    Swapping Heath Chip?

    Softer spring and longer arm on the wastewater. ***edit: Wastewater? WTF? I meant Wastegate! :D

    Thoughts on Vaccination shots?

    Measles. Lots of potential side effects. Mumps: you haven't lived till you see a 23 yr old man get mumps and it doesn't hang out in the neck lymph nodes, but instead migrates to more tender regions. Polio: friends of mine as kids wore the Forrest Gump leg braces because of polio. Remember people...

    Thanks, Les... now I feel better. Not any faster, but better! :D

    40 MB down? Oh, we hates you nasty Bagginses...

    Added A Manual TCC Switch

    I dunno ... when I towed without using the TCC lock, I overheated like crazy. Keep in mind that's in the hills, or in big winds, and it gets crazy hot up here, too. As soon as I got the TCC lock mod done, I noticed an instant difference in my towing. I overheated FAR less, and the truck could...

    It's fast like lightning tonight. Should have seen it this morning before I left for work. Ugh...

    Added A Manual TCC Switch

    Thanks, WW... Got a question though... I had my TCC lock mod for 3 years and a ton of miles pulling 10k 5er around through those little Rockies. I used it for compression braking through all that, a lot. Never saw a code either. I was under the impression there was a difference between OBD1...

    What is a good WIFI router?

    I hate you. All of you. 35Mb? I'm lucky to get 5 mbps down and 0.9 up. I can get about 15 on 3g wireless, but it's crazy expensive and my plan only has 2gb. When I'm out on site I eat that up fast.

    Swapping Heath Chip?

    I had a 94 with a GM4 that would drag you all over the yard backwards... Simple stuff: Air in, exhaust out, Heath Chip, Turbomaster (some home-made ones just don't work that good, sorry guys, no offense, but they don't.), Tuning (timing) the IP is critical. If it doesn't work after that, THEN...

    Added A Manual TCC Switch

    It's great for deceleration (engine braking), and for keeping your engine temps down while pulling. I'd be pretty careful doing WOT shifts, though; it isn't all that hard to split the shafts with everything locked up direct.

    6.5L TD Motorhome repair/repower

    Yep, there it is!

    Tuning

    You might also try to contact BJ (Great White) ... he was tuning 6.5L OBD2, and knew lots about that. I haven't spoken with him or with Dennis in a long time.

    Do you need a little accumulator tank\parse valve to make that setup work properly?

    Have a Happy and Safe New Year, my brothers. Hope you all have a great 2015!

    Long, slow build of my truck

    You gotta remember, your (stock) ECM still thinks it has a GM-8 turbo (which it doesn't) and that it has vacuum control of the Westgate (which it hasn't). All the MAP is gonna do in your situation is stop your ECM from 'seeing' an overboost situation and defueling. You aren't getting to that...

    Long, slow build of my truck

    Changing the MAP resistor doesn't change your boost. it changes how much boost your ECM 'sees', by altering the input scale. With stock setups, that changes how the ECM will defuel things if the combined boost seems too high.

    How often do you use 4 wheel drive.

    You aren't supposed to do the Evil Knievel thing in front of the kids, Simon. Now you're gonna have trouble convincing them to 'drive safe, like Dad does'. :D Glad you're ok, pal.

    I read somewhere to NOT use a magnetic oil pan heater

    Yep, those ones! I always made sure the oil pan was REALLY clean, and used to use seal-all around the edges.

    I read somewhere to NOT use a magnetic oil pan heater

    Cold weather starting is a normal thing up here. --Block heaters: normally 600w, can get up to 1000w. I had one of each; depending on ambient temps and length of warm up time needed, I could then use 600w, 1000w, or 1600w. --Circulating coolant heaters. Most big equipment uses these. Come in...
