1995 Work in Progress

[tanman_2006]

Well done, and let us know if you notice any difference in spooling, performance or efficiency.

I don't know what my turbo sounded like before the K47 but now that it works it sounds amazing! You won't be able to stop making her sing. Its addicting.

Just wait tell you get a exhaust system. Though it sucks cause I never can keep my foot out of it now.

Hey stranger! Glad you sent me a link to this thread, I don't get on here enough to find it on my own. Oh, and guys, I've seen this truck in person and it's NICE!

That stinks about the bed side too, but if it's still like that when you come up to get the intakes put on I'll work my magis on it if you want me too and maybe it will save you a little cash.

I completely agree with your last post to, when I changed to my version of a CAI and added the 4" mandrel exhaust the turbo sure would talk to me, lol. Really helps with the mileage when your foots always in it...

Just let me know when will be good for you as far as the intakes go or if you want you can just leave it with me (it will be cool that way) and I will take care of it. Any time other than Saturday though, it's my little man's birthday. LMK

Yeah she sings like crazy and i get more looks now (gotta love the look does that have a turbo?) Havent noticed a hole lot of difference with the new intake though i still am on my first tank of diesel. Hopefully i will be taking a trip soon and will be able to see a mpg change.
How does Wednesday sound? Id like to at least watch (if possible) On the install and love to help haha. As for the fender i would kill if you would do some of your magic. As soon as its fixed it it will be bedlined. Just let me know give me a call or message me.

 

[DieselS10]

Wednesday should be fine, let me know if something comes up otherwise be there around 9 to 9:30.

Is there anything special i need to look for on replacing the pcv valve? Rock auto has one for 37.79 and says its for 1995 6.5. Will that one work?

 

[buddy]

You can clean yours and test it. Bison has posted a good suck and blow method in the past.

Otherwise the CDR on rockauto should be fine.

 

[tanman_2006]

I have a spare one you can have when you come up to help.

You might want to check out this place for tires. I have a set and I have several friends that run them. Very high quality. http://www.treadwright.com/

Well After a lot of help (he did most of it) from DieselS10 we got the upper and lower intake on the truck, fixed the rear fender, and fixed my spare tire! Oh and had some fun with quads and such. Anyways back to the intakes Only prob we had is a radiatior line (aluminum) cracked and was leaking easy fix though. Other than that no big problems. Here are some pics if anyone wants more or info just let me know.
The start

Looks great dont it?

The valley which was a lot cleaner than expected.

And the final product

And before you ask the reason for the tubing and clamps is because the intake was shortened because it was in a s10. Still works great
And the fender fixed and ready for Speedliner

And just for the heck of it here is DieselS10 truck with the 6.6 duramax in it (BEAST)

 

[Caskey]

Well had a tree trimming job for one of my customers and got to haul some stuff. nothing to big but still fun.

 

[RD400HP]

I just took the intake off my 95 to change some fuel lines and do the FTB mod and there had to be a 1/1/2'' of dirt in the valley. This truck must have spent alot of time on dirt road's in Virginia, it was a state or county before I owned it.

Well just got back from a 500 mile round trip to kansas averaged 19mpgs cruising at 70 with a 20mph head wind. Not to shabby if i do say so my myself.

 

[btfarm]

Glad to hear the success story!:thumbsup:

 

[tanman_2006]

Sounds good, glad you finally broke ~17!

 

[Crankme69]

Yup looks much better then that EGR valved intake also, letting em breath will surely help the MPG if you can maintain control of yr right foot afterwords...:burnout:

Good MPG!!

What gear ratio do you have? I have the HD 3/4 ton with 4.10 and the extra drag of 4WD and have yet to get over the low 15's with local driving. I haven't done any long distance with it yet though.
