Good afternoon my fellow 6.5 aficionado's, looking for some thoughts, I spent part of the day talking with Will, shared with him what I have done thus far, drained fuel filters no water found in the Racor on frame rail or the in engine bay OEM FFM, ( I still plan to swap the elements just for...

I have a Ford 78 535 backhoe/loader, found all the old manuals here https://www.ebay.com/str/peacefulcreek oddly enuff Ford has a set for the tractor, the loader, and the backhoe, 3 different sets of books mind you, but Peaceful Creek had them.

Not the same baro reads vacuum, MAP reads pressure, different part #s and indexed differently in connector socket. in F engine trucks the baro reading happens via MAP sensor at start PCM stores that value and then reads boost pressure after start. In S trucks the baro is 2nd sensor mounted on...

Fuel Solenoid Driver/FSD (actual function) is what I call them after removing from IP, mine mounts on heat sink inside my Buck Stop Bumper, I keep a spare in the truck pre mounted to a plate on case I need to swap out, I can just swap to the spare one and put in bumper, permanent mount later if...

I haven't played with CTS/Optic yet, the one thing that "taunts me" is the constant high boost level 15+ psi indicated in red on the scanner with truck running at idle or with engine off & key on, no other codes present. According to text in my DS4 training manual , and troubleshooting from...

My 1st thought as well, oddly when observing data trend on scan tool, this Topdon lets me graph 6 parameters real time, while holding steady state rpm 1800-ish rpm in driveway, all parameters stable, desired and actual timing match, 3 psi boost on gauge, no active codes showing after clearing...

Returns are per GM back to the tank, most of the time I'm running single GM lift 32gph pump, I still have a mechanical gauge on the line, if I see due to heavy load I will swap over to the 45 gph Walbro FRB-5, or both if loaded and climbing a mountain

My tee is at the outlet of the FFM before the IP my FFM is on the inner fender driver side on 2 pieces of 1/2"-13thread, clamped thru the fender with washers & double nuts, and "ears" on the FFM mount, both lift pumps running or single lift pumps make no change but I will verify rubber hose into...

Run through this even with FASS if your tank sock is plugged up you may not be getting fuel to IP, https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/lift-pumps-ops-operation-and-troubleshooting.6872/ also check gnd and power to the FASS pump those are pretty loud you should hear it running. Where/how...

Some may or may not remember the origin of "Crawl..Crawl.... Stagger ....Stagger" this is how my 98 K1500 has been running since yesterday It had been running fine locked in cruise control for about 100 miles @ 70-75 mph 2500-2600 rpm, then it started to stumble badly, like a load of crap...

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...

If you have a gasser Canyon or Colorado here is a nice tune for it, it was on the truck I traded in https://www.trifectaperformance.com/

Yes traded it, it was nice 3rd one down the list here https://www.longlewis.com/used-inventory/index.htm?normalDriveLine=4WD&year=2020 black at 58,8K on odometer, I had mild Trifecta Tune in it usually 26 mpg on highway, 22 mpg avg city/highway combined. I wasn't really needing new truck...

Just picked up a 2024 3.0L GMC 1500 4x4 CC with 32K on odometer yesterday, so far so good drove 300 miles to go get it, have put 350 on it driving back and local driving last night. Traded my 2020 GMC "gasser" Canyon on it, liked the Canyon, but Loving this truck so far. It has room and...

Well been a long time coming I guess; getting my immersion to DMax engines, I traded my 2020 Canyon "gasser" for a 2024 Sierra with 3.0L Dmax 32K miles on odometer, it was 4 hours to go get it, had a very fun ride driving it home good power and acceleration mpg if onboard mileage meter is...
