You'll need: - a DB2 or DB4, 12 volt injection pump - 1993 or older injection lines (6.5 or 6.2 should work) - 1993 or older accelerator pedal (or, I believe, a 99 or older gasser pedal) - 1993 or older throttle cable (or, I believe, a 99 or older gasser throttle cable) - a standalone...

Do you have a manual or automatic? The only two things in common between a 6.5 and a Dmax are the fact that they are both diesels and both come as options in GM trucks.

I'm glad you found the bearing issue now as opposed to later. Did you check the other side, too?

Woot!

Bill, I think Tim makes a good point about the PMD relocation...IMO an ideal bumper would have a spot with good airflow where a PMD w/ heatsink or Heaths relocation kit could be easily mounted. Just another thought.

If I can ever get mine converted to DB2, you're welcome to mine, I'll be stripping it out with the conversion.

Golds, I'm with you. I RARELY go to the other site anymore. All of the interesting people are here now.

I'd like one of those cables, even thought about seeing if I could fab one up. But once I realized that I had the electronic actuator, I figured it was good enough. My understanding is that the electronic actuators are very reliable. I just made it a bit more reliable. It was pretty cheap...

Deere, just a brainstorming idea, but wouldn't it be money well spent to put airbags in, especially if you are towing your 5th wheel or gooseneck alot? I was under the impression that airbags can really help prevent premature failure of leaf springs and blocks. I might be wrong, though.

TD, what do you make of their 400HP claims?

After a month of my 4x4 not working, thinking the thermal actuator when kaput, I discovered that the PO already upgraded the actuator and found that one of the wires on the switch located at the front of the transfer case had broken. Rather than fix that, I opted to run a switch up into my cab...

The joke's supposed to be "Well what's the first thing?" To which I would reply "I don't remember."

Well, they do say that the memory is the 2nd thing to go.

Bill, I think your bumpers look good, personally. Recommendations for a 6.5 bumper - KEEP THE NOSTRILS! That's our calling card. I would love to see a bumper with some fog light ports toward the bottom, in addition to NOSTRILS. :D

Good news. I now have 4WD, with a switch activated diff locker. Works like a champ.
