    *** ******

    I've been out of the game for quite a while since I sold my truck in 2015, but a buddy's truck has a plugged *** and he wants to ****** it. Not really looking for a big power bump, but 50hp would be nice. Looking for a cheap way to ******. Last time I bought a tuner H&S was still in...

    New Gearhead tunes: Now what?

    I just received my new Gearhead files. There are 4 of them, .mcc file extentions. What do I do with them now? Do I drop them in my "custom" folder? I'm running a Mini Maxx.

    Serial number on H&S?

    I bought a Gearhead's tune a few days ago but he needs the serial number from my H&S prior to making the new tune. When I go into the MiniMaxx to "show settings", the serial number says N/A. What gives? I downloaded the latest updates from H&S, but it still says N/A.

    Fuel cooler system bleeding

    Is anyone familiar with the factory fuel cooler system and how to bleed it? I just got my truck back together after doing gaskets, studs, pistons and valvesprings and I can't get the air out of the fuel cooler system. The procedure that I have read was to unbolt the fuel cooler in front of...

    Finally completed the mini rebuild of my motor this weekend. Started with a blown head gasket, but found valve contact and a cracked piston lip. Ended up pulling to motor out by myself in my dirt floor shop and refreshed the whole thing. Big thanks to Jared at River City Diesel for providing...

    6.0 Manifold upgrade: bolts?

    I'm doing the 6.0 manifold upgrade on my truck and noticed that the manifold bolts are too long for the 6.0 manifolds. Has anyone replaced the bolts with shorter ones or does everyone just put spacers on them? If you replace them, did you go with stainless bolts?

    Help! Pulling motor right now.

    I'm just about to pull my motor out but I can't get to the torque converter bolts. A standard socket is too short and a deep well is too long and hits the oil pan. Do I have to take off the oil pan to her the torque converter bolts off? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Head studs - a different perspective

    So, i'm in the middle of a complete teardown on my motor. I already ordered a set of ARP studs and have them here in the box. The dilemma that I now have is how in the world I'm going to torque them down to the required 275ft-lbs when I reinstall the heads? I have access to a practically...

    Why did my valve hit my piston?

    So I have my motor apart for head gaskets. I sent the heads out to get checked and the machine shop had to replace 5 valves (1 intake and 4 exhaust). I was curious as to why the valves were bad so I took a closer look at the bottom end. I noticed this: The circle shows where the exhaust...

    Front cover replacement?

    So, I'm doing head gaskets and studs on my 08 right now. I just pulled the water pump last night and this is what I found... There is some minor pitting on the lower right and what looks like score marks all around it. Would you replace this cover? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mini Maxx Update problems

    I tried to update my sd card for my mini maxx today since I've never updated it since 2012. Halfway through the update I got an error saying that one of the files is corrupted and it won't let me continue with the download. Now what do I do? Just so I'm clear, I'm just trying to download the...

    Improving reliability Job 1 6.4

    I have a 2008 Job 1 truck that I purchase 1.5yr ago. I was in a minor wreck with it a week ago and it is currently off the road as I gather parts to fix it. Since it is off the road, and I'm tearing it apart anyway, I'm thinking it's a good time to do some upgrades for reliability. Current...

    Help: trouble code 2263 Boost System Performance

    I was towing a truck on a long haul over the weekend and got a trouble code twice, going up both sides of a mountain (once going, once on return trip). Both times it occured while the truck was pulling for a while steady in 4th gear. EGTs were good (1200 or so), trans temp was ~170, so no...

    Mini Maxx, high EGT question

    I'm sure this has been asked on here before, but the forum won't let me search for "EGT", so I'm not getting any results. I have an 08 with S&B, stock exhaust with DPF delete, and the Mini Maxx. No other motor mods. The problem I'm having is high EGT when I turn the tuner up. Yesterday I...

    Wanted: 8x200 Dually wheels

    My previous thread is incorrect, so I'm posting a new one so the title is correct. I'm looking for 4 8x200 dually wheels for the rear of a pulling truck we are building. We are swapping a rear Dana 80 from an 07 dually into an OBS truck. We are running standard single wheels on the front, so...
