    Got to do a rear brake job.... any advice?

    BigBrand just did a free brake inspection on my 95 Dually (and thus got everything loose and workable) and found that just about everything is shot. So, I'll be doing drums and shoes, and also wheel cylinders and hardware. I haven't done a job like this in 30 years. BTW, I did the fronts last...

    Glow plug delay killed my aftermarket stereo. Solution?

    Was this incorrectly installed? When I turn on my key to excite the glow plugs the stereo begins to initialize because power is on. 20 seconds or so later when the glow plugs click off, I turn the key to start, and the radio dies at whatever stage of initialization it was at. Once engine starts...

    Vacuum pump pully failure?

    Man, I'm sort of stumped here.... Power brakes failed, diagnosis- vacuum pump. Part arrives the next morning and after install I noticed a big wobble in the pully. How the heck could that have developed? This pully is a stout piece of steel.

    Alcoa nuts

    Well for once I found out the easy way; I decided to test the factory jack and lug wrench to do some work on the ol' girl. Sure glad I did it before getting stranded somewhere. The OEM lug wrench fits 7/8 lug nuts... But my truck has 27mm (1 1/16) lug nuts... I'm guessing the Alcoas were...

    Caliper hanging up?

    So I figured new calipers would have solved this issue... but... a few hundred miles later I have a left front caliper hanging up. I don't recall which side hung up before but I think it was the passenger side. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why this might happen? Is there a common issue...

    recommend headlight upgrade?

    I'm going to upgrade to some better headlights as soon as I find some. From what I've seen most of the kits out there aren't very high quality, so I'm not sure what to do. Maybe someone here has had personal experiencing and can make a recommendation?

    R&D IDI Performance recommended.....

    R&D is definitely my new go to guy... Most honest helpful businessman I recall dealing with. I called to order parts and spoke to Justin, he told me to save my money! Here's why; An aftermarket turbo, wicked wheel, or even a 3" flange and down pipe will increase power so minutely over the stock...

    94' IDIT...... Recommended turbo upgrade? Banks? R&D? etc?

    Hi OilBurners, I have a 94' F350 dually crewcab I use to pull a heavy boat in California hill country. It runs like it should, but is really under powered with the factory 7.3 IDI turbo and E4OD, and 4:10 gears. From what I understand, with a better turbo and down-pipe it should run as strong as...
