I pulled the heat riser off my old manifold and found this stuff caked in it. It's black and crumbly and little oily. Is it carbon buildup and/or crap from blow-by? Is this a sign of more problems ? :confused:
Alright, this is from my dad and its a good thinker. He has a 99 Ram with the 5.9 V8 with about 88,000 and he is going through oil like crazy! He checked the oil last friday and then checked it today and it was almost 3 quarts low :eek: Now...
i dont understand the whole back pressure in exhaust deal, i have heard a lot of people nonchalantly claim this, but if you look at a lot of dragsters that are pushing un"dyno"able power, they have about 12-18 inches of exhaust, not much "back...

When I got down here, we decided it was time to do an oil change on Erica's truck. It was last changed up in Fairbanks last May before we drove down, using Mobil 1 and an oversized filter (Purolator PureONE PL24458). The milage hadn't gone over (she...
Well, a few months ago we were driving home from FBNX late and as we were passed the S. Cushman onramp, it died. Seemed as if a head gasket blew. We replaced it and put a new water pump on while we were at it. We found that the #7 cylinder...
Edited Nevermind. Sleep dprevation and forgetting to take my medicine causes me to ask dumb questions.

Does anyone make one or know what size pullys to use for the 4.0? I know Jet makes one but its for the V8. I've been thinking about doing this but can't seem to find anything on it.
What's the rule on that thing? I'm ak 105k on my ZJ, but the service schedule doesn't recommend a mileage to replace it.
Ok I will try to ask in here and see if anybody responds, I have a Chevy 4.3 Vortech that stopped running yesterday, it will crank but not start, the fuel gauge is pegged at over full (just now after it died) and a few days ago the shifter position...

No not any of you on the board. I need a tranny dipstick. I had got one from a guy that he said was the right length but no it wasn't. I have an AW4. If anyone has one or knows where to get one let me know.
For 2 days in a row i've had my oil dipstick push out and blow oil everywhere,Gene's told me it's due to the PCV Valve freezing up from the condinsation and building up the pressure to blow it out,has any one else had this problem?
Well Gab's blazer is still leaking oil. It still seems to be coming from one of the breathers like it did before. We had capped on breather off but had to leave one for pressure relief. I just don't know what to do about it. I was told that maybe...
