    Turbo to intake cooling.

    Like others said it won't do much. In addition to surface area contact inside vs outside velocity is too high inside vs outside and no big difference in Temp with wall. I have wondered if in small diameter applications with larger delta T like oil cooler lines if they might add some merit...

    1986 GMC C6000 PS fluid running out from between the MC and Hydro booster

    The PS pump is a vane pump I think it will sorta self-limit pressure. But with age, something might have stuck. For reference, I think mine wept maybe a 1/4-1/2 cup or so of fluid??? Not constant but wet the frame under the HB. It did not pour out that I remember. Might have...

    1986 GMC C6000 PS fluid running out from between the MC and Hydro booster

    How much leakage are we talking about? Now that you mention it mine wept some fluid out of a weep hole on the underside of the bore. I was worried about it first and think there is an old post on it here somewhere. I think its lube so the bore won't rust on the shelf. It might have to...

    Intake project

    Watching and learning. I like the PWR barrel-style W/A coolers and keep air direction changes to a minimum. Dreaming I would like one incorporated directly in route from turbo to central intake. Or doing the big box W/A central to feed your intake runners? I like that the intake will be...

    1986 GMC C6000 PS fluid running out from between the MC and Hydro booster

    This is the correct thread to reply to sorry about any confusion. I don't know much. I replaced my hyro boost a few years ago. When I installed mine iirc I put the return hose to a bucket and it would dump a return stroke of PS fluid when I let off the pedal. Again its been a while seems I...

    Past Driver for Extreme Hauling

    I don't know much. I replaced my hyro boost a few years ago. When I installed mine iirc I put the return hose to a bucket and it would dump a return stroke of PS fluid when I let off the pedal. Again its been a while seems I turned wheel lock to lock and would press pedal slowly then when I...

    Past Driver for Extreme Hauling

    Does it immediately leak or once the brake pedal is released after the first press of pedal?

    What's In Your Pocket?

    The overall consumer welfare is still very good and beneficial to all. I and assume most people like to know the flow of traffic on their travel route. I don't like my phone battery gets consumed when I am not actively using it is probably my biggest gripe as of now. And it's not always...

    Ducted Fuel Injection: The Future of Diesel?

    Interesting. Sorta looks like an open rear precup. I have often wondered about the dead end cave shape of the existing IDI and thought that was the limiting thing that "choked the injection flame".

    And So It Begins

    Somewhat related I think schools are a pretty neat idea for solar because they are mainly day-use facilities and during the summer months many schools sit idler with less need for electricity. If they were solar roofed/fielded then during the summer they could be feeding the grid with the same...

    94 GMC Yukon 6.5L diesel, looking for advice/info on rebuilds, etc.

    Welcome. My thoughts are depends on goals and budget. Is the truck worth it? 350 is dirt cheap in comparison! Why rebuild? Hi milage, blowby, low oil pressure? Loss of power? Want to tow better? Any current mods or upgrades? Injection pump? Should get at least the better water pump later...

    Battery Life Expectancy For 6.2 Diesel Vehicles?

    I usually get a contributing factor like an alternator or corrosion so not sure if battery always is to blame. Seems like about 4-5 years for regular lead acid type Interstate or store brand O'riely's etc.

    Things to look for when buying?

    That is mostly geared towards a 6.5. I would guess the newer trucks might need more technology to inspect say something like a scanner that can measure balance rates of injectors??? With the expense of the newer injectors and IP's etc I think I may want some receipts or proof of maintenance...

    Looking for some help

    I played with car code and have some real world numbers but as always would depend on location and details. I am running a palstic dmax fan HO water pump with restrictor fitting 180F robert shaw stats. My dash guage shows about ~175-180F My fuel heat soaked to about 143F. Today partly...

    Car Code "Alex C. Peper" DB9 - usb adapter any substitute?

    Finally got it but I clicked on so much stuff not sure how. I bought a "Plugable" usb adapter that came with a disc (it came in a box and the disc survived shipping). The computer is old running software that is out of date think its win 7. I couldn't down load a driver from the website to...

    Drivetrain vents?

    I'd say only need a strainer/basic filter over the end so dirt dobbers or bees/insects don't clog up the hose. I have seen some little plastic hat thingies stuck in the end. I have a JD tractor that the clutch bell housing was sealed and it rusted from condesation? A lot of people (that...

    Oil coming out

    How many miles and condition of the truck. AK beat me to it while I was typing As in excessive oil or its wettish? Its normal for the intake of a 6.5 to be wettish. After years my rubber hose turbo to intake manifold is sorta oil soaked. The turbo pulls oil vapor out of the engine to...

    Looking for some help

    Did the fuel temperature change? Your Original post of 140F seemed in line with a typical value of 159F and the expected range of (50-194F). But those typical values are not qualified as idling, heat soaked, or other. Nor does it talk about winter/summer or today's low sulfur/bio blends...

    Car Code "Alex C. Peper" DB9 - usb adapter any substitute?

    I have the old car code PC software by Alex C. Peper. I don't see his old website but he seems to have an android version of it with Carcoded dot com. The version of CarCode I have uses a OBD-II plug to what I think is called a DB9 or RS-232 cable then a DB9 to usb adapter. The car code...
