Also- if anyone has optimizer heads that have no cracks between the valves I am interested. I don’t care about the valves, valve springs. Boyce Equipment stopped selling take off heads long time ago. If anyone knows anyplace that sells them, please let me know.

Man- I would send the Chinese water pump back for one at a brick & mortar authorized Delco retailer store like napa. That sure sounds like a problem of a CKO to me. Not critical but I didn’t paint my gep heads where all the bare metal is and they looked horrible not much later. I suggest some...

Many start then abandon the process. The value of the truck drops and this is a costly process. If you do it -has to be because the truck has special meaning and you are fed up with diesels. Even at that not legal to do in some areas- check with your DMV before beginning. Here is your...

Marty beat me to it while I was typing my book! Haha

Are you 100% it was exhaust gasses not crusty rusty coolant steaming off from it heat up? What you do is a leak down test. Out here parts stores (Oriellys, autozone, etc) that do the ‘free’ rental where you pay for the tool then return it for $ back- rent out the leak down tester. The...

Yes thats a street 90°. I have to double check but think it is 1/2”npt not 3/8.

Having a trapped bubble in the clear line is ok. What is the problem is a trail of bubbles be it intermittent or constant. Getting a bubble that appears and doesn’t travel is normal.

They are safe to use. It used to be buying one, the fill/bleeder valve to fill the top of the line with its oil (baby oil often) and buy the mechanical gauge was far cheaper and more reliable than the electric gauge and a sensor. Times have changed- I ent from recommending them to not...

Imo buy the relay kit with the switch from Leroy. Not expensive and easy install. The switch is great for every time you replace the filter and for situations such as this.https://leroydiesel.com/products/263/ Be careful listening to me- I will have you upgrading the whole rig. You need a...

Turning the key multiple times was just because it is fast diagnosing at the moment. Long term- yes a switch to bypass is the way to go. But so is putting is a real lift pump. But in his current situation - need to find out what all is an issue. @Diyeli You ABSOLUTELY have to fix the leak...

I highly doubt your problem is just a lift pump. As mentioned the injection pump can suck past a dead lift pump by design. crack open the bleeder screw at the fuel filter and cycle the key a few times to see if you are getting fuel up to the filter via the lift pump. What injection pump do...

Wow- thats a nice difference in those two. That will help on the power and mpg department.

I have two pics I took just using iPhone But the site says “The uploaded image is too large” I have always used my iPhone. Any help on this?

@Glagulator great researching find! Your google-fu is well practiced! @Vlad_p01 the link he found shows half of it is a condensor, the other half is an oil cooler. Order that puppy, but still be VERY THOROUGH to examine the rest of the oil lines between it and the engine. Replace anything in...

Yes. When when i get a chance I will post pics of the fittings. Original all steel, one of mine was damaged in the engine swap back in 2004 so I found a bronze one and been running it. The problem with buying hmmwv hoses is they are proper length for a hmmwv and it’s radiator stack which...

Hey now- stop making sense and making it easy by adding the link! 😂

. Idk. Length might not be right, and adapter to the oil cooler would be needed. On my 6.5 pickups, when I changed my hoses, I swapped out the gm crap fittings at the block, bought a better cooler, had the hoses made at the hydraulic shop. So I did. Leroy sells better hoses than stock and...

I think (could be wrong) the part on the 90° can be removed and installed into the block. Just swap these two:

I don’t think you are looking at an ac condensor. I think it is an oil cooler. I think your inexperience has you assuming it is a condenser because many people know what that is but are unfamiliar with full size oil coolers. On 6.2 /6.5 pickups gm used a small (too small imo) oil cooler. On...
