:rof::rof::rof: So, we had open shop in class today and I had brought the little GMC 6.5 in today for some maintenance. Oil change, lift pump, OPS, rotate and balance tires, and a power steering fluid flush. I go to pull it onto the 4 post lift in the shop and hear a clunk then a rattle...

Alright here is the stuff from the starter:

Thanks for taking the time to let us know Leroy. Not to many companies out there will take the time to let there customers know that they won't be around to fill any orders. The Green truck needs a new OPS so I just put the order in now for that and your special extension hose :) I can't wait...

GMC Brigadier. 6-71 Detroit, Fuller 10 speed, Tandem Axle, 10 Yard steel dump body. :D:D:D Based on what your telling me I'd say your smallest engine would be a 5.9 Cummins from the late 80's to 98.5(yes both rotary and P-pump style). After that, any good mechanical injection diesel. Like a...

What information are you hunting for? Cumminalong is pretty much the most knowledgeable cummins guy here. I was on the phone with him a few days ago about a pinion flange and he steered me in the right direction. He's a supporting vendor here so either start a thread in his forum or give him...

I did the same thing too both of 6.5 rigs. I owned Big Blue for about a week and did a top post conversion with a 4/0 crossover cable made of welding cable. That was coming up on 3 years ago and the welding cable has not shown the slightest bit of wear. The key is making sure that they are...

I'm a firm believer that there are only 2 ways to increase airflow to your engine. 1) Reduce the filtration capability of the filter to allow more airflow. 2) Increase the overall surface area of the air filter while maintaining the highest level of air filtration possible. Back on track, my...

Thanks Mike :) I put in the vin request. Hopefully Henry will be able to give us some good news lol. Its an amazing looking truck. I'm hoping to put up some pictures of it tomorrow if he has no complaints of it. So aside from the aftermarket hub assembly, is there anything else that should...

Great help as always guys. Here is the Vin Number: 1GCJK39121E292783 Sounds pretty straight forward to me. The wheel bearings are stupid expensive on these trucks arent they? I remember my bosses 04 2500 having wheel bearing trouble and he said it cost him some ridiculous like 500 bucks for...

Friend of mine is looking at a 2001 Chevy 3500 EC/LB dually. Duramax, Allison, 4x4, LT edition. I'm not to familiar with the DMAX and the ALLY so I was wondering if you guys would mind bringing me up to speed? What kind of issues do these trucks have? Anything to look out for? Preventive...

Thats what we like to call operator input error :D I've heard that those P-400 blocks are mighty expensive. Like you can easily sink $10000 into a new block.

Its from Standyne. What do you expect lol :rolleyes5: Stupid pieces of garbage.

They must be nuts to think they are going to have good sales with a price tag like that. That and what is this BS about turbochargers being known to cause stress cracking in the heads??

So my Move to PA has been official. I'm now a resident in Spring City going to School for Diesel / Industrial Tech at UTI.:D Yesterday I passed by the local hunting ship in Pottstown and saw CrazyWeldingGuy from the Diesel places(another member who did a solid axle swap. His is an 04ish GMC...

There are so many different models of these things on ebay its not even funny anymore. Like you said, some work, others are literally a total ripoff. Its just really irritating to have these people making crazy claims of 50% extra this and 80% extra that. Its really deceptive to people and...

MT37 sounds right but I want to double check first on the starter. I'll let you know in about 3 weeks if thats correct or not. Your lucky to have those trucks over there for you, like I said there is nothing over here. Most people hear Ford 6.6 and think of the old Ford 400 V8. You mention...

This thing has been covered at least once every couple months. One member either here or from the place actually cracked one open and it was nothing more than a wire coming in going into a resistor and then going out. Unfortunately... this thing does in fact actually work. But the "claims"...

Wow you have everything right there lol. I'm not quite sure if the starters are interchangeable between auto and manual bellhousings. One of us can take some measurements from the starter mounting holes and whatnot and compare the two together to see if they are an exact match. I'm not sure...

Start here and read up. http://www.otherpower.com/***ing.html Franko was actually the one who originally got me into researching these engines. About as reliable as you can get in terms of having off-grid power generation.
