    Transmission will not shift properly Help

    Thanks so much for your quick reply. I have one last question, or maybe not. Where is the ground strap that goes to the transmission or is it ground to the engine? I have heard that can be a problem with transmission computer interfaces. Are there any other grounds that you know of that we can...

    Transmission will not shift properly Help

    Hello everyone. I have a neighbor who just bought a 2001 Dodge 3500 4X4 automatic w/Cummings. He got it for a real good price, because the transmission "computer?" is having a problem. Here are the symptoms we've found so far. After starting, he puts it in drive, it starts in second gear, he has...

    Show off your WMO/WVO filtration setups

    Here are some pictures of my setup. I still believe this is the easiest way to go unless you're trying to do a fleet of vehicles. I get my blue jeans from a thrift store, which I tell them to save all the ones they can't sell. I usually wind up with a garbage bag full. They've never charge me...

    Show off your WMO/WVO filtration setups

    One of the easiest filters I have every used is just to take the legs from blue jeans and cut them off above the knees. stitch the bottom of the bluejeans and then take the top of the legs wrapped them around a circle made from welding rod and sew it together suspended over a 5 gallon plastic...

    Officially burning WMO

    I have found the best way to filter WVO is to make some filter socks out of bluejeans legs. Save up your old bluejeans or go to some thrift shop and asked for all the bluejeans that they haven't been able to sell then cut off the legs. sew the bottom of the legs together to seal them up. Then...

    looking at buying a 1990 Dodge

    Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions. I'm looking at a 1990, two-door I forgot to ask whether it was a manual or a automatic. The owner says that the only thing he knows of, that is wrong with it is, it is leaking diesel fuel, around the injector pump. He says, the bodies in good shape...

    here is my weird conversion

    Yes I get a lot of funny looks especially when I take it up the bike week in Daytona. In answer to your other question, I did it for fuel economy. I'll have to admit the project was started by another person. I took his project and refined it. Another reason for the bike is. I have a...

    here is my weird conversion

    fuel tank In answer to your question, yes, the fuel tanks, saddle bags are the only fuel tanks on the bike. The frame had to be modified, and the engine takes up most of the room in the original fuel tank. I hollowed it out and filled it with foam, which cuts down on some of the noise. I have...

    here is my weird conversion

    sprocket a BMW is a shaft drive. It doesn't have a sprocket. The only thing I could do is change out fifth gear in the transmission. The only problem is, I can get a taller fifth gear from a company in Germany but with the exchange rate of euros versus dollars to gear would cost me about...

    Aftermarket fuel gauges and console top cluster

    fuel tank sending unit I too am having problems with my sending unit. In my front tank. I did a search and read all of the articles on the JC Whitney universal sending unit. My question is is this the right sending unit for a 1993. Ford F-250. There seemed to be some question as to the...

    Fuel filter light on again

    I hook up a fuel pressure gauge, and it showed I had 7 psi. I should've taken the hose and held it down in a jar to see if I was getting any bubbles. I'll probably do that today thanks for the tip.

    Fuel filter light on again

    I don't think my fuel is too thick I make my own biodiesel and always tested it. I have been making it for about three years now and running it in my old Mercedes. As far as the truck, I always keep the biodiesel in the front tank and usually have regular diesel in the rear tank. Only because I...

    Fuel filter light on again

    Well now I have a new problem. I changed the fuel filter and bled it of air, I took the truck out for a test drive. Everything seemed fine, all a sudden the fuel filter light comes back on. I drove into town about 10 miles the truck started surging and acting like it was going to die. I...

    Fuel filter light on again

    93turbo animal - Thanks for the reply. Wondering what other filter did you use and how did you set it up. I have an old 81 Mercedes Benz - they use a primary and secondary filter. The primary is a little plastic throw away and the secondary is the spin on filter. I always thought that was a...

    Fuel filter light on again

    Hello everyone seems as if the biodiesel I'm running is cleaning out my tanks, very well. I have my fuel filter light coming on again. Just bought a filter at my local NAPA store, and they are very proud of those filters. Does anyone know where I can get cheaper filters that will protect the...
