    The hose store? Blew the old one on a Friday nite, no one had an OEM in stock. So I went to an industrial supply outlet. Picked up that ridiculous thing for $40. Never have to worry about it blowing again

    Figured they had something to do with the lines. Found this a mystery because the #506 doesn't have any and there aren't 6 more to go with the other lines These are off the #141 with the cracked piston. Them, & a 10mm nut are the only parts unaccounted for. Considering this is my 1st engine...

    Figured so on the locktite. Torque converter bolts had red on them from when I had it rebuilt.

    Anyway, I have a torque of 65ft/lbs for the flywheel, can't find specs for the flexplate. Anyone know if it's also 65?

    Like I said, I know nothing about them. Is the fan still driven by the water pump?

    Is the grille restrictive on hummers? Not familiar with them at all, only actually ever seen 1 or maybe 2. They're not common around here at all.

    I had serious EGT issues too. Still do just not as serious. The PO had removed the soot trap and replaced it with 1 7/8" ID pipe. Replaced it with DE straight pipe. Helped a lot, sounds great. I've discovered roughly ~6psi boost stops egts from climbing as quick.

    I knew you were going to say that...:happy: It was #8. Had my old injectors tested, 7 tested poor, and the one on #8 opened at 100 bar- failed miserably. Was heat a contributing factor? Most likely. It had an HO water pump in it when I got it, proving it had heat issues for a while. I also...

    I'm aware of the standard vs H.O. vs thread-on water pumps Long story short... When I got this truck it had HORRIBLE overheating issues. Pulling >16,000lbs in the mountains in the Alberta "summer" (Nothing over 90°) Last year i got prepared to install a new rad, HO water pump, duramax fan...

    I should clarify, i was searching for a fishbite for over a year. Everyone on "#@&$%*place" said I had contaminated fuel, so I tore everything apart in search of it. Fuel tank to FFM. Didn't help at all. Turns out, it was bad A&B shift solenoids. They replaced the bypass o-ring too and gave it...

    My FSU is acDelco and had the proper sock, I made damn sure of that. And I know my fuel is clean right up to the FFM. For now. I completely cleaned out the FFM, (missing heater ORING), feed the beast & new hoses to the IP. I plan on priming everything up to the IP with the Leroy button, then...
