You want to get a real good price from him on a camshaft, cut you a deal, really...........maybe he has read some of your past posts about Heath Diesel.
Husker6.5, in late August, I hauled an 13 wide and 75 foot long, 145,000 pound oversize load over Loveland Pass, just one lane was open in the tunnel, in the east bound direction. The little 6.2 would have no problem going over that! Probably won't take as long as it took me but again the view...
Bill, don't listen to Husker6.5. Nothing to Vail, really??!! Just a walk in the park without a trailer. It would be so easy for you, you would almost want to take someone else's trailer up behind you!! And you won't know until you try!! You can really see some country from up there too! Maybe...
Georgia Overdrive, I didn't know there were really any hills in Georgia, or most anyplace east of the Rockies! Been east many times and the hills out there are sort of like the off ramps here in the north west! I really enjoyed a very high and crooked mountain road during my 16 years of log...
You want to see mountains? I will put you on a road that is so crooked you will be able to tell if your brake lites are working!! Right Paul?? As you are leaving New Mexico, on I-10 turn off at Lordsburg on Highway 70 into Arizona, take Az 75 north at Duncan, Az and at Guthrie, Az take US 191...
Yep, been around the area for a little while. Started driving log truck in late 67 in the Olympic Pennisula. Quit in late 83 when the loads starting taking longer to load, no more 3 log loads. Went long hauling, for Van Dyke Heavy Hauling, in Seattle, in 83, and saw this country, Canada, and...
Bill, if you do make it thru Oregon and head towards the great North West be sure to stop in the Central Washington area. Of course these little hills we have around here may tax your l'll 6.2 a bit but I am sure you will make it. July and August weather is fantastic up here. A little rain the...
Well, as if 2, mostly complete, 6.2 engines aren't enough, I bought another 6.2. This 1 is in a 84 Chev 1 ton 4x4, crew cab, single rear wheel, and heavy 4 speed. I have the correct bellhousing for my A833 trans. Heard this one run. Along with power steering and brackets, I get the alternator...
Get to Nebraska and see Car Henge.
And Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Sturgis and other little places, in South Dakota. Not too far away.
Wyoming has Devils Tower and lots of over places to see.
Then Little Big Horn Battlefield in Montana, head over to Yellowstone.
Then...
Saw those pistons on eBay. The ones for Ted II are going to be 30 over pistons. As if I, Ted 1, hadn't had enough problems with the first machinist/builder, Ted II's engine machinist may be having back surgery soon. Probably before the pistons arrive!! Ted II's Scat crank, new flywheel, rods...
Drove to Post Falls, Idaho yesterday and made the trip worth while.
I have a very low mileage 6.2 with the new Heath towing cam and a new set of GEP 6.5 heads going in my 98. And I already have a 6.2 to install in my 81 short box and a manual trans flywheel along with pressure plate and...
Well people, DIESEL DEPOT has done it again.
Yep, sure did. In a way it was my fault for not catching the problem.
My engine parts had showed up at Heath Diesel, little by little. When the pistons did arrive it was just a box with 8 pistons and nothing else. Not much really to look at so...
Used some methanol one time and could feel the extra power, but just tapwater after that. Not sure of the miles per gallon I will be getting with this new engine, new stock heads, stock intake and exhaust manifolds, Heath towing cam, and a stock turbo! Nothing special about them, just stock. But...
Well the pump is the newer Snow pump, before Bill Heath came out with his new WMI. He had set mine up, after a little experimenting, and it does seem to work quite well.
A # 7 nozzle.
Don't need the water in cold weather. Just used it at higher rpm's and we were running the engine a very...
I am only using one stage of the Snow WMI. And that is just a #7 nozzle. WMI is set to come on at around 6 pounds of boost. The road trip the 3 of us went on was when I found out the water use. A 32 gallon water tank and a full tank of diesel and both just about out at the same time. Could...
These were custom made for an extended cab dually. A little over 9 inches wide and then they flair out and meet up with the width of the dually fender. They tuck up almost tight to the frame and the inside edge is tapered to fit the body/frame mounts. I followed the truck they were on, for a...
Monday am Todd's engine will be going in his Blue GMC. Everyone will still be on the phone taking orders and talking to customers about the things they need. Everyone is looking forward to Todd's Blue pickup getting back on the road. With Todd, Bill, Joe and myself working on it, it should be in...
Go back to the engine build of my former engine, now owned by Paveltoz. One of the few good things done at Diesel Depot, on the engine build. It will show the heads and some port work. Also the flow numbers. But those heads were also extrude-honed. And they flow real good! Don't rally know where...
