    As in you are going to sell the assemblies or you are going to sell your personal one and are going to something else? And does anyone have a cozy used couch for sale if I buy this? I like my bed but my wife likes her savings account… somethings like burning my steak or getting a turbo is just...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Im not the guy. I give away every ds4 & pmd I lay my hands on. DB2 gang for life YO! 😂. Much easier for us with either 5/16 or 3/8 npt fittings. We add a piece of stainless steel tubing to get out from under the intake manifold and have a T fitting right there where the ffm used to be. I...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    If you are talking about the high pitched sound that lasts about 1 second the instant the engine stops cranking- that is the starter free spinning. Basically the engine “bucked” as in:almost started. It speeds up faster than the starter for just a moment and the starter automatically...

    Oh, I bet it would make it OUT of the driveway. Down the road and back INTO the driveway might be difficult! Haha

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    If it is just the sensor- you’re not. If the oil pressure is dropping- stepmone is checking oil level. Feel consistency of the oil, make sure it’s still thick, and no fuel mixed into it. Low pressure for one of these reasons needs addressing.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    This is where a WORKING low coolant alarm is an engine saver. Engine running at 200°, loose coolant & the temp gauge will take forever to drift to a cooler level, meanwhile the engine isn’t getting the coolant it needs and the engine gets smoked. A working low coolant alarm tells you to pull...

    Did you connect them & try it?

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Those can be hard on the threads. Rule of threaded rod tools is: hand tools only. I break that rule often, but I don’t cry when I ruin one from it also… Just like Roy Rogers- go easy on Trigger.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Holy light bulb moment Batman! Remember when the hard starting and extra smoke in the morning began? The day after that switch got broke is my bet. I was focused on that you got it hot. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Betcha that is the hard start & smoke show the whole time- not counting the battery/alternator...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yes- that rear temperature sensor with the two wires- this is its job: 1. Tells glow controller how long to run 2. Tells db2 to advance timing for easier start and get fuel in the cylinder sooner since it all isn’t burning away yet. 3. Tells throttle advance solenoid to hold the idle slightly...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    It’s all how they made the die portion and reduced drag where ya can. That little dab of grease on the threads & under the nut flange helps. Long handle GearWrench ratcheting wrench helps - It isn’t a hard job, just annoying.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    I lube the threads to make it pull easier. Make sure the oval die lines up with the opening. Quality ones like the OTC are good. Cheap ones will cause tons of headaches.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yes, 12 awg is the smallest you want. If going 100’ then go up to 10 awg. Your cold starts- cycle the key a few times: Turn key on until glow plug light goes out. Turn key off, quickly Turn key on until glow plug light goes out. Turn key off. Quickly Turn key on until glow plug light goes...

    From the video we can hear the batteries are under charged. Driving down the road that’s the voltage- yes you’re alternator is likey dead and you wont make it 2 more days… Alternator swap is easy. Find out what parts stores are in area you are moving to and buy the lifetime one from that...

    Best coolant for 1996 GM 6.5L

    Best coolant for 1996 GM 6.5L

    Yeah- its called a hoodscoop. The front grille opening is deceiving in pictures because we are used to seeing the front of a normal truck. The headlights are 7” diameter- compare to front grille opening. Almost no air comes in there, and what does is hitting the bottom area of the radiator...

    Best coolant for 1996 GM 6.5L

    The cooling stack in hmmwv/Hummer is actually amazingly great. The problem is they are layed down at a ridiculous angle- worse than corvette or any other vehicle I ever seen. Then complicated by the miniature entrance angle that gets less and less airflow the faster it goes down the hiway with...
