I cant tell you the part number, but I can tell you trying to run your engine cooler would be foolish. I will explain why so nobody else reading this gets the idea that a cooler thermostat is a good idea. First point is diesels run about 40% thermal efficiency. That means approx. 40% heat is...

I work in a case tractor dealership. After I rebuild, resleeve or install a reman engine, the tractor gets an oil pressure check with a gauge off the oil galley and goes straight onto the dyno. By the time it is hooked up to the dyno that is the first 5 minutes of warming up. Next I run it about...

Also if anyone else reading is confused on how to read the tire size Lt235/80 r17 lt= light truck 235= millimeters tire width 80= the sidewall is 80% of the width of the tire R17= the rims size of 17 "

I only know this because I just got tires today. I got Lt235/80r17 Michelin LTX M/S2, 70,000 mile warr, 6 of them mounted with high sales tax, total about $1500. As far as Bf Goodrich, Michelin, Goodyear are concerned they don't make any bigger than 80% in a 235 width on 17" rims. So if you want...

Additives benefit more than just cavitation. Additives benefit the entire coolant system. Corrosion, hoses, water pump, and mostly scale build up. 1/16 inch of scale in your coolant passages will insulate equivalent of 4 inch's of cast iron. Im not making up the scale number that was from...

At those temps why would you want to lower your coolant temp? 212 is the perfect temp for pretty much every diesel that exists. It runs better, helps keeps deposits in your engine down, and helps prevent scale build up in your coolant passages. Also on an interesting side note about...

Do short bed trucks have a carrier bearing on the driveshaft.

If they are the clamp onto the wire type battery terminals i would put good ones on also. Some very nice terminals that are quick, easy and quality are Fusion battery terminals. The solder is already inside of them, you just heat up with a torch, you hold the terminal so the melting solder...

I was just curious as to how many current paying members TDR has.

As the list of upgrades in the signature of of most every user can attest to, factory doesnt always mean quality. Im sure some bean counter in chrysler said "hey we can save $100K if we buy coolant from these guys. " Probably isnt the coolant, but the exact same water pumps on industrial...

My father is doing a swap with a 24v 2002 into a 50's ford something. I am not completely familer with 2nd gens. Since i dont know what its offically called, ill call it the "throttle box" above the vp44. What i assume is that it turns a mechanical signal from cab throttle pedal into an electric...

Sorry, posted in wrong forum, not sure how to delete thread.

Also i forgot to mention my Shucks/O'reily auto parts water pump has a lifetime warrenty as long as i own the vehicle. Granteed that isnt going to help me if it fails 100 miles from nowhere, and isnt going to cover the hassle, but i least i wont be out my $55.

I dont have any more experience with these pump in dodge trucks other than the single time i did mine 1000 miles ago. But from what others seem to say on these forums about any brand water pump is they are pretty much all crap. I work at a Case tractor dealership and for a long time case used...

Amsoil engine oil bypass kit. BMK-21. It is complete. No filter included. $150 i pay shipping

Ok your right, on a second look i see isspro offers the gauges that do match. White background and black numbers. Before i only saw White background with colored numbers. I didnt know the same series "ev2" was offered with both black lettering and color. They also offer more types of gauges so i...

Isspro is a better guage i think too. But i like how the autometer will match the dash. Also isspro and autometer are pretty much the same price. One gauge is $20 more, another is $20 less. The $800 is what i quoted myself from the cheapest place i could find on the internet. That includes 6...

Im looking for a full set. I just cant justify spending $800 for new on everything i need/want. I know i could use some fancy ipod on steroids to see most of this, but i want true gauges. r14033 Fuel pressure 1-30 r14211 oil pressure r14022 pyro 0-1600 r14599 trans temp 100-280 r14233 boost...

Have you replaced your air filter. People get caught up on all sorts of things but white smoke is a sign of UNBURNT FUEL. That can be caused by dribling injector and on start up and the extra fuel is blown out of the exhaust. Or on the other hand. Air is just as important for the combustion...
