    I will try to figure out the video thing. Not to bright with computer stuff. As far as intake goes,visual looks OK. Reckon I'll need to pull it or can I just soak it with W/D or somethin'? EGR valve is kinda cheap and easy,so I will go ahead and replace it,probably original anyway. And clean out...

    Update: My cousin came over and we went through everythin' front to back...we are past the epr valve. Everythin' to this point seems to be workin',which leaves us at the mufflers. Driver's side is still fine(that's the side with the epr valve). Passenger side has abit more exhaust than it...

Until two mornin' s ago. Ya got me thinkin'bout the muffler thing,I don't know how old they are, they look OK on...

    Talked to an 'ol boy,he said it sounded like the injector pump might be goin' out. (Just a shot in the dark) I dumped in some injector cleaner,let it run a spell. I did get "some" exhaust " not much",enough to at least "warm up" exhaust pipe,it did not get "hot" like the driver's side. Gonna put...

    My first deisel. In need of '83 6.2 l knowlege.

    Passenger side ain't blowin' exhaust. Still didn't blow at runnin' temperature. Would like to just delete emissions, but don't know how. Been told it's easy.

    My first deisel. In need of '83 6.2 l knowlege.

    Gonna check it out in the mornin'. Reckon I can just pull vacuum to check it? Been ponderin' deletein' California emissions but not sure how to. Would like to leave it in place for the future (if I ever need it again). Suggestions? Thnx, any help is appreciated.
