    Window regulator

    I've had the glue that holds the window to the track fail and then the track falls out of the scissor lift regulator. Have some good 2 core epoxy on hand for re attaching the track to the window. It's a lot of fussing and fighting in a tight space working inside these doors but once you pull off...

    Is this normal?

    Once again @WarWagon is the carnage king! 😆 Once it warms up (single digits forecast here for the next few nights) I'll do what I can to clean up the block and get it to a friend's shop for measuring. Any potential engine rebuild will be done solely to flip for some money back to fund all my...

    Is this normal?

    @dbrannon79 I'm pretty sure that the white smoke out the tailpipe was coolant as It didn't hold any in the system when running. When I pulled the heads I was surprised to see the gaskets intact, or at least there wasn't any obvious sign of a blown head gasket. Cracks between at least one set of...

    Is this normal?

    ah interesting, I didn't think about buildup like that. I'll look at the bottom of the bore tomorrow but I think it's worse at the top. Even with all that blow by you think there could be a slight chance the bores are in stock spec? that would be wild

    Is this normal?

    Stripped down the original engine that was in the dump truck when I purchased it. Every GM 6.5 I've owned has been a carnage candidate so I never paid much attention to the blocks, they self destructed. This had insane blow by when I purchased it and I knew the engine was toast, already had a...

    2006 LBZ for Purchase

    By Northeast coast standards that's not rust and is mint! Literally the springs look new. If that's the worst of it I'd say its in great shape at least frame wise I have a buddy with a bone stock LBZ that is pushing 350k and running like a top. Trans was rebuilt by him a few winters ago. If you...

    Turbo blanket

    here's one that's a little more pricey but is available on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/153204617607 If you go on thermal zero's website there's universal blankets that may fit. Or call them and see what they recommend, thermal zero seems to be a well regarded supplier.

    Turbo blanket

    I have never seen an ATT and can only suggest seeing how it compares size wise to a better known turbo like a holset hx35 or hx40 and see what turbo blankets are sold for those I think the ATT is a mitsubishi turbo. If you can find out what the actual mitsubishi number is finding a turbo...

    1996 K2500 “Krovvy”

    Another showroom piece 🤘 well done! Since I don't see you opening a school for body work and rust repair anytime soon, do you have any links to articles/ videos on how to do the panel patching and bondo work you seem to have mastered? I've got lots to do on my rigs and have zero idea where to...

    Smoke on Cold Start-up

    I know nothing about duramaxes but 17 degrees is cold for a diesel any way you slice it. I also don't know how to interpret balance rates let alone what "normal" is. I think @RI Chevy Silveradoman has a similar year truck, maybe he can offer some firsthand experience Is the truck running fine...

    Lifter preload

    @Custom Deluxe what do you mean by snap gauge style? I've seen the adjustable pushrods for finding length that just screw/ unscrew for adjustment that are then measured with calipers. How does the stock length compare to what you've measured for using with the Harland rockers? Are you using the...

    Lifter preload

    I think I saw @Twisted Steel Performance mention that 0.050" is the preload for measuring length but hopefully he chimes in to clarify. How are you measuring the pushrod length, just a simple ruler/ tape measure or ? If you're willing to share some info/ pics I've always been curious as to how...

    6.5L HX35 Downpipe adapter for Stock 6.5 manifold setup

    Downpipe adapter that bolts to the stock downpipe and turbine size of a HX35 on the stock manifold. Bought new from Quadstar 2 years ago, barely 10 miles on it. No longer using stock manifolds so no use for it. $100 plus the ride. Includes mounting hardware

    GMTD scan tech

    @Goose57 sorry for the late reply, been out of town and offline I haven't had any time to run the truck with the front mount intercooler (long story involving a bad IP that I won't get into here) but given that my power goals require having an intercooler I have no doubt I'll be happy with the...

    I bought the software through Leroy a while back, check and see if you can get it through him. Engh motors sends a passcode that may be marked as spam so keep an eye out for it if you buy through Leroy. I can dig through my email and see if I can find the old code, you can try using it as I have...
