    6.5L HX35 Downpipe adapter for Stock 6.5 manifold setup

    Downpipe adapter that bolts to the stock downpipe and turbine size of a HX35 on the stock manifold. Bought new from Quadstar 2 years ago, barely 10 miles on it. No longer using stock manifolds so no use for it. $100 plus the ride. Includes mounting hardware

    If his engine is a '93 there's no vacuum pump or wastegate solenoid, just a spring actuated mechanical wastegate

    GMTD scan tech

    @Goose57 sorry for the late reply, been out of town and offline I haven't had any time to run the truck with the front mount intercooler (long story involving a bad IP that I won't get into here) but given that my power goals require having an intercooler I have no doubt I'll be happy with the...

    GMTD scan tech

    I bought the software through Leroy a while back, check and see if you can get it through him. Engh motors sends a passcode that may be marked as spam so keep an eye out for it if you buy through Leroy. I can dig through my email and see if I can find the old code, you can try using it as I have...

    Can't get key in ignition, wheel locked, '93 K3500

    some positive news- the key I was using was a copy, I'd lost the original. But discovered the wrong blank was used. Just had another copy made with the correct blank and the key goes in! But everything is still locked up. I did get a new tumbler and key & lock cylinder set but was really...

    Can't get key in ignition, wheel locked, '93 K3500

    No luck getting anything to cooperate. I'm a bit confused as I posted the same question over on the 'Page and someone replied that the lock position is the only position where you're able to get the key out. I think I remember this being the case. I had to push down on the lock release lever...

    Can't get key in ignition, wheel locked, '93 K3500

    Thanks for the replies So you're saying try to turn just the ignition lock tab to the unlock position while trying to break the wheel free? On most old GM vehicles I've owned the key/ ignition gets to worn that you can pull the key out with it running. Must be how this got stuck in the lock...

    Can't get key in ignition, wheel locked, '93 K3500

    I feel extra stupid not being able to accomplish the most simple of tasks, but in an effort to avoid insanity by repeated effort with no result, I'm asking for help here. Truck is a 1993 K3500 Cheyenne 1 ton dump. Been picking away at it for the past 3 years, finally almost ready to get the...

    Front return line connecting to FFM

    I think the LP fittings are the stupid saginaw type that also have an o-ring, just like the power steering lines that connect to the steering gear. If one wants to just use fuel hose you can use this fitting coming out of the LP and then just run fuel hose to the FFM...

    NV4500 differences

    The only difference I'm aware of would be the years as the 92-95 GM NV4500 had a unique bellhousing to trans bolt pattern whereas 96+ used the same bolt pattern as the dodge NV4500. The Tremec 4050 and the new NV5000 are still in production units that also use only the Dodge trans to bellhousing...

    Stuck with my 6.5

    You can use a known good timing chain set to align the crank and cam and IP, and then use that to compare the gears. The gears are definitely better so don't give up on them just yet. Best way to install gears though is to have the head off so you can degree the cam and make sure the #1 piston...

    Stuck with my 6.5

    Where is the DB2 from? Unless from a reputable builder it's suspect. Injectors tested for proper spray and pop pressure before installed? Where is the gear drive from? Been documented that a recent batch of timing gears from Leroy had timing marks off that led to poor running as you're...

    '95 Engine build

    I would not recommend using Sch. 40 pvc for intake plumbing. At least when I tried to use it it got too hot and deformed and uncoupled from everything. Too much underhood air. Only time I ever had to pull over from the ECT being too high and it was because the turbo was pulling in unfiltered...

    '95 Engine build

    I cut the silicone elbows shorter on the ends that connect to the air filter and the end that connects to the turbo to give me just enough room to fit against the side post battery. Granted where the clamps join the two elbows together was touching the positive terminal so I had wrapped some...

    S&B Airbox with HX40

    @SnowDrift The plan was for the CDR to be replaced with a provent. There's a fitting one can buy here that I was going to adapt to the intake elbow pre turbo. But now with the engine back in Chris' shop as you know I'll be using the 6.2 oil fill with vent/ baffle to vent the crankcase and both...

    1996 K2500 “Krovvy”

    Looking great as always Nate! Are those NAPA/ Mevotech TTX tie rods? I bought some brand new and the alignment for the cotter pin and castle nut was way off. Wondering if you have the same issue https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/napa-ttx-castle-nuts-appear-too-short.51529/#post-669385
