    Lift Pump Swap

    On Edit (too late to edit above), here's a better look at the pump mocked up with the provided PureFlow hoses and push locks. Going back to 2013, The main issue with my installation was making the stock mounting hardware work with the 2 ½” deep ‘C’ Frame on the truck. There was/is a need for...

    Lift Pump Swap

    Finally putting the AirDog back on. I've been running an off the O'Reilly's shelf Lift Pump for a few years. My 'Diesel Site' had gone Tango Uniform while on the road coming back up to Utah from AZ. Cross the border, Zero fuel pressure. Fortunately, I was able to do a quick diesel bath swap...

    air in the lines???

    Welcome to The Truck Stop Fastasu. Yeah, sure sounds like air is entering into the fuel system. Especially if you had to bleed the system and it started and ran fine immediately afterwards. When you bled the system, did you do that at the Filter’s bleed screw or through the T-Valve at the...

    CDR Leak on Heath intake boot

    Take the pieces you've got to include the intake to a specialty shop like House of Rubber or Hose, Rubber Supply or some such equivalent and see what they may have. I've done that a few times and have come up with ideas for projects in the past. Be it the truck, pressure washer or air compressor...

    Turbo blanket

    I used a DEI Turbo blanket on the A-Team Turbo and used their header wrap for the length of the down pipe as well as the cross over pipe. Turbo's like it hot.

    CDR Leak on Heath intake boot

    3/4" is the outer diameter. Don't know the thread pitch. It could very well be NPT (3/8"?). Had it for years so, yeah, no record or memory. It wouldn't work with the S&[O]B unit which has its own fail design for the CDR connection. The threads help with a little bite in the intake tube. Used...

    CDR Leak on Heath intake boot

    I had issues trying to make the stock piece at the end of the CDR tube work with my Heath GenII set up. Subbed in 3/4” double male brass pipe, about 2” long and worked for me for years w/o issues.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Will do on the headlight vid. They are mounted to the core support with all four bolts so it’s simply quality of workmanship with the adjuster assy. Today I’m just doing a couple small things like a post trip oil change and exchanging the air cleaner set up back to the Heath 1st Gen that S&B...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Maybe its because the manufacturers only produce POS anymore?

    Mine surged better than that and made waaay more smoke…. before I fixed it.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Kinda mixed. This was actually the first extended drive with any real night time driving. Illumination and beam cast are all one could want. Alignment…yeah, not so much. The headlight housings don’t stay put. Slightest pressure (cleaning bugs off for example) and they move and stay in the...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    890 mile straight shot from Centralia WA to home. Spousal unit came down with the crud. Trip over. Put it in the wind about 0430 Pacific. With multiple stops for, er, needs and some really good food in The Dallas, we were home B4 10pm Mountain. I don’t drive the truck over 70-75 unless I’m...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Drove it w/o incident or worries of having any issues out to Welches OR from SLC. Checked out the Salt Flats and stopped to help a couple of girls stuck in the mud. A young Soldier and his wife were already hooking up with their big dodge so I ended up just enjoying the show. Girls were...

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    Sorry for any confusion but it’s not Tim people are upset with, it’s the quality of injectors sourced through Bosch with the “India” nozzles.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    Keep us posted on Tim at Accurate Diesel. I just got off the phone with a friend who said his sources aren't happy with the balance between Bosch injectors they've been getting of late either...nozzles from India. If they're having issues, everyone is having them. So much for trust...Buy, send...

    Eye connectors

    Fuel Pressure at the T-Valve at the thermostat housing will work as jrsavoie stated. It is actually post FFM, runs pretty much under the IP and the lines are 1/4" inner diam. If you're looking to install a permanent gauge pre-IP / Post FFM here's a brass T-Block idea. Multiple barbs for...

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    FWIW My last set came from Quadstar tuning and they tested fine out of the box. I just looked at his site (fuel injection) and he has them in stock. At last he doesn’t show them as out of stock like other part listings. I can't post a link because he isn't a site vendor anymore.

    Torque specs on oil filter adapter bolt?

    Can’t find a drawing either. Can’t remember if my original 96 motor had one but, I’ve got it on my current 6.2. Between the bolt and the adaptor. In the shadow….

    Can a 1983 GM 6.2 L diesel block mate successfully with a 1994 6.5 Turbo diesel

    I'm currently running a 6.2 N/A 660 block and just as dbrannon79 said, everything save the oil pan coming off 6.5s fits just fine. Oil Pan: If the 6.2's oil pan's shape is the like your 94's, there will be no 4x4 fitment issues. Injectors: Since you are keeping your 6.5 heads, there's no...
