    ? For self employed members

    Insurance is pricey but so are medical bills. My first treatments were 3,500 for a 3.5hr ordeal, current one that actually worked was 55,000 per treatment. Its a 20 minute treatment. My medical bills the past year would buy a nice house on the beach. That said, if we could completely purge the...

    No more fake wood.

    Working on that when I can go back to working. I'll update this when it's done.

    No more fake wood.

    Got some 3M Di-Noc awhile back. Not a huge carbon fiber nut but it's easiest to get and looks nice. This stuff is actually 3d which is neat. Took awhile to get it stretched right but turned out pretty decent. Cheap upgrade.

    Coolant flowing into crankcase

    I agree its possible. C12s and some others are known to push a pile of coolant into the crankcase if the weep hole gets plugged when the pump goes out. Seen some dump a gallon a day in. The driver will notice oil level went up a gallon and coolant went down a gallon lol. Have you ran it at all...

    LBZ: California emissions trucks

    yep LB7 was the only one with different models for emissions reasons. The rest have all been the same.

    LML engine build recommendations

    " A Lot" is LB7 injector failures. CP4 failures are much less common than the issue is made out to be. They fail in many applications but theres plenty still running strong. They are just sensitive to poor fuel with a lot of water. Biodiesel will make this issue worse.

    LBZ: Dtc p0116 & p0167

    Excess oil on MAF does weird things. Have no idea where you will find the O2 sensor though..... As for the ECT if it persists check the wiring for any rubbing. Gauge working fine? Can always try leaving batteries unhooked again for a little while. Magical trick to fix lots of puters.

    Best 750-1000HP Crank Friendly Tuner

    Fleece and Kory both can. Others may be able to now as well, but they were two of the first IIRC. I personally am looking at some Shorthorn tunes though for big power. Maybe stacked with crazy larry and a joe farmer smoke tune (flashback lol)

    Allison 5sp: LB7 Allison tranny questions

    Stock trans without towing on a short trip, over 200 seems warm but is possible. Depends on what your 90* is. Wisconsin 90* and 120% humidity doesn't really help to "cool" things at all. The air feels the same at 90mph as it does standing still. The gauges are not always right, but trans...

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    Everyone on here that has built them has messed one or two up or had something that caused one to not work perfect. It happens. My first one cracked the extension housing. Didn't have P2 ring seated in the last C4 friction and bent that to shit. The bearings were hammered into my head from...

    Took the Cruze Crusin'

    Can't buy a TDI cruze anywhere, TDI is a VW trademark :D Manual trans isn't available in US, not sure where thats hinted at in this thread. I wish you could buy one.

    TDI @ strip

    Had it done by reseller in US. Exhaust came from up nort though eh?

    Took the Cruze Crusin'

    Seems to be a theme. LMLs have a terrible dead pedal too. Part of why I like a stick some days, push the pedal and go.

    TDI @ strip

    It's worth it. A lot more fun. I waited until the dpf had a fault. Another guy in the area asked me about it when he got the estimate from VW to fix his. 7 grand for a new exhaust system. No thanks.

    TDI @ strip

    If I'd get it to hookup the 330 would be impressive. Traction control helped. I ran once without if and realized I really suck at driving lol. Added over a half a second. At least I wasn't the slowest guy there and compared to other compact economy cars the Cruze and TDI are rockets. They're...

    Transmission leak

    Many aftermarket replacements are cork or straight rubber. As mentioned they do not work well. The rubber may work better than cork in a pinch, but the factory one is best. Reuseable until it starts to leak. I always coat it with a film of grease for some reason, old habit (but im not...

    TDI @ strip

    I went to the strip with my Wife's TDI last week. The best I clicked off was a 16.033 at 89mph. Wanted to break into the 15s and probably could if I knew how to drive. Its a stick and for some reason I would never pay attention and launch at 4k RPM blasting through the tires through 1st and part...

    When his balls finally dropped Bri I went to the strip with my Wife's TDI last week. The best I clicked off was a 16.033 at 89mph. I must return and best your time. Wanted to break into the 15s and probably could if I knew how to drive. Its a stick and for some reason I would never pay...
