Yup! That's it. Works SO much better now!:rolleyes5: Thanks!

Got a plug on the passenger side fender located next to the AC system, behind air filter box. When bumped, the A/C goes hot. Nothing plugged into it. Any ideas??

After nearly pulling all my hair out and almost spending a pant load of money on a tranny job, I more or less stumbled on a fair cheaper solution: THE ALTERNATOR!!!! Believe it or not, a new alternator has fixed far more than just a low voltage indication on the dash. The tranny is shifting...

Thanks, Kevin. The wire ended up being a glowplug wire after all. And the tranny's still working as designed. For now... Fingers crossed!!

I think the hanging green is a glow plug. Haven't been able to trace it to a specific plug; can't reach them under the turbo and exhaust manifold. The VSSB ground at the intake is intact, as are two others grounded to the mount studs. Funny thing is, once I got the starter mounted back on...

Hello again, everyone. Haven't been around for a bit. Been enjoying having mom's Burb not acting up. Until this week. Sitting in the drive next to her one cold and rainy morn as she tried to start up and watched a starter bolt break off and fall out. Nice. Got it drilled out and replaced...

Can I make this mod without removing the intake again? Sounds like a very good thing to change next.

10-4, Buddy. Very good advice. Will do. Soon as the Saint's get finished whoopin' up on the Cards! And basking in the afterglow; mama keeps giving me hugs saying Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Guys, you're all my heroes! Maxine is rockin' better than I could have ever hoped! It's amazing how much git-up-n-go the old gal has in her now that she's getting more fuel and less air! MUCH gratitude to all for the advice. I'm by no means an expert on 6.5's now but am a lot more confident...

Yup. 3 prong coming up in the jumble of small looms by the IP. All 3 ends are busted to heck and I'm not finding the female partner for it. Gonna have to get into the Chilton's manual and find the complete diagram for all of this. Of course, it's never to scale and there are never purty...

Looked up that TM from Heath (http://www.heathdiesel.com/T/Chevy-GM/Chevy-9495/Turbocharger-Boost-Controllers/) Is this the right one? I'd happily get rid of the Vac Pump if I can. BTW, cleaning up the heads last night, I found what appears to be a 3" long 3/4" wide line clip with "HASCO"...

No way for me to know if any programming was changed. I'm inclined to believe it was at some point due to the custom straight pipes the exhaust now sports past the exhaust manifolds NOPE. Just the one with lines over to the Turbo and Vac pump. Looking at the solenoid with the ports facing...

Broke down tonite and got the proper Chilton's manual and found that the previous owner removed the EGR valve and MAP sensor plus their solenoids. This would of course explain at least two of the open bolt holes in the top of the upper intake. Got plenty of extra air flow there, eh? Question...

Hey yourself, brother! Got a few degrees of warmth you could send north?!?
