    So do 99% of the pictures of WWII workers that built the armaments that won a war, we could not even begin to attempt to fight a war today like that with current OSHA rules and ambulance chasers taking companies to court over "unsafe" working conditions, my #1 headache as a field engineer is...

    Intermittent SES light

    Illville I moved your posts to their own thread it is easier to track a problem in it's own thread, once you find the codes post them your description is too broad to do much more than throw out a bunch of guesses.

    Were to put post turbo pyro probe

    When I had the Banks Stinger exhaust setup before going to my 4" Heath exhaust on truck now, the folks at Banks had a post turbo bung/locknut welded into the DP about 18" after the turbo in the straight leg of the DP, response for reading was not as fast as in my preturbo now but fast enough to...

    has anybody installed an AC generator on a 6.5?

    Other consideration is charging rate/amperage for deep cycle batteries you can kill deep cycle batts with a chagrge rate being too fast, I run my camp on solar power using marine deep cycle batts AGM from a sailboat a buddy was parting out, and I "killed them" by using the wrong charger type...

    boost fooler

    PT what are you planning on doing with the truck that requires a fooler, can you update your signature line with current truck configuration, depending where you are in your setup a fooler may be premature just yet. Do you have gauges yet EGT & Boost at a minimum ? are my personal best...

    Replacement FFM options?

    Something not quite rite what psi you running on it, I'm 10-12 psi with my FRB-5 Walbro, what O-ring rubber you using, ? possibly wrong composition and the Diesel fuel is making it soft & skwishy and prematurely failing/leaking?

    Turbo master question

    With a TM your boost will be where you set it, but if you hit a high IAT condition you will defuel, or hit a boost level the PCM does not expect to see at that rpm for X seconds 7psi or less should not code but may depending where you are on the programs tables boost-fuel-timing-rpm

    Turbo master question

    You could also put on a boost fooler to prevent coding, before going into high boost operations 10+psi sustained, describe for us any mods or maintenance items you have done or know about recently performed on the vehicle in question. Just upping the boost may not be what you need to be doing...

    Turbo master question

    I'd remove it in entirety, including the vac pump, generally 1" shorter belt than stock is what you will need once the vac pump is removed

    Diesel Kleen? ATF? Stanadyne? Donkey Pi$$?

    PS Grey is what I run in every fill up, with a healthy glow system you should not need to run an additive, but considering what is being sold as "green fuel" these days additives especially on older Diesels that came into being before <15ppm sulfur fuels were around I personally think some sort...

    Where do you run your wires?

    I drilled a hole in the fire wall big enough to allow for expansion later if i wanted to add more wires/gauge tubing, put a rubber pass thru grommet in it the kind that has the groove for sheet metal to sit in, then when I pulled all my wires thru sealed it up with some RTV I could remove later...

    There's a bird under my hood!

    How is your tach reading is it wrong diameter pulley on alt ? and possibly yes shorter belt, or a different brand that does not stretch so fast

    Glowplug controller freaking out? Or normal operation?

    How long you had the Heath program, his newer versions have "after glow" programmed in them and you can get several cycles of glow even with engine running

    manual transmission on early 90"s diesel truck

    I have a 90 GMC C1500 SWB stepside currently with 4.3 V-6 with the 5 speed manual GETRAG transmission, planning on mating it to a 6.5 turbo engine, spent time with Bill Heath on the subject and he said he ran similarly set up without any issues, and said it was a "fun truck".

    HX40II Turbo Install

    Thanks Nobby I missed that, Max E was what I was running before HP4 and I'm on like HP10 now :) even though Bill did not assign a number to program I'm running now.

    HX40II Turbo Install

    That is a must do IMO; before going with that mod I was always falling off in the power band I would flat stop gaining momentum.

    HX40II Turbo Install

    Good point, as the GM turbo was sized for stock HP levels/flow, but I'd still like to see the drive pressure numbers.

    HX40II Turbo Install

    I had 2 gauges installed 1 permanently installed for boost, and a second tapped to the right bank collector just below the turbo entry to monitor the backpressure/drive pressure, with GM turbo once approaching 10 psi boost the back pressure with the GM waste gated turbo starts driving 2x the...
