One lifter was missing its top along with the broken pushtube, cam is fine. Should be running soon! Hope this can help someone some day.

One pushrod is much lower than the others so the head will be coming off.

Bent push rod, broken nylon button. Parts tuesday and back on the road hopefully?

Nice whistle, is this straight through with no muffler? If it is, I'll delete the muffler on my ride. I am also running the hx40wii. Sounds sweet!

Dropped the truck yesterday at the local heavy eqpt big truck mechanic, he lives three houses down from me. I'm at the beach/vacation, waiting to hear what he finds?

Cracked injectors on the turbo side and they seem ok. I listened with a stethoscope and valve cover is the source/clank noise. Going to look for a broken button as that makes sense from the raw fuel smoke and noise. Many clacky noises on these engines but this noise is not healthy. If not...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLd7ZCzQNQThe truck is 14 years old so I ordered a new harmonic balancer/crank pulley last week. Then my lb7 Alternator took a dive, new alternator/batteries today for my 2002 lb7. Tuesday morning I fueled up the 6.5 and dumped 3 tons of stone. On the way back...

Does anybody else shift the nv4500 like an eaton? Boost stays up higher with no clutch.

24" x 18"? I'll measure it cause thats a guess don't recall . The compressor whistle I like loud but, combined with a muffler delete could be over the top too loud, unless the exhaust side of the HX40wii is quieter than the gm8?

3 inch ebay special 2006, hanging under the bumper. I'll upload pics soon but I am having difficulty with the file size, feeling a little stupid. I will figure it out, I'm no athlete on a computer.

Pretty loud but I love it! Removed the ring before install so I have no comparison. Stock programming, can't wait to get a tuned ECM! Pushing through ATA intercooler it will spike to 15psi.

I'm using a 4" rubber cobra head elbow off the turbo (battery in stock location) to a 4" aluminized wrapped (short radius 90) metal tube and an AEM dry filter. I also plastic welded a homemade cylindrical sealed airbox wrapped in heat reflective tape, made with black plastic from the dump...

Can anybody tell me if HX40wii sounds good through the exhaust straight piped? The GM8 whistle was great but the freight train drone/exhaust sound lasted a day before the muffler went back on. I have a 4" wrapped metal intake tube and the CKO is ear splitting! I don't want to draw to much attention.

B99 put me in the pass range from 32% before bio, seems to work!
