On this 2000 K3500 truck. Got the master cylinder unbolted from the hydro boost and moved away. Got under neath the dash unit and the brake lamp switch has this weird looking retainer attached to the pivot shaft nub. It is not a hair pin style retainer. This thing looks like a sort of a cap and...

This picture was forwarded to Me and we both thought it might be good to have it posted where anyone needing such information could have it readily available.

My truck has been converted to the 4 bulb 4”x6” headlight system from a 1988-1989 pickup. I think that with all four bulbs being lit up on the hi and low beam bulbs being ignited all at the same time is taxing to the 30 amp main fuses in the under the hood fuse box when the heater blower and AC...

I’m in Missoula. Pulling into a place to park. Turning the steer wheel quite sharply, brake pedal was sort of hard to push down. When it did go, sort of like normal pressure, it felt like the ABS was engaging. This happened twice. Anyone have any suggestions or easy quick on the road fix ? I’m...

I installed two sending units from GloShift for their 0 to 30 PSI gauge. One sending unit at the AirDog lift pump and the other hooked into a swivel JIC adapter fitting at the injection pump. I have never been able to get a good reading from either of the sending units, thought it was a bad unit...

I have a nice supply of Gates 4219XL fuel hose in 1/8 inch. On the back side of the hose it is rated at SAE 30R7. Is this a high enough rating to withstand extended periods of diesel fuel return hose ? According to what I read on the specs it lists diesel and bio fuels too. Just checking before...

On my way to Sheridan Wyoming and then back to the cabin and the lake. Made it about 25 miles and this DTC pops up. I emailed QS Tuning a few minutes ago so waiting for a reply from them. Cleared the code and it pops right back up. Engine falters when it does but then picks up and runs like...

I would like to install an over drive manual transmission into my 1959 Dodge W100 Power Wagon. The transmission would need to be from a two weeeel drive as the transfer case in the PW is not married to the transmission. A short slip yoke drive shaft is what feeds the transfer case. I dont know...

Just would like to know, I would like to have one of these pumps on the shelf, just in case. A brand new Stanadyne DS4 injection pump. Apparently they have been dismantled, new seals and soft items replaced, pump tested and stored with test fluid in the pump. Anyone have an opinion on the time...

I thought I had a video of the clear return hose but it didnt work out. At about 1600 RPMs there is an occasional stutter. At about 1900-2000 RPMs there is near a constant flow of air into the clear return hose and engine runs like crap. I went through and installed hose clamps on every...

Started out to church this morning. Fired the beast and transmission seemed to shift just a little out of kilter. Made it to the interstate and then noticed that the SES lamp was ignited. Truck was running fine, OP, FP, temps on both gauges hanging about the 195 post. Voltage right on the 14...

Motor, switches, or, wiring issues ? When the front doors on My truck gets warm, from the sun, or on hot days setting in the shade, the windows will fail to function. If the A/C is run for long enough to cool off the doors then the windows begins to once again function as they should. I do have...

I dont even know where to begin. New GEP Optimizer engine with about 2000 to 2500 I had been guessing but reflecting back, the truck since the new engine has done about four of those 60 mile round trip journeys to church and home. Maybe 50 miles in town driving and I had totally stopped doing...

I have been looking over thermostat questions and answers. I have read to run the 195s, I have read to run 185s or whatever the 180 range comes in. I have on the shelf a pair of brand new GM original set of 190s. The reason I ask. Ambient air temp was 66 degrees. Driving to Church last Sunday...

There is the larger round grill then that smaller grill above. Wondering if anyone has added speakers to these grills and if so what a good speaker would be. Dimensions too please. Long as I’m waiting for Triumph parts I can be working on improving the sound system too. I would love to be able...

I was searching for information on head gaskets and came across this video. Heating the engine before having to retorque head gaskets. She explains that she is using copper head gaskets, but, many head gaskets that require retorque can benefit from this video.

If the injector timing is suppose to be about 30*, how does a person acquire that without changing the timing off set ? I dont remember what actual injector timing was previous to removing the IP from the old engine.

This is a thread dedicated to questions and answers about gauges, all sorts of gauges related to the monitoring of engine, transmission and drive train on our vehicles. If anyone has a question, an answer, or a suggestion for gauges then please post them here.

I got a thread going about transmission pressure gauge to fill a hole in a three gauge pod. It was suggested that I might be better served with a turbo drive pressure gauge, some call it back pressure. Now My curiosity has got Me down. I need this. 😹😹😹 Also suggested pre and post turbo...
