I think I will get the timing checked. When I do I may as well have it set. What is a good timing setting for a truck that will never tow anything huge and will eventually have a TST fuel plate, Piers HX35/16 and some different injectors.

I Just started driving my 1995 2500 extended cab long box 4x4. I have put a couple thousand miles on it with zero oil usage and no blowby out the vent tube. The truck does have 254,000 miles on it but leaks nothing. I am used to the nice smooth sound of my 1st gen and this 2nd gen is really loud...

Thanks for the info. I guess I can buy that second gen than.

I have a HX35 with a non waste gated 16 cm exhaust housing from Piers that I had on my first gen. Will this fit on a 95 and is it any better than the stock turbo on the 95?

Yeah I think one of those back racks would help consilderably. I am about 6' actually but I feel slightly shorter now. Thanks for the link barbwire it worked like a charm. Seems like a nice ride.

I am a welder and the next one will have a roll bar of some kind. I real roll bar and not chromed either. I am looking at tying it into the bed and the frame while not taking up any space in the bed itself. I think I can make one plenty strong. A very strong brush guard up to hood height will...

I am going to buy it back I think. It has brand new tires, two optimas, a Webasto heater and all that. I will put everything in the next one and put the drivetrain on the shelf for when I need it.

hahaha, awesome

Hey CumminsAholic that would be great. I miss the truck already. The Tacoma I am borowing is killing me. PM me if you find anything.

I was southbound on 494 at carlson parkwayon my way to Hopkins. I don't know if I am going bo go 1st or 2nd gen yet but if you see any 1st gens with good clean exteriors I am very interested. They don't have to be perfect just nice looking with little rust. I will drive to get one. Regular or...

Well at 9:30 last night I was driving Back from Saskatchewan and was 6 miles from home when bam. A little white plastic car hit the back of my fully loaded truck and pushed it sideways. Over I went. Luckily no one was hurt and a friend took me home. I immediatly started looking for another...

I can get to 1000 deg. I thought 1300 was the safe limit for these engines. What is the safe egt limit for all day long on the highway? Right now I run between 800 and 900 at 80-85 MPH.

Thanks for the responses guys I will give Piers a call and see about prices and availability. I got my injectors and HX35 from them and was very happy.

Hey to all I was just wondering where to get a performance upgrade and rebuild for my VE. Anybody had good/bad experiances and what are the approximate costs? I am not looking for anything huge but a nice improvement over stock.

How far can you turn the power adjustment screw? Can you turn it to far? What does it move or push against? I don't have a baseline as the previous owner messed with it already. Essentially can I hurt the pump by turning it to far?
