    5.3 swap done cheap...ish

    Its been like that since day 1. which has only been one wheeling trip and one time ripping around the neighborhood. Unfortunately I didnt even know I could monitor the fuel trims until I read about it in your thread. I now have gauges setup for them in my torque. On our wheeling trip I was...

    I was curious if that was the situation. Thanks for that info. i will give it a go. so you let the rtv completely dry before you put them back on? interesting.

    They are Hooker headers. The actually mating surface is raised by about 1/8" They basically stick the tubes through the flange by a bit, weld around them, and then grind/sand flat. This is how the headers my buddy just bought for his 6.0 are as well.

    ok 5.3 guys, I have something I wanted to run by you. I have had a terrible exhaust leak on my drivers side header. I finally pulled it off and this is what i found. The manifold gasket has holes in it that are considerably larger than the ports on the head and the header primaries. so large...

    My fan is on a switch right now but definitely needs a temp switch. Last wheeling trip the highest temp i saw was 200 and that was after blasting around on the dirt roads at around 4000rpm for around 10 minutes. It was only about 60* outside that day so we will see how she does when the days...

    sounds basic but have you verified you have the fluid flowing through the cooler in the correct direction? in the bottom out the top?

    The HUD works pretty good in dim light but in direct sunlight it was basically invisible with my tablet. it is a cool feature of torque though.

    I agree to an extent but i enjoy the piece of mind of a professional doing my tune. and like i said the 150 gets you tunes for life. so making changes for cam, heads etc is a nill point. any changes you make you get a new tune for free. The op seems like a very diy kinda guy though so im sure...

    98xj 5.3 swap (the poverty method).

    I found a pid online and got oil pressure to work on my 6.0 in my 2004 Chevy but i have never gotten it to work on my 2002 5.3 in the jeep. I have been told that the signal is more of a dummy than an accurate reading on some of the ecus. I havent spent much time with it though If you are...
