    Thinking of pulling the plug on my 6.2.

    I have a reman i.p. pump on the shelf. Suppose to have hardened military innards to run on anything. And a set of reman injectors with the pop off pressure cranked up just bit. I'll see if I can locate the specs.

    Thinking of pulling the plug on my 6.2.

    At the risk of getting political, 1) drill baby drill, 2) tap the strategic oil reserve, and 3) while the mandate fever is still strong mandate energy independence for the US of A. There'd be overnight relief at the pump. Apologies in advance if I crossed the line...

    Thinking of pulling the plug on my 6.2.

    I have a turbo kit for it. A used Banks unit. It's a 3/4 ton, it got 17 mpg with a 3.73 gear. (2wd). It has some surface rust, but the interior is fine. Nice truck, really. Loved driving it. Even found a brand new turbo the Banks is based on. Just without the logo and price tag! I'm putting efi...

    Thinking of pulling the plug on my 6.2.

    it's been sitting for 7-8 years now. Had a fuel problem somewhere in the system. I want to rig a jug & see if I can get it to run right at the i.p. Its.in a 90 burb, have no idea if its the original engine or not. I would love an Optimizer or P400, just don't have that kind of $$ for an old...

    They surely act bigger than they are! Our terminex guy thought we had a Shepard, he was stunned to little miss thing! She had her stitches removed yesterday, we had her spayed. Didn't slow her down a bit.

    P400 In The '95 K2500

    Very nice. Color me jealous! I would love one myself, or an Optimizer. Just can't justify the $$ now that I'm retired. Just picked up a 79 K5 with a 400 in it. I like it very much. Might build a warmed over unit for my diesel burb if the engine's shot. (6.2). Did get new shoes put on the mule...

    Sucker for those eyes. That's why I have 3 exes... Lol? Seriously, I couldn't break them up. I watched them team up and flush out a pair of cats at the rest area. Of course, we have 2 cats to begin with. They are all too funny together.

    The Black one is an 10-11ish y.o. male, the Tan one is just at a year or so according to the vet. They got their vaccines upgraded Tues., so there street legal now. The tan one is a Chi-weenie, part Chihuahua and part Daschound. Typical yapper, but a real love bug. He is just as laid back, no...

    You will love it, I gar-un-tee! Basically, I want a bulletproof tourer/daily driver that'll out last me. Light/moderate towing and family stuff. I'm 60, with some semi serious genetic health issues kicking in. I just bought myself a pristine 79 K5 as a retirement gift to myself. A well built...
