    GM8 vs Various Turbos

    That stinks it didn't work out. Mine tows so much better with the ATT, and would never go back. I thought Dennis(Slim Shady) was running 18:1 also? So yours doesn't feel any more responsive with the ATT than the GM 8? Reason I'm asking is I had the GLE tune and ATT on my truck for a couple...

    Would you recommend a gm turbo and spend the money for it? if so why or why not

    I wouldn't put a GM turbo on my truck again. It runs so much better with the other turbo, even just around town. Would never recommend the stock turbo.

    Nice. So are you getting a HX40II or did they already send one?

    New A Team & KOJO...first impressions & questions

    I was on a trip towing the trailer and my lift pump went out. Bought one at Napa and when I got home I decided to check it. I could pull it down to a vacuum by the time it shifted into 3rd gear not towing. So I ordered a Walbro and fittings from PMD cable. I think the lowest I see is 4 or...

    New A Team & KOJO...first impressions & questions

    I noticed the engine braking also. I am pretty sure it is the converter staying locked on decel. If you tap the brake you feel it unlock but if you just let off to coast it will stay locked for a while.

    Walbro Pump mod

    That's what I'm thinking now that I read they are self priming.

    Walbro Pump mod

    Don't know why I had a problem. I just looked up specs and it says it is self priming. That's weird. FRC fuel pumps Flow: to 210 lph (55 gph) Self priming (dry lift) up to 48 inches Continuous duty life (diesel fuel): >10000 hrs Weight: 0.83 kg (1.83 lbs) Pump cycles...

    Walbro Pump mod

    Not me. Bought a FRC-10 from Leroy. Installed it, and a prefilter. Didn't even think about priming it. Fired up the truck it ran for about 30 sec. to a min. and died. Cranked it for a little, but had no fuel at T-valve. I know Walbro is a flow through because I ended up putting a rag over...

    Why did you sell the e350 already?

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    Well, I'm about 10 miles or so north of Sacramento, have room in my backyard if you need a place to stay, and another guy on TS lives about 5-10 miles from me. Or, I am always looking to go camping somewhere if your plan is further north I could possibly meet you somewhere and camp for a couple...

    Peninsular Intake Upper and MAP Sensor Relocation Question

    This is the bracket I made for mine with the peninsular intake. I made it out of aluminum. I know, I'm missing a bolt, I have it just need to put it back in

    Replacement turbo

    Hey Buddy, where in central CA are you? Stockton, Fresno, or further south? I am curious, you can drive mine and I'll drive yours. I'm fully insured, no accidents, and get down to the Manteca, Tracy area quite a bit.

    Replacement turbo

    Yeah. But I was going to anyway to put a locker in it.

    Replacement turbo

    I know how gears work. I've been a mechanic for almost 20 years. I had the 36 for a couple years before before I did the gears. I had to be doing 80 MPH before I could use overdrive because the RPM's were so low. But after I did 4.88 I thought I would notice a big difference in power, but it...

    Replacement turbo

    That is weird. I can't believe it is that different from 3.42 to 4.10. But I am curious as to why. I had a suburban lifted with 36" tires and it had 3.42, I put 4.88 in it and really didn't notice much of a difference in power. I have way better acceleration from idle to say, 2000 rpm than...

    Exactly

    Replacement turbo

    I think people are mistaking lag for not seeing the boost gauge move. After buying one(ATT) I wood never go back. Truck accelerates better at 0 PSI of boost than the GM 8 did at 4 or 6 or 8. The truck accelerates better from idle to 1/8 throttle than it did with the GM8 idle to 1/2 throttle...

    What are the best front Rotors for the money for our 96 6.5TD K1500 Suburban?

    That's where I got them Brake Performance, not Performance Brakes. http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/Premium-Dimpled-and-Slotted-Brake-Rotors.php Slotted and dimpled

    What are the best front Rotors for the money for our 96 6.5TD K1500 Suburban?

    I put Performance Brake Rotors on about a year ago that are slotted and dimpled with Hawk brake pads, and the truck stops way better than it did with what ever the brakes were that were on it.
