    Hell from SoCal

    I disagree. It all depends on the oil temperature and load on the engine. Ideally, higher oil temperature and heavy engine load on the oil decrease the oil lubricity properties over time than normal driving.

    Bully Truck accessories….not a fan

    It's polished aluminum. All polished aluminum will corrode when it comes to winter salt. You need real chrome. That can be polished off with a buffer and rubbing compound. That's why I do not buy anything that is polished, it requires you to polish it more often to keep the mirror finish...

    Rare part or Moog pitman arm?

    Looking for if anyone has tried the Rare parts pitman arm. I have the Moog pitman arm #k6654. I just found out that Moog just made a new style which seems to be for the HD application, #K6654HD and it is more that what I paid for mine. I'm assuming the quality is better on the new design? Anyone...

    Paint delamination

    I can't stand it right now, it looks like shit! It picked the wrong time to peel. I got other things to fix on my truck but can't afford to at the moment. It's hard to support a family of 4 while the wife isn't working and taking care of my 2 kids.

    Paint delamination

    Then why is it only peeling fast when it's cold but not warm?

    Paint delamination

    Has any of you have issues with factory paint delamination? Ever since I moved back to MA, the first winter it has been through in below 30 degrees made my paint bubble up and separated from the factory primer. Over the summer it barely peeled off and now the weather is back in the 30's and...

    LML Runs but no start P0087

    That is on a LMM, he is talking about a LML. Try replacing the filter and see if you can get it primed.

    Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value, or any hardware store has them. Even most automotive parts store such as Autozone has them.

    Home built fuel system

    The holley black lasted me 2 and half years. Now it's replaced with a PPE pump which they have corrected their issues. Works great.

    Yellow antifreeze

    I run CAT ELC in mine. At least I know it's better than the Dexcool and it was cheaper for me to get them in a 5 gal bucket than it was to get Dexcool at walmart.

    LLY: Billet 68 Fleece Cheetah

    Brian..... It depends on what the end play spec is. If it's more than what the turbo spec calls for, it's not good.

    Any "pro tips" for stripping waxy crap off the frame

    POR15 is good but it doesn't last as long as you would think. I've seen quite a few POR15 frames starting to rust after 3 years. Bedliner IMO is much better than POR15. My brother works at a powdercoating company and he's done a few POR15 frames, he mentioned some already are rusting out due to...

    Rust is a nightmare, help!

    The problem is not just the powder coating prep. Once the powder coat paint has a chip from rocks or whatever hits it, rust will start there and get underneath the paint. I rather use bed liner when it comes to where salt is used on the roads in the north. It's tougher than powder coat because...

    Need stock 05 & 06 LLY tune

    I need a stock 05 LLY tune. Also need a 06 LLY for my truck as well. Also when using the tune in the vehicle, what else needs to be changed besides the VIN for the vehicle so it matches up? Thanks!

    Massachusetts lift laws suck!

    Massachusetts lift laws suck!

    Ever since I've moved from AZ, I've been having a hard time to get my truck inspected because of my lift. I've seen a few dmaxs around with the same amount lift as I have and a fresh inspection sticker. Where are you guys getting yours passed?!?! All the local inspection stations won't pass me...

    Rough idle when cold

    I compared various tunes to the one I made and they're not much off. So I lowered the timing tables a bit at the idle part. Loaded the new tune in the truck and monitored the conditions. Rpm bounce from 640 to 720, timing was at 6.5 (I looked at the table where I made the changes which is on "B"...
