    2 times - for long periods the turbo boost gauge was reading zero

    I have clear lines going from the motor to the gauges so I can monitor such possibilities. (boost and FP)

    suction leaks in fuel system

    Ditto. I have my fuel pressure gauge T'd in to the line going into the IP so I get an accurate read on the filters and lift pump, as well as the tank intake "sock". That's how I knew to replace the return spring in the Walbro, and now the sock is starting to clog, so I'll drop the tank and...

    Suburban AC system rebuild from hell

    OOOh, this is some good info. What a story, Brock; my condolences. Subscribed for future reference. Thanks for sharing. I think if I had any metal shavings in the system, I'd have to replace the whole shebang; lines, evaporators, dryer, and condenser. Flushing is good for old oil in the lines...

    Need to do rear brakes but confused by rear end

    "Old proportioning valves can stick in the limiting position and the rear brakes don't work very well. My 1st 1993 had this issue. My second 1993 was day and night better brakes. Adding the $100 shoes also improved the brakes. The auto-adjustors don't. You need to snug up the drums every...

    How often do you wear sunscreen when you work outside?

    I learned years ago that Sunscreen is a ripoff, a deception to SELL you a fear-based product. For centuries, humans avoided the effects of solar radiation with hats and clothing. Now in this scientific age, we see few people wearing widw brim hats and long sleeves in the sun, and deaths from...

    Brake drag/lock up

    I had the same thing on my '94. It was muck in the piston bore with worn out seals not letting the piston back off slightly after braking. I rebuilt both calipers with all seals, bushings, and sliders. Works fine now. Regular brake fluid attracts water and thereby promotes corrosion. The system...

    MARVEL MYSTERY OIL anyone run it in their truck?

    I'm not casting aspersions on your customer, but there ARE people that take unfair advantage of warranties, insurance, and return policies. I have an uncle that doesn't own a tie; he goes to Sears and buys one the day he needs one, returning it after the event. My brother in law's entire family...

    Suburban Dual Air Upgrades

    Thanks for the link, this is a great thread. I'm afraid I'll need this info soon; I've got no cold a/c, and the compressor cycles on and off quickly.

    Pondering my brake upgrade options?

    How many miles on your calipers? I was having slight wander when braking, only to one side. One of the calipers wasn't releasing completely and it warped the rotor. As I cleaned the internal bushings on the calipers, lubed them, and reinstalled, I found a lot of play. Down here in my...

    RockAuto Code

    Thanks; just saved -$4.41. Every bit helps. REMEMBER; on january 20, 2009 Obama took office... on January 4, 2009, the national averae for regular gasoline was only $1.61. ( http://gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx ) How's that hope and change working for you?

    About 12v oilpan heater?

    IMO, get 2 of the 110v units and run them in series, one for the engine, one for the transmission.

    Duel lift pump question.

    I have a Walbro FRB-5, and I have had no pressure problems. It's pulling through a Racor filter/ water separator and pushing through the OEM FM. 6 - 8 lbs mostly, drops to 4 going up a nearby brutal hill fully loaded. I still haven't gotten around to dropping the tank and removing the intake...
