    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    As a Canadian who live in a province that doesn't salt our roads (we have WAY less rust than Ontario or Quebec), I couldn't live without it. My 4WAL has definitely saved me from a crash at least once. Even with fully studded hakkapeliitta tires, the icy conditions in my mountainous town are...

    Spring coolant top up

    When I lived in Manitoba where it hits -45 once or twice a year, I was driving a Subaru and it needed a maybe 50-100ml top up every year. I always worried my head gaskets were about to go, but they never did. Now I live in the Yukon, and I drive a Yukon, and it hits -50 a handful of times a...

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    FSM should have a pinout that tell you exactly what every pin is used for. That would be the only place I trust for info like that.

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    I'm an idiot. I failed to recognize that "functional test" is a command made by the scanner. I thought it was just making sure your bleed worked. Sorry to anyone I have misled.

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    https://www.motor.com/magazine-summary/nuts-bolts-kelsey-hayes-4wal-june-1998/ Bleeding the BPMV is rather complex on the Kelsey-Hayes 4WAL system. A pressure or vacuum bleeder is preferred over using the brake pedal for this procedure. If the pedal must be used, consider removing the master...

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    Has anyone messed around with the manual and bleed procedure? On the 4WAL there's a pair of 10mms on the side of the module, and the high pressure valves in the front need to be held down (there's a Kent tool # for holddowns) then you can use the bleeder screws on top of the unit. Seems like...

    1999 L31 Engine with nearly 260k, Timing chain plus what else?

    If you do the timing chain I would count on doing the pan gasket. It always breaks off where it meets the timing cover when that comes off.

    Crank relearn and cam retard offset question

    I'm not 100%, but I think setting the CMP retard is a function of timing, crank sensor, and cam sensor. If none of those things has changed, I would assume its still ok. Dash command is an ok app to have on hand. With a cheap amazon Bluetooth OBD2 you can check CMP retard at home.

    Building a stroker motor

    I like hearing this. The generally accepted limit of the stock spider seemed to be around 400hp. I'm currently working on a 383 with the stock mfpi spider and a very mildly ported stock intake/throttle body. Did you install a larger fuel pump to feed the beast?

    Motor and Transmission Mounts

    I noticed Off Road Design (ORD), and Schumacher Metal Works both made a race style motor mount. Lots of steel, not a lot of rubber/polyurethane. Seems like a race/extreme duty kind of part, but with no good OEM type options available, has anyone tried these?

    U bolt plates

    I have this kit on the shelf right now, waiting for my 14B swap. Seems like a much improved design over the stock dirt holders.

    Apps that read CMP Retard Offset?

    I spent a few days messing around with this, and was never able to make it work. I broke down and purchased dash command and the pod package for my vehicle and it worked right away. I figure my time and suffering is worth 20 bucks.

    Weird question about a bypass filter

    Just change the oil. Bypass makes sense on tractor trailers, when your engine takes 15 gallons. Our trucks... not so much.

    Anyone Tried Cunningham OBS- tie rod sleeves

    Have them. Great product. Nice to support a small business making cool parts for our trucks. Get the door bushings and a rag joint delete while you're at it.

    Apps that read CMP Retard Offset?

    Torque pro has the best layout of any of these apps, by far (but the bar is set awfully low). I have used it for many things, but I was unable to get it to to CMP Retard. There are threads out there with the "recipe" to add it as a new PID, but I spent days struggling to make it work. Finally...
