    ^^^yep. Our rules state a pull is over once it goes past the 300' mark so there are no more disqualifications even on a floating finish. So the first time it happened they let it slide and he won. The second time, i think he was DQ'd not sure. After looking at the hitch it was a fairly poor...

    LLY: Crank Balancer Bolt thread pitch?

    ^^^yep use pats method to hold the flywheel or borrow the dealers. Youll need some way to do it. Theyre tight, I believe the torque spec is 225lb-ft or somewhere close. Ive zipped them off with an impact before too. Then it should slip off with some wiggling or the aid of a pry bar. But its a...

    Depends on their organizations insurance. A lot of insurance companies wont cover them for safety reasons.

    TDI Picks On Prius

    VW No longer has automatics. Its either a 5 or 6spd stick or the 6 speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) which is the nicest smoothest shifting trans ive ever been in. Plus theres no torque converter so your always locked in a gear.

    EFILive Help: EFI Live cannot determine ECM Flash Memory Size

    Hey i figured it out tonite. After several failed attempts. For shits and giggles i tried reading it as an LB7. And viola it worked. I thought it was an LLY because when I was under the truck straightpiping it for him i saw the cat and new it was an 04. So I just assumed. But after checking...

    TDI Picks On Prius

    ^^^theyre certainly not the best and have had a lot of electrical issues and timing belt issues. But its what weve got unless you are rich and can get a BMW or Mercedes. My moms 06 hasnt been too bad. The infamous frequent burnt out tailights have been an issue but o well. The only major...

    Has the DMax been dethroned ?

    And if theres more restriction theres probably more heat. The more heat there is in the intake charge the less dense it will be which means less ir can be packed into the cylinders therefore less fuel can be burned and less power is made. Or im completely wrong. What i dont get is that if...

    Has the DMax been dethroned ?

    exactly. Our 470hp 60 series Detroit makes maybe 20-30psi under load. Heck it makes 15psi when engine braking. At the same time ive watched the Kenworth at work with a 550 C15 Twin turbo CAT and a pittsburgh power box make 62psi with a light load.

    Converter bolts

    oops. Ive reused mine 5 times now and one of them is a stock GM bolt cut down some. I guess ill stockpile some new ones. I know they are hard to come by so i would just get them from mike or suncoast or if they direct you to their suppliers.

    The first video is from Union Grove im about halfway through it. I video taped the entire class. Nice group of trucks. Early in the season though so everybody is working out bugs. I had some bad bugs. Turns out my DSP switch wasnt off so it was running a crappy DD tune. So it pulled fuel...
