    Dual Pyro?

    My buddy says it is recommended to run an EGT sensor on each bank for his 6.2, but cannot find a dual gauge. I’ve seen these Isspro’s but figured I’d ask here what you fellows would recommend. Thanks! Jude...

The Backstory: I have an old A/C compressor that came off my ‘03 Jetta TDI, it’s still in good shape, (I think now that I have it apart it must’ve...

    1996 Vortec, touched redline and died... now no start

Thought I would share a couple old pictures with you guys, pictures of my Dad’s 1978 Series III long wheel-base Land Rover, a few years before he sold it. Used to be a military communications truck. He sold it in the later...

    Safe to run straight distilled in cooling system?

    Just did my rad flush this weekend, waiting for a new T-stat to show up so I just filled the truck with distilled. Question is how long can I run this for before it starts to corrode things... The reason I ask is I may not be able to get the right T-stat this week as I am very busy with work and...

    Hello from Saskatchewan

    Hey everyone, Can’t believe I only found this site now, looks like a lot of fun and a lot of good info! I’ve owned my 1996 K1500 6.5 for about two years now, she’s an old farm truck that’s had a hard hard life and shows it, but she doesn’t let me down. Bought it from my brother, who owned it...
