2002 FE9
I’m still doing little things here and there. I finally got off my ass to see what was up with the ihi inlet. Oh hell! Gasket was installed wrong and then cut? I cleaned it and flattened the surface a little and then installed a new gasket. I added a little hi temp rtv on each side of the...- N2BRK

01-10 steering box redhead ,PSC ,OEM
FWIW it seems like these places were of highest quality when they were just starting off and not so big/busy. That's why I went to Minh Worx, and I am super happy. One guy with a small business. It wasn't the cheapest nor the fastest, but I am confident that I got a superior product that I...- N2BRK

I grabbed some adjustable 1” or 2” drop shackles and slapped them in a few mins ago. I set them to 2” and I was amazed at the amount of drop. I took it for a spin and it drives and feels great. I might leave it right here! The new bed is beautiful and rust free, but needs to be resprayed to...- N2BRK

Trailer Brake Controller
I used that Tekonsha adapter and bought a Redarc unit. It's completely out of the way and works great. Installed in minutes with that adapter. -
Some help for a local
I asked him that more than once. He said there were two of them and they made 100% sure to put them on correctly… but I’m not 100% convinced 🤣 -

I was working on the truck today at my buddy’s lift. Truetrac is in :) I changed fluids and picked up some old parts I’d left behind from last spring. I never looked at my old cam, but WHOA BABY did I see it today!!! I’m glad that I upgraded to a keyed cam and pinned the crank.- N2BRK

Some help for a local
Update this AM: No sadly I can’t figure out what going on with it. I drained a little oil from the plug and I seems normal. I pulled the passenger side valve cover and it’s the same milky like film on the top of it definitely coolant leaking some how into it. None of the cups look lifted at all... -
Some help for a local
I sold my old lb7 heads for peanuts on facenuts to a really nice kid about 1-1/2hrs away. He just sent me this: “…I had the heads resurfaced cleaned , vacuum/pressure tested and new injector cup o rings all done by a local engine shop. I reinstalled everything with new gaskets,studs, injectors... -

I meant tempted to get it on a rack and redo to add caster to pass side. Now that I think about it… it can’t be maxed - it must be minimized. So I could dial up more on a realignment. Hmm. Brain fart.- N2BRK

That was my thought. I’d love to add more passenger for the desired split. Pass Adjuster looks maxed though. So I’ll run it and see.- N2BRK

Me neither, but I’ll look into it :) Shippo has been great though. OB DMAX Content: looks like I turned the bars down a little much to use the Kryptonite UCAs. I can’t get the driver’s side caster down below 5.1 degrees. So my alignment has no caster split when I picked the truck up today...- N2BRK

Shipping should be a little easier now. I turned him on to a free account at Shippo. It was 1/2 the cost to return my core, compared to full price at the UPS store when he sent. Ouch. lol In the last two days, I drove 3 different dmaxes, and WOW did it feel good to be back in my rig :) What a...- N2BRK

Nothing overly exciting of late. Knocked a few more things off the list though! Torsion bar bushings, lower control arm Bushings, and the fender liner is back in the front passenger side, thanks to a friend and a heat gun. lol SS brake hoses installed up front too. She’s sitting at the...- N2BRK

Edge CTS 2 vs CTS 3
I'm digging this one back up... I have the opportunity to sell my 2 and get a 3 for a small cost differential. Have they updated the 3 to where it is as reliable as the 2, or hold on to what I have? TNX- N2BRK

Accelerator replacement
It did. I think some of it is the nature of the beast; first Gen fly by wire. But my old pedal was super sensitive and this pedal is much easier to hold steady over road bumps. 200k newer I guess. lol. I think I also found the source of my serp belt issue too. The cooling fan pulley has some... -

If you’re near southern NJ, I have a breaker tool I built, and a crank pinning kit you can borrow too. -
