    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    Yup. And in some states, smog certified shops are required to turn in someone without the gear. Hence my reasoning of store the old parts, you can easily explain the parts were removed for that one particular off road or racing application.

    Remote fuel filter

    The difference is nominal vs absolute. Absolute is NOTHING 14 and larger gets through. nominal is the average that gets through is 14 but could allow a certain percentage up to say 50. So make sure to find the spec difference of absolute & nominal. The Fass water filter is an absolute stop...

    Remote fuel filter

    Imo going to the Fass water separator is worth it. You can get just a spin on mount for that. Not knowing the other one you are looking at- just hope it works for you. The factory ffm has filter, a poor water separator, and a good fuel heater. Depending on your location if you need a fuel...

    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    I don’t have one but have a few friends that do. The dpf delete itself doesn’t alter power. You will see a slight improvement in mpg because when a regen is occurring it burns fuel to do it. But not like you will save huge money. Because the delete costs money, you will be out money for some...

    Hydraulic Clutch Tool worth considering?

    I really can’t remember enough of the gmt400 clutch if this will help or not. I never used one of these and have done half a dozen or so hydraulic clutches in these. Fleets just don’t use manual transmissions unless they have to. The only thing I remember doing them is I hate them and it is...

    Hydraulic Clutch Tool worth considering?

    $68.99 + s/h https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Hydraulic-Clutch-Release-Bearing-Set-Up-Tool,3168.html A guy could diy one but idk if there would be any cko of it for sale because by time a guy figures out making it correctly, pays for materials- it easily gonna sell for that price or...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yeah- some water beat up the differentials a tiny bit but nothing at all to worry over. As mentioned- make sure the breathers are cleaned up. & if you offroad half as much as that is rig deserves it, extend the breather hoses way up high. In hmmwvs they tie the two together then use a small...

    2003 Tahoe w/ 4.8 V8

    Depends if it is a short circuit or a battery draining component with or without key on. Basically measure amperage pulling from battery. Leave the meter in place and pull one fuse at a time. When amps drop- that That will id the circuit. Finding a short circuit- that isn’t fun. You...

    (((Notice))) AMG "Optimizer blocks" Made by Dalton foundry now.

    Yup. Some bone head told AM General & the military that 230,240f is ok for these engines and they blow through them like candy because of it. Meanwhile everyone else that know 220f means PULL OVER NOW & let it cool off- the engines make it a long life. There is other things to look at &...

    (((Notice))) AMG "Optimizer blocks" Made by Dalton foundry now.

    I can’t remember reading anywhere that showed the Dalton date code pattern. Maybe some calls or emails sent off could get results?

    Garage for Humster.

    I don’t know chimneys, but wouldn’t it be better to use two 45° fittings?

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Remember a dab of anti-seize on the threads. In COLD weather a second cycle of the key is needed or the override switch. But the couple seconds are worth it. Hope you ordered from an authorized dealer. Lots of cko junk out there.

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    I used to recommend the bosch that were 80034 duraterms (the number changed since then to a longer one but device was same). Then one failed, broke off and destroyed my piston. The plugs were not 10,000 miles use in an optimizer engine with all the maintenance done one could think of. You...

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Plug in the block heater and see if that solves it or lessens the time it is smoking. If so, that will point towards the glow plugs not warming it enough. Is there any correlation of engine coolant temperature and smoke? Does the smoke smell like diesel fuel or like coolant? If the heater...

    SAE30R7 fuel hose

    To be clear on my last post: the r-7 stuff WILL FAIL in time. Thats why I never tried it. Use the gm ones as they are super cheap & easy to swap on the injectors, then when you are done swapping around injectors and settle on a set, the original Mercedes Benz injector hose that is 1/8” is r9...
