Unless a PO did something (not likely) my tranny is stock. I've got 150K on the truck with the mods below. All mods have been done since I owned it starting at 94,000. I tow ocassionally up to 10-20K. So far no troubles, but the stock TQ is evident when starting from a stop...which makes me wonder - I'll start another post about this .

 

I got my 366 from performance truck products. They have a web site and are fast on shipping. Also they have other first gen parts available.

 

do you have a web site for the performance truck products. searched for it but didn't find anything i could use.

Also i see in the sticky posted how to install the spring but it looks a little harder than what i want to get into. what are yalls thoughts on it. is it and ok job for someone with a little wrench skills?

Thanks,
Eric

 

Ok now i think i am a little lost. i was thinking that the fuel pin and screw were the same thing but after looking more at the sticky treads they are two different things. i think i am just gonna send it to the shop to get the fuel pump turned up. its starting to look like it a little more than i can handle.

...okay, well apparantly I cannot make any reference to our business....

 

You probably already know this, but Hamilton Diesel in Liberty Hill is a good shop. Zach Hamilton is a nice guy, and really knows his stuff. He turned the pump up on my truck before I learned to do it myself. You can do it yourself, it really isn't that bad, but it can be a little intimidating the first time.

 

If you don't think you can do it, and you do decide to take it to a shop, I think you should see if they will let you watch how to do all the work. Once you see how it is done, you will be surprised how easy these things are to work on. Don't be afraid to ask questions either.

 

yeah i picked upthe truck today and it started right up but ran rough and died about 5 mins later, i cracked the injectors and found alot of air in it. i haven't bled it all out yet but if i can't get it running tomorrow i will drop it off at Hamilton mid next week. it looks like crap but i didn't buy it for the the body i got it for the motor that why i call it my JUNKER.

Thanks,
Eric

 

Zach Hamilton is a cool layed back guy. I don't think he would mind you watching him work on your truck. With these trucks, if you do it once, the next time is usually a breeze.

 

Another good thing to do with a 1st gen is to check the intercooler boots for boost leaks, or just replace them outright. If you can find them, the silicone ones are much better than the stock rubber ones, and will far outlast them.
