    Snap On vs. Autel

    At my shop, we work on nearly anything. I've sworn off Volkswagen and we really don't get people asking about other imports. At this point I only have a Snap on Apollo d8 and Forscan. So chances are, this autel is better than what I currently have, at least in general capabilities Sent from my...

    Snap On vs. Autel

    Has anyone switched from snap on scantools to an autel, or possibly used both? I've been using snap on for years. My local napa parts rep left an autel maxisys ultra to demo for 2 weeks. It's their equivalent to a Zues. I'm curious about, definitely going to put it to use Sent from my...

    CP4 Conversion kit

    What did you have to do with the other "tuneless" kits? I have a guy that wants a conversion but has his own cp3, and it looks like I can't get the s&s kit w/o pump Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Brake issue

    I could not find anything wrong, other than baked brake pads. All of them, but fronts were the worst. Attached a pic. I pressure bled all 4 calipers with dot 4. Passenger rear had just a little air but no other calipers had any air come out. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Brake issue

    Tbc gain is supposedly at 5.5. She said the truck never acted like brakes were stuck on but yet it's obvious all 4 were extremely overheated at some point. Wife has a track record of driving like a maniac so I think with all the clues here, all I can do is replace pads and rebleed with dot 4...

    Brake issue

    No codes in abs module. The pads are not worn away much but definitely fried. I won't see the face of them until next week when I replace them. Surprisingly no rotor warping. I took it for a spirited test drive and then checked rotor Temps and they all were good. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using...

    Brake issue

    She claims the brakes functioned perfectly up to this point, so I'm assuming there were no calipers hanging up. But even if there was, all 4 at the same time mustve been? If there was moisture or air, wouldn't it have to be out at the calipers to see enough heat to boil? I did not cycle the...

    Brake issue

    Tuesday I did akebono slotted front rotors, napa silent guard pads front & rear, and all 4 new(reman) calipers on a horse hauler 2018 l5p. Came in with the typical frozen tight pins, at least one in each caliper. The rear rotors are good shape napa premiums. Today he sends his wife to a horse...

    LB7 motor build mainly for towing

    01 thru 16 dmax lifters are just about bullet proof. Clean them up and inspect each one and reuse them. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Did I blow it up?

    Most of the time, even an unclogged crankcase vent system will not flow enough when you break a piston and the rear crank seal will blow. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    If you were to build an LML....

    That's what I was getting at, this style has no rear dowel relief, so depending on the length the dowel was cut to(callies do not come with dowels) it can cause rear mains to be installed crooked. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    If you were to build an LML....

    What rear seal installer do you use? If you use one that does not have a relief in it for the dowel, you can run into problems like you mentioned Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Reliable LML

    There's not many tuned LMLs that haven't had to have head gaskets replaced. Then you yank the heads off to find the pistons have hairline cracks in them..... Doing one up right now. Should have been a quick head gasket job and 2 pistons are starting to crack. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Headgasket question

    The wave stopper design only comes in C, right? That's another big reason most people go with Cs. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Looking for Allison build/install options near Virginia.

    Thanks for the mention, we don't tear into trans at all. Just a converter swap or R&R the entire unit. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    LML Knock and 150 psi

    All 4 valves were bent. Machine shop fixed that up and the 4 thou they took off the surface had them looking pretty good. It's all back together running great. Slid 1 new piston/rings in. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk

    Compression test - dead piston or head gasket issue?

    This is probably the case, in my experience. A bad piston will pretty much always read zero on the compression test and max out the balance rate(-15.00 mm3). Just had one here that made 150 psi, had all 4 valves bent from a piston chunk breaking off. Sent from my SM-G990U2 using Tapatalk
