    Frustrated @ trying to post pics here from an outside host site

    OK, here's my deal; I'm trying to post a wiring schematic that I scanned onto my computer which saved it in a PDF format. When I try to upload it to Photobucket, it doesn't recognize it as a photo format and therefore wll not show it as available to upload. How do I convert this PDF to a gif...

    Color matching Paint for Pillar Mount

    I have found in my neck of the woods that parts stores no longer stock spray bombs. When I color matched my A pillar I went to the local Sherwin Williams paint store(Autobody). To have them mix a can of RPO paint was VERY cost prohibitive; I ended up "matching" the paint to some colors they keep...

    A-pillar gauge pod install question...

    For my wires at the gauge pod, I used a small hole saw and drilled a hole in the actual A-pillar trim the truck came with and then ran the wires down the pillar inside the trim. (My gauge pod was one that screws to the original trim) Then I routed it straight down between the gap of the...

    I so owned a new Cummins truck two nights ago

    :hihi: So I had to get my Mom's car out of the county impound yard (a whole different long story) so I hooked up the trailer to the 'ol 6.5, drove down the 60 miles, loaded it up, had started the drive back. It was dark, rainy, but the interstate was pretty scarce of traffic. I was tooling...

    New glow plugs installed

    I didn't think it would make that big of a difference W/O a different turbo. I'll have to consider the chip first if it does produce great results without the price. Whoops. I installed Duraterms.

    New glow plugs installed

    Before that I think I might want to step up and buy an ATT turbo. But lately I've gotten a new money pit started called a gas golf cart.

    New glow plugs installed

    Ok, so I actually replaced the glows towards the end of November, but just now have gotten around to post some pictures of the carnage. It wasn't as hard as I expected and took about three hours with me taking my sweet time. I took out the inner fender and dropped the downpipe; I also cleaned a...

    AC = Major Mistake

    I replaced condenser on my 98 Suburban because I finally got the lines off, but twisted the pipes to it. But more importantly, the nuts on the hose lines had been filled with the threads of the condenser lines after I broke them loose(lots of PB Blaster). I tried to clean the threads, but to no...

    6.5 exhaust systems & cross overs who's are you running & why ?

    Warpspeed crossover here and DiamondEye DP and full exhaust installed all at the same time. Huge difference. Had to enlarge the holes on one side of the DP flange to get it to go on "easy".
