    Clutch pedal set replacement tips or tricks?

    It may be obvious to some, but the four brake booster to clutch pedal bolts probably won't want to seperate. Leave the four nuts on (just loosened most of the way) and the brake booster rod on the pedal and push the brake pedal hard to free the two.

    Can you use a old radiator for a Intercooler???

    I'm sure you would see some change, a decrease in fuel economy and power would probably be the main difference..

    heater core just popped

    There are two styles, depending on factory A/C or dealer A/C and no A/C. I had no problem with my aluminum unit, I think it was a Spectra.

    P pump

    Even the VE Rotary pump on the cummins is relatively good with power and reliable. Is there not an 8 cylinder Bosch VE pump out there?

    Air Conditioning gods needed.

    It has to be really hot for my high side pressure to go much over 300 psi. Maybe try blocking off the heater core hoses and see if it runs cooler, maybe your blend door is stuck and letting the hot air from the heater mix with the cool air?

    Another dent on the bed facing the cab....

    I use the same lawn mower and load it in the back of my truck, I go forward until the front of the mower touches the front of the bed and push the the brake then lift up the little emergency brake lever. If you don't have it tight against the front of the bed the mower moves and the emergency...

    Can anyone give me a quick summary of the tools I will need to grab a 1980-1986 manual pedal assembly from the junkyard? I would rather bring the minimum amount so my tools don't walk away.

    A/C CHARGE PRESSURE

    I'm not sure if you guys mis-understood him or if i'm just stupid. When the a/c compressor is not running the pressure is the same (equalized) on both the high and low pressure sides. As the content of the system increases, the pressure increases and the pressure with 2lbs will be significantly...

    fuel cut off for engine braking

    Flipping a switch or holding a button down every hill is no benefit, it is an inconvenience. The amount of fuel injected into the engine while coasting at idle is so insignificant that such as idea is merely a safety hazzard.

    CL deal....not sure how he got this one past the smog nazis........

    It may only be good for off-road, but who uses 4x4 on California pavement? Unless you are worried about breaking something off-road any on-road problems should be non-existant.

    VIN numbers on frames???

    My truck hasn't been tampered with, but even if it was I don't see anything happening. The only time anyone lays an eye on it is for a safety inspection. My insurance company has never seen it and the license bureau hasn't either... Who is going to waste there time trying to find a vin number on...

    Aluminum Heads For The IDI

    Mazda RF 2.0L diesels used an aluminum head. Corrosion never seemed to be an issue, but the heads always cracked between the valves.

    Does My IDI have enough POWER??

    Even if a Turbo IDI uses more fuel going up a hill, would the N/A diesel not burn more fuel if it takes 30-50% more time to climb that hill at a lower speed?

    why you can throw stupid power easily at a cummins and have to work at a IDI......

    What I see often is people comparing apples to oranges. I like both the IDI and Cummins, but people very often do not compare things evenly. They may have big tires on one truck, different gear ratios, singe/extended/crew. The little things sometimes make a big difference. The Cummins also...

    -You may have put more fuel in it than you did when you filled it up the first time -Your speedometer may be off some -All the fuel returning to the proper tank? -Have you crawled under to inspect for fuel leaks from the tanks to the engine? -Your timing could easily be off, we never know...
