    Hand held scanner that reads live data?

    The BAFX blue tooth works good for me with the torque app to check the mustang , Toyota Tacoma and the 1998 k1500 , But it does not help you set the timing/cam position sensor . Is the Tech 2 of any use for setting the cam sensor / timing . Very frustrating having all these apps say they can...

I hooked the smaller fan up to come on with the ac and the larger fan on a remote sending unit in the upper radiator hose . I also have toggle switches to over ride the temp sensors in case I should...

    Trouble cranking after mpfi injector swap

    Is it possible that the factory fuel pressure regulator is on the weak side now that the spider has the upgraded injectors instead of the poppet type . I also wonder if a connection isn't perfect in the engine harness plug on the upper intake manifold . I use a Elm 32 and the Torque app on my...

    Painting with POR-15.

    I have been a little discouraged with POR-15 , for me it just didn't want to harden for a few days so dust and bugs were a headache , but I did mix it with a drill attached mixer , so color was no issue . For me I noticed the pigment separated after a few days in the can and I had to mix it...

    TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

    My opinion is that the weak link will be the u joints before the differential , but you would still need to be pretty rough on it to have those kinda problems , that differential is pretty tough . my buddies dad runs stupid amounts of boost and has only had troubles once with the drive line and...

    TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

    It will be one hell of a sturdy tow vehicle and should be a pleasure drive , I didn't know about that transmission until this thread , It looks very well built and seems to be made by a very reputable company .

    TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

    Well **** , you got me on that one LOL , I have the opinion that all the commercial equipment is noisy by design of massive gears, bearings , and synchro's , or lack of . But my knowledge and experience is very limited to high mileage equipment , like Kenworth dump trucks , and a few Whites ...

    1998 black box programming options ? Help .

    df2x4 : Thank you , I had no idea where else to look for people with the 0411 swap experience . I would prefer the pcm swap for the data logging options . I have used data logging to tune my motorcycle and I have been very pleased with the results .

    TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

    If the noise is too much you can add sound deadener until its comfortable , I wouldn't imagine you will have much issue with a transmission being ridiculously loud that isn't coming from a commercial vehicle thats intended to stay in service for a few million miles .

    Nathaniel2g : I should check but does Blackbear offer the information to wire the 0411 pcm properly ? I don't mind paying for the documents , its just that I can not locate them being available anywhere . I would love to know where Lextech got off too , maybe I could bribe him LOL .

    TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

    My buddies Dad put some kind of Cat engine and the manual trans in his Dodge after he broke the Cummins that was in it ( tons of boost ) . He has complained about it ever since , he had to do a 4 inch body lift to squeeze the trans in that I guess he can shift 8 or 12 times , according to his...

    c1500deathtrap : I am so ignorant of all these visual and what not's regarding the inspection process's here in Rockwall TX that I just can't figure out what my legal options are .

    lt4 hot cam

    I completely agree , a carb would solve so many problems with this particular truck/pcm combo , I have even considered stepping back to a 1992 so I could do a stand alone pcm swap , but at the moment Texas has us by the balls with the visual inspection plus a obd-2 scan , I'm really hoping to...

    Brutal outside edge front tire wear

    It looks like you are in a better position than I am for figuring out if the front end guy was also adjusting camber , I just remember the first few times he made such drastic changes he was laughing and joking with the owners of the cars about how much of a change he could make without causing...

If I remember correctly the...
