    My first gun

    Very nice.... I remember the day I bought my first handgun. It was my birthday present to myself on my 21st birthday, many moons ago as they say....She is a Colt Combat Commander in 45 ACP. I still have her, and it is my carry gun. She has served me well over the years, and has had some...

    Alaskan newb

    Ohhhh.....they are not going to go to waste, I think of it as warm storage until I'm ready to go to the track...:D:D:D They are M/T DOT drag tires that will fit on the stock forged wheels. I had an extra set of wheels and was being cheap. Thanx for the offer though...

    Alaskan newb

    We'll see about the strip, last year I bought drag tires, but had transmission issues, then I was waiting for the trips to come in and just wrote it all off. This year, I am waiting for some parts from MikeL to put the tranny back together, but work may get in the way. One way or the other, I...

    Building A Tune

    If you buy a V2, you can use it to diagnose most GM vehicles. You can also tune 2 vehicles before you have to purchase another license ($125 each for additional licenses). The V2 uses one license per vehicle and comes with 2. I would recommend purchasing from the vendors here. Most will give...

    Alarm Mysteriously goes off???

    I know with my motorcycle, if the battery is low or disconnected, the alarm will sound (it has it's own internal battery).

    Whats the hot gauge setup nowadays?

    I have twin AeroForce Interceptors in both trucks. I like that the analog inputs can be plugged into EFI and logged when the AeroForce are not plugged into the ODBII port. 2 gauges, 4 lines to see, they read the ECM and also have 2 analog inputs per gauge. You can also read and clear DTC's...

    Craziest craigslist add ever

    I don't know, maybe you could part out the running gear, transmission, and bed and get your $2500 back. I think they are getting about $600 for an operating 6.2????

    Low engine temp

    I'm not sure, maybe I did not wait long enough when I was using EFI. I was not logging, just reading the ECT.....Oh well, new stats are not a bad thing at 200K....

    Low engine temp

    I figured it out. I have a bad stepper motor on the ECT gauge. There are some small issues with the IC, so I get to have a new instrument cluster. It seemed weird,...... the glow plugs would not turn on after a hot restart...I should have known.... I was going to change the bulbs in the IC...

    Low engine temp

    Low engine temp

    I purchased an 04 LB7 for a second truck. During the test drive, the coolant temp never came up much beyond 160*. I noticed that there was some cardboard behind the cold front, and figured it was a stuck thermostat. Anyway, I changed the stats, but the temp is still not coming up. I checked...

    Lower EGT?

    I'm not saying its smart! :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: But what do you want from the truck. :dontknow: When I want to go fast, I quit looking at the EGT's, or at least I did before I added the trips. Now that kind of fueling will bend rods. A better question is to ask me what I do when I tow...

    Lower EGT?

    More air, or less fuel, finer tuning. What are the goals? Nobody said a new CAC, but that will help just a little, but I would go more air before I went CAC. You could also check for boost leaks.....
