Don't know about that GP Controller but, earlier you'd asked about a DB2 rebuild company. You might try Classic Diesel Designs in Texas. I understand they're pushing some big plungers in their maxed out units. But, I'm sure they'll do what ever spec you want or is possible. They don't do DS4s...

According to my search, GM started installing the 6.2 in their line up in 1982. 1981 casting would correct in order to meet production demands.

Finally got around to installing / swapping out the return fuel lines on the injectors. To re-hash, I purchased the Delphi Injector installation kit and the return line hose failed several times on the 5 and 7 injectors. Failed as in split apart. I noticed when replacing the upper intake that...

No restrictor was used. You're the first one to mention it. Given the OPS port isn't restricted and, so far as I know, the Turbo's Oil Feed Line on the 6.5 isn't restricted given the amount of oil that came out of my old 6.5 engine's port when left open once (no I don't want to discuss it).

My engine is a 6.2 N/A 599 block bored 30 over. 6.5 heads. Mine didn’t have ports for either the OPS in the valley or front of the block for turbo oil feed. If the one you’re looking at is the same, you’ll need to make a T-Block fitting for the OPS and Turbo Oil Feed line using the oil port at...

If it turns over and you can at check with compression tester before you drop the money, it could be worth a shot. Won’t know unless you try…“He who dares, wins!”

Caught a couple of typo’s above and the time limit has passed for going in to edit things. Change: “I was a hot mess from these.” To: “I was expecting a hot mess from these” Change: “…it wouldn’t perform in the new body which is, beyond scientific exploration, worth.” To: “it wouldn’t perform...

Good to hear it is finally sorted out. Nice to have new stuff out of the box not need adjusting or turning as you thought. Personally, I’ve never been burned so never thought I needed new drums turned and only ever had one set of rotors that required ‘running in.’ ‘There is a season, turn turn...

I helped pop 15 of BigT's yesterday while visiting with Bill Heath after a run down to NV to help recover a DMax. Long story, different thread. Injectors. As far as I can remember from campfire stories, these came from the years when Bosch Germany was forced to have a come to Jesus meeting...

After a couple of set backs during which I learned the driver's door was a respray of a white door... Sanding and etching primer followed by a coat of 'regular' primer before spraying the red on the door's A pillar, top sill and part of the B post. I focused on top of the fender so a return trip...

Yeah, don't take lessons from me. I know what needs to be done but, lack the time spent to develop the talent to actually do a good job. All my stuff is definitely 10 and mostly 50 foot work. As BigT said to me this morning, "You love the rattle can but, fear the HVLP sprayer." Fair enough...

Playing around with some more 'area beautification" on the Red truck before turning it over on Saturday. Decided to address the faded tail light lenses. 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit wet sanding first then two coats of 3M Headlight Restoration resin. I purchased a 50 pack on sale of just the packets...

Opted to putter on the red truck. Headlights and turn signal buckets are yellow so, instead of working them over with a restore kit, I pulled a set off the spares pile I accumulated chasing the best set for the LED's. Owner is running HID low beams and Sylvania Highs anyway and I was using the...

Hang in there and feel better. Good luck with the PVC hose. The stuff I ordered from McMaster Carr for the return lines should be here today. Can't decide if I should stop puttering work on the Red GMC or shift over and remove the turbo and prep for the new lines so that monkey is off the...

On a positive note, Auto Zone refunded all funds for the return line kits I ordered and the one I used that failed. Yay

Just ordered the return line hose Heath used to use in the kits they sold. McMaster Carr part# 5119k79 (1/8" ID, 1/4 OD 1/16"Thick) Black, Brown or Green. $4.80 per foot plus Tax, S&H. I got the Green so I can see things in dark places. Side note, A friend of mine outside Grand Junction...

Return line between injectors 5 & 7 turns out to be junk. 25 miles from home and the truck gave itself a diesel bath. Called AAA and they gave it a piggy-back ride home because I wasn't going to mess with it in the gathering darkness while the motor was still hot and I don't have tools etc...

Got up early and knocked out the driver's side injectors, reinstalled the air cleaner and double checked the down pipe to turbo joining. Started easily enough with a slight cough as the air purged and everything steadied out. The wife listened and shown a light on the downpipe/turbo connection...

I'm good with what I got. FWIW, Link in the banner returns as 'unsecure' with Google and Windows Edge so I can't see anything there. Safari says it can't connect either. I did find a picture of an intake set up on the TSP Facebook page. Is this what you're referring too?

I apricate the pointers. Never experienced the turbo nut loss before. Friend of mine did when he owned this motor 12 years ago but, since I've owned the truck, which is going on 20 years, not once. Not with the original and not with this one... until now. I'm using these serated nuts this time...
