When I look at some sound-absorbing foam it's pyramid-shaped like an egg-crate. I wonder if building a little deeper floor plenum and or airbox and have a pyramid-shaped mesh or grate in the bottom to help absorb the air and sound pulses and under it put a sound-absorbing material or paint like...

My current truck is cloth seats and vinyl flooring. The wife says I should go leather but I am not so sure. Seems there is a conflict with Leather and vinyl flooring when I build and price one. With newer floor mat options is carpet vs vinyl moot? I will probably keep this truck a looonnng...

Considering a new truck. 2020 Chevy ( could go GMC ) 3500 Crw cab LB SRW Dmax My must-haves are pretty basic: Tilt wheel, dual zone AC, and comfortable seat (think I prefer the upgraded 40/20/40 with heat and headrest). Mechanically: heavy duty frt springs, factory gooseneck wiring, bedliner...

I only know a little about sound. It is confusing because some of it is quantitative and some qualitative. I think the root cause is hi compression and only 2 valves. The acceleration of air movement is higher once you start increasing mass of air flow and the noise increases. It's all...

Like others said it won't do much. In addition to surface area contact inside vs outside velocity is too high inside vs outside and no big difference in Temp with wall. I have wondered if in small diameter applications with larger delta T like oil cooler lines if they might add some merit...

The PS pump is a vane pump I think it will sorta self-limit pressure. But with age, something might have stuck. For reference, I think mine wept maybe a 1/4-1/2 cup or so of fluid??? Not constant but wet the frame under the HB. It did not pour out that I remember. Might have...

How much leakage are we talking about? Now that you mention it mine wept some fluid out of a weep hole on the underside of the bore. I was worried about it first and think there is an old post on it here somewhere. I think its lube so the bore won't rust on the shelf. It might have to...

Watching and learning. I like the PWR barrel-style W/A coolers and keep air direction changes to a minimum. Dreaming I would like one incorporated directly in route from turbo to central intake. Or doing the big box W/A central to feed your intake runners? I like that the intake will be...

This is the correct thread to reply to sorry about any confusion. I don't know much. I replaced my hyro boost a few years ago. When I installed mine iirc I put the return hose to a bucket and it would dump a return stroke of PS fluid when I let off the pedal. Again its been a while seems I...

I don't know much. I replaced my hyro boost a few years ago. When I installed mine iirc I put the return hose to a bucket and it would dump a return stroke of PS fluid when I let off the pedal. Again its been a while seems I turned wheel lock to lock and would press pedal slowly then when I...

Does it immediately leak or once the brake pedal is released after the first press of pedal?

The overall consumer welfare is still very good and beneficial to all. I and assume most people like to know the flow of traffic on their travel route. I don't like my phone battery gets consumed when I am not actively using it is probably my biggest gripe as of now. And it's not always...

Interesting. Sorta looks like an open rear precup. I have often wondered about the dead end cave shape of the existing IDI and thought that was the limiting thing that "choked the injection flame".

Somewhat related I think schools are a pretty neat idea for solar because they are mainly day-use facilities and during the summer months many schools sit idler with less need for electricity. If they were solar roofed/fielded then during the summer they could be feeding the grid with the same...

👍 Nice Chateau Bow-Wow. Or Mancave depends on who you ask and when. I feel the Zen looking at the pictures.

Welcome. My thoughts are depends on goals and budget. Is the truck worth it? 350 is dirt cheap in comparison! Why rebuild? Hi milage, blowby, low oil pressure? Loss of power? Want to tow better? Any current mods or upgrades? Injection pump? Should get at least the better water pump later...

I usually get a contributing factor like an alternator or corrosion so not sure if battery always is to blame. Seems like about 4-5 years for regular lead acid type Interstate or store brand O'riely's etc.

That is mostly geared towards a 6.5. I would guess the newer trucks might need more technology to inspect say something like a scanner that can measure balance rates of injectors??? With the expense of the newer injectors and IP's etc I think I may want some receipts or proof of maintenance...

I played with car code and have some real world numbers but as always would depend on location and details. I am running a palstic dmax fan HO water pump with restrictor fitting 180F robert shaw stats. My dash guage shows about ~175-180F My fuel heat soaked to about 143F. Today partly...

Finally got it but I clicked on so much stuff not sure how. I bought a "Plugable" usb adapter that came with a disc (it came in a box and the disc survived shipping). The computer is old running software that is out of date think its win 7. I couldn't down load a driver from the website to...
