Anybody put 17" dually wheels on an OBS?
As others mentioned, boring the centers or turning the hubs are your only realistic options if you're looking at running other manufacturers stock wheels. Though this is really the kind of thing you'd want done on a lathe, as just hogging out the center bore by hand is potentially going to...- Detroit80

Is the bed supposed to look like it's flexing a lot going down rough road?
I probably over explained with too much detail again...I have a tendency to do that, lol. It's not so much that I consider it a problem or that it bothered me, but rather that I didn't know if it was a sign of some other major issue, such as a cracked/broken frame, and didn't want to toss a...- Detroit80

Will a fuel return leak cause a major power loss?
Truck is a '96 K2500 4x4 220K miles, stock other than relocated PMD and homebrew turbo-master style wastegate controller, set to max of 12psi. Runs smooth, occasionally have to crank it a bit to get it started, but nothing that I'd consider major. No stalling issues or feeling like it's...- Detroit80

Is the bed supposed to look like it's flexing a lot going down rough road?
Truck is a '90 CCLB 4x4, bed has been replaced with a flatbed before I got the truck. Bed was definitely not done "right" with spring loaded clamps on the frame that I see on modern commercially installed flatbeds, and instead just u-bolted to the frame with some steel tube and plate spacers to...- Detroit80

How does exhaust leaks cause high EGTs?
Which also then explains why additional RPM didn't really do much for me in bringing the EGTs back down then as well (at least I'm thinking it does, anyways, lol)..I had read plenty where people were saying to drop a gear and wind the motor out as that will push more air into the motor as well...- Detroit80

How does exhaust leaks cause high EGTs?
Hmmm...that may well explain at least part of the issues I was having before I parked it, namely boost falling off and high EGTs. I'll definitely add that to the list of things to go over when I start tearing into it.- Detroit80

How does exhaust leaks cause high EGTs?
I have a 1990 CCLB, Banks Sidewinder with wastegate, that's been basically parked for about a year due to multiple issues...biggest ones being some pretty decent oil leaks, AC failed (which is a HUGE bummer here in Phoenix, Arizona, lol), and had been dealing with high EGT/high coolant temps for...- Detroit80

speedometer slows down, then stops working?
Truck is a 1990 CCLB, 7.3 w/Banks, 5 speed trans, 4WD. Bought it used a few months ago, and have been slowing working through the numerous issues. Current problem - Speedometer will start slowing down after a few minutes, then quit altogether. Such as I'll get on the freeway, get up to...- Detroit80
