    Condensation/dampness passenger area under dash but no active water leak

    That brings back some funny memories. My 78 MG-B Roadster. The windshield was bad busted. I had bought another MG-B for a few dollars. Good windshield in this one, body rusted out. I ordered a new windshield gasket and after it got here proceeded in changing out the windshield glass. Okay now...

    Condensation/dampness passenger area under dash but no active water leak

    For Me, if it would be a compromised windshield body flange and the rest of the body is in good condition, remove the glass, make the repairs and install a new glass.

    IDR the numbers, the state got in some tandem axle trucks with six cylinder cat engines. Those too were throw away units. Sad that thats how things now are done.

    Intro thread

    They still are available, I have seen them before, just not taking the chance of having that thing fail at some critical moment. Full on PS is the proper answer.

    Random stalling

    Something is not right if You arr going through a lot of those. I had to replace one in about six years and that one was transferred to the new engine. I’m confident it will perform just fine in this engine too.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Hole saw seal driver. Did a nice job. And the spring was still in position on the backside. Time to lift. In the hole. Still a lot of hookups to do, bolts to tighten, fuel system to sort, then it will be ready to fire.

    State used to buy the ACE brand oil base paint in Omaha orange. They had some equipment I was assigned to paint. Sand blasted off the snow plows and used that ACE brand oil base and mixed it like I would the professional body shop stuff. IIRC, 60% paint, 40% reducer and a couple of glup glups of...

D has the capabilities to alter the chip. 96 and onwards requires the PTCM/ECM be sent to an entity that has the equipment to make the changes within the box. Leroy Diesel has a GP over ride kit available, push a button in the cab and the GPs is held on. The...

    Yes, it turns the variable assist into full time, full pressure just like the older vehicles. GM decided this variable assist system was not functioning as it should and they actually started a campaign to eliminate the variable valve system, using the components just like what we are seeing...

    That variable electronical orifice device comes off. The large fitting screws into the pump with the larger O-Ring properly attached. Then the small end of the ] pipe screws into that fitting and the pipe/hose screws into the larger end of the tube/pipe.
