    Towing maiden voyage. Yikes!

    Agree with everyone else..... clean out the stack and stuff thats between them. I had dirt, pine needles, bugs, etc in between my stack but it looked clean from the engine side and from the grille side. After cleaning out my stack, and with the cooling mods in my sig, I have no problems at...

    fuel

    I've added a seperate electric pump back by the tank and a seperate spin on fuel filter as well. I did leave the old FFM in place too because of the water in fuel sensor and the fuel heater. Quite a few guys have done the same thing in one way or another.

    Can the 6.5 pull 12,000lbs?

    Some HMMWV's are turbo, some are NA. The up aromored 12K ones that Paul mentioned are turbocharged.

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    That really stinks that it was the wrong part. On the plus side, you do have the right one on the way from Leroy. Hopefully it gets to you tomorrow and you won't have anymore problems. TTS is a great resource and the best group of guys I have run across on the internet.

    Hopefully that takes care of your problem and you don't have any other issues, of any sort, during the rest of your travels. Listening to the radio last night and Johnny Cash came on singing "I've been everywhere". Guess who I thought of? :D

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    Your truck has a serpentine belt right? Are you a little low on antifreeze maybe? I figured maybe it boiled some out when it was running hot. If you added water to it after you got to your parents, maybe you have an air bubble in the system? Just throwing some ideas out there. I have the same...

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    Is it possible that you put the fan blade onto the new clutch the wrong way? In other words with the curves of the blades pointing in the opposite direction? That would be trying to push air toward the radiator rather than pull it through? Thermostat - You should be fine with the 195. But you...

    So did you get the new fan clutch put on?

    cylinder balance Fault

    Since you've documented the fault numbers that were stored already.... I would clear all codes, and see what comes back. If it's the same exact codes (cylinders) again that points to something specific to those cylinders (like an injector). If balance codes come back, but for different...

    How Many Miles on Your 6.5?

    254,000 on mine when it blew a head gasket, but it didn't hurt anything else inside the engine. The blown head gasket was my fault due to a hot chip, higher than factory boost pressures, original gaskets and factory head bolts. Before that happened it ran great and had a little blow by. I...

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    Fancy gap, and on north up I-77 is very pretty in the fall and has great views of the valleys around it. When I was stationed in SE GA we would go right through there to visit family in OH. There are two tunnels, as you get close to WV, that go through the moutain. My girls always looked forward...

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

    I like hayden, but can't comment either way on Imperial..... haven't had any experience with them. Rock auto will ship "overnight" but it's going to be expensive and you probably won't get it till tuesday or wednesday now anyway. The order would go through Monday, ship tuesday, then you get it...
