    rookie move

    Re: rookie move ahh i didn't think to search 'paint codes", I was searching for "dash paint" and "grill paint" :oops:. Thanks!!! :rotf: yes... yes they are... I'm sure I'll figure something out... The custom paint shop in town will probably want $300 to repaint it. But there is a hobby...

    Re: lowering block centering. what shocks are up front? Maybe that shit's worn out and front end is a lil lower than stock making the back look worse?

    lowering block centering.

    Re: lowering block centering. the centering blocks do work great... but the belltech sway bar doesn't move back with the axle. Meaning the bottom of the U bolts for the sway bar are now angled a bit towards the front of the truck and the sway bar itself is no longer directly beneath the...

    A good chip and possible alky for a stock engine?

    Re: A good chip and possible alky for a stock engine? alky will help get rid of KR. But thats more of a band aid if you already have a bad tune. It's best to try to get the KR to 0 or as low as possible on pump gas and a stock chip, before throwing more stuff into the mix... then you'll just...

    remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable

    Re: remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable haha I concur! Not a fan of that reflective glass they used on these trucks back then. hmm... mine doesn't work at all with the car on or off. So maybe we're not having the same problem? Also went by Radio Shack, O'Reilly's, and Pep Boys... no...

    Typhoon vs GTR

    Re: Typhoon vs GTR wasn't trying to offend you, I've never tried to build vacuum in the brakes from a roll. I usually make sure I'm stopped so I can get a good amount of pressure on the pedal as I'm revving and I don't push through the brakes as I'm building boost. is the lack of boost at...

    Typhoon vs GTR

    Re: Typhoon vs GTR When you get to the line, throw it in neutral and rev the engine up a couple times, you'll feel the brake pedal go down a lil further (this will help you hold a lil more boost at the line), put it in 3rd or "D" and leave it there... No need to shift through the gears...

    Bov bs

    Re: Bov bs I have a manual boost controller with an external gate. I have the controller turned down to 10-12psi, and was making solid boost before the BOV so I don't think that's the issue... in fact, so much boost was going out of the BOV that I couldn't hear anything going out of the...

    remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable

    Re: remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable just went by the dealer on my lunch break and the relay is NLA. The parts guy said it's a 30a relay and that radio shack should have something that will work. So I'll swing by there on my way home. Might have to wire up something from the harness...

    Bov bs

    Re: Bov bs The line itself is new and good. I'm gonna pull the BOV apart and see what's going on. It's almost as if the pressure from the vacuum line isn't going inside the bov to push the valve down. Seeing as it starts to leak at the first sign of boost. So there's gotta be something...

    Bov bs

    Re: Bov bs maybe I'm just confused here... I was under the impression that the vacuum line from the manifold was supposed to provide positive pressure to the valve keeping it shut under boost regardless of how many psi of boost 1-25 etc. Once you let off the gas, the vacuum line should go...

    remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable

    Re: remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable I just pulled the relay out and it says "TRW" on it, which is the same company that makes the keyless system. So it's very likely that this is the problem. I'll pick up a new relay tomorrow on my way home from work and see what happens. Hopefully...

    remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable

    Re: remote(s) fob intermittently inoperable I had the same issue with the fob working intermittently, and now it doesn't work at all. not to hijack the thread, but is the keyless receiver tied into the same relay as the "rear window" switch in the dash? Because that doesn't work now either...

    tough guy in Jeep Overland

    Re: tough guy in Jeep Overland IF he were to do that, I do not blame him for one second! God forbid I get into another accident, but if I do, I'm milking the hell out of it! Hire up a good ambulance chaser lawyer, deny out of court arbitration, take it to court, show up in a wheel chair and...
