    '02 fuel pump pumping air bubbles

    Yes to this post. This will solve so many problems and you will be happy with the results. The biggest result is how much quieter the engine is after the Hutch Mod.

    wrapping up pipes and turbo

    The best thing you can do for faster turbo spooling is a straight through muffler and a 4" exhaust pipe. Lowers exhaust temps as well.

    Help Needed Problem with front locking hubs

    K&N Filter

    This is probably from not getting enough air. It will run rich with little air and too much air will run lean. Jim

    Ball joint replacement question

    I had mine done last summer for about $720 for both sides at a local front end shop. They used Moog parts. I did my own anti sway or roll bars for $140. About 45 min. Moogs as well. Jim

    GPR Bypass switch

    The glow plugs draw a great deal of current and a by-pass switch would have to be huge to handle the current. That is why there is a relay there. Jim
