    u joints and inspection plate

    I was wondering for the luk conversion if the inspection plate would bolt up anymore. Shop is having issues with it fitting...cookoo :mad: Also, what is characteristic of a bad u joint?? I grabbed the driveshaft on either side and there was no slop, however in gear the driveshaft moves to...

    Zip tie on driveshaft...

    I was driving the truck around today and i sat idling waiting for someone to go at a green light and my truck starting to make a zip tie on driveshaft noise that varied with engine speed not truck speed. Is this an injector hanging up or what? Also, can I use a turbo calibrated pump with stock...

    Performance losses

    What types on loses am I looking at being in higher altitudes power wise?? I was reading over the article on the old IDI that was turbocharged, great article and found this..." Encouraged by the dyno test, we ran some 0-60 tests with the old G-Tech performance meter and the truck can still crank...

    turbos ats banks or hypermax

    I have no doubt that there are some good ATS units out there, however i must have had bad luck. The biggest problem I have is they won't stand behind their product and are acting like there is no such thing as a problem with their unit. Nothing is perfect.

    turbos ats banks or hypermax

    Customer service from ATS is horrible...more like lack of it. I am not impressed with the fit and finish either. I have some leaks. The technicians don't help either.

    Powerstroke brakes the same??

    I would love to do a hydro conversion, however don't have the money for it at this point... However, it would have been nice today... I was following a car for a while and traffic just stopped on the freeway, mind you I was poking along at around 60 when the traffic came to a screeching halt...

    Powerstroke brakes the same??

    Well, I guess i will wait on a vac pump. It costs... $130 rebuilt from the local auto stores...and $300 or so for a new one...Wonder what the dealer wants....

    Powerstroke brakes the same??

    I test drove a powerstroke the other day, 1995 auto just to see what the power difference was. In my opinion, not much but what got me by surprise was the brakes... Barely pushed the pedal down and it was slowing down quickly. They felt really responsive. What are the differences between the...

    jerky wipers

    How hard is the motor to replace?? It seems strong enough...why would it do the jerk thing occasionally??

    jerky wipers

    Do yours kind of stop and jerk?? It's kind of hard to explain. Where abouts would the controller be? Is it on the right side along the glovebox?? That ground was fine... They do the jerk on intermittent, slow and high...

    jerky wipers

    That's good to know...will definately keep that in mind. Got new wipers and my luck, it rains on the drive home. They wiped about 5 times and the jerky thing started happening again!!

    jerky wipers

    When ihave my wipers on for a while, they start to get really jerky. Motor runs fine, it's just instead of the blades wiping smoothly, they start to grab really bad and then release and grab again, mostly on the return to park. It gets really annoying. When the windshield is squirted with wiper...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    OH I was just thinking, would the high altitude ip make a big power difference?? How do i tell if i have one of those?? Also, i can always no matter the temerature hear the cooling fan howling at higher rpms like it doesn't know how to release or something. Is there something wrong or is it...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    Truck is about on 100,000 or os on the IP. Injectors....dont' remember. probably about the same. Fuel screw had been tampered with a few times by ATS... I am afraid to touch it as it runs better than it ever has...but still not what it should imo. I don't know if it is a characteristic of an IDI...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    I have a new filter in the truck now. No difference there either. The truck has been slow to begin with, but I expected that. With the turbo, I expected a bit more oomph. Compared to what other's seem to be able to pull and stuff, I feel something is wrong. I get the feeling that if I tried...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    Forgot to mention that. I topped off all the fluids and changed the filter at the same time. Ticking is gone. Oil was a bit low. The previous filter media was black, so I assume that would mean it was done. Gauge wise, I got busy today, too much to do so I didn't get a boost one. Until we know...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    I will buy myself a boost gauge perhaps today after work. Any old one would work?? I have seen ones at the local parts place that goes to 35, but seeing as the boost hovers around 10 normally it would barely move the gauge. It also has vacuum on the gauge too. Fuel filter is new, air filter...

    Pyro and fueling concern...

    Thanks. Seems my air sucking ordeal is gone after changing the filter for some reason. (scratches head). Doesn't make sense though. I have the same 0-60 time of 24 seconds and a 40-60 time of about 11 seconds. I realize it isn't a rocket but could my injectors be getting tired hence the tick or...
