Oil change the other day

ReplCed the blower motor resistor my fan now works in all speeds !!

Before

After

Found this beauty the other day while inspecting my brakes

My parking brakes. Thus may be why they don't work lol

My friend is coming over Sunday and we are gonna run a cylinder contribution test and figure out what two cylinders are dead on my cold Starr cause that's what we think is why she won't start without being plugged in cause I have new glows and relay

sorry for long time sincei was on

It is a AFE aluminized.

It fit good. the DP was long so the trans X had to be removed to install on my zf6.

The truck has a bad MAP sensor it reads 1.4V at all times and supposed to fluctuate between 1.9-2.1 at idle and .3-.5 at WOT

was playing with stack ideas today also

i like this one the best

this is just another one i found

You probably have batts. In there already but dual big rig bats will fit just have to grind the tray a little and change one end to clear the hood

Been thinking of making a box and mount them in the corner of the bed or modifying the under hood mounts for them since they are so tall.

I've done a recent amount. I'll update later tonight for y'all

Good for you-- you working in a shop now?

Good call on stage 1s--they are an easy transition for injectors. IMO, but unless you have a plan to really step up and invest in many areas, no sense in going larger right now.

well i ended up getting just reman ADs cause funds and i really need the truck back on the road and starting.

for now my plan is gonna be convert to l99 intake with a 38r, t500 from joey, tunes, and regulated return for fuel system.

maybe down the road ill upgrade injectors again. but right now. i need it running and starting again

I GOT MY INJECTORS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

install went fine. I highly recommend Justin at Power-Struck. super friendly on the phone. and sur eit took awhile cause parts got backordered. even for the deal he gave me he went the extra mile to ensure i got a premium set of injectors that work flawlessly and not throw together some injectors with half a$s parts.

so far so good. just been idling more than anything here for an hour or so. if you punch the throttle you get that white raw fuel smoke. im figuring its from air and what not in the HPO system and fuel system.

lots of oil coming out the exhaust but everytime i have done injectors this has happened, i pin it up as nothing and it just needs ran
