    She did not wanna start this AM

    How cold was it? Mine starts right away at 50 or so. I would guess in Texas it was not much colder than that?? Also, if the GPR came back it should not have smoked much. Did it run normal or knock a bit? I suspect your fuel pump may be going bad and took awhile to build pressure or you may...

    EBPV Actuator question Help quick please!!

    Yeah, I bought a seal kit and the new piston was clearly much better than waht was in there. Also, the kit has an updated seal around the shaft so it should be much better now. It is back together and seems to be good. Thanks and welcome to the site.

    EBPV Actuator question Help quick please!!

    I have the turbo out and I took the EBPV Actuator apart in the turbo pedestal to see if it is leaking. I am not terribly impressed with the seals in there but it looks like it does not matter if it leaks a bit because the oil just runs back down the return. My piston seal is pretty hard and...

    Turbo removal

    I have some of that PB but only use it as a last resort since it smells horrible. I start with SeaFoam or WD-40 and those have worked everytime so far.

    Turbo removal

    I sprayed it down and it came off with some taps. I know about the slots but I could not get anything in there to pry them out with. Anyway, it is out now. Thanks.

    Turbo removal

    I am removing the turbo in search of an oil leak and I have everything off or loose but I cannot get the incoming exhaust clamp to let go, any tricks? I just pried the one on the output off with a screwdriver.

    Oil Leak near Turbo

    Which o-rings? The pedestal o-rings? I just drove it a short trip to make sure the air pipe was on good and when I got back there was oil on the front of the top boot I had just cleaned. I don't know how it managed to get there. I am starting to suspect the seals where the turbo pedestal...

    Oil Leak near Turbo

    Now that I look at it closer it appears to be leaking from a ~3/16" tube going into the back of the head on the passenger side. Is this the HP Oil feed? How do I fix it? It is spraying back so I do not think it is an o-ring in the head. Looks like the tube is leaking.

    Oil Leak near Turbo

    I have been loosing oil every oil change and this time the whole bottom of the tranny and the back of the engine is covered. I thought it was the turbo pedestal seal but I cannot see any oil leaking out around the pedestal. I cannot see the very back side of the turbo on the exhaust side...

    Diesel $1.10 more then RUG

    I do not blame them for exporting it. I am glad to see us actually export something but I cannot believe that they have a ligitimate supply problem. I think they are holding back on production to make as much money as they can. I don't have a problem wiith profits but the billions per quarter...

    Servicing Automatic Hubs

    I took one of mine apart because I heard a noise when spinning the wheel. They are not very complicated and a lubricated with grease. That was what was in there so that is what I used.

    Video frame capture help needed

    Firewire is definately better but USB 2.0 can work, kind of.

    Video frame capture help needed

    Didn't your camera come with the software? I have a JVC and it came with it. It is not very good though, crashes easily but all of that video capture software I have seen has that problem. There are quite a few progams for that out there but I have only had experience with two and would not...

    Tugger Questions

    Yeah, it says 4R100-HD2 Tugger. The retainers I am talking about look like 1/2" square plates with a slot in them. You reuse the ones in the transmission. I just do not see what hold them in. One looks like it is tapered, I thought maybe they wedged in and belt the slot closed otherwise it...

    Tugger Questions

    So there is no trick to those flat plate retainers? I have never seen them before. I hope to do a write up for the Wiki when I am done.

    Tugger Questions

    I am planning on installing the Tugger kit soon and I have a few questions. I noticed in the directions that there are two types of valve bodies that require different drilling, will my 2000 be the one the requires a lot of holes or just a few? What holes sizes do you all recommend for the...

    Intake Box

    I don't think you want to do that, the exhaust is very hot in that area and would not last long. Also, it would need the flange on the end and that would be hard to do. Unfortunetely the downpipes are about 1/3 the cost of a system so you might as well buy a system in my opinion.

    Front Crankshaft Oil Seal?

    Are you sure it is oil and not diesel? The drain for the fuel filter is on the right side of the timing cover and could run down there. Otherwise, I would expect either the front crankshaft seal or the front of the oil pan gasket.

    Transgo Kits

    Does anyone know the difference between this: Tugger and this: Non-tugger I am suspecting the non-tugger is just valve body mods and no pump mods, is that correct? Would it work since I do not plan on doing the pump mods anyway. I asked this on another site and got good answers...

    Door Controls going out

    The window is from the drivers side controls and I think it has done it from the passenger side controls also. The locks are from the drivers side and the remote. I am thinking it may be coincidence and I need lock actuators and a window relay.

    Door Controls going out

    My passenger side door has been acting up. First the locks were taking a few hit to unlock and now the window is intermittant. Is this just coincidence or could I have a ground going bad or something?

    Velvet Ride Shackles

    I have them and I did not notice much of a difference. I do not think I would buy them again if I had it to do over.

    Check your Engine Cover Mounts.

    I had the same problem with rust, bolt snapped off. I painted it up and put in stainless bolts now it is all pretty. Luckily I have never been ground that bad by a wire wheel, just a little on the fingers but I have had the part tear me up as it was ripped from my hands and thrown across the...

    Shudder during braking

    Yeah the rotors needed to be turned, supposedly glazed. Must have been on the inside because the outside looked fine. I do not believe in the torqueing theory but I still torque in 3 stages in a star pattern just in case. Now I am concerned about the front again. Took it out for a test with...

    Shudder during braking

    Yes, I took it too the dealer and it turned out to be the back brakes. I feel like an idiot, I never considered the possibility of it being the rear brakes so it cost me $335 for the dealer brake job.
