Hi all just trying to find some help for a mates rodeo. 04 RA rodeo td and everytime he gets it wet the motor looses all power and the turbo will barely spool. He has a snorkel and is not getting any water inside the intake, is there any sensors or something along those line that would cause this ...

just had a wheel alignment on my soa fj40 and the caster was about + 2.5deg got all new tie rod ends and bushes. it drives nice and straight and doesn't pull around but if i turn it left it will stay left and not return to center and same right. i have a hd return shock on it and it makes no ...

yeah, got a split case from a 47 i think, havent done much with it since been replacing all steering with hi-steer from locktup and new spring shocks and not to mention the motor went bang. just got it back on the road from that, still finishing a few thing on it tho (it never ends)

i just got a Holley offroad 780cfm, its on my mild 350 chev but i haven't had a chance to take it off road yet but they are supposed to be really good.
You have to have a high vacuum signal to run them properly, so a dirty big cam in a v8 is not a great idea.

so how does all of this go with soa. Are you still looking to get around the 3-5 deg mark, where do you get the longer spring center pins from?.
