    Crossed over yesterday

    As do I, several around here with them saying mixed bag kind of like 6.5s, I was looking seriously at Turbo Max gasser as well, deal was right on the 3.0 and I don't normally do extended warranty, but did this time just in case I do have issues, about 4 K miles from expiration of chassis factory...

    Walbro Lift Pump Fail

    Has anybody ever found source part # of the in tank "sock" gasser socks do fit but do not have the bypass check valve in the end in case cold weather "gells fuel" over gasser style screen. I kept mine as it is 70 micron protection that the 6 micron on engine would have to manage unless you also...

    HydroBoost and Brake Lamp switch Clip.

    I have rebuilt 2 of the HB units with the kit from Pirate Jack https://piratejack.net/hydro-boost-rebuild-kits/ one thing you have to watch for is correct rod length, and config of your HB some have a threaded rod end, and others you have to cut and reweld back after the rebuild, depending on...

    Suggestions welcome

    Good advise here thus far, if you are unclear what your rigs configuration is, look in the glove box if still legible, there should be a sticker with the RPO codes that will tell you what options your Burb came with, multiple RPO code converters on the web to put cod to a description what it...

    Banks confirms the WarWagon ATT tests

    I like the dual pressure reading across the FFM in/out in your signature. I did a a vac. switch to light up LED on gauge pod to let me know it is getting dirty, but I think I will be adding a second or a DP gauge setup to get a numerical value for full or partial blockage across the filter...

    Banks confirms the WarWagon ATT tests

    WoW agreed it does feel so much better to be validated over being vilified, a shame the "haters" made some of us feel no longer welcome here.

    Yes delivered fuel pressure to IP will tell us a Lot, you can have bad fuel and plugged filter at any time, lift pumps known to fail as well. I got bit by weak lift pump myself earlier this summer in May doing some disaster relief volunteer work in NC mountains near Ashville, truck ran like a...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Or more fuel, what are you running for a lift pump? I got bit myself in May when doing disaster relief work in NC mountains, fI orgot to look at my IP fuel inlet pressure gauge @ a hair above 0 running factory lift pump, kicked in my Walbo running in parallel with the factory IP inlet back to...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Fuel starvation, bad/weak lift pump, in tank sock plugged, fuel filter in engine bay getting dirty, I don't know if 6.2 fuel tanks are internally baffled like later trucks have, but if the baffle has moved and fuel level is low the sump part of the baffle flopping around could lead to...

    1994 K3500 extended cab dually

    Looks like you know your way around metal. Im liking what I see and wish we were closer, have you considered add in some metal stiffening across the "C" frame in stress areas, basically making it "square tube/box beam" , I did that on a rotten frame repair on my 1990 GMC C1500s frame.
