  945 broken temp gauge

  By Brix

  Hi everyone, I recently bought a 945 turbo diesel with around 500k kilometers on it. I'm looking for advice concerning the temp gauge, which jumps to the middle when I turn on the ignition then never moves. I'm about to order a new temp sensor but I've read that the problem often lies with the gauge itself/the instrument cluster. Found some guides on how to test the sensor and the gauge, but only for the ones found on a gas engine, with the 2-wire LH2.4 032 sensor. The one on my D24TIC only... Read more

  Alternator outputting 14.5v on 6.7 Cummins

  By nlambert182

  Truck has been doing this on and off for about a year, but with the kid situation I haven't had time to thoroughly diagnose it. On hot or cold days I'll sometimes get the battery low indicator in the EVIC when I start the truck. I can read alternator and battery voltage on my tuner display and it shows my batteries at 12.7V with the key on, engine off and shows that my alternator voltage is at 14.5V with the truck running, where it normally runs at 15.3V. I put brand new batteries in the... Read more

  240 LH2.4 lean AFR

  By hessam69

  Greetings. I have a 1992 240 in 100% standard condition. I took it to get dyno tested because it seemed like it was down on power. The dyno operator mentioned he thought the AFR was way too lean and when we looked at the figures, he’s right. At the start of the power run, AFR was at 14.0, by 3,700 rpm it was up to 15.1, at 4,100 rpm came down to 14.7, the it went richer after that around 13.8 til redline where it stayed around 13.6. Is this too lean and if so where should I begin to... Read more

  Driver seat adjustment bar coming out of track (2016 Civic)

  By cwradio

  The driver-side manual front seat adjustment handle bar on my 2016 Honda Civic EX has come out of its track. I inspected underneath the seat and discovered that the lever spring is broken. Currently, I can still slide the seat forward and backward as long as I do not pull the adjustment handle bar forward toward the front of the car, which causes it to completely detach from the track. However, lifting the adjustment handle bar straight up safely engages the mechanism and allows me to adjust... Driver seat adjustment bar coming out of track (2016 Civic)

  Finally added a stout to the fleet

  By Builtbybudski

  Been looking for the perfect truck to build and after years finally found one that was within reasonable drive to go grab. Picked up this non-running New Mexico 67 from a property outside of OKC. Little bummed with the damage but it’s repairable and complete. It’s been swapped with a bigger engine (90 whopping horsepower) and 4 speed on the floor. Plans are to fix the front and fender, drop it on a late 90s 2wd Tacoma chassis and swap in a 3sge beams with 6 speed for a fun street truck/shop... Read more

  Tire Pressures

  By MTmadman

  Might I assume that the vehicle tire pressure readings are useless. I filled all my tires to the same pressure - 46lbs - max pressure being 51lbs, using a $4 gauge from Walmart but the vehicle readings are all different and lower than my hand gauge readings. ( LF 41 / RF 40 / LR 42 / RR 43 ) I went to 46lbs as I don’t particularly trust my hand gauge, I have two of them and they each give me a different reading (+/- 3 lb) Since I put the same pressure in each tire you would think the...
