How sweet. Any Pics? Would love to see that. I would drop a D Max in my truck, but already got to much tied into this motor and I stock parts for it.

You can pull the metal coolant line off all at one time and split the crimp collar off and replace just the hose and use new clamps for the rubber. I have done it and it does work. I cover the hoses with the old rubber as a chaff guard with zip ties. Also, with that push lock fitting, PB blaster...

He says he took 2 weeks off and back to work. I really don't know though. I know he's pretty tough.

I see the subject title is Code 13 and that should be a engine shutoff solenoid circuit fault. I know the solenoid is on the pump and you should be able to get to it with the upper plenum off. My memory is a little off as I have not changed one in a long time. Just because the Solenoid went...

My Dad just got both his knees taken care of at the same time last year I think. As I recall the doctor told him he needed both done and when did he want to schedule the two procedures. My dad said how about now? The Doctor looked at my dad like he was crazy. Doc says, most people do one then...

Thanks for the reply, I guess since I do that kind of stuff often it does not occur to me the time it takes.

My next Dmax I'll post pics on the process. The 6.0 Power stroke had the same problem. I'd help a guy out when everyone else wanted to sell him a turbo and what not.

long story short a better turbo would do great for that motor. IMO a T3/T40B Turbo is just what the doctor ordered. This is the about the same as the turbo on the Dmax now and is a bolt on. No need to modify and is rated at 400hp at 10 psi and you only need 8 psi of it. It comes with the option...

sorry bro, still learning to navigate here. I just posted in the build.

matter of fact it only cuts out or derates the motor if boost pressure is over 10psi for more than 15 seconds 3 times consecutively. I have it timed.LMAO

I love my POS 94 Chevy Silverado. It has a 6.5L Turbo Diesel with a DS4 pump. Stock manifolds with a high flow crossover. I lopped off the T3 flange and welded a T4 flange on to the stock manifold. I have a Turbonetics 60 Series turbo. I chose the turbo because I am a big fan of the Detroit...

Uhhhh,heh,heh. I am merely asking here. If he converted to a DB2 pump why not get a good used TCM from a 93 with a 6.5. The 6.5 was mechanical that year and only had a TCM. Wouldn't that help?

sometimes the VGT side of the turbo gets gummed up with soot and the vanes get sticky. Depending on your skills you can pull the turbo off and clean it up. A small wire brush and put it all back together. No lubricant is used on the parts. If you lube parts the soot will stick to it and your...

I locked my wastgate shut and went towing with my truck. I left it that way for 3 years and the engine still runs. Not saying I recommend it but, it won't hurt it.LOL Alright, all BS aside you can take a test light and check for a pulse signal at the vacuum control solenoid. If you have a pulse...

I have a 94 silverado with factory origional pistons and a modified stock turbo manifold. My truck has a Series 60 Turbonetics turbo and it rules. It does in fact need time to build boost out of the hole, but on the highway she scoots just fine. My turbo is a T4 turbo and imo works great for...
