Greetings all, It's been a while since I've posted a thread, been very busy with my swap and will share it all when I am done. I hit a snag in my progress, and for the life of me, can't seem to figure it out. I started the truck and have no tach, or volt gauge activity, and no charging. I...

Hi Guys, Not sure who is all checkin' the conversion section, but I thought I would introduce my upcoming project. My 6.5 cracked a block or head or something, so that was all the coaxing I needed to look at other options. I recently bought a 1992 dodge D350 cummins with 224000kms on the...

I am miffed! Problem 1: This summer I was pulling my camper down to Grand Forks ND to spend the weekend, got there and noticed my overflow tank was puking coolant. That was a downer for sure. Tried not to think about it too much, topped up the coolant for the ride home, no issues, but when I...

Well, it hasn't left me anywhere yet, but I suspect my ignition switch is gone. Every now and then, I turn the key and cycle glows, and nothing happens. Wait ten minutes or fifeteen, try again and it cranks and starts. Any ideas? Is it the ignition key tumbler, or the ignition switch in the...

A while back I read a post by gmctd about how to adjust the kick-on temp of the stock fan clutch. Quote:Remove the RTV glob from the slot - pull the angled section of the bi-metal strip outta the slot, gently straighten the angle, bending to conform to the rest of the coil, leaving a very...

Hi Guys, Just put in a rebuilt injection pump from pensacola fuel injection. Have some data here from the Snap on MODIS scanner: Coolant Temp : 92 deg. C. Act Timing : 11.0 Des. Timing: 10.9 TDC offset: -1.14 Am I good as far as timing goes, or do I need to make some adjustments...

On friday I went to have breakfast with my buds, 7:15 am. Had to quickly drop off some movies, you know, late charges suck. So I get out of the truck and, its still idling, and hear this rather loud ticking/knocking. Oh crap! I open the hood and it sounds like it is coming from the DS valve...

Hey everyone. Felt ambitious this week, and decided to build myself a "true" cold air intake, not just an elbow with a filter on it. I teach introductory sheet metal, so I have access to some tools that make life little easier on a project like this. I had to flatten the top of the fender well...

I am wondering if there are procedures and measurements(via scanner) to determine whether or not my IP is in good shape or on it's way out. I would like to have some solid indicators prior to changing it.:thumbsup: Thanks, Mike

Hi guys, here's the story: my injection pump is getting long in the tooth and will need to be replaced soon, starting to lose some throttle response. What I would like to know is: is there a way we can check to see the mileage on an IP after it has been swapped out? I have 2 - DS4831-5288 pumps...

Hi everyone! I tried a search on the subject, but couldn't find anything. I just bought a travel trailer a couple of weeks ago and was wondering what the consesus is on towing in overdrive. My truck has 3.73 gears and I would like to know what the majority think. I haven't got a trans guage...

I got my high idle mod done today. What a sweet thing that is!:D My truck warmed up twice as fast.:thumbsup: For those of you who have already done this, you know what I'm talking about, but if you haven't, and you live in the "great white north", I would highly recommend it. I can't believe I...

Good day everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get a wiring harness that will adapt the newer, quicker style of actuator(electric) to the old style plug on the truck. My buddy wants to upgrade, but GM wants over a 100 bucks for just the adapter. Any info here would be great. If a...

When Dieseldad and I were working on his truck, we were discussing the results of the our trucks going into limp mode. Each of us had some questions that I could not find the answer to in the ref. material, so maybe some of you brilliant all knowing people can shed some light the the subject...

Well, I finally got around to installing my cooler lines and cooler, bought from Dave12, a fellow former 6.5er. What a mess! :eek:I was black from head to toe! I tell you nobody was thinking of servicability when they thought up that system, or at least could have used better fitting and...

I have been mulling this over and I believe that you get better readings from the transmission outlet cooling line than in the pan, but that may be wrong. Looking for your opinions as to which is a better indication of trans temp. Secondly, what is the OD size of the cooling lines at the trans...

I know lots of people are runnning the GL4, but has anyone tried the GLE and if so, how would it compare? Which is more practical for all around work/daily driver keeping in mind the price of that dang fuel.

Well, this may have been asked before, but I can't find it. My IP is original on my truck. Now remember I am in Kilometers, so about 155 000 miles on it now. I am finding my fuel mileage horrible! It has been a gradual occurence I think. The new injectors didn't do much. I would like to know if...

I know this may sound like a silly question, but how low can I set my T/M without having issues? I was thinking of doing a mileage comparison on lower boost vs. where I have it set now. 12-14 WOT, 4-6 sustained. My logic tells me that I should be able to run almost no boost and have no issues...

Well, I finally felt called to make a turbo master. It's been on my mind for a while, but you know how it is, sometimes you just don't feel like it. Anyway, I used the original wastgate actuator(why re-invent the wheel), 5/16 threaded rod with flat washers, a 5/16 nut with nylon locking...
