    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I'm not near so kind. Just load test the damn batteries and I will buy them or not. I've only had 2 people balk at load testing before buying. And that was quite a while ago. I think anymore counter people are used to crap parts. They hear about them all day long. Every day

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    If you bend up buying new batteries, have them load tested before buying. New doesn't equal good. I've rejected a lot of batteries. At Rural King, they ended up returning a whole pallet of bad, new batteries. That was one time I forgot to load test before buying. I drove 45 miles home...

    I've heard of blowing them out with compression some times working. If it's loose and just not pulling out. Spray some good lube on it, put a rag or 2 over it and turn.the engine over. I don't know the downside of this method. I'd let others chime in before attempting this.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Good / bad story and a nice pup. Sorry for the original owner to lose a nice dog. Too bad He didn't lose the neighbor instead. A while back there was a 90 year old that was trying to give a young lab away, if my situation wasn't as it is, we would have take the dog and brought it back for...

    "Crawl, Crawl, Stagger, Stagger" Truck is limping

    Are there mechanical gauges that wouldn't require the fuel go the whole distance? Maybe a filled line of some type that would transfer the pressure like thermocouple

    Timekeeper explosion in P400

    I thought I remembered removing the cover when I changed the water pump in the 1996 over a decade ago. It seems like there was 2 through bolts or it was leaking or something
