    excessive heat coming from firewall: help please

    wow great info. so let me attempt to dumb this down ... your saying that that moving the temp lever to "cold" should shut the air diverter flap away from the heater core...regardless if the AC is functioning?

    excessive heat coming from firewall: help please

    if the heater core is blocked from getting hot coolant...wouldn't the coolant in the heater core be cold (ambient temp)? thus meaning there wouldn't be hot air?? or am I thinking backwards on that. so if I set it to MAX AC, the blend door will close? sorry so many questions...I haven't messed...

    Fuel pressure regulater installed...problem solved

    Fuel pressure regulater installed...problem solved, at least I think. so after my edelbrock carb fell apart, I decided to put a HOLLEY 670 offroad carb on my truck a few months ago. for the most part it worked great right out of the box, but always seemed to run rich...and didn't seem to have...

    Locker and 13 bolt shave install.

    I may have misspoke....it was a concern I found when researching which direction I wanted I wanted to go. and the main concern wasn't the gear cracking....it was the decreased amount of fluid was thought to be a concern in effecting cooling while on long trips or more specifically towing. as...

    Locker and 13 bolt shave install.

    1” doesn’t sound like much ....until you see the chunk you cut off. I looked heavily into the full shave, as I manage a machine shop it would have been easy enough to do. My issue was that it is rumored to decrease cooling and reports of cracked ring gears are being told. I drive mine long...

    Locker and 13 bolt shave install.

    Good morning all. Finally got around to installing my Detroit locker and shaving my 14 bolt with a 13 bolt kit. With support from this site, the job really wasn’t that difficult. In fact it was one of the easier things I have done this far to the truck. God bless Texas and the engineers that...
