My understanding is that the archoil is more for cleaning, and I wouldn’t expect that to help anything in new or rebuilt ip/injectors. If it has a really good lubricating property, ok. But the idea of moly into the fuel or heavy dose of atf can do the same. But that should only help with...

My nephew has the 1986 6.2 k2500 and handshaker transmorgifier. the occasional trail is the worst of it the truck should get. Even mix of city/hiway driving and he doesn’t try to go fast. No towing to speak of, occasionally (once a year for 30 miles) a car trailer with a pickup on it. It’s...

Aren’t they new injectors? Shouldn’t need cleaning for 30k miles or so…

That guy comes to vegas for sand collection when he breaks a window… Holy moly. At least improve the design

I know the gmt 800 sealed ones lasted for ever. And yes in the fleet the original ones always lasted longer in the gmt400 than the replacements, idk why. Makes me wonder if if it was different interior design or different grease or what… Idk if the originals were Delco. Remember, they lake...

Something about Moog: https://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/moog-k500247 It might be worth the lifetime warranty if you eat them every 30,000 miles regardless of mfr. maybe get ahold of their engineering guys and chat about other options. Something I learned in hummer world- all street...

Have you tried both greasable and sealed?

How many miles do you guys get out of them. I can’t remember any issues of them wearing out real soon so long as they get greased ok. I know a couple guys who used to pop off the boot, use a penetrating oil flush out any old grease then grease it &put boot back on. Doing that once each 50k...

Cat definitely uses split lock washers, internal and external lock washers. They just don’t use them everywhere. Only where needed and the best type for the area. Old cats vibrated so bad that they had a ton of problems with split lock washers breaking, then the bolt/ nut loosens up. When at...

Because they are on a lot of vehicles.

Manual transmission? Also, please fill out signature line so we can keep diagnostics straight.

Arp studs work well…

Ok. Correct there is no optic sensor. You have a fully mechanical ip (injection pump). The TPS (throttle position sensor) is exactly for the TCM (transmission control module) to help control when the trans shifts. Adjusting the TPS: Key on, engine off. Battery needs to have 12.6 volts...

Please post multiple pictures of your two pumps, including the id plates. There is some confusion in the numbers and descriptions.

The glow plug relay. Looks. Same as 6.2/6.5 early years. Is it the same or did you just use a 6.5 on there?
