    6.5 super charger

    Does that Aussie intake fit 60° heads? I was looking for the charge air liquid intercooled intake from Marinediesel AB Sweden, sadly they are out of business now! Some used ones are still floating around. Would love to pair with a unique diesel upper plenum and a sidemount turbo.

    Emmott's Initiation

    If ARP instructions for 12mm nuts/studs go as low as 100 ft-lbs, and the equivalent load cell torque with ARP studs and lube for the inner bolts on 6.5 blocks is 96 ft-lbs, the inner bolts are probably within safety margin for binding of threads. Heck, I'd be comfortable with torqueing the...

    Emmott's Initiation

    Got my block back again, total seal #2 rings and #1 rings are now gapped. AMS edmonton did it and billed an hour. They left the #1 rings in the cylinders rather than put number tags on them. Seems like a smart enough idea. The gapless rings were bagged but not numbered, so I assume it doesn’t...

    97 k1500 6.5 diesel has seen better days

    Assuming brain = Powertrain Control Module (PCM)... 96 and 97 PCM's may not be interchangeable even if they have the same connectors. Your spare PCM would need to be the same kind of transmission as your truck (the PCM is programmed differently for a manual vs automatic). 98+ PCM's have...

    Compounds

    I pulled 6.4L PowerStroke compounds for my P400 project. Steed Dolan’s Banshee VGT controller is compatible with the Ford VGT servos after a firmware update, and you can get an aftermarket servo that doesn’t need liquid cooling. Not sure why more people aren’t considering this option. Ford’s...

    6l90 behind a 6.5

    Can you very easily run the np243? A friend has a 4wd gas 6L90 for sale. My '97&'98 are push button. Will the Dodge 29 spline input shaft from a floor shift np241 fit in a push button np243?

    Battery reviews

    AGM batteries have a lower charging voltage than led acid. There is risk of over-charging them if you are using the standard voltage regulator that comes internal on most gm alternators. Might want to search for an AGM specific external regulator, or watch your voltage closely. FYI.

    File Size Limits

    Hey moderators and admins, first off, thanks for everything you do around here! Can we please have the maximum file attachment size increased? The current limit of ~1.5MB limit is very small (an email for example can hold ~25MB attachments). 1.5MB is about the same capacity as a 3½" floppy...

    Rings & Pistons

    Thanks! Just got off the phone with tech support, it's as easy & simple as you said, "cost is 10$ per ring + 15$ setup then shipping back to you". They said to just mail the rings directly to their business address, provide contact information for billing in the shipment, then they would reach...

    Rings & Pistons

    Hey Chris, is there anyone I can contact directly at Total Seal for machining the new #2 rings I have? I'm having trouble finding this option on their website.

    Leroy's Time Keepers are Sold Out

    Can a production total of 200 units be a mix and match of db2's and db4's, or would the batch need to be exclusively 200 of one or the other?
