    Rear Axle Compatibility

    Might have to change backing plates and emergency brake cables for the emergency brakes. The park brake cables could be different in lengths and styles.

    I got my first truck back…

    I tried one of those after market variable valve elimination kits that many sites sells. Dont waste Your time nor money, they dont fit. They are smaller fittings than what Our systems require. I think they are made for gassers with vacuum boost and not for the hydro boost systems what must have...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Probably have to install a battery pack and an invertor so the block heater could function in tue dark. For me it was always that morning start before the commute to work during the chill of the eastern Montana winters that the block heater was required.

    2003 Tahoe w/ 4.8 V8

    On the 1993 gmc I had, in the fuse panel, it showed two fuses, one was ECM 1 and the other ECM 2. IIRC the 2 was for the in tank fuel pump, being it was a 5.7, 350 gas engine. Upon finding which fuse powers the ECM and pulling that fues it should cut the draw some and if it does cut it some then...

    1994 K3500 extended cab dually

    I do believe that there is some sort of a signal from the alternator on a single alternator system that triggers the tachometer into thinking its reading actual engine RPMs. The pulleys from the 6.5 alternator has to be exchanged with a store bought alternator or else the tach will read faster...

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

    I’ll try to remember to watch the tach when I start my truck in the morning. I do know that it shows the cranking speed of the engine when the ALDL connector is installed and active to the AUTEL app on my phone.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I run 5-W40 year round. 15-W40 had been run for many years. It was the oil that was available. Many diesel engines run 250,000 plus miles on that old dino oil. After the 5-W40 came out I made a call to Shell about the spread between the numbers being over 25. I was told by One of their...

    Gooseneck hitch disconnect while heavy loading?

    I had a heavy duty 22 foot bumper pull trailer, tandem axle, IDR what the weight specs was but 14,000# sticks in my head. That trailer had two removable crank down trailer jacks at the back end. One time I was unloading an international Harvester model M tractor, driving it down the ramps, next...

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

    Yeah, my sone kept all of the smog stuff offa his Dodge. He leaves it setting on the concrete slab in front of his garage bay doors. No one home all day, no security system, anyone could drive off with that. I know nothing about that smog equipment or how valuable those catalytic convertors are...

    Remote fuel filter

    Oh yeah, and another thing added to My fuel system, the feed the beast new FFM housing. Now the fuel hoses to and from the FFM is all 3/8ths”.

    Remote fuel filter

    Fairly common for those hoses to rupture and leak too. Leroy Diesel does sell O-Ring/seal kits for the FFM. He also sells the feed the beast kits that can be installed onto Your FFM. I built a bracket for the FFM on My truck. Brought the hose nipples above the intake manifold and turned it 90*...

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

    Oh yeah, My other son here did the delete You are referring to on His 2019’Dodge 3500 Cummins.

Now at the flick...

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

    My son has a 2017 GM Duramax diesel. His piss water started showing signs of failure. He did the delete and now he dont have to keep buying that stuff. IDK what it may have done for performance but seemed in his talk that he was happy with the results.
