    cold start

    the white smoke could just be from condensation in the ex pipe...very common running rough usually indicates un-even cylinder pressure, there are some useful fixes for that....you might even try checking/re-adjusting valve lash(just as important as tolerance between piston and bore), it's...

    What kind of heater, It's cold outside

    I've seen freeze plug heaters, oil dipstick heaters, fuel line heaters, even big magnetic heaters that stick to your oil pan underneath to warm the oil....any thoughts?

    TH400 sprung a leak

    I would use great stuff instead if a gasket ( let it setup for 30 minutes or so before installing, and a new oil seal for the tranny to transfer leak. Then you shouldn't ever have to do it again:!:

    Fuel injector or Inj.Pump problem,i think

    Is it possible that it has 114,000...mine is almost as clean as they come and has 74000 or 174000. With the assumption that it has over 100k, the only thing I can think of would be carbon and maybe 2 much crap in the cylinders to be cleaned by a single bottle of injector cleaner. I will admit...

    Failed turbo install

    About the turbo....my friend happen to be sitting by the computer I had left on yesterday...and now I remember what he said about the turbo issues. Check the waste gate, it is the only good reason that it wont spool up, he's good with the cummins so hopefully there's something there.:idea:

    I hate the Smell of Maple Syrup

    I had to do the heater core in my 03' S-10..... it took 18 hours. I could probably cut that down to 12 now that I have done it once. I think GM's book time to do it is 12 or more!:wink:

    Whre does the idiot light connect?

    I want to say front one, but I cannot perfectly remember... sorry
  13. 4bogginchevys

    Only 15 mpg and hot to touch front hubs!

    If your real handy you can pop out the pistons in the caliper and use some very fine emery to clean them up...I believe you can still buy that big o-ring for them too. by the way, you'll get great results from synthetic grease

    M1008 14 bolt upgrade??

    first off the 14 bolt is better than the 70 because of the pinion support bearing also it was pretty rare to see 70s in chevy trucks anywhere 73-87 so it was probably a 14 If the camper special truck was 2 wheel drive with automatic tranny was most likely 4.10 gears but could have been 3.73s...
