Or run a strap around it. 7 or 8 cable ties will drag it around at engine speed and move a whack of air. Probably 40hp down at all times but with 400 ftlbs of torque and a beast like that i never really noticed....

I sprung it loose and moved it about 90deg in the closed direction. It jumped the valve inside somehow.(a oneway trip but it was dead anyway) I just left it there outside the indent that it should have been in. It stayed and remained locked....

I popped the spring out of its recess and rotated the valve. It ran fully locked for 3 months until I had time to do a pump and clutch upgrade. A little loud but cooled just fine. It took a smallish forearm, tiny flat bladed screwdriver and 4 min. No diassembly needed if you have the small arm...

I thought they were amazing when I was a kid. Alloy block! Treated piston bores with no liner. Sounded like the leading edge of ultralight racing stuff only found in Italian racecars to me at the time.

Ford pinto? I just like the sound of anything in this decade related to a ford pinto. Makes me happy. Lol

The pliers! That I like! Lol

I changed out my fuel filter 4 months ago just after I got my truck but its situated well back and under the windsheild on a Hummer so I never got a good peek down inside. I started my FTB mod today so pulled the whole FFM out. When I took the top off and pulled the filter I nearly dropped the...

Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2017 10:41 am Post subject: Oh my days.... This has been going on for 4 months.... Ive been driving around with the tank selector switch disconnected. It keeps the circuit dead and keeps me driving - on one tank only. Every so often I study my wiring diagram and feel...

Intercooler is whats on the horizon. Good call. Thanks for the guidance Will. I dont intend to run like that but wanted to see some scale for things. Then when I calculated 1440 i felt a little sick for a minute. Then started the cascade of rationalization and justification. Then I calmed down...

Just got a k type thermocouple installed on my 6.5TD Hummer . I put it right outside the no.8 cylinder on the exhaust manifold. I know they are usually further back near the turbo but I wanted top temps that the engine is making as a benchmark before I start playing with my performance. Im using...

Ive been following this for ages and lurking in the background. Its just my type of over complicated project. Love it.

Powder coating I believe. Electrostatic charging of the parts and sprayed with powder. Then baked on.

Considering it took me 4 weeks to work out what the clunking was everytime I shut the engine down I would go billet next time. The serpentine belt gave me no indications that the rubber was cracked fully all the way around. For all purposes it ran and sounded fine (while running) even though the...

Id put one on my next order but Im more of a boys extra lage.....still - Gap Kids is a 1/3rd cheaper than Gap next door LOL.

Fill the bottom half with epoxy to reduce volume LOL.

I work with wood a lot. "We do it nice, because we do it twice" (or sometimes thrice) is the real life motto. I like this project. A intercooler is on my list of interests. Seeing yours as liquid cooled opens new options for me as Im tight for space and dislike adding to my existing cooling...

Nice. Does it have a metal band around the top? Sandy

Hummer is a great beast but sure likes to just keep 7000 lbs plowing straight ahead if you hit the brakes too hard on ice or come into a turn too fast. I do enjoy going 60 kph in messy blizzard conditions in the slow lane while minivans and suv's fly past me at 100. I have nothing to prove.

H- cow. After a week of being fine the 20A fuse blew 2x today. I clipped a curb at costco and it blew 4 seconds after my back wheel hit the road again. I went home to re- wire my Lift pump as an isolated circuit, then umplug my my dual tank switch to keep it out. This leaves the PMD only. I...

So here it is. Grounding. It took careful research through 3 model year manuals to understand the grounding descriptions. One year to explain the terms that are then used as acronyms in the next two without explanation. The body is more or less isolated and all grounds are at specific studs in...
