    Engine fire wall?

    Absolutely. Did the Fuel Lines from the tank forward to the IP; Turbo Oil Feed and Transmission lines.

    Engine fire wall?

    Built my own transmission lines. 3/8” braided and 6 AN fittings. Then, the 6 AN to whatever the transmission, cooler and Radiator fittings are. I don’t trust my recollections so here's a couple of pictures. 90* fittings at the Transmission Radiator Connector

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

    Crossovers and t-stat...might as well get all four corners “while you’re in there.” Address only one and the next weakest one standing in line will let go in a week/month.

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

    Made the truck my daily driver. 2016 Touareg is GONE. Too many quirks but mainly emission issues over the past 2 years. DEF injector leaked down and filled the CAT in 2022. Last year it was the Particulate Filter that coded off and on for months; put me in limp mode and took over 100 days to...

    Where to put PMD with intercooler

    You could try a bumper mount. Only fab up additional support to avoid stress cracking the heat sink from vibrations. From a previous posting on the topic. First picture was using just one Air Dam attachment point/hold. Second Picture: I'd drilled two holes. Even with that small of a heat sink...

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

    Lift Pump relocation. I used some square post material to get the additional clearance I needed for the Air Dog (died). The material was only 1.5 inches though and you'll need enough to build out for the full 2.5" of clearance. You could double it up though... Here's my brain-fart idea. It...

    PMD Recommendations

    Welcome and yes, those are a couple of nice looking Burbs. Currently shopping for one to replace my totaled 99 so, wish me luck. The main thing is to get a set up with a large heat-sink and get the whole thing out of the engine bay. Leroy's system is widely available but, he's a site vendor...

    '95 Engine build

    One point on the powder coating of the upper and lower intake. Bolts making contact with the intake’s bare aluminum surface provides a path to ground for the Air Intake Sensor. My AIT sensor couldn’t get a path to ground until some coating was removed around the bolt holes (at least one).

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    I'm still in the DS-4 club and you'll be ok running ATF. Been there, done that both in the tank and in the FFM. Check out dbrannon97's 'weird split second engine....' thread where Will L, myself and other's discuss water decarb and ATF methods.

    Weird split second profuse engine rattle leaving me puzzled and concerned

    To help clean up the system after filling up with some really bad fuel I did a 50/50 mix of ATF and BG-44 in the FFM a few times until I'd run a couple of good fuel tanks through it. Cleared the stuttering, hiccupping, almost stalling out situation nicely by the time I got to Salt Lake...

    New Oil cooler/lines install

    IIRC, Leroy's kit should have come with the 4x4 adaptor O rings and copper crush washer. Lubrication Specialists don't list a 6.2 / 6.5 kit anymore when I checked for a cooler only as that's the set up I had. Thinking I'd re-use my lines I sourced the upper/smaller O ring at NAPA. The larger...

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

    Did a similar alignment on my truck after swapping in new ball joints, bushings, tie rods, centerlink etc. I used 4' levels centered on both wheels. Centered the steering wheel and then adjusted the tie-rods to get the back and front of the levels an equal distance from each other. Checked...

    hi idle

    Perhaps the bad fuel of an odious color smelling like varnish may have affected the Optic Sensor’s functionality. That and/or Previous Owner might have tried and failed to do an Optic Sensor bump.

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

    At the transmission, the pressurized / hot or output is the forward most line. W/o an auxiliary cooler, I’m hard pressed to say if it should run to the lower radiator port or the upper. My guess is it doesn’t make a real difference but someone more transmissiony guru will have to chime in on...
