I'd like to borrow an engine oil dip stick for about 3 hrs 98 12v engine mine broke off the handle and slid down the tube the SMOG referee won't pass my truck without the dipstick in place (long story) I have one on order at Geno's but is backordered and not sure when it will come...

Darn oil dipstick broke, tried pliers then magnet but it went whoosh--down the tube and out of sight. Long story, but I can't get my truck registered without the dipstick fixed--they say they gotta check the oil before doing the smog test--(its a referee station, so I can't just go somewhere...

I just got the Toyo MTs 285R75 16s They are overkill for my application, I mostly tow on regular roads but I got 'em for 2 reasons 1) I wanted an E rated tire for towing, and 2) Iliked the 285s for pulling out of mud (where my trailer is always parked) They look a little serious as I...

thanks, I have checked all my boots, turbo boot, air filter etc, twice doesn'tmean there's not a pinhole leak I can't see, bu but nothing obvious. Put it back together with afc to manifol plastic line, 2 orings each end, no ferruels stock barb and stock hose to wastegate, buit tighter than it...

Yes, I am using new hose. It's pretty sturdy, and rated to 100psi, which should be plenty as a line to my wastegate (had it handy) The old stuff I took off had an orange inner layer, and was spongy. Easy to remove. The stuff I'm putting on, I tried a barb just to make sure it was the right...

Reason I'm thinking diaphragm is because the hole in the middle of the diaphragm looked frayed when I put in the afc spring, so when I didn't see any improvement I suspect it. Always been a dog, and not much improvement with my changes so I"m thinking there's a problem. My boost runs 0...

Yes, I plugged the AFC to wastegate port. The line I tested was the hard plastic line between aFC and manifold. I don't see any cracks, in that line, there's 2 little rubber o-rings on each end. Thats all on those hoses, a rib on each end, with 2 orings in front of it. The ferrules are...

I have a 98 12v 215, came to California a couple years ago, that owner was in the service, truck was sold out of state, now i brought it back The vin indicates its a 215, but theres a plate on the gear cover that allows it to be in CA Does this mean its been tinkered with to be in CA...

Sorry for Whining Cowgirl'd up Plugged the the afc to wastegate Disconnected the boost line from manifold, and vacuum tested that line to AFC Doesnt hold vacuum and it should have, right? then I would have a leak in the line between the manifold and the afc, -OR the afc isn't...

Cool, thanks much

So should I disconnect the ferrlule at the manifold, to test the line going back to the AFC? I'll have to block the boost elbow somehow, which will be a pain. . It was kinda hard to get on, limited space, but guess I could put the old barb back on and plug it. . is this the best way...

The ones on Ebay are $29 shipped. . they are Bosch and are as good as any LOTs of people have used them and say they work great I only have an opinion, no knowledge BUT I haven't read any complaints about them at all... Not sure why the huge variation in cost, maybe because cummins...

Thinking of Lube-think Marine Green Aqua Lube would be ok? rated to 400F Whatcha think? I can push them on fine, its getting them off I twist and turn but often just end up cutting it off Since I think I'll be taking this off soon, I wish I could make it easier whatcha think?I can push then...

My vacuum pump measures inches HG, not how its usually measured It held to 20 inches, then I stopped because I wasn't sure how much vacuum is the right amount... Should I go to 30 with this gauge? thanks

Is there a trick to make hose easier to remove? Installing 1/4" hose onto barb, once its on it is NOT coming off Its on my boost elbow off my AFC, so I KNOW I'll be taking it off, prolly soon What can I put on to make it easier to take off? I'll be using a clamp and its very sticky...

I Put a llittle vacuum where exactly? I'm installing the boost elbow where it comes out of the AFC housing But I can't use that because it has a presure release. right? I was hoping not to take the AFC off one more time. . Sorry, I can turn a wrench (well, learning) but I know...

OK, I've got a small vacuum pump kit, can you point me to directions? I thought the boost lines were pressure not vacuum, how do I test the diaphram? thanks

I'm trouble shootiing a low boost, low power no smoke issue I/m looking for a leak, I suspect the AFC diaphragm is the problem or at least part of it I saw this post--is this safe to try? 'You can test it by taking the AFC off. Cover up the hole to keep oil from flying out of it and go...
