    Classic Mexican-English mistakes... Seen some Mexicans do some really stupid stuff to otherwise nice vehicles. Meh...whatever. I also seriously doubt the bodywork is from the truck in the pic. Truck looks meticulous, bodywork looks like it was stashed haphazardly in a root cellar for a few...

    Tranny experts - does a TCI go in a '93 Ty??

    Well... I got a TPI in the Syclone. It's been in the truck since Dec. of '99. I have yet to have any problems with it. The sheet says: 700R4 non-lockup with Reds and Kolenes and billet servo 22/30 (whatever that means) and 10" 3000 non-l/u, with one case of Torco. I paid $2190.00. I don't...

    Propshaft question...

    I just had the front dif replaced. It wasn't the dealer... Anyway, I have just read that one should mark the shaft to ensure that it gets replaced in exactly the same way or it will be out "of phase." Interesting... I have no idea if the guy who switched out the dif did this. I bring this...

    NEW Syclone Video.....

    Well... I bought my Sy from the dealer new. I was there waiting when the rolling parking lot dropped it off. I assure you it had a sliding rear window. The truck had 12 miles on the odo when it got to Boone. The dealership and their workers were the only ones to ever rip me off. Long...

    How do i check my wastgate soilenoid?

    I was just getting a code 31 check engine light. Also, the vent looked like ass and was likely clogged. The number was 1997152 as printed on the ticket. List was $27.95 but the dealer put it at $18.85 so $20.17 with tax. Probably a good idea to change it. Can't hurt...

    Solenoid ???

    OK, I had a cracked elbow (factory) that went into the solenoid. I am going to assume that this was the source of my problem... I now have a couple more questions... What is the hose diameter 6 or 8? The elbow looks like it has two different sized ends. Did you guys just replace the whole...
