    Before You Mod The AC System

    EOP/EOT sending units

    where is the best place to mount engine oil pressure and temp sending units on a PSD? i have heard the best place for the pressure is the port on the oil filter mount and there is a brass plug on the block about 6 inches behind the oil filter on a "ear" near the bellhousing for the oil temp...

    VHT interior paint

    I have been using factory paint to paint gauge pods and what not thus far but since fomoco has decided to go from a 11oz can to a 6oz can and raise the price a few bucks it has led me to explore other options has anyone used the VHT interior paint that autometer recommends? It costs about a...

    Sound Deadening

    Have any of yall installed any sound deadening material in your truck? What brand did you use? I was just curious as to if it was really worth it... stripping the interior of my truck isn't that bad but would be time consuming and that stuff aint cheap either.

    Tires

    I put 305/70/16 Dunlop Mud Rovers on my truck about 3 months ago. I like the tires but my fuel milleage has dropped off. I had a set of 305 cooper discoverys before these and they seemed to do better on fuel. Add that with the noise factor and I'm ready for street tires. I have been driving...

    Shifting Funky

    Ok my truck has got me stumped, not sure where to start looking. When my truck shifts from 2-3 the truck jerks about 3-4 times. While it is doing this the tach bounces up and down about 300 to 500 rpms. It will stop this as soon as you let of the go pedal. I cant decide what is causing this...

    Red Fuel

    I know someone that puts red fuel in his truck, with the red fuel it holds 2 more lbs. of boost and gets 1-2 more mpg. But the EGT's are up about 50-100 degrees as compared with when he runs the regular stuff... I know the red stuff is supposed to just have dye in it, but what gives?? It must...

    crime guard alarm systems

    SUCK!!! Installation... is a pain. Obviously the engineer that wrote the directions has never installed the system.

    Whats more important RPM's or EGT's?

    In terms of engine life what is more imortant? I can spin my stroke @ 3000 and it isn't getting hot but is this bad for it? I know the more revolutions something makes the closer it is to the end of its life but... I guess I want to know if I run it down the interstate @ 3000 will the :fan:

    jeep YJ 6.2 conversion

    As the topic says I'm going to try and but a 6.2 in a jeep. I have seen a 6.5 turbo in a jeep and it was pretty cool, but I'm trying to get a feel of what I'm getting into. Here are some ?
