Yes I guess I can be called an idiot for driving my truck without the oil pressure gauge working, but I did do some checks myself!! Since my post though, the gauge did start working and then not working again, so my guess is its a ground issue, but I'll be sure to check your "Tips"!! Thanks...

If you are kinda if-ey on the cam, just give Diesel Pro's a call, Mr. "Fletcher" will answer any question you have and will get you all lined out!!!

Here is just a suggestion buddy, for a cam I would go with a Diesel Pros Cam, and ONLY their cam!!! I have one in my p-pumped first gen running a PS 62 over a 475 and it spools as fast a a single!!! Seriously no lie!!! And for your timing, if your pump is still at 15 degrees, add another 5-8...

First off about a 1 1/2 years ago I put a new oil pressure sensor in my 99 and had the computer flashed to accept the new updated sensor!!!!! Not long about 8 months later the oil pressure gauge started messing up. Like I was losing oil pressure, but then it would come right back on. Almost...

Speaking of heater issues, I have a 99, all the speeds work on the fan, and all the air directions work, the issue I do have is that I hardly get any heat!! The Heat/cold knob works, if I turn it to cold it turns cold, if I turn it to hot, well, its about luke warm. And when its 25 degrees or...

So here's what I've got going on. I have a 1990 w250 4x4 that I did a boat load of changes to. I p-pumped it, twins, and changed out the transmission to a 47rh, which is fully built. I'm running into an issue with getting the transmission to work correctly. Because this truck didn't come with OD or Lock-up...

Thanks Bruce, after doing some more looking and staring and thinking about the whole thing, I beleive your right also, I definately need more grounds and I think I should re-wire some things and put them by themselves instead of somewhat together so they don't share power!!! Thanks I...

Thanks Grizzly I'll plan on putting more grounds on the ol girl!!!

I've got a 90 that I have just done a whole boat load of things to. From installing an intercooler to different transmission and rear end. Basically what I am saying is that besides the body and interior everything has either been rebuilt or replaced or removed!!! First off when driving under...

Hey fellas, I have an issue on my hands here and I can seem to find anything around me. I'm doing a P-Pump 47rh conversion into a first gen and I need to find a throttle cable and the transmission kickdown cable. If you know of anyone that has a wrecked truck that they would like to part with those...

Hey fellas, I got a major issue on hand here and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm doing a P-Pump and 47rh convertion into the old first gen and I have ran into a huge snag!!! I can't find a throttle cable and/or transmission cable to save my ars. I'm sure I can get them through...

Heard some info last weekend about Chris over there at Engineered Diesel about dealing with him and his turbos. Before you get your panties in a wad, I just want to be clear, I just heard this. So what I have heard is that for one, ED don't build thier own turbos, cut their own wheels ect. I...

Is there anyone out there that knows of a 3 pod gauge pillar for the ol first gen? Or how about 4 gauge pod that will mount in a decent place in the truck that is easy to glance at, but still looks good? I don't want anything thats on the dash either!!! I have the 2 gauge pod already, but I'm...

You definately can't go wrong with 370's as far as cheap horsepower. But like the other guy said, they are a MARINE injector, therefore putting them into your truck is going to cause a slight mismatch with the piston-to-injector. Causing a haze at an idle and more black smoke under heavy...

So I just purchased a transmission cooling fan from Procomp and they ended up sending me the wrong fitting sized cooler. I ordered the 8AN but a 6AN fitting cooler showed up at the door. So here it is, the unit is a 6AN fitting, 16 pass cooler with a 650 cfm fan on it. Will the 6AN fitting size...
