    Valve Adjustment??

    I lied... I looked at the pictures i took and they are solid rollers. Don't crucify me, this is the first DMAX build i have done. Sorry man.

    Valve Adjustment??

    IMHO, i would say no. They are hydraulic rollers, unless i screwed up the original adjustment at build time and they aren't makin' any noise, they are good. You can change characteristics a little with a tighter set up and a looser set up, but at what cost/benefit?

    T/H or Not?

    It takes 4-6 good hard long pulls (0-80 mph) and it comes around for me. Kat and i discussed this a few months ago and she said it takes her TCM about 5 passes for her's to come around. Just beat it like a $2 ho and then switch off T/H.:rofl:

    Blues Replacement

    The only thing scarier than the new price is trying to sell one a few years later, MASSIVE depreciation. Although you can sometimes finance them like a 2nd house with low interest rates to off set the loss later down the road.:eek:

    New tranny install

    "The very first day we got in the truck took it for a spin overdrive slipped" IMHO, it was a rebuilt ALLY probably still learning, as well... it's an ALLY. I never know what mine is gonna do!! The TCM is constantly making adjustments, looking for the perfect 7/10th +/- second shift. I don't...

    Any good gas mechanics on here?

    glad your pumped man! In a meek voice i must say i hope it's right. In that we/he never saw or heard the car. This is based on what was said and what he has seen come through the shop. Not coppin' out... just hope it fixes it otherwise I look like a turd. My fingers are crossed, good luck!

    guages in the cowl, 2 5/8" guages

    We looked at "HUD" heads up display... dude (respectfully) very serious money... VERY trick though. As well there was concern regarding the angle of the windshield, apparently it's relevant to function of the HUD. Agreed, that would be the sh*t. This is gonna be trick, a casual passer-by...

    Easier trans removal

    IMHO, the trans isn't to bad if you have a lift. The motor is a "no easy way about it" deal.

    Easier trans removal

    Here's the picture, should be worth a million...words. This is the easiest way i/we found to remove those converter bolts. Again, remove the fan, perhaps even the plastic shield thingy on the bottom, under the radiator hoses in the picture i have attached. The light location is important...

    Any good gas mechanics on here?

    My brother is a 22 year mechanic, knows his stuff, runs his own shop. Works on everything from diesels to hondas. He can't reply (not a member), but he says replace the crank shaft position sensor on the back of the motor, it's tough to get to. This may also require you to buy a coil pack. He...

    Easier trans removal

    I bled for sure... it took me 40 minutes to get the starter out and a lump on my head from the exhaust that was in the way. I'll send pictures for sure, from the work computer. I can reduce them on my laptop, and add arrows otherwise they are 3-4 meg files.

    Help!!! Fixing to have a blaze in my driveway

    I think it gets reamed out so it moves/slides freely. Apparently, really i don't know for sure, it get's hung up and sticks. I haven't popped one open yet, but i used to use a pick, CAREFULLY, and slide them (pistons/valves) prior to buttoning up the VB to make sure i didn't miss anything or...
