    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Time for control arms

    Have purchased upper and lower control arms from Hell Bent steel. For the buck, they looked better designed than BDs and I'm curious if anyone has replaced theirs and what to expect when doing the job. (ugh) Would their be tension on the axle? Is there a sequence to follow? If I keep the same...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Rattlesnake in my turbo?

    Well, sounds like it.....I have Industrial Injection Phatshaft with about 3k miles on it and lately have some serious noise and choking as I give it throttle. Happens mainly when I shift into 5th gear and I'm at 45 mph giving it throttle. Literally sounds like a mean *** rattlesnake, then as I...

    Looking for a source for an AFC housing gasket, I think it's silicone. It looks like a big O ring only big and oval like. Would any one know where to purchase one?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 3k gov spring woes

    Well decided to install 3k gov springs this weekend. . . . I should have gone somewhere to have fun! The install went okay, got the old springs and shims out and new in without loosing parts, and with a pair of needle nose pliers I got the nuts tightened to . 060 just as the stock ones read on...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Runs sluggish after new injectors

    Well, the 75 hp injectors from DDP I've had in the tool box for a year finally got installed. Didn't expect the 12 valve to run so sluggish!!! My dog has more gitty up. Turbo lights up around 1900 /2000 rpms and then she'll go! Stock injectors with #11 fuel plate lit the turbo just fine at 1700...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Turbo oil return flange won't fit new turbo

    Need some help with this one. . . . . Just installed a 6270 Phatshaft turbo from Industrial Injection and looked like a true bolt on, but the oil return pipe flange does not fit the turbo. Just can't get that puppy to line up the top flange and bottom connection to oil pan. The pipe hits the...

    Air Dog 165 priming problem....Anybody got an opinion?

    After a year of great performance, my Dog is very slow to prime at 1/2 tank of fuel. When the tank is full, it snaps to attention and gets to 28 psi by the time I let go of the ignition key. I've checked all tank connections and am starting to think I should get rid of the quick connect and go...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Engine speed sensor gone nuts!!!

    My mission to kill the dowel pin was a success! However, upon re installing the speed sensor I ignorantly used a metal feeler gauge to set at . 049. Service manual( hindsight) says to use brass feeler gauge. Now my tach reads backwards or decreases in rpms and service engine light comes on. Any...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Dowel pin "Do as I say, NOT as I do"

    OHHhhh man... ... The perfect "shade tree" in NM so I decided to buck it up and "kill" the dowel pin. Got out the tool box, doctored up a big mug of joe, and got my attitude right. Time to install the TST kit I have had haunting me from the tool box for 3 months. Breakdown went easy 'nuff and...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission AmI running operating temp to cool???

    I would like to know what you guys are running for thermostats... . I am consistent at 180 degrees with the stat that came with the truck. I bought it used, so I don't know if anyone changed the thermostat. So far, Afe intake and exhaust and a little tweak to the star wheel and mpg seems to be...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) stronger head bolts?

    started with a few mods to improve towing..... that was 3K ago. Now looking at 350 to 375 HP and don't know if I should worry about stronger head bolts. Anyone know at what point the stock bolts will need to be changed?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) hard to shift while stopped NV 4500

    well... (deep subject for this shallow mind)... 98 12 valve NV4500 transmission and 5th gear went south after 131K so I replaced it with a good reman one, along with a Phoenix 13" clutch kit good for 1000lb/torq and medium towing. The reman transmission is Very hard to shift while stopped, especially trying...

    fuel heater

    I have installed the AirDog II ... . awesome ! But bypassing the OEM lift pump,filter, and heater/pre filter left me with no heat for the winter. Tried plumbing the 1/2" fuel line into just the pre filter and heater, but not designed for 25 psi, it leaked from the sensor. Anyone have ideas on...
