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...

Wanting to fill a blank hole in a gauge pod that sits atop of the dash on My truck. Looks mighty ugly glaring back in my direction. Transmission is the 4L80E and I am wondering what the max pressure electronical gauge would not be overtaxed with pressures beyond its capabilities. I have done...

I remember removing this bracket but now I can not rememer just what position it came from. I tried a search using the part number and I can find pictures of it, and also of an entire PS mounting bracket but no explanation of whence this unit belongs. It does have a slight rub mar on the tab...

I have the turbo drain back fitting from QuadStar Tuning. I’m thinking before installing the flange/plate to the engine of drilling in the area of the red mark. Taking a steel 1/2” NPT or even a 3/8” NPT pipe coupler and welding it on where I drilled. In the future then, if a pro-Vent was ever...

I have the Leroy Diesel stud and girdle kit to replace the factory valve/rocker arm cover bolts. I’m wondering if I could remove the bolts from the new covers and install the studs, place the girdles over the studs and install the nuts to hold it all down. Basically turn the new engine into a...

Just curious as to which is the better brand of seal to use on the front pump of a transmission, rather it be automatic or manual transmission. The two brands carried at our parts stores are CR and National. I once preferred the CR but then later changed to National, for reasons I can no longer...

Rock Auto shows the AC Delco pump. Part No. 8892690 Price on that is $100.79 The other favorable choice is the GM Original. Part No. 88894035 or Part No. 12456231 Price on that one is $189.79 Trying to decide which pump would be the better unit for longevity. The GM original pump has the same...

And so, engine on stand and all freeze plugs removed. Removed the oring from the freeze plug coolant heater and tried it in the various bores. The original position was in the left bank, center hole and the element pointing downwards. Removing the oring seal allowed me to move it freely from...
