    DOH, Sterling 10.25 axle vent snapped off

    Finishing up the overhaul on the entire brake system, I was removing the rear hydraulic brake line and twisted off the axle vent bolt that also holds the line on the axle. I'd go to a yard, but I'm in the rust belt. It will be a lesson in frustration, I'd bet many will snap before I get one...

    Electric Vac Pump?

    Yeah, I replaced the rotten coffee can when I bought the truck. The PO had the trans replaced with a local shop rebuild but coulnd't get it to shift right. He was trying to adjust things but didn't realize he simply had to vac.

    More problems

    I'm no expert, but crack the fuel lines on the injectors one at a time while the motor is running. If the tick clears up then you know which is suspect, but I'm not sure if that isolates if it is a fuel problem or not.

    Electric Vac Pump?

    Thats a good word of warning to anyone without hydro. Anyone notice a difference on the buttdyno? Any need for a cutoff circuit once a certain level is met? The pump is ok to run continuous?

    Electric Vac Pump?

    Anyone ever take their mechanical vac pump out and use an electric vac pump? I have a hydro booster, so I don't risk much by going electric. Will loosing a belt driven component like the vac pump free up load on the engine at all?

    Militec-1 in an IDI

    All I can speak of is in regard to firearms, and it is fantastic for that if used per the instructions - not your typical apply and forget lube. If it does the same thing in a vehicle, I have no doubt it will work well. If applied right, service weapons can be fired dry without wear. I would...

    Militec-1 in an IDI

    Anyone using Militec-1 in their IDIs? I use this stuff extensively in firearms and it is top notch ;Sweet, the company is making some tall claims of improving auto performance by putting it in just about any fuel or lube on a vehicle. If it works as well as it does on weapons, then I think there...

    Discouraging Buying Experience

    I had the same title issues when I bought mine. Guy had it for over a year and only applied for temp plates, I bought the truck and attempted to register it. State said I'd have to get him to pay title and registration fee or I'd have to put up the cash for both him and me just to get it into my...

    piston coatings?

    Will they nitride a cam sent in that doesn't need grinding? The exact conditions of nitriding is specific to the alloy, so random shops may not be able to do any piece of steel thrown their way. Since the shop you mentioned knows the process, it could be a good resource for someone who wants to...

    piston coatings?

    Not to hijack, but since we are on the subject of coatings - has anyone done Ferritic nitrocarburized passivation (aka melonite, qpq, nitriding) on engine internals for the 6.9/7.3? They do this to lower end components and I think cams on modern motors, and it is very economical to have done...
