    Low Temp

    In Tulsa, I'd call the dealer to check stock then go pick one up. Heck, if I was in the neighborhood I'd do it for you. Happy baby, by the way.

    CDR and Turbo ?

    I'd change to a different filter. That one obviously is restricting flow enough to create excess vacuum when you get on it. Remember, each engine is a little different; like people.

    New Seats well sort of

    As cold and remote as it is at ElginAFB, AK... I bet it's the old 3; price, availability, and personal preference. Maybe they're even heated? Semper Vig, my friend.

    Air filter

    K&N filters are not what they used to be; "revolutionary" and "great". I tried many, and S&B works best for me. It's the biggest dual cone one from their catalog that I could fit, bigger than the one in their CAI. My currnt setup transmits less vibration noise than stock, as it it supported by...

    ATT run vs. HX40II

    Please forgive my ignorance, but... Do we HAVE to run the precups? What will happen if we drill them out larger so the injectors spray in straight? WW, Is there a thread on your 6 switchable tunes? How did you do it, is it available as a kit? So many questions. Thanx.

    Thinking of selling my truck

    :iagree: Having had to deal with the smog BS for 4 or so decades, I'd keep the '99. I've been getting as many pre-smog ('75 and older) runners as I need. It's much better in the long run for money in maintenance and parts. Added to the fact that that I have a hard time NOT modifying my...

    Purolater vs. Napa Gold oil filter for a 6.5 Diesel Engine

    Filter numbers? My Wally's has no accurate guide to the filters. What are the numbers for the wix and Napa gold long er filters? Thanx. I have run K&N, and many others. The filters have not made any difference to me as I have had no failures or pressure problems. I HAVE noticed differences...

    New Lift Pump Needed, Which To Buy? Delphi? AC Delco? Carter? Airtex?

    They are designed to be vertical, it's in the factory tech info. I had installed mine horizontally at first, then remounted it vertically and it ran better. When you install the pressure gauge, get all the air out of the tube AND the gauge; that improved my readings by 2-3 psi. it's not the...

    Camber Caster Bolt Kit; Which to Get? 1995 Suburban 4x4 2500

    Sooo, I'll have to take off the hardware on the ends of that long bolt where the bushings are to knock out the metal so that the hole is oblong, then reassemble and then adjust, right?

    New Lift Pump Needed, Which To Buy? Delphi? AC Delco? Carter? Airtex?

    AIRTEX Part # E8153 Solenoid; 12 volts; 10-14 PSI; 35 GHP; 3/8 hose; Diesel Engines $39.79 It's the only universal they list for DIESEL and blended fuels, I suppose it means it's OK for biodiesel too. I'd check before I ordered it. HOWEVER, it's the same basic design as the crap oem...

    Blow By

    I ran an OLD Cat engine in a front end loader with a LOT of blowby. in cold mornings the oil vapors would condense in the draft tube and drip. I stuck an empty coke can on the end to catch the drips and avoid EPA construction site fines. I don't remember changing the can, but I must have...

    Blow By

    I tried the road draft tube and it increased the oil drips under the engine. Then I went to a longer, larger diameter tube from the tuna can and decreased the oil consumption and eliminated the drips. Increasing the ID of the flow from the CDR decreasec the velocity, given the same vacuum...

    Block heaters

    Not so much in South California... but When visiting family in the North (Nova Scotia, Seattle, Idaho, and soon Cape Cod Mass. or Alaska; they haven't decided yet) I use my glued-on oil pan heater overnight, then when I wake up, I turn on the 'tank' heater and it is ready for instant...
