    New turbo

    Well my turbo has been making more noise since our last trip towing the TT in mid December. It got worse last week. So I pulled the intake tube to check for play. I'm pretty sure I should not be able to pull/push the shaft in and out this much. SO, on the way from ITP is a new GTP38R BB turbo...

    Welding project

    A couple of weeks ago the finance board (wife) approved the purchase of a mig welder. I have played around some trying to get the hang of it, but have not really built anything. Today I purchased some materials and got busy on an overdue project. It was a lot of fun. What do you think...

    Need help deciding

    I am trying to pick out my father's day present. I am going to get some new speakers for the truck and have decided on Infinity components for the front doors. I am looking at the 6810cs and the updated 6820cs and the only difference I notice is the 6820 is 2 ohm. Would this be a problem with...

    Accident averted and lesson learned (LONG)

    I purchased 4 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's in 2005 and about 25,000 miles ago. They have been pretty good tires thus far, but two have worn more that the others. I keep them at 60-65 psi usually and rotate pretty much on schedule. Today I decided it would be good to bump the pressure up in prep...

    Trans cooler install

    My trans has run on the warmer side of normal since I've owned it, but never an issue. We recently bought a travel trailer and while towing in the Texas hill country (not very big hills) w/ ambient temps around 80*, my trans hit 200-205*. This prompted action. I ordered a Tru-cool trans cooler...

    Wicked Wheel and EBPV delete DONE!!!

    Tonight I installed a "Wicked Wheel" and removed my Exhaust Back Pressure Valve. I had an oil leak from the EBPV so since the turbo had to be pulled I went on an did the WW. I never had "Turbo Surge" until pulling my TT last week, so hopefully the WW will fix that. Pulling the TT also lead to...

    PIE for XM

    Ok so I got the XM MyFI for X-mas and am really digging it. I was just wondering how much better the sound will be with a PIE versus the FM modulator that is built in. Keep in mind that this is currently going though a stock head unit and speakers. Is it worth it for the PIE/Aux input????
