    Finally got a new time!

    Congratulations on the time! :thumb: I thought that Trent went into the 11's before his stock bottom end developed an "issue".

    How many times a day to you open her up??

    I put the tunes in Emma this weekend and hit it enough to limp 5th...:mad: I rollled into it passing, and she let go at about 85 or so.....I really wasn't watching the speedo. I didn't think I had twisted it up that far :eek:. So now, it is a few times a day up to 4th gear.

    Pyrometer installation

    Mine has been tapped for years, and I have never had any problems. But....use the grease on both the bit and the tap, and have the engine running. It helps if you have help starting and stopping the engine. It also helps if you start with a cold exhaust manifold.

    Save your pennies and buy a larger turbo :thumb: I have never liked the idea of filling my CAC with an explosive gas. :eek:

    Question: Salary/Hour for Heavy Duty Mechs

    I would say depends on where you want to work. If you don't mind the oil fields in Alberta, want to work and agree to stay for more than 5 days, you may be able to just about name your price. They are having real problems keeping people......

    Pros Cons

    I like single exhausts on turbo diesels (stacks or out the back), even for triples. Duals are for gassers.... :roflmao:

    Exhaust?

    ^^X2 I would also take a look at just a single. Some of the dual kits have clearance issues around the spare tire. I have installed both Banks and Diamond Eye 4" exhaust systems. The 409ss Banks kit was nicer and quieter (if you are looking for that type of thing), but cost over twice as...

    Computer Gurus...need help

    Before you throw it all out with a reformat, you might want to try to load Ubuntu but not do an install. That way you can see what is happening on the original NTFS or whatever partition. I have salvaged computers before using Ubuntu. You could always do a dual boot machine with Ubuntu...

    Pancho

    IMOP, you need to be careful. The stuff that goes into the tank needs to be clean with no particulates. With the cost of a CP3 nearly $1000, and injectors at $260 each, I wonder how much $$ I would save burning bio's if it was not done correctly and took out components of the injection system...

    Rebuild Kit Questions

    Talk to George at Suncoast. Make sure to get not just the GMax6 parts, but also the gaskets and seals. While you are there, you might also want to replace all of the torrington bearings. A lot of places will sell the clutches/steels, big paper gaskets, and the TransGo parts, but not include...

    Help: Squealing from Drivers Side front wheel

    I hope it is a stone in the brakes. It could also be a unit bearing. Maybe you washed some dirt into a bad seal from going in the ditch??? :confused:

    I am offically an EMT

    Congratulations. I did that on a volunteer basis for a small town fire department in another lifetime. It was a lot of fun, and I saw some things that I will never forget. :( It also cured me of drunk driving. What we did was mostly respond to vehicle accidents out on the highway. Good...

    Quietest Exhaust System???

    The trips on the Banks system are pretty quiet in the cab....but I heard from a buddy that when the HTT as a single lit off, it was pretty loud outside the cab. I KNOW the Banks with an HTT S366 is more quiet inside the cab than the Diamond Eye (with the quiet front pipe) I have on Emma with a...

    Speedo Issue

    I have had problems with the instrument cluster on 3 GM vehicles. I always ask....is it a problem with the IC? The IC can cause a lot of problems with the vehicle if something goes haywire...:(

    ABS Light and brake light

    X2 w/ Auble, sounds like dealer BS to me. The Tech II should still be able to read balance rates, etc. Either operator error, or just being lazy if you told them you were using tuning software with regards to balance rates. I had a Tech II for a while, and could read stuff just fine. I never...
