I'm planning in putting Stage 3 injectors and my mechanic says to replace the stock turbo with a Super B. I agree, but want to know if I upgrade the housing of my stock turbo to a 16 NWG housing will that housing keep my egt's down. My mechanic says it would be close, what do you think? I tow a...

What hp gain would one expect from a #10 plate and 3K GSK springs on a stock 97 12 valve? And would you also gain some hp(through increased efficiency) from a triple disk torque converter? What would a ballpark figure be? Thanks, Jim

I'm attempting to install a torque converter locking device on my 97, 2500, auto, 4WD. I have read the various threads and I also have the service manual to identify the correct wires. I need to identify the wire from my PCM to the Torque Converter Solenoid, which is K54. It originates from the...

What does it mean to "lock" the torque converter and can the truck operate (drive) locked or unlocked? I know this is a dumb question, but I'm new to diesels and torque converter "locking" issues. Thanks, Jim
