    smell that?

    I had the same problem, except mine was actually leaking down the back of the engine. I took the fuel canister out, replaced the Orings on the drain of the fuel canister and I replaced the two blue hoses. No more smell or leak !!! Good luck! RoReRi...

    94 chip install

    Call Dale at Tymar Performance he is a straight shooter and will not steer you wrong. He doesn't have a web site to speak of, so just tell him what you have and are interested in and he'll tell you what he has. I got my downpipe and intake from him about 2 years ago, still working fine, and...

    Whoooo Wheeeee !!!!!

    The transmission shifts MUCH better now, don't know about the pressure though. Don't have any gauges yet, they are next to come. The new has just about worn off the PCM, so I'm not doggin' it much anymore. I had a fuel leak, and replaced the lift pump and hoses, no leaks now. With the...

    Whoooo Wheeeee !!!!!

    I really don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that I just ate one of these last night. Sucked him up in my intake and spit him out my exaust. Don't know if he was just so supprised that I passed him like I did and didn't do 100% or I just spanked him!!! This was from a...

    I just received my updated PCM from DP-Tuner. Let me say that I am one HAPPY customer. That man knows how to make a diesel wake up and come to attention!!! I called and talked to them several times trying to make up my mind between a chip or programmer. They said I wouldn’t be satisfied...

    Leaking Fuel

    I've done mine, with out removing the turbo. Its just that the Banjo bolt is one of those 45 minute bolts. Also it helps to have grease and diesel fuel on your hands so they can slide around so you can start the banjo bolt. I think Baz has a write up on his site on how to do it step by step...

    Early morning transmission issues....

    I have noticed the last couple of mornings that I drove my truck, the transmission acted like it didn’t want to go. I put it in drive, and waited for the familiar grab, but it didn’t happen as soon as before. It waited several more seconds, and then after that it was OK. It was a cool morning...

    Fix your Overhead Trip Computer

    Very good write up!!! The burn mark you are talking about, is the result of the manufacturing process taking the "air" out of the readout. In other words its a "getter" heated up to the point of burning. The process of burning eats the oxygen up and creates a vacume, hence the burn mark. If...

    Brake light on

    Funny you should start this thread... My dash light that says the E brake is engaged, stays on first thing in the morning when its cold outside. As I drive it the light dims to just about out and comes back on. It does it for about 5 minutes or so until things "warm up". Then the rest of the...

    Verrry Verrrry important... I was stranded with a bad CPS and only got out that I was broke down... Then it died... I did have a 115volt charger, but nothing to plug into. Lucky me, I walked down the road and found a subdivision lighted sign that had an outlet to plug it into. Now talk about...

    Rim width and tire size questions

    Ok, I have a problem with tire size and rim width. This thread has prompted me to ask questions :o :o I was "talked" into purchasing 285/75-16 Tires from Tire Kingdom about a year or so ago. Well after driving on them at the recommended tire pressure, I found that stopping on wet pavement was...

    tire size 97 f-250 4x4

    I put 285's on the factory rims, but have had issues. It seems that the 285's are for 8.5 inch to 10 inch rims (width). The factory rims are 8 inch wide. The problem I am having is that I have to lower the air pressure from the recomended to about 30 lbs. This keeps them flat on the road...

    cheap fuel tanks

    Its kind of hard to explain, as I know little of exactly WHAT it is, more of what it does and etc. To get a look see for your self, put a piece of flat steel in a jar of WVO with half of the steel out of the WVO. Ever once a day or so, shake the jar so the WVO splashes up on the whole piece of...

    Checking/Testing injectors...

    Yea...They looked like they had a thick brown uneven condom on the tips. I think maybe one hole squirted the juice... RoReRi... BTW see the vegistroke site.:thumbs No one person, more honest and upright than Jason that I know. In my opinion, if Jason don't know it, then it doesn't need to...

    Checking/Testing injectors...

    Hi, all Since I coked my old injectors up with WVO, by not purging like I should... I'm doing much better now taking care of my new set of Stage 1s. But have a question on checking for coking... Is there any one injector I could take out for a look-see that would give me an overall idea...
