    GM Factory Scan Tool/Programming Questions

    I have a 2006 GMC Duramax that I have a couple questions about. I assume the factory tool has the ability to check functions and such of all the existing modules? I have heard that the calibrations can be updated as well, I assume I need a dealer to scan it to see if there are any available...

    I Need Diesel Tuner Education

    Is there a link you know of somewhere that explains these diesel tuners and how they work or compares their functions/abilities you could point me to? If not, continue reading and see if you can help me out, haha. It seems there are the "big brand" tuners out there such at Edge, Banks...

    New Truck

    Well, I finally bought myself something I could tow with when the time comes. I thought I would post so I can hear all the bad things people have to say about it being a GMC and not a Dodge :fawkdancesmiley: It's a 2006 (LBZ and 6 speed Allison of course) fully loaded Sierra SLT 2500 4x4 and...

    I came across this while looking for something else. I thought it was kind of cool and worth a share at least. ~T.J. http://books.google.com/books?id=_-MDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA48&pg=PA51#v=onepage&q&f=true

    Hydro-Boost Brake Advice Please

    I haven't had to do too much with hydro boost brakes before since I have never owned anything that has had them, nor did any of the shops I worked at service vehicles that would have had them. That said, my fiancee's family has a 32' GM chassis motorhome (mid 90s with about 20K miles on it)...

    SB5800 Allows Street Plating "Converted" Dirtbikes

    This was mentioned in another thread a while back, but I think this is pretty cool. As of 1/12/12, SB5800 went into effect which allows the plating of dirtbikes following an inspection at an approved facility (NOT the WSP) such as a repair shop or dealer. From what I know, there is a $100 fee...

    Toyota ADD Engagement Issue?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with the Toyota ADD engaging when it shouldn't be? For instance driving down the road and coming to a stop?

    Look At My Custom Holley Blue Fuel Pump!

    ...Its the custom BBQ version apparently :rolleyes: I was having trouble with the pump not holding pressure correctly last summer when I installed it in my street car (Mazda RX-7), but never really looked into it because I needed new jets to tune the Holley carb anyway. Over the winter I...

    Repairing Toyota Cab Body Mounts - Advice?

    So, the body lift which was on the truck when I bought it has taken its toll on my cab floor and punched one of the mounts clean through. I had been meaning to take the body lift off anyway but have been held back since I need to relocate the shock hoops, cut the core support for the steering...

    Holley Carb Vacuum Secondaries - Help

    Ok, so Im a complete newbie with Holley carbs, but Im far from incompetent I would hope, haha. I have a Holley 4160 (I believe) which has a vacuum secondary system that isnt working.

    If you have a Marlin Crawler, All-Pro, Trail-Gear, Badlands, built by whoever, or whatever bumper, could you do me a favor? Im looking for a measurement from the bottom of the front cross member area (with all the holes in it) to the surface which your winch mounts on. NOT the bottom of the...

    On Board Air Plumbing

    Simple question Im debating. Should the oil/water separator be right after the compressor before the tank, or after the air leaves the tank like a typical air compressor at home? In case it matters, Im using a York. ~T.J.

    Fixing Bed Rust?

    The bed on my 84 Toyota is in decent shape, but the holes in the floor where the roll bar mounts have rusted out pretty bad. I know most of you will roll your eyes and say to ditch the thing, but for some reason, I like the look of it. So, my plan is to pull it out, patch/reinforce the floor...

    Smittybilt XRC8 Winch - My Experience So Far

    Well, I just thought I would post a little feedback now that Ive used my Smittybilt XRC8 about a dozen times now. I should preface this by saying that this is the first winch Ive ever used, however, Im impressed. When I went shopping for a winch, it was one of those things I knew I wanted, but...

    OEM Style Crimp Connectors - Where?

    I dont know what else to call them. Im looking for QUALITY crimp connectors for a large wiring project I have coming up (custom wiring harness for a car), and I dont like using the cheesy PVC/Vinyl insulated connectors. Normally I get the non-insulated and just solder the terminals and use...

    Shock Hoop Gussets

    Included with my shock hoops, are 4 gussets that are meant to be cut to length and installed from the frame rails to the hoop for extra support - obviously. How many people install these? It seems like Im seeing a lot of pictures of peoples trucks without them installed (as I type this, the...

    Marlin's Long Spline Driveline Kit Question

    So, I got one of these kits, but it didnt come with a zerk fitting for the slip section. I figured it was no big deal and I would just run down to the store to get one. No such luck. Napa and Carquest both have nothing that will fit the threaded hole in the driveline. I went through their...
