    LCM getting ready to blow - who to buy from?

    Just shipped mine to him this week along with eatc. Don't know if he still has a spare unit.

    What did you do to your car today?

    I have the brackets and lines, asked Jerry (lji372) about the calipers after receiving brakets and didn't hear back. I may have messed up the PM, or he wasn't doing more. Was extra broke at the time so put it on the back burner. Relatively soon the kit will get done with plain calipers, and I...

    2007 F350 6.0 Harley Edition

    Joe, ohh where do I start? Egr is generally the biggest problem. Extended idling can cause carbon buildup in the intake and makes the egr valve stick. The factory head bolts are tty and can stretch leading to head gasket failure. Hydraulic electric unit injection system develops oil leaks...

    Looks good. Congratulations and welcome. Can we assume that you have, or will remove the Lexus license plate frame?

    2007 F350 6.0 Harley Edition

    May be easier to find power seats from a lariat or limited excursion and then put Harley seat covers on them. How does it run? Fixing 6.0s is one of my specialties. Pm me if you have any questions.

    Rear mount turbo build

    What's the plan for the inlet side? I believe that the f body setup had the air filter under the car and water was a concern/ issue.

    trailering car to shop, have a few questions

    Never hurts to ask. Little late now but I have short straps with metal loops on the end for strapping the vehicle down by the wheels. I run a 2" strap through the loops and over the top of the tire. Have to watch that the metal loops don't bite the wheels or pinch a valve stem. I put them on...

    Rear mount turbo build

    Very nice! Looking forward to progress updates. I remember there being a rear mount turbo kit for 4th gen Camaro and firebird. Don't think it became very popular.

    Big Brakes on a not-so-big Budget? YEP

    I love getting the wrong parts in the right boxes. Almost as good as when hardware is missing because someone took it and returned the part. Please keep us updated, I also have the brackets and lines and would like calipers that don't say Corvette on them.

    Which clear coat for headlights

    What is the ambient humidity? Too much moisture in the air can get trapped in the clear and cause hazing that will not buff out.

    Mishimoto thermostat

    A very low temperature thermostat can cause more problems than it solves. The engine is designed and tuned to operate in a specific temperature range. In addition, the computer doesn't turn the fans on until 190°(iirc) unless programmed otherwise. There is a theory that a low temp thermostat...

    AC and master cylinder

    90% sure dorman is strictly aftermarket. Some of their stuff is great, some either doesn't fit or fails in record time. I reccomend oem unless you absolutely cannot afford it. Or unavailable.

    voltage issue with A/C?

    +1 justbob ^ I would start with checking battery connections, the connection at the alternator, test the battery, and alternator output. Where in nj are you? If not too far away I can help with diag in person.

    Headlight question

    Need to finish sand and polish on my lights. Took one side out, did a small test spot on the header panel and haven't gotten back to it. Whole front end looks mildly sandblasted.

    What did you do to your car today?

    Hand washed 3 weeks worth of tree sap and pollen off of my excursion and sho. Very jealous of my neighbors pole barns. Wish all my stuff fit inside. Last week the excursion developed a intermittent misfire, no cel. Had time to play with it yesterday, fuel pressure was good, cleaned the iac, no...
