    Suggestions for torx bits

    Bit sockets have to come from a good name brand. They dont have to be american ,plenty of great german and other european tools too but they cannot be something you walk into any "home store" and buy, ruin them every time. Snap-on gold torx are my prefernce and favored by many. The gold are the...

    where is the best place to get a lift?

    Check for a local dealer. Cant see location instantly in tapatalk. We just go through our local lube/service supply house. Its a company that caters to gas and service stations. Local Rotary dealer. We chose the S10i. The inBay feature was well worth the extra $450. Been very happy with this...

    Anything Diesel...Why So Much More???

    Many of the diesel pulling tractors are leaving the line at 6,000rpm however I cant tell you where the peak power is without some more research. Judging by the tone from the sidelines though id say they are making peak power down towards 5kish. Theyre running 200psi+ in the intake manifold...

    LML Loosing prime, white smoke.

    Been battling loosing prime since we got the truck a little over a year ago. Nothing frequent enough to take it in yet though. The other day though it was puking heavy whitish smoke out the tailpipe. It wasn't super dense like burning coolant but it lingered like unburnt fuel. Any body else...

    Is "real" mainstream music dead?

    Stone sours new "dual song" is great I think. I like the 2nd half best. Evans blue, so cold is a other new good one And a sad sad day happened last week. On my birthday our radio station that played primarily 80-90s hits with some 60s,70s and current hits mixed in switched to another top 40...

    Anything Diesel...Why So Much More???

    Was pricing VW Tiguans the other day. Diesel is 3,200 option. While not as true anymore, diesels used to always come with a higher trim level as well on European cars.

    Allison 6sp: LMM C1/C2 Hub questions.

    Guess it was just me being a virgin to the 6 speed. Everything just felt tight, used to the sloppier 5 speeds. Truck is running great for the guy. Did the tech ever call you for help with the relearn at all mike? They said the were able to get it relearned dk of he figured it out on his own...

    EFILive Big update coming this week

    As disgruntled as many people get over the issue. I understand efi lives side too. They're a small "mom n pop" shop when compared to Bosch and GM. One thing I've learned about big companies like them is that they are always watching everything. What people do, what people post online. They...

    Allison 6sp: LMM C1/C2 Hub questions.

    I see they changed the design quite a bit with the pistons and such. Anybody have some specs and such or something that i can verify I have it together correctly. Everything went together tighter than you know what. I know it all usually goes together tight, but this just feels tighter than the...

    Downshifting has always seemed to equal broken parts in my experiences.

    arp-tc to flexplate bolts?

    If you'd choose quality over quantity you'd choose European. I notice you said backordered from Sweden. If that's where mikes are made, they're going to be better than most American companies could do , and affordable with good qc. I know I ramble a lot about European quality, ingenuity and...

    Big thank you

    X100 can't thank him enough for all of the help he's given me through the years regardless of time, day of the week or what he was doing. Not to mention the occasional blunt life lessons and "insider" news.

    Question: Looking to get transmission rebuilt

    Driving 85mph+ also reduces cabin noise. Gets the motor out of the "drone". Plus the added wind noise covers the exhaust noise. Learn this when I went y to see Tim. I think my average speed through Iowa was 85-90 and I still got passed by federalis

    Anything Diesel...Why So Much More???

    Anything Diesel...Why So Much More???

    I have often thought about it and to me the high prices make sense. 1. Look at what it costs to repair the duramax with stock parts. 2. The duramax has only been out since 01. The SBC has been out forever. 3. Diesel is a small market. People just simply don't own them. and most people...

    leaking intercooler best aftermarket option

    How large of a leak? Too big to repair? Do you need/want aftermarket? Used ones can be had cheap. You can always build your own too if your good with a tig. Sent from my Motorola Electrify using Tapatalk 2

    LB7: Cuts out, white smoke, engine limp.

    Maybe I'll swap one out if my truck into it. Just seemed odd it would still go through rpm range fine or is that unrelated? Guess it wont hurt to try. Kinda aggravating. Our 03 farm truck was doing this too. Wouldn't command over 5500. Reflashed it and it was fixed until I hauled a skid steer...
