    T-19 to ZF5

    Well lets be clear about my intentions here. I have no issues with the t-19 other than I hate driving in the slow lane and still having cars lining up behind me on the interstate and my engine wrapped out with the valves ricocheting off the underside of my hood. Around town I have no issues with...

    T-19 to ZF5

    So I desperately want a 5 speed in my truck since I do enough highway driving to make me crazy. I have a friend with a ZF5 laying around and I want to scrap my 4 speed T-19. Both are 2wd so I dont have to mess with 4wd stuff. I have heard that this is a direct bolt on replacement. Is this...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    Here is an update and co conclusion to the issues. I played with timing till I was satisfied that it was as close as it was going to get without the timing equipment and I had moved the pump about 2 or 3 mm to the passenger side. After playing with the timing the truck ran great in all ranges...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    ok so I had a conversation over the phone with industrial injection who built my IP and based on all the information they also believe its out of time but they also said it would be about $200 to time and fine tune it. Im not going to do that. what are good methods to get it "close enough" and...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    I guess there is one detail that I should mention. Im not even sure the injectors I took out were bad. I only replaced them because of this issue and a few other issues I was working out but this smoke problem existed prior to the injectors being replaced. As it turns out the misfire and lack...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    Ok if I have a problem with the injectors I will just chalk that up as a learning experience and eat it but for now all cylinders are firing. As far as timing THE WARDEN recommended a timing method while driving and explained that if I feel a rumble on acceleration its too advance and smoke on...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    ok so about 2 months ago my I began the necessary tune up of my fuel system by getting my IP rebuild by a reputable injection shop. then I did the injectors a fuel line return kit, fuel filter, lift pump and most recently with the assistance of my trusty mechanic we tracked down an air intrusion...

    A little more power cheap or easy?

    White smoke is coolant. Blue smoke is bad rings and oil and black smoke is unburned fuel. If you constantly have grey smoke you may have an internal engine problem. I would check for a coolant leak in the head gasket and maybe check for compression. I also had a big block 460 and by comparison...

    Okay, I give up. What's the truck to this...

    Please check to see if its reverse threaded. I know your referring to the adapter but my lugs were reverse thread and I found out that there were several axles in the 80's with reverse thread on one side. If its not reverse thread I second the penetrating oil and add the suggestion of a torch. I...

    Agnem, while I initialy said I was tossing out the cowel intake I did more research and found that I likely would not have a water problem so it was back on the table but im just not ready to cut into my truck to get to the cowel intake just yet. So ya this may be a little over thought but...
