To be clear on my last post: the r-7 stuff WILL FAIL in time. Thats why I never tried it. Use the gm ones as they are super cheap & easy to swap on the injectors, then when you are done swapping around injectors and settle on a set, the original Mercedes Benz injector hose that is 1/8” is r9...

Without the signature line filled out, I can’t recall what you have or haven’t done for lift pump, fuel pressure gauge, clear line. Besides this site there are more that myself and others go to and try helping various people. You should have a 6.2 with mechanical lift pump factory that feeds a...

@MrMarty51 I would tend to think your 4.10 gears are having impact on the hiway mpg. Did you get a lot better mpg before part of this build?

AND… some of us who really want cold air blowing on us on one of the 250 hot days of the year here, learned the already mediocre a/c system somehow gets worse with the cup in the way of the vent. Idk if I can actually drive a gmt400 without a super big gulp on the seat between my legs…

100% exactly what Doug said. That isn’t a theory of maybe- that is a CONSTANT repeating story. A pump or steering box should be no big deal- but they are for some reason.

Meh, I say run it and have Jerry Reed playing loud as you go! 😂 I had a few single wheel 1 ton trucks, from 77-99 model years. The duals really help hold the trailer straight in crosswinds and slick roads. There are hitch devices now to fight those problems. The power the trucks have now...

Before buying any headlights- go to a YouTube channel called “Headlight Revolution”. They do actual comparison testing on all different headlights. There are MANY types sold that although have better advertised numbers do horrible. Some that are even worse than just stock headlights! Adding...

Excellent job doing it now instead of waiting. That saved a LOT of annoying labor.

They are hard to find. there are two versions of it but idk which is which, iirc they are numbered differently. Note the 4 bolts for the thermostat housing. One style has a bypass (block off) thermostat and the other does not. For obvious reasons the block off is the one everyone preferred...

You don’t need to run a tank empty to get the mileage. You could constantly refill say at 1/2 tank. Just record fuel added each time. It measures to 3 decimal points. So it would be more accurate than the odometer really.

It’s all in the drag. I had a buddy that lived here with a 1992 k2500 6.5. He replaced his bad turbo with a gm6. He has db2 ip. My 95 has gm6 and db2. He runs 38X9 tires that measure at 36.75, my 37x12.50 tires are really 36.5 new and were worn down to 36.25” tall. So we swapped tires...

2wd with hiway tires and most important on old original diesel fuel. Modern fuel is a massive drop in mpg and lubrication. Trucks that get 25 on real diesel tend to get 20 on the new stuff.

Imo follow the diagnostics set forth by the ip manufacturer & GM. Start with the clear tube and get a pressure gauge taped at the ip inlet after the rubber hose. Most problems are found from these two items if done right. Tons of good ip, ecm, etc. have been replaced because of not following...

That theory is fine so long as he pays for your new engine. He doesn’t have 21.5:1 compression in his 454

NO NO NO !!!! It is there but is not attached to the starter!!! Fix this now!!!! Look atvtje circled part - that stud should go through the hole in the brace and have a lock washer and nut or nylock nut.
