Technically, it was only supposed to take 5 minutes, but i got sidetracked.

 

Good tune:


Interesting video

 

F@CK!

 

^^^ Froze and split or? Well pump?

 

That is a good question. It just happened a few minutes ago.

It's for the boiler heater.

Found a replacement for $130.35 locally, cheaper online, but not by much.

 

Cerc pump for radiant heat. Could be a steam fracture if the pump failed.

 

LOL. TFT Matrix is a special type of LCD screen. Much better contrast, sharper colors, and better 3D. IBM is the almost exclusive user of them.


There are three main types of spark plug wires: Street (Red), Strip (Yellow), and Racing (Blue). The color codes are from the brand I use (Belden, which is carried at most NAPA stores). They are all listed as 8MM wires, but there is a difference. Street uses a metallic conductor. I do not know what conductor strip uses, because I have never needed to use spark plug wires in a strip application. The Racing grade (Blue) is a 8MM non-metallic conductor, with extra shielding. It has a larger core than most standard wires, thus enabling it to transmit higher voltage. I chose this because it is a significant improvement over most street styles with the different core, better insulation, and higher capacity. Between the racing and premium street styles, I have noticed a big difference in spark strength. It's ideal for running a stronger coil too. Here's the set I got: http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...614_0267518052

I did the kegger mod when I replaced the plenum plate and gasket. That was before the transmission went out.

I'm trying to find the picture LOL. I'm certain I posted a pic somewhere on DF, but can't seem to find it.

What difference did it make? For one it got my power band in a acceptible location (2500-3500RPM, instead of over 4000RPM). I also replaced my heads while I was at this, so the heads might have made a difference. And I also put on true dual exhaust. So how much effect the plenum mod exactly had, I don't know. It was enough reduction in restriction in the intake that it cause the MAP sensor vacuum reading to cause the computer to think it is under load (I verified this with a OTC tool). So be careful - you'll need a tune to compensate for this if it happens. This is why my truck is running rich too. All in all, I would do the plenum mod even if it didn't seem to make a difference. I am also running a 180* tstat without a tune and having no problems with it.

So bottom line here, whatever the combination of the above, it had a amazing effect on the performance. Before it was always slow to accelerate - after, it would put-you-back in the seat with ease. But that was probably why the transmission went out shortly thereafter.

Helpful explanation?

 

@merc: What happened is I was in the kitchen running water and water pressure was terrible, almost none.

Went outside and heard water, there's a screw cape a little further up the piping that had either been blown out or came loose, and water was gushing out of it, so I screwed it back in, wasn't sure what had happened, so I turned the boiler on, it ran fine (and still does) and then I heard water again, and the case was cracked on the Circulator.

 

Yeah, thats a nasty lookin crack! Might want to get that replaced hahaha

Or......

 

^ now that's funny.
