2. Got the engine and had it installed out here. didn't really feel that good for about 6,000 miles or so then it started to come to life. Knowing of other performance items available and I wanted them. Then a former employee of a 62/65 diesel company had a lot of stuff for sale for half the...

1. It all started when my stock 6.5 broke. I was in need of another engine and asked around. Was told about a company east of here a ways and contacted them. Had a lot of ideas as to how I wanted my engine built. Cost was not really a problem because of the things I wanted done.

Instead of talking about Ted's Trucks, we can talk about Ted's engine. Yep, the 'Ultimate 6.2 rebuild'! 2 years/24K mile warranty. Everything covered, guaranteed not to break, type of warranty. The kind of warranty where the engine builders had made many calls wanting me to add many...

Yes it does! The engine build was covered by a magazine, but no names. But I didn't start it, I just added a few pennies worth of stuff. The old saying, "Buyer Beware", should be used when shopping for a rebuilt engine. The 'optimizer' was not out when I had mine built. $9K and I...

I never mentioned a builder!

'Oh my', wasn't exactly the words I used!! This broke in March at an idle on the freeway, while stopped. Sent the parts back in April, been lied too every time I have called them, when they would actually take my call, except when I was given the tracking numbers for the crank, flywheel...

Now we can't have an honest engine builder slammed on here can we?? I haven't had much to say about engine performance for over 8 months, I wonder why!?!? But I will say the $9,000 engine build was really something..............................else! That is as far as i am going to go with...

I had the ATT on my truck for quite a while also. It did work great, and gave a ton more power. I saw over 24 pounds of boost with the ATT when it was pulling hard! BUT, our highways aren't set for higher speeds, in the greater Seattle area. I've got 60mph zones around here for miles. 60mph gave...

Magazine coverage is good but the article should be written after the facts have been proven. Case in point "Ultimate 6.2L rebuild" in MaxxTorque, good reading and brought out a lot of questions. And a few horsepower 'Quest' articles later. MaxxTorque, Diesel Power and a few other magazines...

I have a 32 gallon tank. it is 10"x12"x63.5". Use right at 1 gallon of water to 1 gallon of diesel. Mileage increase is there too, over 2mpg increase, if I drive it right. I have the older Heath/Snow 2 stage kit, number 7 nozzel in each line. Primary comes on at 5 pounds and secondary at 12. At...

John, I just got off the phone with Bill and he asked me to ask you to call him. Use the toll free number too. If you want to know something, call him, he is waiting and the lines are open!! Kevin, Joe, or Todd, will put you right thru to him! I have sat in his office many times while he would...

New federal laws coming in soon. Vehicles being towed weighing over 10,000 pounds total weight will require the driver to have a CDL. California is using this now and Washington will be using this by July this year. And it will be nation wide. Under 10,000 pounds on a trailer is legal.

Depends on what you are comfortable in towing. Your pickup seems to be set up with a good towing capabilities. I have a 40foot Teton with a combined weight of just under 24,000. Just remember the stopping distance get real short when you are towing. Just watch your liquid temperatures.

I saw the same on a Trans Am and then the 2 different year Camaros had different vents too.

I am very satisfied with the build Diesel Depot did for me. My recent trip and very high constant rpm's did prove to be a very strong engine. This trip was sort of a break in trip. Jamie is hard to get hold of with the hours he works but you can always call Avant Salvage and talk with Benny...

Yep, put the GM-8 back on. Better mileage a the slower speeds of 62 where I do like to drive! Paveltoz is now the proud owner of the "A" Team Turbo. Never mind the pictures we were on a distance time crunch and had to make time when possible. This big heavy truck will get down the road if...

My grain truck has a 5x4, it's a gas job but that means a lot of shifts. Way to go! The logging outfit had an old International dump truck with a 6V71 and a 5 and 4. Every driver I knew who drove that noisy thing complained about a headache as soon as they go out of it. I'm starting to...

The Log Truck outfit I drove for had many 12V71's (474hp stock) with 4:56, a 5 speed main box and 4 speed Brownie and a few with the 13 speed. There was one pulling SOB. I prefer the set of sticks myself, a real truck! But the noise of that engine and exhaust just about ruined my hearing. Had to...

OH REALLY! Is the the "Place" that tells you what you can post and not post? I have posted here a few times the milage I 'did' get. I have exceeded 23mpg with the GM-8 and the WMI. I have spent a ton of money trying to get mileage by adding all sorts of different items and trying...

Got the "A" team turbo installed today, little over 3 hours. Took a little longer because I had to change the drain line to a larger size. Got everything installed and started and let it warm up to operating temperature. Checked for leaks, didn't find any and shut the hood. Took off and my my...
