Yep! And I believe on mine I just used a straight hose barb to connect to the new heater hose. Left the new hose a bit longer and let it make its own turn. Could also use a 45* there as Will suggested.

Don't remove the hose at the heater core, cut the other end where it's crimped to the steel line. Leave as much hose on there as you can. And correct that's the fitting for the crossover. I have a stainless steel one but an aluminum one may be better as dissimilar metals may not play nice together.

Yup I used just a regular heater hose. What helps is I got a 45 degree fitting for the thermostat crossover, it helps clear the A/C compressor better. Cut the hose where it's crimped at the firewall and just use a barb. Some say the smaller line is important as a constriction and I've seen the...

I've emailed NAPA but don't think that will go anywhere According to RockAuto what I got from the NAPA store is the correct part I bought a few stainless washers, just going to use those. I chatted with a NAPA representative online and it is indeed the correct part. I don't understand how this...

anybody else come across this issue? The original inner tie rods had nylon lock nuts, no castle nuts. Only other thing I can think of is the center link is a different thickness. But that doesn't seem likely

I'm not sure such an exhaust exists out of the box; one would have to buy their own stainless v- band flanges and clamps and weld up the pieces they'd want to come apart in sections to fit their truck.

Doing inner and outer tie rods on my 1 ton dump project today. Genuine TTX inner and outer tie rods from NAPA. Attaching to the center link, it seems that the hole in the threaded part of the tie rod and the castle nut don't line up at all. Torque spec is 46 ft/ lbs. After tightening down, the...

@jrsavoie the link posted earlier by Ryan is probably the correct part https://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-Engine-Mount-Stud-Bolt-Flange-Double-Head-M8X1-25X20-M10X1-5X30-New-11561121-/332785338193 part number 11561121

The donor pedal I got off a '93 bolted in just fine to my '95. According to Bobbie Martin's guide any 90s gasser pedal should work too but I have yet to verify that. Based on the pictures of the linked donor truck I'd say it's a 92 or a 93 that had the ABS unit deleted. Appears to have throttle...

@SnowDrift this ad says 1998 but in the pictures you can clearly see throttle and cruise cables. In CT so maybe he'd be willing to ship. Not likely the seller would be ok with pulling the pump too but you'll want a core at some point so you can have a pump properly built...

Came across this on the Fakebook, located in NC. For those who don't use Fakebook it's (according to the seller) a Navistar 6.5 short block with a forged crank, balanced rotating assembly and splayed mains. Apparently purchased by the seller at an auction from a defense contractor Asking price...

Maybe I'm missing something, but the list of injector nozzles in the link doesn't have 304 or 311 listed. Thought 304 were stock for the 6.5 and 311 are the marine?

For what it's worth I've been told by an injector guy that Bosch nozzles that went to India are worse than the china ones. Apparently there's nozzles being made in Italy that are the best option at the moment. I think the Italian company is Bosio but can't find any way to source the Italy made...

I didn't know you could get galvanized rims, I'll keep that in mind for my equipment trailer! I put this brush on stuff on my fuel tank, would it being oil base and high gloss make it any better or worse than a rattle can...

I have the same issue on several steel rims- one my front tractor tire, the other steel rims for the pickup. The inside of the rim is rusted enough that the bead won't seat fully so I have perpetual slow leaks. The tractor tire in particular bugs me as it's only 13 years old and is mostly kept...

@ngweidner are you referencing converting the GMT400 front brakes to the GMT800 style? There's a few threads on here if you search GMT800 brake conversion. Several folks on here have done it. All GMT800 trucks had the dual piston calipers. thread here...

Have you verified that the white smoke is unburnt fuel and does not smell sweet like antifreeze indicating a possible coolant leak?

I'd also recommend an EGT gauge as when I tow I use that to guide my pedal more than anything else. High EGT will show up way before the coolant temp reads high

@Twisted Steel Performance something like this? https://www.siliconeintakes.com/dsm-intercooler-piping/exhaust-flex-section-p-863.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIucrG74iWggMVi4fICh2LbgA-EAYYASABEgIZ6PD_BwE I was considering that kind but thought they also had a tendency to fall apart/ disintegrate

Thanks for the part numbers. What is different about the AMG o-ring? Any visible differences in the two adapters?
