Woohoo!!!

Tell me about it. My old diesel truck has been my daily driver for a year now, and I've been dieing to work on the speed. I still have a whole brand new aquamist kit in a box, waiting to get installed since 2020. Owning a home sucks. I had more time to wrench when we used to rent. But on...

Hi everyone! Its been a while since I last posted here. Not much to write about since 2020. Wife has been daily driving it, and sometime in 2024 I replaced the spark plugs, throttle body, and intake manifold gaskets. Wife's brakes needed to be done badly! Decided to pull the trigger on an...

We might have another 3 years of this madness to deal with. Hopefully not.... like really, hopefully not...

Absolutely nothing. I'm just being a jerk and teasing you. I've thought about that aux heat exchanger a couple of times. I couldn't justify losing all that room, given all the other crap I already have. I am excited to see another local do a build. What CEL are you getting??

Its about damn time! Toss that aux heat exchanger you have, and seal up/vent that front end.

Ive been fucking with these cars since 2012, helped gen 1 and gen 2 bro's with their cars over the years, blah blah. In all that time Ive never heard of a difference in injectors. The injectors themselves are the same in gen 1 and gen 2 motors. Same for the fuel rail, relief valve, and...

That is one nice looking manifold. I like the option for throttle body positioning. That should appeal to a lot of different folks.

Same. I had JBR trilogy mounts ages ago. Fuck them. I switched to Damond in 2014 and never looked back. I would recommend the street bushings.

I may take you up on that. Thank you. My press needs a new pump, so I'm going to replace that first and see what I can do. If I see anything I don't like, I'll let you know.

Sounds very stiff then

Short non update... Mother in laws Expedition is getting seafoamed today. I replaced all 4 cats with magnaflows. Hopefully this finishes it and I can dedicate my time to my own cars again. My g**damn diesel truck has decided to spring a leak from the water pump AND the radiator at the same...

+1 for Bilstein They will firm up the ride a slight bit, without seeming harsh. You will like the characteristics that bilstein valving improves on. Less squat, dive, and sway.

I apologize in advance. I'm a bit high. Do you know the mileage on the motor? You might be able to help it and get away with some SeaFoam treatment. Or whatever the Canadian version of seafoam is. Or some sort of heavy duty carbon build up cleaner that you can run. Its only a few bucks for...

Hmmm..... On mine I am running 500 front and 500 rear. The front is deliciously stiff, the rear is too bouncy. The rear is oversprung for the weight. A better setup would be 500 front, about 350-400 rear. On the factory kw v3's that I still have on, spring rate was 400 front, rear was...

What spring rates are you running now boo?

Sounds like the dual mass flywheel died. Is it hard to shift through gears with the engine on?

Water would be the only concern I think

Hey dude! Speed has been in hibernation since Jan. No work done to it yet since my garage is a mess, and I've been driving/fixing the damn diesel truck and my mother in laws expedition, which has also had 28 years of neglect by bad mechanics. The shit I've found on that truck is incredible...

Hurricane season is roughly 6 mons long. It's not the quantity of storms, but how devastating the few storms are. They bring rain, coastal flooding, and let's not forget countless tornadoes. The last few years, hurricanes have been hitting N and W FL with a vengeance. I've never experienced...
