How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

I think I figured it out
It was infront of my face the entire ****ing time.

See that wire? Remember it was plugged on that metal tab

Im going off that image as I have nothing else to go off of, now look at what's supposed to be connected to where that light yellow cable was plugged in at

The damn cold advance solenoid wire wasnt ever plugged in at all.

Ive since then plugged in the cold advance solenoid to where its supposed to be in at, so we will see tomorrow if it starts up better

But now, where on earth do I plug that yellow cable at? And, what even is it??

I really hope this is it, holy cow, if this is it.

Started up the 6.2 with the cold advance solenoid plugged in, I havent heard or felt a difference yet, however, it was run an hour ago and its 80°F here.


I will start it up with the correct plug in tomorrow, ill even take it off.mid run and see if the idle changes (apparently thats one way to check if the solenoid went bad)

I wonder, dont have a wiring diagram, if that yellow wire would be for a kickdown switch to the transmission.
Does the transmission kick down like passing gear ?
