Ok, that was the only part of the installation I did not understand from reading yours and many others. Pretty sure I pull it off now.
The lower temps alone, make it worth it, and then the gains in performance +++ You said something never thinking you would do all this work on your truck and I...
Question about the waste gate actuator. I see on the new turbo that you are using a port on the turbo output side to control the waste gate. How do you control the amount of vacuum on the waste gate solenoid ? I have a 93' that is currently mechanical, a big spring with an adjusting nut. I am...

Funds are tight, the truck is going to sit for a while. Most likely I will do all the work myself this time. The shop I used is someone I work with and they only work on diesels most heavy duty stuff. I was not really happy with the work but a lot of shops won't touch the chevy 6.5. I have...
I used odessa*cylinderhead on ebay, heads were advertised as NEW. Warranty is 2 years unlimited miles, we will see how that goes. The labor was 2 times the head cost.
First I stopped driving the truck as soon as I heard gurgling in the heater core, but sounds like it was too late.
Well, I pulled it apart ran it with no belt... I have bubbles, so my 10 month old head gaskets are screwed and I'm guessing my new heads. The heads are under warranty, but not the...
Ok good to know on the balancer. Sounds like I need to take care of it right away. Pretty sure the balancer I have now is at about 150000. Would a worn balancer wreck a new water pump? I think my water pump has failed and it was new this past year. System still holds pressure but coolant is...
Tank sock was replaced before I had new online filter. I am considering a sump for the bottom of the tank. No more sock or undersized straw for fuel feed.
All new front end but I should have gone poly, already getting loose after 30,000 miles
Cleaned behind all coolers 2 times now
New head studs...
Before I replaced my wires, I was only getting 5 volts on all the lugs at the firewall. So pretty much every system tied into the positive buss bar on the firewall was running or not running on only 5 volts. Replacing wires fixed a ton of problems I was having, including my lift pumps burning up.
Thanks Guys, I have learned a lot the past 2 years. Most of it from other members, just reading past posts. Reading about other owners trucks and the information everyone provides is a huge help.
