Problem started back in January. Was driving along, made a turn, then once accelerating again, had a small loss of power and slight black smoke. Progressivly got worse and started making noises. New fuel filter, tried new fuel, new turbo, plenty of vacuum at wastegate. At time of last run...
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my transmission fluid. I have no clue what was ever done tranny maint. wise. I think it's nearing time to change the fluid, but I really don't feel comfortable doing a flush. Any suggestions on what I should do? I'm thinking drop the pan, replace...
Does anyone know who was the originator of this term? If it was, in fact, Bill Heath, is the name trademarked? I ask because while surfing on a Cummins site, I found a link to a Dodge/Cummins aftermarket boost controller that looked just like the Turbo-Master, and was also called the Turbo-Master.
I was just trying to compile a list of things you can do with a 1 ton DRW dump truck to make a buck or two. So far I've got:
Landscaping
Driveway resurfacing
Short list, eh? Gimme what you got, let's see how big we can get this list.
Does anyone else have to deal with one as much as I do? I have a friend that goes to Vo-Tech with me that has a 1988 RC/SB K1500 350 SBC. All he knows how to do is trash talk. All he wants to do is roast tires and race. Did I mention, he's the perfect example of why all us teens are...
Anyone here do any garden tractor pulling? Right now I'm working on a Bolens G16XT with a 16 horse Briggs that should be done for next season. I need to rebuild the engine (.010 over), and port & polish it. Then fab up a couple BIG stacks for it, make a hitch, and a couple weight bars. Then...
I just downloaded the EFI Live software, and am currently in demo mode. I was wondering if someone (or a few people) would be willing to look over my tunes via PM or e-mail, and give me some guidence?
Thanks.
Well, in the next year or two I will likely be looking for a Duramax (gasp!). I want to fix up the 6.5 in my sig, and not put miles on it anymore, and keep in in almost showroom condition. So, I'll be needing a new truck to drive around, likely an LB7 or LLY.
My main thing is the injectors...
Well, I just scanned for codes, and have a lot more than I thought, and some different ones than I thought. I have:
DTC 29 - Glow Plug Relay Fault
DTC 31 - EGR Control Pressure/Baro Sensor Circuit Low (High Vacuum)
DTC 33 - EGR Control Pressure/Baro Sensor Circuit High
DTC 36 - Injection...
I saw on one of the other forums where someone put the Dodge flip-up style towing mirrors on an '88-'00 GM truck. He made a conversion bracket, and drilled a few holes. Here's my question, would that conversion bracket be the same as what's supplied by Dodge to convert a non-towing mirror...
It's been a while since the truck has had me this stumped. It used to take a splash of oil every 4-600 miles to top off. Now it's going through the operating range in a little more than 300 miles. I have tested the CDR/blow-by using Heath's way, and it checks out fine. I can't see any...
I'm thinking about getting a chip in a month or so. I'm looking more for fuel economy/reliability with a touch of go-fast. I was thinking of the HP4, but the more I think about it, would the HPT have anything programmed into it that the HP4 doesn't that would make it worse for a daily driver...
Anyone have any pics of one on a short bed, or more specifically, an extended cab/short bed? I'd kinda like one to finish off the Moonvisor look, but don't know how well it'd look with the EC/SB.
Anyone try it? Comes in a silver can that looks almost like a can of grease. Anyone try it and/or have opinions on it? It says it's for gas or diesel, and since I'm nearing 200K, I'm looking into stuff to bring some more longevity to the engine, and maybe restore it a bit if that's possible...
Thought I posted here too, must not've:
Who's in? 'Bout time to get this going.
Any suggestions for names?

Detroit Dinosaurs of TDR
Any other ideas?
