    Early '99 Exhaust ... Need Help ASAP

    I put a summit dp on my early, it is a nice fit and you will need a friend to help you...one to hold the pipe in place so it doesn't touch anything and one to tighten the vband. Then I bought a few feet of straight 4" and a buddy's old 4" Cummins tailpipe and I made a side-exit in front of the...

    Anti-drainback in tranny and front pump

    I notice when I start my truck up after a day of sitting, it takes a little while to build up pressure to back out of the parking spot. I am going to be replacing the tc and vb this week and I am wondering if the the anti-drainback valve is something I can check/service while I have the vb out...

    Replacing front and rear seals in tranny while it's out?

    I will be installing a FTVB, FTTC, bypass filter, tru-cool cooler, and new filter screen and I have a few questions. 1. Can I replace the front input shaft seal and rear driveshaft seal while I am taking the tranny down? 2. Can I replace the rear main seal while I've got the tranny out just...

    Shudder at speed?

    I flushed the fluid 17k ago, but that is just handicapping the problem and the truck has 207k on it, I am pretty sure that the tc is going to go and I don't want it to wipe put the rest of the tranny in the process. Jesse

    When upgrading my converter...

    The tc was shuddering pretty bad today and I think I am going to need to do this within a month, will I be ok if I install a new tc, bypass filter and in-tranny screen, gauge, and flush the tranny (or should I do this before I install the new tc?) Parts list: Enough Mercon III/Dexron Suncoast...

    Shudder at speed?

    Definitely thinking it's tc...can feel it once tc locks up and it was much worse today...need to get on with the repairs soon, now if I can just get straight answers on what I need to do...Replace the tc, put on a bypass filter as well as replace the screen, install gauge, flush the fluid (or...

    Shudder at speed?

    Did not know that but I will pass it on...thanks! Jesse

    Shudder at speed?

    The latter is what I am thinking. Tranny fluid is still red, but smells iffy (not burnt, just iffy). Also, when I put it in gear and let off the brake with no throttle pressure, it doesn't seem to want to move like it did before. I think I am just noticing too much stuff because I'm paranoid...

    Shudder at speed?

    I installed some 33" BFG All-terrains (used) that were already mounted and balanced and took it for a test drive and it seemed to have a shudder...not at a constant pace. One would think that this is caused from tire imbalance, except for the fact that this is almost the same shudder that I get...

    When upgrading my converter...

    The whole reason I was wanting to do the tc, filter, and gauge was to prevent and watch for tc failure. The reason I wanted to switch the vb is to make the tranny slip less and prolong the life of the existing tranny. Is this feasible? Jesse

    When upgrading my converter...

    So what should I do, take the tranny into a shop and have them look it over and see if it needs freshening? Is this an easy tranny to rebuild if I buy the kit? About how much are we looking at? So not only a tc, gauge, filter, front pump, and vb but now we are also looking at rebuilding the...

    When upgrading my converter...

    I'm also getting a little drainback from my torque converter after it sits for a little while...Is the valve in the tc or will I need to replace that as well while I'm in there? Jesse

    When upgrading my converter...

    Hmm, tell me more...same quality with a warranty? Keep in mind, I won't be doing any crazy pulling, looking more for longevity and reliabilty when pulling a car trailer. Jesse

    When upgrading my converter...

    Are they easy to install or will it require special tools or a tranny wiz? Jesse

    When upgrading my converter...

    I am upgrading to an ATS converter, trans temp gauge, and possibly a valvebody and was wondering if there is anything else I need to do to the tranny while I am under there. What valvebody is recommended for a daily driven truck also used as a car hauler to the track? Spirited driving and...

    Surging part-throttle

    Hmm, the oil is actually about a quart over full, does that matter? Jesse

    What and where is the IPR valve? Jesse

    Surging part-throttle

    My truck acts like I am blipping the gas when I'm driving about 15-20 mph with the pedal just past idle and it almost feels like I am randomly bobbing my foot. Does the 7.3 have some sort of throttle position sensor? What could it be? I just replaced the fuel filter. Jesse

    Gauge mounts, Lets see em

    I have egt, tranny, and boost shoved into the little cubby to the right of the steering wheel of the trailer brakes. They fit perfectly and with barely any gaps.:) Jesse

    Several "problems?"

    hmm, might have to trace the fuel system down then. Think that's the ticking noise and not a valvetrain noise? Have there been any longevity problems out of the 7.3 valvetrain? Jesse
