts...- austin92

Turbo install
It was set between 8 and 8.5 when I put the pump on about a year ago but my facet pump drops from 6 to 3-4psi when it’s floored. I used the copper gasket spray on all exhaust connections. I’ll get a better look for soot leaks when I get off work in the morning, I was pretty upset last night and...- austin92

Turbo install
Drove it tonight. Small oil leak on the new valve cover and oil drain but I had to fight for 4psi and no whistle. It has the 60-1 mod. Glanced under before I called it a night and didn’t see any soot on the crossover pipe or wye. The oring is in the turbo/intake snail connection, gasket is under...- austin92

Turbo install
I didn’t notice that was the issue until I tried Wes’s way with the oil drain bolted on before install. Couldn’t get everything lined up so I pulled the wye off and I still couldn’t get the the drain in the grommet. Then I knew something was wrong lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- austin92
