    Trans Go Jr Install Rant

    There is that too, if one of the shops was selling it and he bought it elseware, I wouldn't expect great service. Especially on an $80 part, not a lot of room for savings.

    Trans Go Jr Install Rant

    Book time to R&R the valvebody is 3hrs so i can see where they would be getting their price from. I wouldn't take it to a shop that isn't familiar with it though, you have better odds of doing it right yourself unless its a mechanic you trust. Many shop owners are very smart, but a lot of...

    Ifs tips?

    IFS is much better than a solid axle. Want to go backwards on technology? great buy a solid axle Ram or Ford. While your at it just saddle up the donkey and go green... GM's system has its weak links, but IFS in general is not the issue. It is the superior choice when built properly, but it...

    Bye Bye Jetta DPF.

    Still has the factory cat back exhaust which is smaller and has a muffler, but we will see how it sounds. I'll get a cat back exhaust for it soon, and then if its too "annoying" I will add a resonator. Got everything together tonite. ECM should be back tomorrow morning, I ruined an EGT sensor...

    Question: 8an fittings, what size hose?

    Push lok style fitting s and hose like that are much different to assemble than AN fittings and braided hose. I wouldnt say they are easier but they take less skill and tools. Keep some warm soapy water close by to soften tge hose so the fittings push in. They are a M-fer. Do not use hose...

    Question: 8an fittings, what size hose?

    An fittings are 1/16" . You cannot interchange fittings and hose. You have to use fittings and hose designed for each other. Even the same brand doesnt always interchange through their series.

    Bye Bye Jetta DPF.

    VWs are cheap up front but you either have to like fixing them yourself or have deep pockets. Parts arent cheap and their labor rates are high. I personally like workkng on them thouvh

    Bye Bye Jetta DPF.

    She was getting 45mpg by hand when we first got it. Down to 35mpg now. Its a 6spd manual and she drives over 120 miles a day between jobs and such. The dash must read the tank level and distance traveled because it follows hand calculated averages pretty closely.

    Bye Bye Jetta DPF.

    The deletes for these keep all of the sensors live. Whether or not it would pass I dont know though. Its pretty pricey for.what you get. About $1,400 just for parts tuning and shipping but oh well.

    Bye Bye Jetta DPF.

    Goodies from Rawtek showed up today. Wife's been complaining about bad mileage. CEL was on and said O2 sensors bad. So I figure its time to delete the DPF. The Rawtek stuff is beautiful 304 stainledd but pricey. Another brand was a little cheaper but single piece and 409. Im never selling...

    Throttle Pedal Differences

    From what I can tell the 01-05 are the same. Physically they do look them same and the quick search I did showed the same part numbers for both. LBZ got the full plastic pedal and the newer body style did as well.

    HELP: oil cooler elbow removal

    Could be leaking from the headgasket or turbo as well. Those are the only two things above it that would run down. headgaskets are possible if you havent had them done yet.

    Im still alive.!

    Well I had my first PET scan last week and everything is looking good I guess. They said I was responding to the Chemo very well and they were considering doubling it if it wasnt moving fast enough. Thankfully it was and they are leaving it the same. I like still being able to work for the...

    Farming is hard.

    We still have some old girls too. Heres the nice window in the block of one of our 856's. Blowing corn up the silo at 2800RPM and it made a nice bang. So its split in the shop now probably put a long block in it. Also have the 2390 coming back into the shop to finish with the overhaul on that...

    Trailer Loading Question

    My Buddies 05 was squatting pretty hard with our 262C2 SSL on it. 8,000lb skid steer. half of the problem is that the trailer is too short to get proper weight distribution, you can drive the SSL on or there isn't enough tongue weight and it sways badly above 45. His truck also has the T bars...

    Farming is hard.

    Xerions are badass tractors. They just switched them all to Mercedes motors now. j0PoCjE0zns Most of the Fendts around here, and in fact most sold in the country are used for hauling manure because that is where all of their features are put to use. They are designed the best for road...
