Rear Main Seal
Your not kidding be careful, I started not to say anything but I had a screw driver mishap and it scratched the crank. Talk about soft metal, thats why I am having to do it again. I thought it would be alright. Its not bad, if I werent replacing the trans I wouldnt even worry about it.

Old Timers
Yes age of membership. Little story how I found this site, I was on the CF and was replacing my clutch when Michael chimed in and got me on my way with South Bend Clutch. He then mentioned this site. It was slow I mean not very many folks on here, but everyone was polite and courteous. Hey back in the day, and I am sure it still goes on but you would have down right knock down drag outs on some of the other forums. Tough crowds. It was not long afterward and I was in the hospital with two mini strokes back to back. Bored out of my mind I told the wife to bring my laptop. And I was on this site all hours of the day and night, and the folks on here were just like talking to an old friend. And it still is, I been doing other things lately but I am hanging out in the back ground. By the way how do you change your vehicle profile, I have change a few things and need to update.

2015 Wont Start
He was about to call tow truck. Hell I thought a relay was keeping it from starting. No click, I mean nothing. But when it started it fired right off. Thanks

2015 Wont Start
Trying to get this truck to start after complete draw down. He left something on in his horse trailer which killed the batterys, not even a hint of a light. I hooked jumpers up and its been charging for 30 min. The light under the hood comes on but when you try to start nothing.

This thing mounts under the hood? I had 2 edge ez that didnt last 6 - 8 months each due to corrosion. Edge warranted them and I sold the new one after I received it. I am sold on the EGT 's being low and the cool down time.

To Go With A Smarty Or Not
WOW I just spent a hour reading about this Quadzilla. I am not spending that kinda time trying to tune anything. Time to put the 50's in it and go.

To Go With A Smarty Or Not
I have been running stock since I damaged my original motor a few years ago. I have not kept up with the latest trends. I run around with a lot of weight as a welding truck, 10k the last time I checked. I am putting my 50hp injectors in this motor soon. I almost want to stay with just inj. but I dont know whats out there, I have read some on the smarty. I do pull heavy sometimes, 20-28k. Any info would be great, Thanks

NV 4500

NV 4500
Its been jumping out of 5th for about two years now so I guess I got all the good out of it. lol Any good trans places out there? I found Allstate Gear here in San Antonio but 1700.00 seems a little much.

Slight Miss
Its only got 60k on it. Always let the turbo cool down.

Slight Miss
I been thinking this for a while until I came in from 250 mile trip. It now has a slight miss, nothing eng shaking but a pop to the exhaust. It is stock for the most part. Have not done anything to it but service it. It sets in the garage for the most part, only has 60k on it. My first thought is injectors, which it does roll black smoke when you get into it. The only other think I can come up with is valve adjustment. But if its making a slight pop it would suggest a tight valve which would mean valve sinking into the seat. Any thoughts? Thanks

Air Bag Recall
I keep getting these notices on my 05, Should I have this done? I DONT trust the dealership at all with my trucks.

Turbo
I will pick it up in the morning and get it back together. I will be checking boost boots good start.
-
Turbo
The guys at Majestic Turbo said the noise I was hearing was not the turbo. I had two other truck guys say yep turbo so it wasnt just me. lol At 15-18 lbs of boost it would make a squealing, screeching noise. So I guess I will start with the front of the motor. But the seal was leaking some letting a very little oil into the intake side so all was not a total waste. 415.00 out the door new everything.

Turbo
No signs of touching the housing, you can still spin it with your fingers. It has some slack but not much. I hope I caught it soon, like I say it still functions.

Turbo
So I found Majestic Turbo in Waco Tx. So you think oil change is in order? What it was doing is making a screeching noise when it would build up 16-18 lbs of boost, other than that it was still operating.
