Hope springs eternal. Had mine commercially ceramic coated…lasted maybe a year.

Try this file and see if it'll print.

Maybe this will help? From the 96 manual but, ODB1 procedures folks are explaining look to be tge same

More happy snaps from the races. Morning “Q” waiting for the officials to open the salt. This one went 365+mph at the 5 mile timing line. The qualifying time was closer to 375 on a 355 record. Yeah, bump it a little higher for next year. Once you qualify or go faster than the current record...

Back from another trip to Bonneville where I used the truck as a “Tool Über”. We ran Mursick’s Karman Gia for the season’s last race, World Finals. Loaded the truck up with my road kit plus awning, chairs, cooler, more power tools, spare wire etc. cause the nearest parts store is about a 1.5...

Those Montana Optimizers are either Cloning or Zombies?

All GPs were removed. The exhaust downpipe wasn’t installed until after we confirmed fuel present and the Glow Plugs, specifically #8, were re-installed. The starter is a non-issue being under the motor and well away. No worries about diesel mist igniting. Not enough heat and zero compression...

After confirming fuel at the FFM, we did the glow plugs removed and disconnecting the glow plug controller for BigT's first start. Took just two 10-15 second iterations before we got mist.

"How long does it take to get fuel to the LP w/empty fuel tank and fuel lines?" The LP can't pull fuel from an empty fuel tank. Sorry, couldn't resist. Once there's fuel in the tank, it doesn't take long at all for the LP to do it's job and running the LP dry won't hurt it until it primes...

Fun day yesterday at Utah Smitty's. Took the upper intake off and barely loosened the IP nuts to see if we could get the IP to maybe turn with the Quadstar Adjustment tool. My thoughts were maybe the Previous Owner had just Permatexed one side of the IP Gasket. Can't hurt to be a positive...

Happy to help. Correct. There are bolt on and spin on fan models but, during the testing, the Spin On one (GM 88894035) produced the best results for the article. Apparently they tried an improved GM pump w/ bolt on fan from 98 w/ dual T-Stats. While it flowed more at 94GPH vs. the older...

From a 2008 MaxxTorque article on the topic of 6.5 engine cooling, “Testing [of multiple pumps] proved that coolant flow was reasonably equal – side-to-side – only at low RPM.” The conclusion of the testing showed GM Pump part number 88894035 (97 and later) was the one that provided the more...

I got them in starting from the rear threading and flexing them forward and being careful to not drag the upper one across the radiator. Takes a little patience and all but, I got it in...and out and back in with the older OEM unit again after we learned the $%^&* line was for a 97+ year 4l80E...

More than one school of thought on the process of breaking in a new motor and I'm not going to argue one over the other. Do what you think is best. FWIW, I broke in my motor driving it like I had a raw egg between my foot and the throttle pedal for the first 1000. Long runs I’d vary speeds by...

Amazon…took some search phrase tweeting but, finally got it locked it in. The Quadstar IP Adjustment tool will be here tomorrow.

New toys arrived to help us out this weekend.

Stationed in Germany and the service contract on the units' Dell Lap Tops included on site service calls to the base for the first year then parts only for the next two. My side duty as the Company Tech Security Officer (actual title long forgotten) was to accompany the service tech. So, I got...

FWIW, my $0.02, It is more about the break in period and how you treat it for the first 1000 miles or so than the tune you're running but, I understand the trepidation. Finally got some work done on my truck this week. Oil change and shocks were on the short list. Were.... It was while...

Yeah, an entertaining day but, unsuccessful on a couple of fronts. 1. No blood spilt. 2. Only two trips to the store for wrenches and a new ECT sensor (sorry Smitty). 3. The nuts torqued to Harmonic Balancer or front axel hub specs 4. Permatex on the IP gasket…PERMATEX! But, it was Friday the...
