    Headlight relay kit

    Does replacing the wiring and adding relays affect all years of IDI's headlight brightness? , or did the factory catch on , and do it right starting with certain years?.....Cause I think my headlights seem to be fairly bright for what they are, and I have a 91. The 9004 bulb is only 750 lumens...

    Safe Towing Weight

    I don't like putting my truck at 2000 rpm or less pulling long hills, I keep it minimum 2500, I aim for 3000. Second gear is what keeps it in this rpm range and it is not floored. Keep the fluid moving in the tranny, and motor. My truck may pull the snowshed hill faster, but I don't feel I...

    stuck glow plug removal?

    This is what I did to get mine out. Used a piece of flat bar, drill/tap hole, cut it not on center of hole, then hand grind so it would snap onto the glowplug. The spacers are for extra height.

    >>> COMMERCIAL WIPER BLADES <<<

    Skipping acros the window drives me crazy, I just go out and buy another $7.00 blade which lasts about 1 month till it does it again. Also this is only on the drivers side, passenger side has been on for a long time. New blades don't do it, only ones that have just abit of wear. Maybe the...

    Oil Burners turbo kit

    Not all powerstroke turbo's are the same, the earlier ones to 99 have a larger exhaust housing, the later 99+ have a smaller quicker spooking housing, you want the later one.
