    OBD-1 scan tool, any one know where to get a USB to OBD-1 (12 pin) cable, or tried (16 pin) OBD-2/USB to (12)pin OBD-1 conversion "jumper cable"

    So I got in touch with Stefan Engh the writer for the GMTD scan tool, he did not say yea or nay about the 16-12 pin connector converter just This is the one you need and it was the $70 cable, so it is inbound. Next question, the IP on the truck (95 C1500 Burb) that was leaking fuel was a 5068...

    Thank you I may take you up on that, somewhere around here I have a Westers tuning kit that may have one in it as well, but it has been so long since I played with that I'm clueless where it might be. Maybe I can make one, or modify one of those 16 pin USB-OBD-2, to 12 pin OBD 1 connectors work.

    I have a friend (A) of a friend (B), that bought a 95, 6.5 C1500 Burb, "B" decided for poor performance, & leaking fuel from fuel solenoid (I think) that he needed to change IP, and PCM at same time. Friend "A", told him "I know a good 6.5 guy" me, I wished they has called 1st but already into...

    DS4 IP experts

    Something I did not see in your timing sequence, did to have ECT above 170F commanded TDCO will not occur on a cold engine, it has been a moment since I worked an OBD-I, but for sure OBD-II requires that. The way I set for -1.94 TDCO is to set base time in time set to-3.8/-4. vs. factory -3.5...

    Fuel system setup

    Paul I think possibly what you are seeing with the Metrium is due to shape of the fuel tank. I have the std 26 gal tank on mine, when I did Metrium years ago; I filled the tank 2 gallons at a time it took 6 gallons of fuel from empty to move float, which is about right considering the baffle...

    Electronical Fuel Pressure Gauge

    Basically an impulse pump that self regulates flow delivery rate, which can cause a mechanical gauge to pulse at low demand, it stays steady at higher demand and part of reason I have (2) the factory 32gph, and the Walbro FRB-5 45 gph on mine I can select 1 or other or both running parallel to...

    Build for member John S

    Who would have thunk decades after the venerable 6.2/6.5 platform was deemed a POS by all that thought they new everything; so many would still be on the road, with more power out of them than prevailing wisdom thought possible. I'm still loving my 1st one a 98 6.5 that I have owned 2000, my...

    Fuel system setup

    For other readers Snow & I chatted on the phone earlier today I have been on storm disaster recovery mission work again since last Sunday, he was a little mixed up in his understanding of filtration the smaller the # the more finer the filtration, I still run the 70 micron "sock" on mine, into a...

    Fuel system setup

    I tried to post this additional comment, but time to edit had expired. OEM "socks" are washable remember Mom always said "wear clean socks", but with the vintage of these trucks you may want to have a new OEM style in hand, just in case the mesh of screen is no longer pliable or already broken.

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Humorous & sad (for me) so many "experts" back in the day telling me FTB was waste of time when I came up with the idea, and now so many out there selling kits for it (sadly) I didn't think to patent/sell it, one of the Nay-sayers early on was Bill Heath, yet he wound up with it on the LSR at...

    Fuel system setup

    Ryan give me a holler you have my # I have been running Metrium rod for 10+ years with OEM sock which is 70 micron BTW, but I also run a 30 micron Racor filter/water sep. on frame rail prior to lift pumps, and stock 6 micron nominal (factory rating) in the FFM relocated to driver side fender on...
