    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Yeah-thats where a permanent mounted fuel pressure gauge thats tapped at the ip inlet and the clear return line being monitored comes into play. I’ve had guys chase an intermittent rough start for years end up tracking it down because the pressure gauge showed a temporary drop in pressure.

    Complete 6.5TD rebuild with used IP and no fuel to injectors!!Help!

    Yes. I can’t remember any years where it doesn’t. Maybe others can speak up if some don’t.

    Complete 6.5TD rebuild with used IP and no fuel to injectors!!Help!

    Ok. Fuel pressure going to the ds4 should be 8-14 psi. But so long as it has any pressure at all it should start & run. The clear line - 1/4” diameter about 5” long that is in place for the ip return line- Please post a pic of it so we see you have the correct location. Having a tiny bubble...

    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    Bolt in cat is far better. Remove it for play time, have it to install when needed. If he added cost of a couple flanges added in is minimal compared to issues that can occur.

    Remote fuel filter

    No I do not have the part number. @Rockabillyrat might have it or might even have a couple on hand he might sell? I wanna say 1983-94 6.9 diesel was the years they ran the db2. I never bought the part myself, I always had a “pump guy” that I could just call in the past. And same thing this...

    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    Yup. And in some states, smog certified shops are required to turn in someone without the gear. Hence my reasoning of store the old parts, you can easily explain the parts were removed for that one particular off road or racing application.

    Remote fuel filter

    The difference is nominal vs absolute. Absolute is NOTHING 14 and larger gets through. nominal is the average that gets through is 14 but could allow a certain percentage up to say 50. So make sure to find the spec difference of absolute & nominal. The Fass water filter is an absolute stop...

    Remote fuel filter

    Imo going to the Fass water separator is worth it. You can get just a spin on mount for that. Not knowing the other one you are looking at- just hope it works for you. The factory ffm has filter, a poor water separator, and a good fuel heater. Depending on your location if you need a fuel...

    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    I don’t have one but have a few friends that do. The dpf delete itself doesn’t alter power. You will see a slight improvement in mpg because when a regen is occurring it burns fuel to do it. But not like you will save huge money. Because the delete costs money, you will be out money for some...

    Hydraulic Clutch Tool worth considering?

    I really can’t remember enough of the gmt400 clutch if this will help or not. I never used one of these and have done half a dozen or so hydraulic clutches in these. Fleets just don’t use manual transmissions unless they have to. The only thing I remember doing them is I hate them and it is...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yeah- some water beat up the differentials a tiny bit but nothing at all to worry over. As mentioned- make sure the breathers are cleaned up. & if you offroad half as much as that is rig deserves it, extend the breather hoses way up high. In hmmwvs they tie the two together then use a small...

    2003 Tahoe w/ 4.8 V8

    Depends if it is a short circuit or a battery draining component with or without key on. Basically measure amperage pulling from battery. Leave the meter in place and pull one fuse at a time. When amps drop- that That will id the circuit. Finding a short circuit- that isn’t fun. You...

    I can’t remember reading anywhere that showed the Dalton date code pattern. Maybe some calls or emails sent off could get results?
