    A great loss.

    Shaking violently when first accelerating from stop

    Mine didn’t shake violently but chattered really bad. Brought it up to about 2000rpms, put it in third, and eased off the clutch nice and slow. 30k miles later, still no chatter or slip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Block heater

    Why are you against the other kind of heaters? Is there something wrong with them? I have an 83 so I’m scared to fix the factory block heater Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wheel spacers to remove dogtrack

    Personally, I wouldn’t tow on wheel spacers but I’ve seen people do it successfully. Wider front track has better stability though. My wrangler that doesn’t tow has 1 3/4” wheel spacers on all 4 corners, no issues on it but that’s a different animal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IDI Cooling System Capacity?

    What I did was drive with a system cleaner for a few days then drain the radiator, fill with distilled water, drive, drain, fill with distilled water, repeat until I had nothing but pure water draining out. Took about 5 cycles/15ish gallons. After I drained the last time, I filled with super...

    Passenger side advances, driver side retards. You should really use timing equipment to get it dead on though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IDI Towing

    I can only reiterate what everyone else has said although I built a 10.25 with 3.73s. My truck is a na 6.9 with a zf5 2wd. I want an intercooled turbo with water meth, sick of towing and looking at the pyro more than the road. I also want to get a 4wd trans and tcase just for low range backing a...

    Interest in gauge pods for bulls and bricks?

    I’d prefer a cheaper black version. You can get factory match paint for less than 10$ a can. I’ll have to get some pics of my pod after work tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interest in gauge pods for bulls and bricks?

    I put a quad obs pod in my bullnose. There was way more trimming than I’d like. Had to notch the dash to clear the bottom gauge. I’d pay double the obs pod price for an exact fit in my 83 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What the.....

    I put a water pump on a friends Toyota Camry and it was horrible. Had to take the tire off. When putting the belt back on the tensioner has a hex head cast in it and that snapped off allowing me to hit the back of my head on my tool box lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    Yes, they need to go back the exact way they came out. I use a small box, poke holes and label driver and passenger, front and rear. I hit the rockers with brake parts cleaner and write on them with a silver sharpie like 3E would mean cylinder 3 exhaust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lockout hub question

    I have a set of warn premium waiting to be installed on my 1/2 ton. I think I need those special spindle nuts but they’re 60$! I found a set of spicer brand spindle nuts that say they can replace the warns for 16$ but I’m not sure I want to trust that. Sorry for the rant. You get the truck...

    Brake light switch

    I’ve only ever had to replace one and it was on my old jeep Comanche (RIP). I got it from advanced auto and never had an issue. Probably not the answer you were looking for but it’s all I know. I’d say if parts store one is junk, try a motorcraft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    I know your not supposed to change length so my plan was to go right from the back of the gauge and not strip any insulation. Hell that might be a no-no too lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    Did you do a write up on your set up? I’m not sure what the Hobbs switch is but a wot switch would be helpful except when towing. I’m not always at wot when egts get hot. What type of electricals are you curious on? I already have all those gauges but that is pretty much what I’m looking for...

    V Belts replacement

    Is that short wp to alt belt from a different application that happens to fit or is this like some factory fix for frequently broken belts? I’ve put about 35k miles on these duralast belts, I have the long one that includes the crank. It wobbles but it’s never broke. I understand why people are...

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    Which water meth kit are you using? I’ve read on it before and everyone says cheap kits can let droplets in the engine but I don’t want to pay 1000$ for a snow performance kit. Also being na (for now) I want one that reads off egts instead of boost Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
