    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Swapped 6spd for Auto now no start.

    Please lets not. Last time I had to drag that truck to the dealer it cost me 50 bucks for them to do 30 sec worth of work! And to prove they can't follow instructions either.

    Led bulbs

    IIRC they are just a standard 194 wedge base bulb but I could be wrong. I think any one from the sites listed above would work. My overheads are recons and my truck didn't originaly come with them however the plugin on the pigtail of the recons looked like a 194.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Airtex lift pump pressure question

    Thats about what I see and I have a 30psi Autometer. However I have some Jammer 3 injectors and an ADR and I can pull it down to about 3 psi in the higher RPMs. Its pretty good for a stock replacement. Mine has been going a year now without a hitch. However I'm going to have to upgrade because...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Adrenaline issues

    Just though I'd give an update. The stealership charged me 50 bucks and all he did was jump the starter relay. Didn't even reflash the computer like I asked him too. But whatever. Anyways my truck runs fine now except the brake light is always on. Sent the chip in to have quad look at so...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Adrenaline issues

    Unfortunetly not. I don't know anybody around here with the same type of truck as me well enough for them to actually let me have their ECM. One of the downfalls of having antisocial tendencies I suppose. Had my sister help me tow it 20 miles into town. and she drives a half ton ford!:{ I hope...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Adrenaline issues

    So I finally got an Adrenaline yay! Except for a few minor details. First got the box on Tuesday. A friend and me put it on on Wednsday after work. Everything was fine until I hooked the Red W/ white tracer up to the #9 fuse. The circuit had power immediatly. Start engine up nothing. The pulse...

    "Stupid" Things You're Proud Of

    I do a lot of the things mentioned already. I coast as much as possible coming to a stop and use the transmission to pull my speed down. And I always try to apply just the right amount of pressure on the brakes to stop where I want to. I do the starter thing too and my work truck really...

    Killer Heat Wave

    It is finally cooling down here. They are only predicting high 80's to low 90's this week. But it has been high 90's to a little over 100 for a while. Pretty typical for a Nebraska summer. Thankfully its usually fairly dry though the humidity has been a little high lately.

    Competition First Time at Drag Strip

    Is Kearny always disorganized and crowded? We didn't start racing till about 3 in the afternoon. Then after everybody had run once they sat and dinked around for 15-20 then called for the flathead guys to stage so we had to wait for another 10 min before they got all ready to go(they were too...

    Running kerosene in diesel truck

    Your mileage will go down. How much I don't know for sure. I Would shy away from running it in your truck during the summer. Its' a little thinner than #1 Diesel fuel to give you a rough comparison. It works pretty good in the winter if you mix a couple gallons of kerosene in with a...

    Dark Knight (no spoilers yet - read with caution)

    It sounded to me like it was staightpipe and had the silencer ring removed. It sounded really nice :)

    Competition First Time at Drag Strip

    And I have to say it was a blast. We went down to Kearny, Ne for a test and tune night. Kearny also had a cruise night so the the strip was pretty full. Lots of nice cars. I was jealous :). Saw one Dodge that had a suburban body grafted onto the front end. The best Suv Dodge never built...

    Make sure to check your overhead clearance (Drive thru w/ trailer)

    I think he meant the friend that sent it to him was a Ford owner and was therefore gloating.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) FINALLY!!!! Some one puts an end to Carter!!

    Oh Darn, 7 months on my peice of crap Airtex in the stock location. Pressures are still the same as they were in January when I put it in. PHEW! The Good Lord has smiled upon me and empowered my inferior pump to last over half a year! I'll cross my fingers and hope it lasts for another week or...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Edge (DD) Jammer 3 nozzles...questions...

    Did you have your tips installed on your injector bodies by a shop? Or did you do it yourself? Or buy injectors with the tips already on them? Any good Shop would have pop tested them when they installed them. IF you did it yourself then you can take em out and into a diesel shop. LIke Fishin...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Edge (DD) Jammer 3 nozzles...questions...

    A pop test is to check at what pressure your injectors will begin to inject fuel or "pop". They can also check for leaks at the same time. It's definetly a good idea to have your injectors pop tested. Uneven pop off pressures can cause your truck to idle rough(er) lose power, and fuel economy...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Edge (DD) Jammer 3 nozzles...questions...

    My Jammer's Idle Rougher too. Not to the point you can really feel it but you can hear it. I don't know what the pop off pressures are but I know that they were tested when they were installed on my injector bodies. I installed the inectors myself. I have a 5600 but I have noticed that...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) GT45 for twins

    How would this turbo be for a bottom on a twins? Overall goal is 600-650 drivable horsepower. I would use the stock 35 on top or possibly a 35/40. Can you buy different turbine housings for this turbo? Because as it is now I would think it would be way too tight. Although it could be a misprint...
