Well, after all, I do pay taxes on the whole road.

So do I, when it runs...

I would bet it is not down for too long at a time.

Only pretty much the last three years. Lost the oil. Engine back in, lost the trans. Try to find a NP 205 cast iron t case for a 4l80...
Turbo leaking, new one, pump bad from fuel going bad from sitting, new fuel filtration and pump from fuel going bad. Drop and clean tanks, and so on.
Now if it's good, it's a 6.5 with a hx35/40 hybrid turbo, Water meth injected, overdriven, 1 ton towing monster.

One issue I'm having is the suction gauge is getting pulled down to indicate a filter change needed everytime I step into it.

 

[MrMarty51]

To My experiences with them suction gauges, it takes a lot to pull them down, into the red.
I wonder what is going on with that, it appears You made a pretty nice system for a free flow of air.

If your pulling the intake side into that far of vaccum with a clean filter, the filter is too small or the tubing going from filter to intake is too small. By the diameter I saw, it point to the filter.

Do a 0-60 run with and without the filter in place and see if there is a noticeable difference.

Tried without and huge cloud of light grey smoke going uphill into the boost, became a lesser cloud of light grey smoke.

 

[Will L.]

Less smoke= more air allowing fuel to burn. So if there is a noticeable amount less, that means the filter or the plumbing is still holding back.

Of course, no telling how much worse it was before you made that change.

Gotta be the filter or the water sock on it. It almost maxed the filter gauge again with the filter hooked up.
