I am on the third water pump in 3 months. It seems something is causing damage to the impeller. The last one I pulled out looked like someone hit the impeller with a hammer or something. Its almost as if there is something somewhere in the coolant that might be causing this but how it got there...

Does anyone know the difference between the intermediate steering shaft on a 2wd truck and a 4wd truck. The Stealership swears up and down they are different and wants $130. more for the 2wd shaft. Borgensen lists their part as the same for 2wd and 4wd. The steering box for each truck lists the...

A friend of mine is selling an 86' Ram 250 gas burner. It has a few issues. The rear main is leaking. The trans is acting up. But the body is very clean. It was for sure the grandpa truck. A first gen enthusiast would kill to have the body of this truck. He asked me about it so I told him I...

I wondered if anyone has experience with mixing bio from wvo. My 1st batch came out a caramel color but foggy. My 2nd batch came out like jelly. I followed instruction from utah biodiesel to a t. The titration was a little high but from what ive seen on youtube people make fuel from the...

My 98' 12v has progressively been getting worse. It is loosing its prime and unless I bleed fuel up to the injector it wont start. The lift pump is new with only a few hundred miles on it. I have not checked to see if it is "making oil". Im not sure if this can be an issue with the CTD. Does...

I have to admit that I was always somewhat skeptical about the MPG's people were claiming to get from their CTD's. After having my 98 12v for about a year and not taking much of a road trip that I wasnt towing anything. I took a recent trip to VA from NC. I wasnt towing anything but the cab was...

I did a trans filter and fluid change on the 98' five days ago. After that the trans didnt seen to shift the same. A few times it seemed to pop out of gear. After I had already put the pan back on I noticed that the filter was made in China. It acted strange for two or three days. I finally went...

Just wanted to give a reminder. The reason for today. The reason this day is special has nothing to do with bunnies, candy, or chocolate. Although those things are nice and give the warm fuzzies to many children. Today is special for a very different reason. If you were to go back in time. The...

Has anyone run their motor without the noise shield that goes between the inj pump and the motor. I was wondering how much louder it sounded. Is it a bad racket. I was able to get mine off to paint the motor but I dont think I can get it back on without removing the pump. If setting the pump...
