    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    More probable part built overseas and stuffed in a made in USA box, or assembled in USA from foreign parts.

    Even Bill Heath ran my FTB when he set the record to beat at Bonneville https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/1006dp-500hp-65l-diesel-race-engine

    Chinese 6.5 block

    Yes I hatched it, several have since copied and making $$$ on it, I wasn't smart enough to patent it. :confused:

    GMx turbo upgrades for towing heavy, worth it?

    Thank for replies, I'm not sure which PCM I'm running or tune in it, I have multiple PCMs with different tunes, I'll have to check it out when I get home. I opted on side of caution not wanting to "beat up my truck" with miles more to go, plus being 8 hours away from home, and 6 hours to go to...

    GMx turbo upgrades for towing heavy, worth it?

    If you have been following my posting last couple of days, you might have picked up on that I have left the "flat-lands" and have ventured North via I-10 from MS to I-65 in Mobile AL, to I-85 Montgomery to Atlanta, then I-295, to US-23N into NC bound for Swannanoa NC where I am at present on a...

    96 timing issue possibly

    Yes, pulley hub goes flush with pump shaft, just be sure to not cross thread the installer/"pully pusher" bolt on internal threads in the pump shaft (don't ask how I know this) :arghh:.

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    Thank you for that, I've always been a little OCD about knowing machinery I work on/own, plus many nights staying at Motel Sixes helped if you remember that old commercial :happy:

    Chinese 6.5 block

    Since I just popped back in this afternoon, out of curiosity I'm reviewing some of the more interesting older threads. I have been running a CKO block since 2015 about 50K on it now, I have been away from the 6.5 community for a while, needed to look up some info I had written years ago abut IP...

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    Thanks for the welcome; I wonder if it was a late 95 build but sold as 96, my 98 is late 97 build but listed as a 98, there was a crossover if memory serves correctly where they had the filter as you said in yours. I'll have to look up in my library of old 6.5 info; as I think Diesel Page...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    What Have I done for my "Beast lately"....getting ready to travel from MS to NC Ashville/Black mountain area work with a MS Baptist Disaster relief Team to restore some houses still without power or water from last Sept. flood to say that pisses me off is an understatement. Anyway it has been...

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    That "Block/noise filter" is on the OBD-I IP's not OBD-II 96+ years trucks, some have taken off without incident others it has hurt running without them, all I have ever run is OBD-II so I do not have a lot of "been there, done that" on OBD-Is other than to help others that have them.

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    "They did ??? who did the timing reset??? If at a "Stealership" and not a 6.5 knowledgeable tech, they may not have done it correctly. I have been having oddities ( rough idle, hard start when cold, and rpm jump/stumble in reverse) in mine after last GM dealer IP install a couple of years ago...
