Depending on my time frame I might be able to get you parts at a much reduced rate and have you add them one by one and dyno each part as they are added. By the end of summer you could have all the major performance parts on and a step by step dyno chart to tell what each product did for the...

I am joining the Navy and have been selling all the performance parts on my truck. Since I already had a heavy duty fan and clutch I figured I didn't need the electric ones anymore. I had them built as a potential product to sell and for use on my truck when I went for the HP record. Now they...

Here is a little sample of all the gauges going into this truck build. There are going to be 13 gauges total plus the Snow LCD display. I would say if this truck ever has a problem the driver will know about it.

Well if someone has at least a 94+ 6.5 I might be able to pull some strings next summer and get this test done.

Trust me, you can hear these fans when they kick on!

Or just crappy chevy gauges. Mine has had the tach stick many times and I can use my oil pressure gauge as a fan. Sometimes you just need to replace the entire gauge cluster, if it is not a bad ground of course. If it was just the tach I would think alternator but since it is both I think it...

I had a custom setup made a few years back that pushes around 5500 cfm and works great under all driving conditions unless you have a large load pulling a grade on a hot day. That was the only time I ever saw it hit 210*. I am selling the entire setup for $200 if anyone is interested. It only...

This is something I have wanted to do for a long time but when I first got my truck I had everything we made on it within the first week. So stock was out of the question. I do invite anyone with a bone stock good running 6.5 to step forward so we can talk about this potential article.

Nope, now would be the perfect time to subscribe to both magazines. I believe the MaxxTorque article will come out around January 2010 and the Diesel World should be on stands for the April issue which is for sale usually around March. This will not be the last 6.5 article in either magazine. I...

I mentioned all of what I am about to say in the PCM Shootout thread but wanted to say it again here. We will only be testing a few PCM's and blending the two articles into one. I promise you will not be disapointed in how it turns out and it will be available this winter and early spring in...

So here is how this whole thing is going to go. I will only be running a few different programs do to reasons I cannot mention on the forum, but trust me there is good reason for this. So in lite of these current events I have decided to blend the two articles I am doing into one. We will still...

I have done a few Hummer projects in the past one for Diesel Power Magazine and found that the H1 and Van turbos are slightly less effecient than even a GM-4 turbo. Improving pressure to the IP is not a bad way to go if you are turning up the volume of the pump. We are putting a AirDog pump on...

I had never heard of anyone else breaking 300rwhp. I would love to have done an article on his truck. Even with a fully tuned marine pump it would still be a chore to get 250rwhp. The mechanical pumps have problems getting the timing perfect for that amount of fuel, but hey if someone does it...

4911 is just the pump model number. You can have it tuned up to put out more fuel but even with it turned up all the way and a Turbo-Master you will still have trouble hitting even 250rwhp without an alternate fuel source such as water/meth or propane. Aftercooler/intercooler is all the same but...

Trust me when I say I don't mind any suggestions. That is why I created this thread. I truly enjoy bringing new articles about the 6.5 to everyone who is interested. It is not an easy task trying to get a truck done as well as pitching articles to different magazines and having to write the...

So between this project and the possible PCM shootout I got my hands full. I am still waiting for the weather to give me a chance to get the truck done. I was able to get a little more done before it started raining on me. I really hope to have the truck up and running again by this weekend. I...

We are only testing the PCM shootout with a GM-8. The reason being is that some of the vendors don't know what there program will do with an ATT and specified a factory turbo. Another reason is we only have the Dyno for a short period of time and I just don't know if we will have enough time to...

If the vendors commit to this I will be giving you a call to use that PCM. I am glad to here you all are interested in this. The more support you all post on this thread the better the chances, so if you have an opinion please say so here!

If I can get a stock tune I would run that for a baseline.

So here is my thought, I have been working on the project 350hp truck for a while now and realized how good of a test truck this would be for a PCM test. No one to my knowledge has run a Heath, Kennedy, SS, ext. PCM dyno/hill climb test. So I have started talking to some of the manufacturers of...
