    Wtf??

    Strange things are happening. Here's what happened. Backing in to a friends carport the idle started to get rough and had tons of white smoke. Got out of the truck and could smell raw fuel and it was bad. I'm thinking I've got a bad injector. Only 265,000 on the original injectors. It sat for a...

    Exhaust leak

    I started the truck up a couple days ago and noticed that the engine noise was a bit louder than usual. The idle was also a little rough and it stumbled a bit starting out. On inspection I did notice a little black soot below the collar on the up pipe on the drivers side. Looks like I'm in for a...

    Rear brake help

    Trying to replace pads and rotors on rear but I cannot remove the rotor. I thought they slipped of just like the fronts. I've used a big mallet and pry bar and so far it won't budge. Am I missing something?

    Fuel leak

    I've been smelling a light odor of diesel fuel for a few days and couldn't find it. I finally found a small amount of fuel around the line going into the head just behind the alt. Is there an o ring in this connection or is it just a compression type fitting. I've never messed with the fuel...

    No smilies

    New sounds from the turbo

    After installing the tuner and intake I notice that occasionally the turbo makes a strange sound after the tranny shifts to OD. It sounds like air brakes releasing. At first I didn't think it was anything to worry about and I didn't notice it before with the stock intake. Is this a normal sound...
