    What's available for a 4" stainless exhaust these days?

    With the stainless being only $50 more I don't see why anyone would go aluminized. Seems well worth the extra 50 to me

    What's this hydro boosting upgrade to a 20011

    I only heard of this recently myself. There's a fellow I'm getting some GMT800 parts from sometime next month who has done this upgrade and offered to share how to go about it. I'll pick his brain when we meet up and report back here. Apparently it's a very noticeable difference especially when...

    NV4500 to 4l80E

    @Twisted Steel Performance in another thread I linked @SnowDrift to a '93 6.5 that was getting parted out so he could get throttle bracket and cruise module. I think the truck is an automatic. Also think it's located in Michigan so not exactly close to you but perhaps someone could scoop it up...

    DS4 to DB2 Swap questions

    @Glagulator thank you for sharing, I didn't know the PCM only controlled the GPR after a DB2 swap. I thought that the PCM was necessary for those wanting to keep cruise control too. Given that detail, do you know of a more simple way to wire in CC? From what I recall Bobbie Martin's guide has...

    @Stoney the beefsteaks are either marbone or ginfiz hard to say for sure which one when not fully ripe. The unripe tomatoes in the second pic are Granadero

    DS4 to DB2 Swap questions

    You'll definitely want the bracket, too bad he doesn't have the throttle cable. Keep looking online or see if by chance a wrecker yard has a 92 or 93

    The pointy tomatoes are a paste/ sauce tomato called Granadero. Not much moisture in them so great for canning/ less water to cook down for preserving The beefsteak varieties are Marbone and Ginfizz. All bred specifically for growing in a high tunnel (greenhouse). I'm lucky to have this...

    Rebuild about done

    Two questions- Where does one get offset keys? And how did the fellow up north get his hands on a new P400? lol

    Rebuild about done

    In a thread on here months ago it was revealed that there are some potential issues with the new batch of timing gears from Leroy. Unfortunately the timing gears are not as simple as "plug and play" and the cam needs to be degreed to ensure proper timing when installing the gears. I'm no engine...

    @Stoney what kind of tomato blight? If it's late blight there's nothing you can do, it kills plants overnight. All blights are from fungal spores that thrive it wet environments. So keeping the plants dry is prevention #1. Pruning the plants to promote air flow and drying out is another good...

    AC parts

    @WarWagon thank you for the info. I'm a ways off from getting the system set up and am not familiar with the a/c system as a whole so your advice is greatly appreciated. What are you referring to when you say compressor coil? I'll have to go out and look under the hood for the inline diode, the...

    Mechanical Pump 95 Run Issues

    I'm no pump expert but hard hot starts can be the signs of a worn head and rotor on an IP. Have him run the truck, and when it dies pour cool water on the IP and see if cooling it down gets it to fire up again. Is the IP original to '95? If so it could just be worn out and time for a rebuild

    Swapping in a NV4500 in place of a 4L80E

    @SnowDrift can't recall if you use facebook or not but here's a guy parting out a '93 6.5 so it should have the throttle cable and throttle cable bracket for the DB2. If you're serious about going mechanical it wouldn't hurt to see if he has the necessary parts and would be willing to ship them...

    AC parts

    Any progress on this Chris? I'm getting together a/c parts for my '93 dump and am going to replace condenser, compressor and drier/ accumulator as well. There's no switch on the condenser or compressor in stock form, so is the high pressure switch on the drier? Can you link to the adjustable...

    Swapping in a NV4500 in place of a 4L80E

    From what I recall pre- 95 cabs where somewhat different inside, 95 was a bastard year, and 96+ is different from the aforementioned years. Just as seats from a 93 might not fit in a 95+, the pedals may not be the same too, but don't quote me on that. I ran into the same issue a few years back...

    Tractor supply sells 30% vinegar. A similar product called green gobbler is sold at home depot. Organic folks use it as herbicide. Will burn anything it touches but won't kill back to the root. I've got a bad infestation of canadian thistle in my high tunnel too. Got half of it tarped; other...

    Swapping in a NV4500 in place of a 4L80E

    @SnowDrift in case you missed the discussion in another thread there is one other manual transmission out there that will also fit, the Tremec TR4050. It's a still in production unit and has a higher torque rating than a stock NV4500 Only potential downside to some folks is that it uses the...

    Swapping in a NV4500 in place of a 4L80E

    I've had good luck finding a few throttle cables, cruise modules and throttle brackets on Facebook Marketplace from folks parting out 92/93 trucks. They're rare but out there. Pretty sure that a new tune would be needed if going to NV4500 and keeping DS4. Computer may throw a code but no...
