New Ride

I finally got around to installing my extra fuel filter and HO lift pump a few days ago. No issues, no leaks, and the truck runs a lot better at full throttle and seems more confident, or "lighter", at cruising speeds.

The pump is a diesel compatable "holley blue" style pump. It's suppose to put out about 10psi and 75 GPH.

I have that same pump, but for use in a different app. I don't think it is flow on fail. Might not be a big concern, but if it fails the engine will cut off.

You can blow through it with the pump shut off, I checked it just for the reason you stated lol.

Just got back from the trip. 1,240 miles round trip from Savannah, GA to Louisville, KY and back pulling a 22' car trailer loaded with a 2002 Chrysler mini van.

Everything went absolutely awesome, no issues at all. Temp guage pointed at 210 twice for about 15 seconds each time during the trip, then the roar of the fan started and it dropped right back down to normal and stayed there.

The longest pull of the trip was in southern TN, on TN-111, is a 8% grade and 4 miles long. I had the cruise set on 65 at the bottom and the converter locked, max EGT on the hill was 850, post turbo, and happened near the top of the hill. It pulled the hill much better than I was expecting really, but did slow down to about 40 by the top of the hill, that was at the 850 EGT point and I have a feeling the IAT was high at that point too. Believe it or not, coolant temp stayed the width of the needle below 210 and never moved while pulling this hill, which was a very plesant surprise. The fan was engaged and roaring the whole way up, in other words doing it's job perfectly.

All in all, I am very happy with the way it ran/pulled during the trip. It maintained whatever speed I had the cruise set to, normally 70-75 mph, the entire way and really impressed me.
 
we plan on taking the 93 to Orlando, Fla. in Oct if i can get the a/c working by then. looks like 1060 miles each way. would be the longest trip to take in it yet. your Sub looks nice, i have the same interior in the 93 except i have the console but not electric mirrors.

I made that same trip back when speed limit was 55mph. Took 16 or 19 hours don't remember now. This was in my 93 and got an incredible 25.? MPG!
 
Great looking Burb you found there.

We have had several 6.5 Burbs over the years. Really miss the 94 that we had, but I got the HoTS for a K5 Blazer so I did a swap straight across, my Burb for the K5

Love the K5 though.

Have fun with the Burb
