    98 6.5 trouble

    Jeffy, welcome. PMD is suspect. But read & learn first: A low dollar code reader at a minimum should be owned. Dont buy one yet- lets learn more before spending money…. Never just start replacing parts aka firing the parts cannon. There is no faster way to go broke and create more issues as...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Funniest thing I heard of and used was a couple raw eggs. They cruise around the system and get poached when it gets sprayed out the leak. It doesn’t plug anything up and cleans out easily. I never heard of it till I had a bad water pump seal on a trip through death valley. Worked like a...

    That would be cool as valve covers. I hate to see the price of having some made.

    Cfpm

    Hey- awesome they could find it for you! Back years ago when i wrenched on them for my grub- that type of info was rare. I wasn’t in a freightliner dealership but the fleet I ran was a preferred customer for them buying several rigs yearly.

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

    No to the one in your picture. That is a piece of junk from a hummer/hmmwv. No block off. That belongs in the scrap bin. I haven’t destroyed mine just so I can teach from it. I should drill it full of holes to ensure no one ever uses it once I’m dead. I had the wrong part number for...

    Cfpm

    This site is more for pickups. But I and others put food on the table wrenching or driving big boy trucks. I doubt you’ll find an answer to the fan question. First you need to specify a fan. What engine, then which fan because an FL 60 is mighty different than say a new Cascadia. Then...

    ‘98 6.5 TD stalled while driving and current no start

    Absolutely bad fuel line is a super common issue. When you buy the new fuel line: SAE30R9 Modern diesel has ethanol/ methanol in it. Our old lines do not withstand it and deteriorate from the inside out. So from outside it can look and feel perfect. Having this grade line is not an option but...

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

    Gonna disagree about the dual vs single from experience. Having the block off thermostat is huge! But hummers use a single thermostat that is not a block off style and i tried it vs a dual stat and the single helped there also but very minimal. Once I he block off is in place - huge...

    cs130 to cs144

    I don’t know of any. I can’t remember seeing a cs144 on a 5.7. They were on 6.0 engines in certain applications, not all. How many of the brackets need to be changed for it all to work would be the next question. They are used on the diesels but bracket definitely do not cross over. Nor...

    2013 Escalade ESV w/ SLP TVS2300

    Why do I feel like there is a 6-71 for sale in SC somewhere? 🤣 Sucks to need that much effort for a simple sensor.

    cs130 to cs144

    It does not fit. Upper and lower brackets need altering. I used to recommend making the change but with improvements to alternators of last 15 years- I don’t. Unless you are getting a super high amp cs144 and have major electrical draw and at least one extra battery- you are better off getting...

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

    @Big T you are forever using that rig like a truck w/ a shell on it. I’m surprised you don’t leave the back seat out most the time.

    GMT-800 LLY Towing Speed Record

    Yeah- I think the i95 & i15 where they cross through Vegas is where most of the qualifying drives are done. Posted speeds are 65. Traffic runs 75 in the slow lane. And I don’t think more than 1 pickup/trl combo per month keeps it under 70… I mean, unless I’m late for work- then everyone is...

    Lysle makes the best ones imo.
