I'm thinking an on the fly, six position, changeable tune for the obd II crowd could lead to early retirement for the developer. That and be the most popular kid on the block. Hint hint.
Hey guys, quick question here. I had the heads on the 95 milled about 2 or 3 years ago due to blown gaskets. Since then, I've only put about 5K miles on it. What's the consensus on having to mill them again if I pull them off in the near future? Got a few ideas I'm toying with and i just wasn't...
Do you think the engineers at gm talk together like this? I mean when they're coming up with new ideas and such. As long as its productive and doesn't get too personal... Besides, look at congress lately, some dude went on a paper throwing temper tantrum. And he's supposed to be 'dignified'...
OK, do the two turbos in a compound set-up neccessarily have to be physically different in size? Before you laugh, the compounds on my C-13 are very close in physical size. Does or would that make one or the other work too hard or not hard enough? I know its not a 6.5 engine, but its still a...
If you look at post #17 from the thread titled A TEAM TURBO from 1999GMC (sorry, haven't figured out how to link stuff yet) he has a few pics of a hanging ATA. I like his idea and fully intend on stealing it (the idea) and using it on the 94. No need to worry about turning anything on or off.
I would think the easiest way to swap to a diesel would be a mechanical one. You would only need to switch the throttle peddle to a cable one. If you wanted to stay electronic, I suppose it could be done, but (just guessing - no first hand knowledge) it would be a real pain in the butt.
Jim, The only other place I've heard cryogenic and diesel in the same sentence, is over at great lakes diesel (.com) in New York. They are doing this kinda stuff with 15/16 liter caterpilar engines. According to their site, the do a lot of engines for the trucks that run in 'el rodeo' up by you...
I don't know how extensive they get, but they do give the TBN iirc (total base number?) I think different ppm of iron, copper etc...
Speedco is kinda like jiffy lube for semi's. I just can't justify $350 for a 9 gal oil change, when I can buy the oil and filters for $160 and do it myself.
Look for truck stops with Speedco either on the lot or nearby. My last change looked a.little funky, so ill see what needs to be done (sample size, etc...)
