    Oil Filter Adaper O-rings for 6.5

    a square drive would have definitely been beneficial. Now I have a big socket just for this one purpose!

    Oil Filter Adaper O-rings for 6.5

    I'll keep La Jolla in mind. If I can swing pulling the oil filter adapter off without losing too much oil, I will. I'll be back on the 15th.

    Oil Filter Adaper O-rings for 6.5

    I can do that as soon as I need to change oil again. Currently at the advance course in Camp Pendleton and honestly can't remember if I changed the oil before I left or not. My truck is a 94 K2500 4x4 extended cab (6 lug) if that helps. Semper Fi! So you needed the inside diameter of the...

    Oil Filter Adaper O-rings for 6.5

    i ordered the o ring set from leroys as well. for me, it seems like the o rings that went on the big bolt were a little loose so when i resecured the bolt to the adapter, it sheared parts of the two o rings... seems to not have done something significant but i would like to find the proper size...

    what's up with my disappearing diesel fuel?

    So back in the week of July 4, 2012 I installed a golden fuel WVO system. Works great but recentlyI've noticed that my fuel guage would hit the "Full" mark at around 75-80 miles whereas before I would see 125-130. What I did notice is that while I'm on my WVO system, the diesel guage overtime...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees back!!!! Culprit was a bad vacuum pump. Finally sucked it up and bought a new vacuum gauge and pump. Tested the old pump and it pulled very little vacuum at idle. Took the old one off and swapped pulleys and wham at least 25 hg at idle. Turbo whistle is back and going...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    NAPA and bad AC Delco stat for comparison. NAPA stat still works but I went ahead and switched to a brand new Delco stat. Not sure how the Delco stat failed.... looks good to me.

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Got the AC Delco stat in. I like this stat better as the NAPA stat crept too close to 210 during uphill climbs.

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Haven't found my vac/pressure guage yet but I did receive my two ACDelco stats from Rockauto on Saturday eight before I had to leave for the ball. I did get around to seeing if I had any vacuum leaks and got to pulling the hose that goes from one side of the vacuum pump to the other side and lo...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    thanks AK! I'll check that.

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Yeah, I'm definitely not keeping the NAPA one in there but I should be fine since I don't forsee towing anything right now. ACDelco stat will go in as soon as it comes in. Does anyone know how much vacuum I should be seeing from the vacuum pump? I'm still trying to diagnose my wastegate...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Changed the thermostat to a Napa stat that was rated for 195 and made in the USA. Seems to be working great now! Warms right up and cools down to just under 195. The last stat I had in there was an ACDelco. Not sure what happened to it. Looked fine to me but I can't remember what temp it was...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'll have to dig out my vacuum guage sometime and check the vacuum from the pump (still unpacking from the move) What should it read at idle? I don't think that restriction devise was removed. Gauge worked fine before the radiator blew and I was the one that...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    1994. I've been driving it around hoping to get all the air worked out. Is there an easy way to get all the air out short of parking backwards on a steep hill and using the bleeder screw? Something going on with my waste gate solenoid also. I know it's less than 6 months the old because I...

    Is there a problem with my cooling?

    A few months ago in between PCS from Camp Lejeune to Hawaii myself the wife and two dogs took a roadtrip across the US. Long story short, plastic tank by the upper hose gave out, I used some quick fixes to keep us on the road but kept my eye on the temperature gauge. Quick fixes consisted of...
