    94-98 Cummins Ram 12v 2500 2wd Roller

    I bought a 1994 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel 3/4 ton to swap the Cummins into my F350. The truck is a very clean Florida truck, well cared for and runs a drives great. I'm keeping the engine and intercooler, but I'm trying to sell the entire truck as a roller before I part it out. This is ideal...

    Rust proofing

    Has anyone heard of KBS Coatings? It seems to be similar to POR 15, but easier to apply. I'd like to hear people's experiences with either one.

    Engine breaking up under boost

    I was running a stock turbo at 21-24lbs with only very little knock. I just put on a TA-51 with a powerplate and at 20#s the engine seems to be randomly cutting out (like a missfire) above 15#s of boost, the knock is still 0-4 max. Otherwise the car runs fine. It's a new TT chip (no alky)...

    Felpro Oil pan gasket

    What is the part number for the Felpro Oil Pan gasket for the 87? I would like a one piece rubber if it exists, otherwise what part# is a good alternative? I'm also thinking about trying the BBC rear main gasket adaptation to the stock crank idea. Anyone done this a while ago with it still...

    Wrap the downpipe or not?

    I just put in a turbo system on my IROC. The 3" downpipe is coated, but things are pretty tight in there. I wrapped it the other night and went cruising, kept the underhood temps down over just the Jet Hot. Will this eat the Jet Hot and the metal? Or will the Jet Hot protect the pipe? The...

    TPS only 4.1 at WOT

    If I set my tps to .44 at idle, I can only get 4.1 at WOT. I've reset the IAC, put another TPS (new) on and have 5 reference volts. I can get 4.6, but only if I set idle to .88v. Do I need one of those TPS TEC things from Casper's?

    turbo gasket?

    I'm replacing my stock turbo for my 87 with another used stock turbo. I didn't have a gasket between the compressor and the header, or between the compressor and the downpipe elbow. Is this ok or am I missing something? Looks like I may have been having some blowby.

    Need self tapping fitting

    I'm putting a turbo on my LT1 IROC. Does anyone know where I can get a self tapping fitting for the oilpan for the oil return? The block does not have a fuel pump casting and I REALLY don't want to pull the engine.

    My GN inspired me, so I'm putting a turbo on my 355 LT1 IROC. What size injectors should I run? I'm only going for around 550hp at 5lbs of boost. The turbo is a TO4B and I have DFI.

    What Shift Kit?

    I just bought an 87 GN, the trans was rebuilt to stock specs about 40k ago. The original TV cable ear was cracked, so the cable had 1/16" free play. I'm getting a new cable and going to change the fluid. What shift kit should I put in while I'm in there? I'm also going to put on a trans...
