...for $150 I couldn't say no!
Found it on Craigslist, advertised as a low mileage engine removed from a CUCV Blazer. Appears to be in good shape. No oil leaks, paint on the oil pan and block, nothing visibly broken. The idea is to strip it to a long block to use to build a center mount turbo...

Okay so here's the deal. I am planning a center mount turbo build for my truck. I have been stockpiling parts such as exhaust manifolds from a van engine, and a 2nd gen Dodge intercooler. I have also stockpiled some cooling parts, Heath's super cool kit, and a new radiator. I don't plan on using...
I have a new-in-box Walbro FRC-10 lift pump for sale. Purchased from Leroy as a spare when my first pump leaked and never wound up using it. Includes barbed fittings necessary to adapt to factory fuel line fittings. Has never been plugged in, or had fuel run though it. All that is needed to...
Changed my batteries tonight. Cake. Truck started and ran fine as normal. Let it run about 10 mins or so (had been run 2hrs prior), drove for about 5 mins. Oil psi was about 50psi, temp was about 180, truck has 195 tstats that are sticking open and takes it awhile to get all the way to temp...
I had a hard time finding specific information on these tires for trucks like ours prior to purchasing, hopefully I can shed some light for people in the market.
The Nitto Trail Grappler is an all-season mud tire with big, beefy lugs. They are M+S rated, and available in many sizes and load...
Newbie question, but who is user robzombie4551 on youtube? He has several videos running an ATT, HX40, WTA intercooler, and several tunes as well. Who is it?
So my truck supposedly got a new engine at 100k, but I don't have any paperwork from the PO on it. The driver side valve cover says "Goodwrench New 6.5L", and I haven't been able to find much info on it. I assume the engine was built after the truck, which is a 96. Right now, I am looking to...
Giving some consideration to a Heath tune seeing as I am not sure how long it will take to accomplish my dream of a DB2/NV4500 swap. I want the truck to have more power, but not blow to pieces. I am not studded, and currently running an HX35 with a 12cm housing. If I gate the turbo to about...
Looking for a complete engine to use for my build. Preferences are 93 and older, can be a 6.2 I suppose. OR, something newer with a good block #. Can be running or not, but not looking for any basket cases that are too far gone. Located in CT, can travel for the right deal. Have cash. What have...
Need to upgrade my lift pump, the Napa Carter pump isn't liking these cold temperatures and isn't kicking on with any remote kind of power. Figured the best bet would be to go with an FRC-10. I am not sold on on-the-frame spin on filters yet, due to common issues with systems like FASS and...
Okay guru's this is one is for you. Here we go. 1996 K2500 OBD2. 175k miles, 75k on engine.
Symptom: Intermittent hard starting. Extended period of cranking for truck to fire. Starts to fire and slowly comes to life, runs, skips, puffs, coughs for first 2 mins. After that, runs fine. Drives...
Well fellas, it looks like some things are finally starting to take shape on my build. I have nixed a couple previous ideas and have set off in a new direction. The plan is to do a complete drivetrain swap, engine, trans, and transfer case. Drastic? Maybe. My replacement engine (with supposedly...
I had the crank sensor replaced on my truck about 4-5 months ago after I was experiencing prolonged cranking to start. Have not had any issues at all till today. I washed my truck, and washed the engine. Soaped and sprayed the top of the engine, intake manifold, ac pump, etc. Did not direct...
So I am still trying to come up with a game plan for this HX40 install. Its a 4" V band outlet on the turbo, like on a Dodge, where the down pipe meets the turbo from behind, not like on a 6.5 where the down pipe comes up underneath an elbow. I will be running a 4" diamond eye system, with the...
Has anyone ever hooked up the "output" of the CDR to a port in the down pipe or other section of the exhaust? I currently run a dripper tube down to the ground because I don't like the idea of dirty, oily air going back thru the turbo and engine. Would connecting the CDR to a vacuum-like type of...
Okay, so here's a story, tell me what you think.
Not long after I bought my truck, it developed a smoking problem. If I was going up a hill, or was under any kind of acceleration, it would smoke. Not just a little wisp, a fairly good amount. It got to the point where I could barely drive the...
I have had pretty good luck selling stuff lately, my PYO wheels, light bar, etc. So its time for some good parts for my truck. I picked up a K47 box with a new AFE filter last week for $115 shipped, and I just ordered a 4" Diamond Eye straight pipe system from Autoplicity.com, $225 plus $12 UPS...
