    Transmission Linkage Bracket

    Either I, or my builder misplaced this bracket: BRACKET, Torque Shaft Mtg., Trans. End, I had the transmission rebuilt last thanksgiving and am just now getting around to the install. Anyhow... either myself or my builder misplaced the bracket. Anyone have a spare, or know where I might find...

    Minimize haze at idle.

    So with respect to all the folks who are going to respond with "it depends", I'll try to take care of some of the preliminaries. Assuming stock timing, pump is working correctly, engine is working correctly, fuel pin depth is correct (happy path baseline). And given that I have the pump turned...

    Fluid dampr or harmonic balancer

    So, it is time to replace my old balancer. I've heard that there are fan clearance problems with the fluid damprs. I've also heard that there's a spacer ring for fan nut. Opinions?

    Second Overdrive Switch?

    A lot of my driving is "in town" 25 to 45mph, with short freeway runs. I have been training myself to kick out the overdrive to help keep it alive. What'd be handy though, is if I could add an additional switch at my console (seems like that od switch is a long way away sometimes... ). Any...

    Max speed adjustment screw, umm where’d it go??

    Max speed (High idle) adjustment screw, umm where’d it go?? Well, I'm not sure why, when, or how, but it is gone... I bought a "replacement" threaded rod, but can't find any info on how to properly adjust it. Can anyone give me a hand?

    Suddenly no power steering

    I replaced my power steering pump a week ago. Drove for 100 miles or so over the past week, and on the way home the power steering went away. No noise, plenty of fluid, no foam. It steering acts just like steering under no engine power. I'll check out the check valve in the pump. Any other ideas?

    Torque Converter, anybody got free adivice?

    I recently upgraded my turbo (see sig) and exhaust manifold. It was supposed to be the final upgrade to make my truck, well, hall a**. It did not work out that a away. Long story short, I dropped by a local diesel shop and after a test drive, they felt it was an issues with the converter. I must...

    New springs, not what I expected.

    I installed my new 1" over stock springs on my w250 over the weekend. I ordered them from a custom outfit (I'll leave nameless for now, but is a common name in this forum). The front springs sag to the point of being inverted by 1/4" to 3/8" inch. It looks like I have about 2" between the...

    Power Lok: When to rebuild

    I have a d70 with a stock Power Lok. The diff was starting to lock on tight corners, so I put in more friction additive, didn't help. I pulled the diff cover and everything looks pretty good. That is, except for the play inside the Power Loc. As I rotate the wheels back and forth the rods...

    No smoke... No power... waddya think?

    On the way home this evening, I was accelerating away from a light (with the valet switch off for a little more fun) and my smoke and power went away. Kind of sudden like... I can only pull 15 lb of boost no matter how hard I stand on it. The turbo whistle is gone. I removed the intake boot...

    How hot is HOT!?

    Assuming that all the cooling components are working correctly: 1. At what coolant temp should the fan clutch lock-up? 2. What is the best operating temp for the engine? Does it like it better down around 180? 3. What is the maximum coolant temp that I want to tolerate for long distances...
