    2002 FE9

    I haven’t done much noteworthy work on the truck in the past couple months. I spent some time with the wastegate but that’s for another time. Caltracs we’re finished today and this weekend I’ll find time to do the power steering pump and cooler. Calvert is an awesome company! I had a problem...

    October '25 Chat -- Ghouls and Ghosts Galore!

    I’m the same with my daughter! She has my sense of humor but her mother’s timidity. Shes 16 and we are driving on her permit now. At her age I was already taking my boat out into the bay and ocean for 3 years alone and driving was a breeze. (It was also all that I thought about my entire...

    Thanks! I’m more like your son, so it’s hard for me to put myself in a normal kid’s shoes, hahaha. I was riding a two wheeler before I was 2.

    James - my godson is 6. Dad and I are looking for a cheap pw50, but there’s a bunch of steals on pw80’s. I know it has a clutch, but it is that much of a stretch to take a kid from an electric dirtbike on an m18 12.0AH straight to an 80 instead of the 50? PFA - last Thursday in the Pine Barrens :)

    LB7 Turbo

    Mild cam and built trans in your signature. Best share the specs of both cam and converter with anyone trying to help you find a larger turbo, especially since you tow heavy. If you aren't opposed to treating your wallet like a whore, port and polished stock with an S475 is a lot of fun :)

    Snapped the shock mount!

    2 for 2! Yesterday I was in another part of the Pines and I come ripping through a trail to find a huge Rottie. 6hrs later and he’s out of the forest and into a crate with Animal Contol. Unreal the delay and bureaucracy. I can’t believe I got him to come with me on foot for a few miles to get to...

    2001 Sierra 8.1 crank no start then start

    I know I’ve read this complaint and it’s been FPR or pimp or even filter. Here’s one of them. Guy came back and said it was fixed with FPR. Maybe have him key cycle and try to start in the first try. If it does, then move to fuel instead of electrical. Dunno...

    2001 Sierra 8.1 crank no start then start

    I'd check fuel pressure. Suspect FPR, but that's my unprofessional SWAG :)

    Toy hauler tie downs

    You need something to hold the front wheel steady too.

    Snapped the shock mount!

    She’s super gentile and sweet. Shes also very calm about my other dogs checking her out. My wife and I spent a bunch of time tonight getting them all to meet and greet. The big Shepherd “Duke” scared her some but she was super. The smaller shepherd “Eli” was a dick but she ignored him - which is...

    She’s sleeping in her crate right now. I’m searching the lost dog posts, but nothing. Maybe she was dumped ;(

    I finished up last night and towed my little enclosed trailer around today. Shes fixed :) I towed the trailer to ride dirt but plans changed when I found this little girl wandering around the Pine Barrens. No collar and no registered microchip :(

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I made a gauge so that I knew exactly where the OEM was welded. I just held the new one up and man is that a hell of an angle. Gulp!

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I’ve reused them plenty of times myself, despite knowing that you aren’t supposed to. I think the reasoning is because they are TTY in that they stretch when you install. But plenty of “sloppy”-er folks than me have used TTY hardware over and over. :) This time I put new ones on, because they...

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I’m meant to ask about the torque comment. Are you saying to tighten to spec or above? My father made and installed leaf springs on big trucks and he’s always preaching to me that I need to tighten the ubolts with everything I can throw at them; spec be damned. Then beat on them with a hammer...

    I used grade 5. I read most are 5 or 8 and some light duty vehicles are 2, so I went down the middle. Plus, I had two nice bolts in my bucket :)
