I want to upgrade from the GM 4 to either a HX35w or HX40, how's your experience with CKO turbos been? Should I bother, or search for a real holset HXxx (used) and work with that?

Are you still building these?

I'm looking to replace my already relocated black PMD with a new GREY PMD with a new adapter harness and resistor, for more piece of mind. HOWEVER I see a DIPACO unit is available, anyone hear of...... or use one of these? Are they reliable? I hear the Stanadyne grey was the most reliable stock...

Ultimately I'd like to get and share the hard numbers on the most available upgrades to this 6.5 engine. With how high the cost of diesel is these days I think such information is handy. Turbo master, optical bump, free flowing air filter,tires, oils, can be reported. This unit can report 0-60...

Very useful informatIon guys! I'd hoped a scangaugeii would work, but obd1 is just a simple system, 1 step above a mechanical type system. This MPGunio needs to see a pulse that varies in width that opens the injector for that time, being a diesel that pulse would run the pump. Hence pulses from...

Yes I do that too, but I'd like to know instant mileage instead.

Moose!

I'm going to purchase a MPGunio gauge for mpg gauge, they are programmable and versatile, BUT they are built for gas engines. They monitor a fuel injector pulse duration ad calculate mpg from that signal and pulses from the speedo system. I'd like to tap into the PMD for this signal. Anyone know...

So when the engine is at low revs, 1.5 k or so (actually from idle ) the computer throws low voltage out to the vac solenoid allowing exhaust to escape through the waste gate instead of building pressure. Whether or not 5-7 volts is enough to reduce the vac isn't much of an issue but it does...

I built a turbo master device for my 94, and I am very happy with the results, and I realize that if driven wrong I will use more fuel, I did build it for pulling power. However, has anyone reduced the boost for economy? My assumption is that you should be able to reduce boost to a certain point...

Im in, a switchable eprom in my truck nice!

With the diesel prices lately, I'd love to purchase an economy chip for my 1994... But are you guys finding modest improvements in the economy state of tuning these OBD1 chips? I also pull a trailer for camping at times and I would like a chip that gives the much needed highway power without...

Any more info on this topic?

It really sounded like a "TING"! It sounded like someone was beating on a half inch steel pipe with a small hammer and it was not around the harmonic balancer! Hence why I worried about lowering the compression in my cylinders down to none! Thanks for the replies, I hope it helps someone... BIG...

SO I've seen the youtube videos where the 6.5 is idling and reving, and the engine has a ting type sound directly linked to fuel delivery, some said "injectors", "PMD", "IP", "LIFTERS", belt, pullies, harmonic balancers rod and main bearings among other possibilities. No one reported finding...

I adjusted the bi-metal coil on my fan clutch by 1/8 inch (outward making the clutch engage sooner) , the fan now comes on with AC and 80f days, right about when the thermostat opens. (I found the instructions and info in one of these forums) I did adjust it to about 1/4 inch outward the first...

AC Jake Brake I used to drive an S10 4.3 4x4 with AC, when that sucker kicked in, it slowed the truck down! I used it going down steep hills with lots of curves, so it was slow going, the AC would slow me down enough I'd save using the brakes! (I just read a ways back about using the AC as a...

do you have a dual mass flywheel? It would be good to switch to a solid one, I just did and what a difference in shifting. I got a complete kit for $600 Canadian, vs 1200-1400 for a dual mass flywheel. Please post pics of the turbomaster, I'm building one very soon, I'm using a #49 compression...

If you get to Montana then Washington State isn't too far away, you can see the DRY Falls, they were larger than Niagra Falls, then over to see Gand Coulie Dam. Canada is just a few hours North...

I just looked at their site, and a chip for my truck is listed! (And I thought the OBD1 was like a commadore 64 in today's world), the turbo is a great price too! Bolt on kit is just what I'm after, why re-invent the wheel?.....
