HMMMM Never thoght of a tensioner getting tighter as years go by I would of thought it would go lose or slack, but what the hay. Anything is possible, This fix I posted has work well for a couple of days now and the belt has not stretched any further than the initial stat up and idle time, I...

I kept stretching the Kelley belt that measured at 63.5 inches long, (sorry I do not remember the part #) this also was destroying my tension pulley to boot. So today I replaced the tension pulley with a replacment pulley part Dayco # 89003 and the belt with Gates K060620. At first it did touch...

Well, I work in the trucking industry. A Union Carrier, ABF Freightways, Operations MGR and they do consume a vast majority of your time. So, take the time to be with your daughter and be a DAD for a couple of weeks, I know I wished I had more time with my twin boys, they are 4 now and I...

Never enough time as usual Doing well, but I just wished I could get a break from work. I just bought a new S-10 about 4 weeks ago with 27 miles on it and I have already logged 4200 miles going back and forth to Ft. Smith for confrences and siminars. Two more to go to in April. I hope...

Joe It is for those that are truely dedicated to race'n. Any time anywhere B-:D :)

code 44 Check the voltage of you TPS sensor, my GN once set this code and the idle voltage was well below .41 . I'd give that a try and make sure you are no higher than 4.7 @ WOT

Louie- Thanks for the reply on the cam I also have heard that this cam profile made some noise but, it always helps a guy out (mentally) to hear it from others that have dealt with this cam B 4. I'll stil be spending some time setting the preload to quite as much as I can. Thanks...

Thanks! I guess I will have to spend some more time with the ole girl, darn........;)

lifter preload Not certain what the actual preload is on my TTA, because the manual states to torque to 44 lbs........ and that is what I went for and left it at that. I'm going to read in to this a bit, but I believe you are going to tell me to go by the preload and not a torque value...

After the rebuild of the engine and about 2500 miles on her I still have lifter chatter (seems extra loud, well above any others I have heard) This on a TTA, I have the rocker torqued down to 44 lbs like the manual states. What else would come into play here and are JOHNSON lifter worth a hoot...

Oil weight STP, I have considered a heavier oil, I run Mobil (dino oil) 10W40 currently and thought of 20W50 synth after break in. This however would not be done to solve or band aid a problem. If the stock TTA guage reads 18 and a good mech guage says other wise I will let it be. Then I...

:) Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to this thread, thank you for all the replies. Red- Just worried that 18 psi was not enough, hate to neglete a provlem and make it worse. $$$$$ does grow on my trees. Salvage- What you mentioned was my plan of attack, if the aftermarket...

What would be the most common of cause for low oil pressure on a fresh motor. The engine now has about 2500 miles and when it falls to idle speeds it drops to about 18 psi according to the stock TTA guage. Now I do know that a stock guage is more of a reference point and not to be taken as...

Well, to let the board know: 1. I found the GM part # to the sender/kill switch and it is still available, list is $44.65. Part # 102 2. I believe the shutter is coming from a weak stock waste gate, maybe not but it is raining here and I wll be giving it up for the day.

Couple of ??? 1. Does anyone know the GM part # for the oil pressure sender, I need to replace a bad one that is leaking and giving a bad reading. Already tried an aftermarket but I do not think it is correct. 2. Since the TA 54 is being rebuilt by J Craig I put the stock back on and I...

Well, I do not have an answer for you, but I do have a place for you to start. Try www.thirdgen.org in thier tech section, they seem to have a good handle on 3rd gen problems like this one. Good luck......................

Email away Paul, Dropped you an Email...........

Thanks Rob, the specs were for my TTA
