    Trans issue or????

    Not sure if I have a transmission issue, transfer case issue or driveline. The issue I'm having is after driving to work, I go to back in my spot and when I apply the brakes in reverse it almost feels like I hit something. It makes me look everytime.

    Broken flex plate sound?

    Think I might have a broken flex plate or loose converter bolts. Don't know what either one sounds like but I have a nasty 12valve cummins sound coming from my bellhousing. Messed with my tuning yesterday and have been out breaking her in. Nasty rattle coming from that area. If I rev it up...

    Normally ole girl stays on the street but a friend had a bonfire last night, then we had a few to many beers, and some smack talk, and I was back there this morning working on it haha.

    Price on home built 366 kit?

    Was wondering how much it would run to set up a 366 on my lb7. Basically buying a pre-made pedestal and supplying the rest or would it be cheaper to just buy a kit? If so who has the best deals on a kit? Or maybe does anyone have a used kit for sale for a decent price? Thanks guys

It only does this...

    Flash issues

    . Every time I try to flash the truck efi goes through its motions but only takes about 10 seconds and pops up with this window. I'm guessing laptop issues? Anybody ever had this issue. Thanks in advance
