    Help Needed $1000 to Improve Towing!

    Thanks for the reply Joe. I understand your concern about the exhaust. For the time being it will need to remain stock to to budget limitations as well as my low EGT numbers. In the future I plan to go with an 4" mandrel bent system with muffler delete. Im thinking i may skip the ATS housing and...

    Excursion almost done

    If you are planning to stack 5" blocks with 2.5" blocks, I would go another route. That is alot of block lift. You could consider an add a leaf with the 5" block. This setup would be less likely to fail or cause excessive wheel hop.

    Fix your Overhead Trip Computer

    I recently fixed my overhead. The write up was correct about the resisters. After fixing them, the display turned on. However it soon turned off, the problem was the connection between the female end of the plug and the circuit board. After reconnecting this problem, the display works...

    Question 3.73 vs 3.55

    Im not sure about the exact conversion but, with 3.73 gears and a 35" tire is it similar to a 3.55 and stock tires? I had stock tires and switched to 35" tires and barely noticed a difference in performance.

    preventing rust

    i would sand/grind the area down. Spray on a rust converter and then roll on a coating such as hurculiner or por-15. All of these products can be found at a local auto parts. I use hurculiner on my lower tailgate about the bottom 2". It has lasted very well over the last year.

    How do i convert from 2000 to 2006 grill and bumper?

    Just give the power stroke shop a call and they can explain the kit. You do not need to get each piece individually.

    rant Dealer Wants $98!

    Ok well I guess its the same thing at other dealers as well. It just seemed crazy since it takes less than an hour. I will wait and buy a new programmer when the budget allows.

    rant Dealer Wants $98!

    I called the local dealer to check cost to recalibrate my speedometer for 35" tire and they want $98. Is it just me or is this too high. I told the service manager that I could almost buy a programmer to do it my self for that cost. Anyone else have their trucks programmed for tire size? If so...

    Update Headlight lens restoration

    I recently purchased the 3M kit from autozone for $20. I restored both headlights on a '96 subaru and a '00 Lexus RX300. Turned out really well but it seemed to take forever. I was a little nervous doing my parents cars but they were both very impressed. The kit first sanded all the yellow UV...

    photos Just my opinion on the 4r100

    Is it possible that the shops that sell $3000 transmissions get a good discount on the parts. If they get the parts at cost then $3000 total is realistic.

    How do i convert from 2000 to 2006 grill and bumper?

    The majority of the hardware is included in the kit. Some is reused from your existing front end. Some can also be found at your local auto parts. Its not too difficult.

    Broken Superlift Add-a-Leaf

    I was just thinking it might sit high on that side until the new spring "settles" as they normally do.
