Continue doing 3,000 miles changes Or Do lab tests to find out if you should do them sooner or can run longer & save money.

3k is the normal for this engine. But your use, yourfuel,your oil choice, condition of engine all can change that. Towing a lot shortens it, city driving shortens it, all kinda of variables. The best thing to do is send a sample off to blackstone labs (or similar) and find out how long your...

“I replaced the internal harness with a Rostra brand replacement and the new one also leaks.” New parts don’t mean good parts. Replace it again. Be sure to sprat the connector down with electrical contact cleaner. Always start by replacing any known faulty parts.

When using a temp gun, understand you can NOT yet good readings from the shiny surface of the rotor face due to emmisivity variance. Shoot the edge of the rotor. Remember to check rear brakes. Although less common it can cause it too. As to our friend from Ohio- yuppers. These are old trucks...

Something we have to realize is the USA made ones don’t solve all the problems- they are the problems. So looking at others is not a bad idea just risk never is fun when the only gain is save part of the money vs loose all the money & then some. @Quadstar Tuning LLC have you guys looked at...

Yeah- didn’t meet the $90k minimum bid so no sale.

Yes. Thats why I promote balanced rotating assembly, replacing HB every 100,000 miles. The higher compression adds to it. Yes the low compression/ higher turbo is hard but only as hard on it when you are pushing it that high of boost which is FAR less often than every cycle! Then simply...

This is why there is only a couple of ways to attack the 6.2/6.5 problem. Find cheap used engines and just replaced them as they blow up. We used to be able to do this all the time easily those days are gone. Buy a used engine, hoping for the best. Rip it all apart and make the necessary...

Not with my money

They made the heads too- better than gm heads but still can crack between the valves from heat. This is a likely location for the combustion gas into coolant. I’m now of the opinion that any head other than p400 heads will get the brass tube insert into the steam pockets. It simply seems it...

No. I think there are some of us still trying to find a high power point that has a long life. We have just realized it takes a little more cash, and invest in strength over power on the 60/40 scale rather than 50/50.

Yup- optimizer😁. Right rear of block near head is the julian date code-shoot a pic of that

Gonna need to set up a video camera on the clear ip return line looking for a one time burp of air. Outside of that possibility (which I doubt now) that is in yonder electronicals of the ip/pmd/ignition power to them/ magical pixies are not happy.

CoverLand Leather on the new to us 2013 tahoe. They were on sale for $230 front seats & middle row bench seat. We don’t have/don’t want the 3rd row. Haven’t had these ones for a lot of miles yet but so far I really like these. I haven’t installed the rear one yet.

Have it polished & see how far it would have to go to fix the nicks. When removing or installing conn rods- put rubber or plastic protectors over the rod bolts- few bucks is a smart investment. Are you balancing the rotating assembly? A wise investment if you can afford it. When they do...

I would not pull the one glow plug. As to how long for block heater- over night will get it toasty and hurt nothing other than your power bill goes up $0.03. (Joking- no idea on poser bill- haha) If the block heater 100% solves it- then chase the glow plugs and circuitry along with...

Drove two 6.5 ds4 trucks this am - nothing odd in reverse. Me thinks you and our Alaskan buddy are having some kind of related hiccup. Ya both live close to Canada… coincidence? Idk…😂

Haha- yeah, I call those “insurance tools”. Having the specialized tool insures I won’t need to use it again. Awesome to see this coming together for you man!

I agree EXCEPT he said there is no air in the clear line. It is for sure fuel is draining back because of the pressure drop. But it isn’t all draining back enough to allow an air pocket. Basically it isn’t “draining” back as much as the pressure is pushing back a small amount of the fuel...

Really? I’ve never noticed anything that we didn’t find an issue to. Can someone do a video? If electronic then I would definitely jump to a harness somewhere ot being happy. Now I wanna snag up one or two of the 6.5 trucks at work today and go play with it on break time & lunch at work today...
