    Define no rollover noise

    Im with the above guy here, if it SOUNDS like its causing damage, or otherwise just bad, it IS causing some damage, and is bad! also, guys with the SMF conversion normally pop the shifter off the top and add an extra quart, many threads talking about how it helps to quiet it down, maybe...

    Engine Crankshaft Seal Savers ?????

    i would avoid using auto RX personally, not that its a bad product or anything like that, but here is my reasoning (in this situation) you have a dirty engine and oil leaks. you run autorx and clean up the engine (including any junk on the backside of said leaking seals) Next thing you...

    E-Fuel Conversion and New IP!

    if you push the issue enough, involve the BBB, hell even small claims court, i bet you would get your money back. A business cannot ship a bad product and refuse to take a return (in this case you had no idea the pump was bad, just based on a bent tab). Fight it, i assume they do have a business...

    oil cooler replacement.

    I dont think it was so much of me wanting to improve anything. More like one of those errant thoughts, that shouldnt be put into effect that is (remind to post some pictures up of my 1982 yamaha seca turbo 650 motor on a mid 90s 2x4 timberwolf frame... that was one errant thought that cost me...

    oil cooler replacement.

    i wanted to have it sit against the engine, basically in place of the oil one, but air cooled. I figured it would be easier to change in the event of a failure, as well as not have oil/freeze mixing. but yeah, talked me out of it, besides i just rebuilt the factory one, and the motor had 146k on...

    E-Fuel Conversion and New IP!

    That will be the best route! I think the new mech pump i got from advance auto cost like 17 bucks, and you can always take it back and say something like.... its only puttin out 3.5 PSI so you went with a different supplier, and need to return it. normally they will only give store credit this...

    E-Fuel Conversion and New IP!

    This is not very good news bud, i have been talking with your pump builders about a pump for my 7.3 but now i dont know. Seems i should just save some more and give mel a call. Im close to 3700 in my engine now, between resleeving, all the other machine work, needed new pistons blah blah blah...

    Soda blasting

    yeah soda + paint sucks, you need to get a heavy duty solvant cleanser, AND a waterbourne cleaners. 837 prep solvant from PPG works well, but still need a waterbourne based cleanser, i THINK i use 897? or the like (also from PPG) and then i spray a 2 part epoxy/highbuild/corrosion resistant...

    E-Fuel Conversion and New IP!

    im curious, why did you go with the R&D pump over a moose? My engine is completely rebuilt :) but went way over budget, and have to get some other shit settled before the old lady will let me get a new pump to throw on it... R&D cheaper? more fuel per buck? i dont even know the CC on a...

    Well today was a really sad day, Frame horn is bent

    round here just getting an estimate on the damage will NOT total a vehicle! but at our shop rates you are looking at around $400 bucks in frame work there. Also dont know how things work up there but you SHOULD get fair market value on your totaled vehicle. Hell i had similar damage on my...

    Well today was a really sad day, Frame horn is bent

    When the ins company totals your truck, and they will, BUY IT BACK. Take it to a body shop with a frame rack and have the frame straightened with the remainder of the ins money. Hit up a JY for a bumper/fender/liner. Shop here charges a minumum of 3 hours for any frame job. 1 hour set...

    Looking for right body lift kit

    Your stupid to buy a kit TBH. I made that same mistake with my bronco. was a 3" body. Go to walmart, or sporting goods store, but hockey pucks (like 2 dollars a piece) and drill out a 3/8 hole in the center. (i think its 3/8s or you can upgrade to 1/2 inch like the kit you bought will...

    If it wasn't for bad luck, i'd have no luck....stolen alcoa dually wheel

    i am in the same boat as you are with everything said... but with that said sometimes you just have to go outside your comfort level and you find a great shop. No one i normally deal with would do driveshaft work, so i had to deal with strangers, and i found an amazing little shop called penn...

    trans question

    Im not 100% sure on the diesel version of the e4od, but ford recommends NEVER changing that filter on the gas versions. Its not like the c6 with a small screen, the E4OD screen is hugh, and ment for a lifetime without replacement. The issue with changing them is dredging up filth in the trans...
