That Makes Sense. I Have Yet To See A Diamond Block In A Truck. 506 I Ha E Run Into ARe A Ticking Time Bomb Unless Have A Ton Of Miles.

4l80e will need to be "hardened". I know quite a few guys who run those in monster drag cars. has to be cheaper than a suncoast on a cummins though. Im calling merlin tomorrow and getting my name on that list.

I will take door number one. What steps do I need to take. I mainly deal in used parts.

how do you determine the gep? this is news to me.

that's what it is. need a computer. the ecm doesn't like all the boost. you may want to head stud it if going over 14 psi. but I would worry about the troublesome light.

My name is Mike Carter. Owner. Been exclusively playing with these old monsters for years on my own builds and projects. Sold a lot of parts on ebay and locally. Now expanding to service here in the near future and some wild twin screw high horsepower builds. Daily driver is a 6.2 ( red...

fenton truck and diesel -- fenton, mi new to this list but not these monsters. Have all the parts and knowledge to do anything 6.2 / 6.5 related. performace, swaps and the hard to find !!

tons of black smoke means you are getting fuel? is the engine turning over fast enough? I have had issues before where a new starter fixed everything. how old is the starter and batteries? have you tried jumping the glow plug terminals for a longer light? if you are getting fuel but not...

check for broken wire. the gray? wire supplys power sometimes connection goes bad. Do you notice performance drop or drivability issues?

second fuel skip ... check for wet fuel lines from pump on back. even check on top of tank. OPS or Crank sensor..... always always pull codes.. even if there is no SES light.

I chased something very similarly on a few trucks last month..... the pigtail harness under the intake manifold that runs from injection pump to main firewall harness went bad. Chased for days wiring diagrams. It was throwing very random codes and was as simple as plugging in a new harness. I...

there is a at least 3 different styles of t- stats for the 6.5 and 3 more for the 6.2. 6.5 has a the single tstat 92-95.5 6.5 single ( quick glance may resemble a double ) 95.5-97? can be rare.. 6.5 double thermostat housing (97-2001) 6.2 84 - 90? goes with old school belt system 6.2 ( p -...

surging is usually PMD. pull codes also, just because there is no light doesn't mean there isn't a code registered ....
