    6 speed Allison won't lockup

    That's one reason I don't mess with transmissions, I leave it to someone who knows what they're doing.

    Air Dog II 165 issues

    Sounds like maybe two different issues. The AD 165 is a flow through pump so truck should run/idle OK without pump running. I would try jumping 12V straight to the pump and see if it runs better, that way you can eliminate the pump solenoid and wiring. The lopey idle sounds like maybe the...

    Edge EGT Pyro Gone AGAIN ?!

    Sounds like BS to me. I'm not familiar with Edge probes but a thermocouple doesn't use electrical ground for anything, there should only be two wires for the TC junction and they are isolated from ground.

    LLY COOLing mods

    Downpipe won't buy you much, maybe 50 degrees off EGTs, but everything helps. CAI helps, trans cooler helps (takes some of the load off the radiator), cleaning the cooling stack helps.

    Need a good shop in so. Cal.

    Call Mike at Inglewood Transmission, he will point you in the right direction.....

    Edge EGT Pyro Gone AGAIN ?!

    There are generally only two NPT thread sizes used for probes in exhaust manifolds, 1/8"-27 NPT or 1/4"-18 NPT. Odds are good that you can find a better probe that will fit what you have. If yours is 1/4" you can get a reducer to fit a 1/8". It's easy to enlarge and retap if it's too small.

    Edge EGT Pyro Gone AGAIN ?!

    My ISSPRO analog EGT gauge has been working flawlessly since I installed it 4 years ago. It is always on, always right there at eye level. I live by it when I'm towing, especially in the mountains. Hard to understand how a simple K type thermocouple can be prone to failure, but I guess Edge...

    LLY: After Head Gasket Questions

    Thanks for the followup. Were you able to clean up the tool marks on the head surfaces without removing too much metal??

    LLY mods for LBZ airbox?

    I bored a bunch of 1 1/2" holes in the air intake side of my LLY airbox, it seems to like that and I've been running it that way for 4 years now.

    glowshift gauges

    I installed ISSPROs about 4 years ago and haven't any issues. You get what you pay for, Glowshift has always had a bad rep.

    Lift pump?

    The install kit should contain two double barbed connectors so you can cut the excess hose out and couple it back together. AD is not difficult to install, just make sure you have good tools to disconnect the fuel fittings, cheap ones are not worth it here. I took my time installing mine and...

    New Diesel Fanatic Need's Help

    If you have the trans done, have the pump rub issue fixed at the same time. Also, it's a great time to replace the downpipe if you're gonna do that. You should plan on havin' $4K and change in your piggy bank. Don't know about other shops, but Mike will have you in and out in a day,two at...

    Trying to get a smoother ride

    Are you running the silver Bilsteins or the yellow ones? Silver ones are smoother. Also check your bump stops (jounce bumpers), they should be just touching the lower "A" arms. 35 psi should float like a butterfly. I run 65 frt and 70 rear, rides nice and smooth....

    How the National Anthem should Be Done Everytime

    Agree. Unlike a certain president who used to turn his back whenever he heard the National Anthem or Pledge of Allegiance, these folks know what it means. Many paid the ultimate price to protect the freedom to honor our flag. So sad that it's being banned at schools and public places! Thanks...

    Lathe questions, any machinists insight needed

    What are you going to use it for? Big stuff? Long stuff? Precision stuff? Threading stuff? Making tapered stuff? Many options, many prices. You get what you pay for. The "hobby latehs " can be good for just making simple things and can do a decent job if you know their limitations. If I...

    Uhmmmm.... does it run and drive? Looks like Lomita is about 30 miles from Fullerton.
