I'm hoping to get some further ideas on where to look for a solution to this issue: Truck was running fine after having the tune checked and tweaked where it had originally been built and tuned. It started to run a bit rough out of the blue one day, and stayed that way. I noticed at the...

Didn't have time to do a leak down, but did a compression test. All cylinders are between 160 and 170. Also, I changed all of the O2's. They were looking pretty badly contaminated. The AFR gauges are reading much more responsively. That said, the bank with two broken plugs is running...

Don't recall the model, but they're NGKs. After reading up, I'm inclined to believe that it's detonation as well. A couple of the pistons did show carbon accumulations. I'll work from here. Up the octane, and consider a different heat range. One thing of note, I do remember that...

I just can't stop laughing about that this morning. I appreciate anyone's good-natured ribbing about this. After a mentally and physically draining week, then working at the shop on the truck for several hours, I was just brain dead. Hoping that the things go back together well this...

Now. If only I could find the start button... :D

OMFG! This has to be THE dumbest thing I've ever done. I haven't driven the truck in months, and was dead tired after getting plugs out from around all of the turbos and associated plumbing. Let the ridiculing commence!! :rock:

I'm finally getting TT in and tearing into the engine to sort out why it's running so poorly. First step (and hard as hell with the turbos in the way) is pulling the plugs. Numbers 1, 3 and 10 all have broken ground electrodes. One actually has a broken ceramic insulator at the tip as well...

Greets. It's been awhile! I have the '05 TT in the garage sorting out what's causing the engine to run poorly (see another new thread in a few minutes). I hopped into the cab to bump the engine to bring some of the pistons up for a closer look with the bore scope, and the key won't go to...

That's a solid truck and a great deal. I still want to get a QC at some point, and wish I were ready now! GLWS, Scott!

Winter: the season that comes in between the other two well-known seasons, both of which are named "Road Construction". ;)

Better still is getting it to a garage, preferably one who specializes in suspension and alignment. I've logged loads of hours under mine but would still have someone else check that out.

Looks great! Appears that there's tons of room for exhaust too! :rock:

I'm also going to sell a '68 R/T Charger project. Good straight sheet metal that doesn't require a ton of work, although the wheel wells and rear quarter wheel well lips have been cut for big tire fitment. Some of the interior sheet metal was also removed to drop weight. Good frame. Comes...

Thought I'd share the info on one of the cars I'm parting with. I have a nicely built '67 Dart GT that I'm listing. The car has a fresh 528 Indy Hemi that was built for boost. The car is listed on RJ: https://www.racingjunk.com/Dodge/182575603/1967-Dodge-Dart.html PM me if you'd like...

Was it a Viper station wagon, by chance? I think those were equipped with an auto trans. :p
