We can assume the batteries were "disconnected" as the truck sits all winter long with no use (actually from mid Aug - July 1st when I fly up to work). Even though a friend is suppossedly keeping the batteries charged over the winter for me, when I arrived last summer the batteries were stone...
It was in a GM factory box and based on cleanliness (sp?), I assumed it was new. It does now run (or for that matter, not run), and acts like PMD problems I've had in the past on both trucks. I think I'll purchase a new PMD to try just in case along with a resistor. I hate to throw money away...
My '96 work truck in AK stopped running last summer. The prior owner had what looked like a new PMD in a box in the glove compartment so I purchased a heat sink and extension harness off flea bay and mounted it under the bumper. It ran fine for the rest of the summer, almost. It then was either...
I'm thinking I'll pound out the interior to provide an end to end hole about 4" in diameter. The cat will still feel solid if someone "thumps" it but with the lack of restriction, should be just about like not having it there at all.......
I remember hours spent with a concrete star drill and...
Wow..................
Ok, will a 99 6.5 with Heath ECM and ATT pass the smoke test? Is this based on being a stock rig or will modifications count against us? Or is the smoke test strickly a tail pipe only test? Will an empty cat cause problems?
I hate California and still can't figure out...
What do we know about this visual inspection in CA? When does it take place, change in ownership or something like the every 2 year smog inspection. I have my cat out but stored it in the shed, good thing! I can pound the interior material out (as I did on my VW's back in the '80's) but how can...
Ok, so I'm taking it that there is indeed an air filter somewhere? And its 10-12 hours to get to? What were the engineers thinking? Anyone have a step by step to get this done?

You can definetly hear the van motor at various speeds. I can also feel varying amounts of air coming out the vents based on fan speeds but it just seems "weak". Thats why I thought there might be a plugged filter somewhere.
I'm hoping to install my ATT this weekend or next. I'll have a GM 8 with Turbo Master up for sale. Whats a fair price to ask or should I just put it on the great "auction house" and let the bidding begin?
I just recieved my reman injectors from Accurate Diesel. They are stamped Bosch Germany and Bosch France, hopefully they're the real deal! Anyway, the injectors themselves have a brass washer on them and the install kit has a set of them also. I assume I just need to use one set or the other...
My injectors from Accurate Diesel should be here this week so I'll be ready to install them and the new A Team turbo. While the injectors are out and turbo removed, what would be involved in a leak down test? I'm hoping one of the auto parts houses has one to rent. What is the proceedure for...
Well, since I'm in a spending mode (just ordered an A Team Turbo this morning), figured I'd look at relocating the engine oil and trans coolers. I've been having major overheating trouble when towing with our northern CA 100+ temps and I'm trying to keep the 6.5 in the running instead of buying...
