    Ever seen a combo pyro/boost gauge?

    Pullapart in Nashville is getting stupid high on their prices. That was stupid high.

    Replacing sulpher in #2

    When my truck was on the road I was dosing Honda ATF nice purple fluid. Did it do anything? No idea. I can say in my car Marvel Mystery oil has 198K OEM injectors looking brand new. It is 2oz per 5 gallons for gasoline. I do it to lube the fuel pump mostly. **** has gone up 35% lately!

    Waste Motor Oil Distillation?

    I would wonder about metal from rings, crank, cam, babbit etc going into the injectors. I know a guy that sold his distilling company up near Chitcago. He's a chemical engineer. They did work for Lucas, Chevron and more. AFAIK he still does sales for them. Getting a hold of him is the trick.

    I was thinking about doing that this weekend. Went to the tire shop for some new rubber. Had to hit Advanced next door for some starting fluid to get it to restart. This thing was probably sucking air 8 years ago and it is still a problem. I am looking for a replacement kit. No luck so it will...

    I topped the tank off with 20gal, 20oz of Power Service . Drove it 10mi. Got home and smelled brakes. Passenger side caliper is hanging up. Not blowing any black smoke. Set the mirror to watch. None.

    Okay. Is it to my left facing the engine? If it is stuck, use WD-40 or other type stuff to free it?

    No boost gauge. Smoke? Nope. It's a slow rolling pig. Won't spin the tires in the grass.

    I fuel the company rig at Loves. I'm not seeing anything about it having any bio in it. I ran B20 in this truck back in 2008. Mileage went from 21.7 to 17.5. B20 smelled better, but cost a bunch more. I'm a former fuel hauler. I used to run a straight load of diesel to Hess. Then go to...

    I feel the governor spring wouldn't lose it's tension just sitting there. I would like to swap out the fuel pin, and spring after getting it back to the normal like it was. Not wanting to toss another variable into the mix if that sounds like a good path to go. The fuel is very old. When I...

    I doubt the governor spring stretched sitting for 7 years. It goes into overdrive at 35-ish mpg like it always did. Was told the rear was rebuilt. No tag with the ratio on it. 3:54's? Is that normal for automatics? Originally was a hauler for rv trailers. 317K on the clicker. I bought it with...
