    Ats install issue

    well I ended up using an old water separator o-ring from one of the big trucks. Works good. Hey Ryan, didn't I see your rig in Diesel Power once?

    Ats install issue

    Any idea what the exact size is? my guess would be 5" X 1/4" square cut but I'm not sure. That would be handy ordering from McMaster since I need some return line o-rings as well, I just used 7/16 X 5/8" nitrile o-rings from the hardware store and they leak REALLY BAD!!! If I was paying...

    Ats install issue

    I got a used wastegated system that had the pressure chamber o-ring missing so i sealed it with silicone. The problem is that the height difference causes the turbo's outlet to bias towards the top side of the chamber's inlet. I rotated the chamber counter-clockwise and that kinda gives me a...

    cold starting your truck

    My block heater cord was toast so when -15 temps hit this morning she waved BOTH fingers at me quite proudly. I think I'm gonna try some of that 5W-40 syn. And the rave reviews the gear reduction starters get is awful appealing. (edit): I just placed an order for one of the DB Nippondenso...

    How's yer guys' reliability

    I do realize that all vehicles will have problems. The objective is to get the one that is the least likely to fail and which will not bankrupt me to repair, which is why my initial lean is towards the 12 valve cummins. I'd absolutely give consideration to an '83-'94 Ford with the IDI but there...

    I'm in the market. Opinions please!

    Im the same way. If I had the time and funds, my '78 Ford body would be setting atop my '92 F-350 running gear with a P7100 fueled B series under the hood, but alas...

    How's yer guys' reliability

    I really really really want a cummins powered truck. The legendary reliability and fuel economy of that straight six turbo diesel is just too tempting to pass. However, theres really no way I could afford the plug'n play power of a common rail, so I'm looking at older trucks. I just drove a 12...

    I'm in the market. Opinions please!

    I have a friend who claimes his 24valve dually will 18-20 mpg unloaded. Thats a 4X4 too. No Powerstrokes- nothing against them just dont want one, and no GMs-same reason. After eyeing up trucks for the last two years and reading everything I could get my hands on I'm convinced Cummins is the way...

    I'm in the market. Opinions please!

    I want a different truck. I've got a 2002 dakota 4.7L that seems to only want to give me 15 miles per pricey gallon. I know diesel costs more but the fuel economy advantage offsets the price difference (I'm immediately ruling out DPF equiped and newer diesels). My issue with the dakota is so...

    Opportunity?????????

    lucky sonnavagun, truck like that wouldn't go for less than $23,000 in WI. Maybe more given the mileage. I thought the truck i was just drooling over was a good deal; $26,000 for an '05 QC with 65,000miles.
