Sorry for such a basic question. I'm installing a new hx35 onto my 01 auto. The new turbo has a banded clamp that I need to cut off. The existing hose will be a little too short with the adjustable elbow I'm also installing. I'll need to replace this hose and add some worm style clamps. Do I...

I finished the 3rd gen brake conversion last night. A little insight for someone thinking about doing this. Just do it, lol. Of course you'll need 17" wheels. I got my OE 3rd gen wheels off of craigslist. All you really need is the Caliper brackets ($15. a side from rock auto) and rotors off a...

Thanks, I'm still leaning towards the Mach 1.6 injectors. I wonder how those 1.6's would be listed with the new way everyone seems to list injectors today. 7 x .010, 7 x .008, sac, vdo, it's a bit too confusing for me. More power is always more fun. That said, I want to do this right and not...

Thanks everyone. I ordered my rotors, caliper mounting brackets and a Moog "Problem Solver" track bar last night. I'll try and get a better inspection this weekend. I just figured it was ball joint time with 150k miles. I've never done anything to the front end other than brakes and diff oil...

My truck doesn't get driven a lot. The last few times I've used it, I've heard a clunking sound coming from the right front area. I'm thinking's it's ball joint time. I'm finally getting around to doing the 3rd gen upgrade on my brakes. I just picked up some 17" wheels. Doing a bit of research...

Hello everyone After looking at new 3500's, I just can't seem to justify the $70k, higher fuel prices and crazy registration costs here in CA. So the old girl is getting some much needed attention. After I finish with the brakes and front end stuff, the engine is gonna get some lovin too. Is it...

Out with the old and in with the new. I hope your new truck treats you as well.

That will always put a smile on my face

I'm finally thinking/researching mine. I know I'm late coming to the game. But with the truck in the shop getting the trans done, my main excuse has disappeared. I've always wanted the 1.6's. But I've always admired Marco and his work.

Two years already. Patiently has been taken to a new extreme...

Yes, the one from Vulcan Performance is what I remember. Thanks for the link

Hello, what's the best option for replacing the sending unit on my fuel tank. I have the small FASS installed. I just used the included equipment during the install. I figure now would be a good time to handle everything while I'm in there. It seems like I remember a company offering a sending...

I love my smarty for my 2001. I used it on 5 most of the time. I just took the truck in for an auto trans. upgrade. I figured WTF. set it on 9 for the ride there. WOW. I like it. I do have a question. I thought I remembered reading that I could use it to make my truck have a high idle. Is this...
