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

    I installed a CKO ProVent catch can on the ‘94 K2500 today. Took my time, scratch up the back of my hands, but it is in. I had put a post asking which direction to install the check valve. I got it wrong, so I have some blowby coming out the valve cover grommet and more out the dipstick. It...

    Surplus Yanmar 6LP

    Yanmar makes good diesel engines. Friend has over 8,200 hours on a pair of 230 hp Yanmar marine diesels. My tractor is a Yanmar.

    Surplus Yanmar 6LP

    Oil pressure great, but not liking the white exhaust smoke and roughness on acceleration. Should be showing blowby test along with compression figures for each cylinder.

    This is how our GMT-400 dashes should have been constructed: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1311783543484635?fs=e&mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e

    6.5 carnage

    I checked and 5,000 RBIES exchanges to $24.57. It might be worth that shot.

    6.5 carnage

    How long do you think that pos lasts? They can never get a weld bond completely through the break. It reminds me of the building scenes from the old A-Team TV show.

    Installation of the Dash Skin is completed on the ‘99. I tried to fit the suggest 3D printed carbon fiber fiber strengtheners over the Dash Skin, but they never allowed the attaching screws to bite, so they were not usable. That was $40 plus $24 for the can of great paint wasted. The Dash Skin...

    New Optimizer Long Block

    I’ve never financed a car. Always paid cash. Unless the gov subsidizes by allowing interest deduction ala real estate, I don’t finance. Only new car purchases of late have been the 2014 and 2023 4Runners for my wife. Whe I was looking into the 4Runners, a 5 year old one sells for 75% of MSRP...

    CDR line oil leak at Turbo boot

    Alright, with all the rain that we had the yard is too muddy to do tractor work, so I’m focusing on smaller projects on the trucks. Went out to go through the turbo hose and boot connections on the ‘94. First off the clamp on the hose was not very tight, so I must have forgot to finish that on...

    Where can I order the silicone hoses for the turbo to intake?

    The 6.5s have their issues, but why would you infect them with anything from Volkswagen?

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

    So while the headline was being installed, I noticed a diesel leak from the ‘94. It was dripping off the crossover pipe. I noted that I did not have this puddle in my driveway where the vehicle is pointed slightly downhill (in the pic it was uphill). Based on this, I suspect a leak somewhere in...

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

    Of course I did neither, but I have the forged LCAs and the trucks mostly live in California. The stamped steel LCAa were a bear to get off the ‘94.

    I would just wire brush or flap disc the torsion bar, then go Marty on it with the anti seize.
