http://www.ihavecrabs.com/images/lda.jpg http://www.ihavecrabs.com/images/lda2.jpg I started messing with the max fuel screw on the back of the pump in an attempt to get more power and now there is fuel dripping from the LDA vacuum port. I popped the cover off and found the LDA full of fuel and it ...

Running stock exhaust. I had the subframe out a little while back and noticed the exhaust pipe was ovaled coming out of the turbo. She gets some good wind out the tailpipe though.

I'll start ...

Has syncro disc brakes all around and many other improvements. She'll go another 300,000 before the body dies. She pulls my 2000lb homemade ...

So I've been on this forum on and off for several years and I am a diesel owner for almost a year now. I FINALLY got done reading Hagar's 120+ age post and I am now running paraffin in my diesel (working good so far.). I also build things in my spare time and I have just completed a 2000 lb. camper ...
