    What are people doing for drag links these days?

    Bent my steering link a bit. I'm on 35s. What are people doing about it these days? Looks like oem is gonna be like $70 through Partsouq, which ain't the end of the world, but then it's the same soft metal, just a lot newer. Any off the shelf options? Do i find out the thread/size info and...

    GM  2002 Silverado Brake Issues

    Hey, figured I'd ask in here, see if anyone knows these things. I got an 02 Silverado, 1500hd with the 6.0L V8. It's a rusted out junker I've been using for my business until I can afford to get into something better. My brakes have started acting odd lately, and I figure I should correct...

    2005 Tundra P0420 After Thief Steals Cat (with video)

    Hey all I have a 2005 Tundra, 300,000km on it, I got to use as a work vehicle. About 2 weeks after I bought it, thief steals one of the cats from it. I won't go into that whole story, but you can watch the security camera footage down below. I bought a new cat and o2 sensor. Install, clear...

    Side Window Bracket Glue

    My searches have been in vain thus far. Vehicle is an 05 Tundra, but I'm pretty sure it's an issue applicable to many vehicles. Bought the truck with a driver's power window not working. A bolt was missing in the window holder frame, so everything went cacka. Someone in past jammed it...

    HDFT Intake Screen Amp Draw?

    1995 LC with the 1HDFT. When my alternator failed quite some time back, the only available replacement was an 80A, so in it went. With the 80A unit instead of the 100A, I noticed that my dummy lights were all lit up on start up while the glow screen was on. It was pulling more current than...

    Increase Hand Throttle And Remote Start

    95 hdj81. With winter coming quick, and my ACSD gone, and no idle up in the remote starter, I'm wondering about helping it out on really cold days. Is bumping the idle up to 1000 or so, then shutting off the vehicle so that when I hit the remote start it's already "up-idled" so it will...

    DH Bike Refresh

    Bored at work today so I thought I'd share a recent project that pulled me away from the truck. The scuffed, scratched and beaten look of the used Demo 8 I got last year wasn't doing it for me, so I did something about it. Paint stripper, clean and rough up, primed, sanded, painted, painted...

    HDFT Owners - Question About Intake Heater

    This question is for anyone with an hdft motor and the intake heater. What kinda ohm reading is the heater supposed to have? When checking the connection post to ground, it's nearly a dead short, 0.4ohm. I'm wondering if that's a shorted out condition, and why mine makes such an immense draw...

    Valve Clearances - How much is a "slight drag"?

    When checking/adjusting Valve Clearances on the 1hdft, the FSM says to put in a 0.2mm feeler for intake, 0.5mm exhaust, and adjust until there is a very slight drag. What exactly constitutes a slight drag? Current example: I can fit a maximum 0.3mm feeler under intake rocker 1, but 0.2...

    Exhaust Hangar From Body

    Hey all. Quick opinion hunt. Building an exhaust for my cruiser and just making a couple extra hangars to keep it all steady before calling it finished. What's the feelings on using the body for a hangar, as opposed to frame the whole way? I'd prefer not to normally, but there's an...

    Exhaust Tips - Cool or Not?

    Yeah, the title should explain mostly. Finally getting around to re-doing my exhaust and not sure about putting a tip on the end or not. It's a diesel if that makes a difference. Buddy who never washes his truck, tears the interiors out and never puts panels or carpets back in, doesn't...

    Vacuum in HDFT Fuel Tank?

    Hey Not a super pressing concern, but I've had no luck finding any information. The FSMs I've collected so far don't go too heavily into the fuel tank-to-engine department either. When undergoing long highway trips and fueling up midway , i find that there is a strong suction/ vacuum in the...

    Arts and Crafts Project: The Homebrew Rear Bumper

    I have some time to kill today, so I thought I'd start up a proper thread on this exhausting bumper build I've been working on. I spent some time looking around at the different bumpers available online, but decided that's a lot of money, and why not use the opportunity to do something new...

    Rear Crossmember Replacement Poll Time

    Hey This has probably been discussed before, but searching hasn't found me anything specific. I'm coming up with ideas for building a new rear bumper, and am contemplating removing the rear crossmember in order to make something fit a bit more snug. Bumper will likely end up being 3/16"...

    Consensus on Following FSM re: HDFT Compression Check, eyc

    I'm putting together a batch of parts and tools to do a bit of inspecting of my engine in the near future; specifically valve clearances, compression test and having a look at the state of the injectors. Since there's no glow plugs on this more, i get to pull a lot apart In the process. In...

    Double Shear Tire Carrier Hinge/Spindle Question

    Hey So, having a bit of trouble finding an answer for this. On my last vehicle I built a rear bumper and did the "great big bolt through some bronze bushings thing" for a hinge, and it worked OK. Wasn't pretty or anything. Now that I have a Cruiser, I want to do something nicer. I was...

    1HDFT 3" Exhaust Questions

    So, a short bit of backstory. Truck is a 95 HDJ81, exhaust is new(er) 3" from the cat back, and was put on in Japan before I got the vehicle here. The section from the turbo dump to the cat is still the old 2.5". In the "two birds with one stone" school of thought, I'm getting rid of the...

    Boost Probe Install Question

    Hey guys, I got me one of those Glow Shift 3 in 1 Diesel gauges to use on my 1HDFT motor. Normally they were excessively pricey, but I found a Diesel shop that shipped free, so it ended up only being $230CAD. I'm just putting together my plan of action for the install of the probes that are...
