Talking about dogs and crap. Marley who is my daughter lab rescue found some freshies one day. Quite amazing how much of her body she covered with crap.

90W on the hood of your car will only help you maintain your starter battery fresh while camping (as in not driving). It will never be 90W under any circumstances. The same goes for roof mounted panels.

Something else to consider as it was mentioned on the previous page.

A simple search on the net will yield a ton of results. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/here-are-all-the-gm-models-that-use-the-global-b-architecture/...

Please don't use a Wix filter, there's plenty of stories here of them causing loss of oil pressure. Not worth the risk.

Buying. Thanks!

The jerry cans linked above are the small mouth ones, so is the spout.

They sell spouts too. You need to choose the correct one as they sell two sizes, for small mouth and large mouth cans. I can't say it is a perfect seal, but I don't mind a few drops of gasoline. https://colemans.com/small-mouth-jerry-can-nozzle

NATO jerry cans or nothing. Ugly on the outside, perfect on the inside. They often go on sale for $29 - $35. https://colemans.com/nato-military-jerry-can

That's why the 10 speed tranny is a good match to keep the RPMs low in the usable powerband.

They are already on 2.0

Drive it to US, have the swap done here, drive it home.

I am already making plans to have my car registered in Florida since I cannot have nice things in California.

In a couple weeks after I design a better thermostat, I’d love to start installing these for guys, using torfabs adapter and my mounts

I love diesels, modern diesels. I drove one for almost 10 years. It was awesome on the streets and highways. It had tons of power above 80 MPH where people think diesels die. It kept on pulling hard to redline. My post above was meant to shed...

Don’t mean to argue but I have 10 gears to manually select from. So in theory I can be in any rpm range I want to be in in low range

The is another issue here when offroading in the low gears. RPMs tend to go high when you are in first gear and engage the Low range on your transfer case. This would place the diesel in the higher RPM power band where most often the torque drops...

Thank you. I had no idea about the differences between model years. I simply assumed 4.5L engines are the same.

This is a VAF vain air flow meter that the thread is about. You are lucky to have a 97 which has a MAF mass air flow sensor. I have never heard of one going bad they are usually just cleaned and your back to spec. If your using aftermarket than...

Resurrection time. The ebay items discussed previously are not available any more or I cannot find them. I searched by the item number and by description as well. I got this 1997 TLC with a long history of MAF issues. All I find in terms of...

I freaking love it dude. I can't remember who said he was sitting a bunch of GM diesels at his shop a few years ago. The final word was it cannot be done, mostly due to the ECM. I can't remember if it was Georg or someone else. Thanks to you...
