    Found Dustin's Old Truck

    If you've already filled the block at least part full, fill it up past the crack points in the water jackets, then put in a sealer. I can't remember the exact product, but the guys at swamps were very helpful when I did it last. It worked well. No more leaky leak

    Thanks guys. I actually put tan belts back in the front 2 seats for the moment just to temporarily have it street worthy while the truck is down. I have the black dye I'm gonna try when I get some time, but if that doesn't work perfectly, I'll have them re-webbed. Sophie; my truck is just an...

    Well, I had to rush to get this street legal as I got a fancy new motor and trans for my truck, and need to have them done before thanksgiving. Without the truck or the unfinished excursion, all my wife and I have is a piece of junk kia, and sharing that car while the truck is down is not...

    Found Dustin's Old Truck

    That stinks on the cracked block thing. I had a string of bad luck on that with my old red '08. The original block did it when I did studs one at a time, then when I built the new motor, the same thing happened, even with sufficient teflon paste on every stud. I was incredibly careful too. The...

    From an art perspective, the truck is top notch. I completely agree the level of quality in the build is outstanding. I just can't wrap my head around this donk truck craze, and why form is more important than function on so many of these trucks now. Makes me wonder about functional driveline...

    body shop hurt my engine.....

    Yeah, I wasn't fresh on all the diagnostic details, but if you have compression, I see no reason to pull a head at this point.

    body shop hurt my engine.....

    That approach makes no sense at all to me. Does it have cam and crank timing synchronization? If so, the cam and crank relationship is fine. I could see pulling the #1 injector, and putting in a depth gauge to find tdc, then comparing it with the cam timing if that is a problem. The head would...

    body shop hurt my engine.....

    Welcome to the world of flat rate. When you're paid by the job, and 99% of what you work on is stock, most people get in the mind set of rushing it, and if it comes back, nbd, my boss will cover it. It's pretty sad really. I regularly end up cleaning up other technicians' messes where they...

    The truck is looking great Mark! It's really cool to see this thing back to life, and better than ever. I'm a big fan of the wrap and grille choice.

    body shop hurt my engine.....

    Yeah, fun. :( so if it's not currently hydrolocked, and all the electrical circuits pass, you have rpm signal, it could very well have slipped the cam gear or broke something sensor related.

    Here's your list of possible causes for a P0016: Damaged CKP sensor Damaged CMP sensor Missing CKP signal Noisy CKP signal Missing CMP signal Noisy CMP signal Base engine concerns Start by seeing if rpm will go above 150 while cranking. IF you have that, you're off to a good start. Next, check...

    I guess that wasn't very clear. It's because all my belts are tan, and I'm going all black on the interior. I know I can buy new ones for the front, but not the excursion seats.

    Interior color change. Need help

    http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/mm5/merchant.mvc Here's the place I was directed. Sent them an email, and hope they can get me fixed up. Is this who you were thinking of Mark? Also, I found these guys for carpet dye: http://americolordyes.com/ I explained what I had, and wanted to do. They said it...
