Different gear: This is your ip fuel return hose circled in white. It is the only 1/4” diameter line in the fuel system. This is the one to replace with clear tubing, monitoring it at a glance whenever the hood is open and whenever the engine isn’t running perfectly happens in a couple seconds...

Coming out of the crank case on your oil fill spout is the hose that feeds to your CDR. Thats the tuna can thing with the hoses on it above your alternator. Bypassing it with a hose that lets crankcase pressure go directly to the air rather than recirculating into the engine. Ok the book...

Doesn’t matter. We all heard it not running right. Having the resources doesn’t mean he spends it all or that whoever takes care of his car collection knows anything at all about 6.2/6.5. Heck, the military thinks it’s perfectly fine to run a 6.5 at 240°f. I catch flak from many of the...

So… Is that oil leaking from inbetween upper and lower intake manifolds? First I am addressing that . Wish I saw this before you reinstalled everything. Suggestions for it taken apart is: Plug intake ports as good as possible then Clean it all. Get intake manifold gaskets with block off plates...

Worn heavily; improperly adjusted; in need of maintenance.

My instinct was transfer case. I know you said it’s newly rebuilt- but that sounds a lot like stretched chain.

Thats a clapped out 6.2.

Money spent on the 454 & truck could be things to pay off on fuel savings. What fuel system is on it? What compression does it have? What transmission & gearing?

It the budget is too high for a new 6.5 - there is gonna be funny then. Not funny haha, but funny sarcastically. I will sound like a jerk but am trying to save you wasted money and aggravation. The budget question is the smartest comment on here. You answered it and either can’t afford it or...

Wow- low miles! Post pics when ya can please. If there is anyway you could spend time with ak dd, take him up on it! A great guy with impressive knowledge.

Hink is his handle here. By adding the @ before typing a name send that person an alert they are being mentioned directly in a thread, so they get a link to click to make it easy. @Hink is a nice & helpful guy. Anytime someone needs a balancer install tool his has to get mentioned as a great...

Wow, I never knew these would become a high demand item. The one for hummers fail in time and need replacement, so there are a couple people who make one out of aluminum for hummers but the shape & size is very different from trucks. Maybe someone could start making & selling aluminum or steel...

@brodie Definitely the shop that rebuilt it is best place to start. If they won’t honor the warranty because the truck was sold, that isn’t uncommon & doesn’t mean anything negative. Charging a normal rate for diagnostics is fair. But diagnosing what went on with your description- that’s...

@jrsavoie Almost any pro mechanic will want to have the rig towed to their shop even if a ton of parts requires a uhaul truck to bring them in. Most shops can’t handle major disassembled vehicles because of the space requirements. And working at someone’s house is a nightmare of issues that...

Back to square one- AC Delco or Fluidampr only. If Dayco offered a lifetime warranty, and you put some Crosscheck across the two rings, checking it each oil change, and IF they didn’t give you grief to replace it a few times… then MAYBE consider it vs Delco if the price isn’t bad. But in my...

Yuppers. The engine is doing its best to shove everything in one direction. The amazing difference would be if you had it balanced internally- the machinist would throw a rock at you for trying to wear out his equipment! Haha

Haha, you just jumped to the next level with that connection. Now that it won’t overflow and soak the outside of that connection, clean it with electrical cleaner inside & out. Drive and see if atf leaks through the connection. If so that short harness needs replaced. But there is a 90%+...

Draining the excess won’t help unless the breather is filled up. But step one is look for problems, step two is fix known problems before moving onto step three

there is a kit to add a drain plug so the first time you do a drop& splash becomes the last. B&M makes an ok one but the drain hole is small. I can’t remember who makes the bigger one off hand
