    June '24 Chat -- June bugs or Cicadas?

    The A coil had been repaired a decade back, so I planned to replace it when we moved the compressor this spring. The tech I hired to move did a 400lb nitrogen test on it and went over the A coil with soapy water and found nothing. So we vacuumed it down and held it 30-40 minutes before charge...

    June '24 Chat -- June bugs or Cicadas?

    My AC has leaked off 24lbs of freon since March. Haven't been able to locate the leak with sniffer or dye. I'm down to thinking the neighbor's filling cans when I'm away... lol [emoji38] Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Seen a bunch of weird stuff in a rear diff before, but that's a first for me.. Had a few spider gear pin bolts break or back out, but never all the ring gear bolts.. Had one spider pin fall out in 8.8 Bronco while i was pulling away from a stop sign. It stopped abruptly. I knew what it was...

    T87 Swaps

    To celebrate those pioneers who came before, I purposely bricked a brand new out of the bag HPT unlocked T87A today. It looks recoverable, just not with EFIlive. And not sure my MDI is still functional.. Was attempting to hot swap OS versions as done on the T87, and powered it down between...

    Last couple off bead either inflates I pulled were full youtube level exhibitionist. H1 Hummer with bad auto inflation valve in a hotel parking lot beside a 100K Mercedes. Took three attempts to get it stuck. The one before that was totally gangster. A 15 inch trailer tire on the ground at...

    Can have ya one next Tuesday, but unfortunately it won't fix your problem. It will look and smell brand new however.. ☺️ We are closer than yesterday.. Fix two problems, ya find a third. On the code side it's down to some safeties and error detection algos to protect the injectors. Currently...

    Wrapping up some tweaks to the code on the evaluation board this morning. Seems to be tracking all crank signal pulses, injector pulses, and sending those back out at the correct 90deg offset, along with our boost enable triggers spot on. So far on a pilot / main only it's within 1% on a 71us...

    Speaking of Grand Nationals, I snapped a photo of this local one owner the other day. Also know a guy who raised the value on those a bit back in the early days. He personally sent two to crushers the summer of 87. Hopefully someone spared the tags.. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    I've seen some high dollar restorations built around a matching block #.. Tell him drop that LS in it now and save current block for the guy who wants to restore it in a another 20yrs.. I literally just saw a missing matching block knock 100k off an appraisal... [emoji57] Sent from my...

    Apologies, been out on the road last few days. Spent a couple days with some LS swap gurus, and a world class tuner. Great time, besides my brain hurts now. I learned that I may as well learn HPT and get it over with.. I believe I can get the LLY ECM hotwired enough to see if will come alive...

    Found a specimen to operate on today. As luck would have it this 2012 model owner has already relocated his TCM.. Here's the best spot I could find this little b ox would fit. Thoughts?? Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    What makes a Ford engine tick

    I've already torn into a couple 6.7L, not by choice.. Seen one with 4 Injector hold downs snapped off a 2012. Seems that might have something to do with injectors flying out.. Overall I really like the reverse flow heads, and a quick turbo change and tune puts you well over 600HP at the rear...

    I heard some of the BBC boat guys running AFR were seeing issues with the valve guide being to tight for sustained high RPM straight outs the box a while back. Besides that I've only heard good things about em since I stopped playing with gasoline. TrickFlow was hot on the Fords back then...

    I can today show ya an assembled SBC I did in early 90's in with serial # set 003 of AFR heads on it. I was also the first person to drop a valve in one and sent them back for repair the following week. Once they explained why ya couldn't spin a 1990 factory roller cam 7500R's, they've been fine...

    Back in the early 90's I attempted to push 800hp thru a 700R4 in a 3rd gen. Working with an experienced transmission guy at the time, we could get em to hold 600 fine, but ya only got 3 or 4 good hits with the spray before 3rd would just vanish. As we discovered and someone later resolved...
