    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) P7100 pump opinions

    here is the deal,I have a 180 hp pump with 3000 hp springs,# 6 plate full forward. But i have 481k and its tired,leaks oil out the shaft and i'm sure needs gone threw anyways. runs good but smokes some days,not others,weired,was going to set timing,probably useless on something so worn. does...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) intercooler issue

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question,but i'm looking for a used stock intercooler for my 97 that DON"T leak at all and has been tested. I'm way down on power due to the big leaks I have on mine. I do have 477k on it! I just don't have the 1300. 00 to get what I really...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) blue-ish smoke when cold

    The smoke was the same as before the repair,it has always had this minor thing,but it does get less and less as it warms up. The fuel heater is by-passed. I use almost no oil,its fuel. I'm thinking of checking timing anyways,just wondering if anyone had a decrease is blue - ish smoke by doing a...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) blue-ish smoke when cold

    Just did my head gasket (factory) this weekend for a lingering external coolant leak and was very pleased to find cross-hatch still in the cylinders. But my question is this. I have always had some blue smoke on cold start ups... probably from all my bombs so far to the truck. You have to really...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Injectors have you seen these?? Big MPG increase claim.

    Try them you will like them,you don't need to blow smoke to make good power. These injectors will prove that to you over the "other ones out there" With fuel at 4 bucks a gallon,mileage should be on everyone's minds i would think. They worked fantastic for me. The ad is hard to read though I...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Injectors have you seen these?? Big MPG increase claim.

    I'm the 2nd guy in the ad that bought a set,the claim was true for me. I love them,i was told they were comparable to the "370" hp injectors. I had 330 marine ones that gave great power,but smoked heavy and my mileage was horrible. they missed too at times. I feel the ones off e-bay were well...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) engine running very warm-plugged heater core?

    sounds like the clutch fan is lazy/late to come on,make sure the fan can get air threw the rad. The clutch fans are cheap,i paid 67. 00 at advance auto for mine,but they will have to order it i'll bet. You may want to verify the accuracy of the gauge too. See if anyone you know has a non contact...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel pressure readings?

    ok guys,looks like its the freakin gauge at this point. Its a e-bay iso-pro mechanical unit. Found it leaking antifreeze on the carpet today. The readings were steadly gettin worse since my last post. I'll talk to joe or who-ever thinks they have a good electric set up. Is there a kit,been...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) engine running very warm-plugged heater core?

    One last thing i thought of,make sure you are not over 70 percent anti-freeze mixture... . 50/50 is good to -34..... more is NOT better. The WATER cools the engine,not the glycol. If you don't believe me... NASCAR and drag cars use only water (the rules) and they do fine

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel pressure readings?

    I tweaked the overflow valve (its only a year old) already with some shims from another valve i had. I didn't go crazy,cuz my gauge pegs at 30 till my new one comes in. Thanks joe,i will e-mail you on that fuel system info. When i first got the truck about 25k ago,there was mud... and i mean mud...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) engine running very warm-plugged heater core?

    I have seen corrosion on the inside of the rad,so bad that enough coolant can't flow threw fast enough. Or the clutch fan may be junk. Drain the rad a tad and look down in that puppy. Mine was really bad,but... i had over 440k when it plugged,and i think the last owner skipped some coolant...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel pressure readings?

    Soooo... . anyone have any opinions? My gauge only goes to 30,i have a new one on order that will go to 60. From what i read in the past forums,most of you are up in the 40 range or so. I have more shims for my overflow valve,so i'll adjust it up more that direction when i get my new gauge. Also...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel pressure readings?

    Ok,I installed a pressure gauge after my fuel filter on my 12 valve,and I did look up the spec. I have over 25 at rated rpm,but it swings a bit from 21-29 when i matt it to the floor in the driveway. Is this aceptable? Also when i pull a hill and my foot is threw the floor,i go down to 8-10...
