    Walbro Lift Pump Fail

    Here is a thought for you to consider and what I have in my rig, dual lift pumps plumbed in parallel, Walbro FRB5, and stock lift pump since it was already there no extra plumbing required to leave it there. Both powered by independent 25A relays on firewall under hood to provide the hi-current...

    Hello again it's been a while

    Good to see some new names and many familiar ones, it looks like a lot of the tech info went into cyberspace with dead links, and 404 error codes, a LOT of work went into those :(

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Well I bought Lyndons tuner tool it weren't cheap, I'm just smart enuff with it to be dangerous, I was working with Bill to try to get a decent tune for mine we were almost there, but I when I was finishing up the "project engine build" for the K1500 Bill convinced me I just had to use his HT-4...

    Hello again it's been a while

    First I want to apologize for derailing your thread WECSOG I haven't been here since about 2013 and some of the "old hands" popped in asking questions. For the rest of you, I got away from all forums for a while I needed to decompress a lot of things happening in past few years, I've missed my...

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    From what I read on TDR forum could be either or both stuck or broken, at least it is stuck/broken in the cab A/C on position, yup my ole 6.5 has yet to leave me stranded been a good one I've owned since 2000 I think I might just keep it :)

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Hmnn edit time limit on original posts now, I'll have to remember that, I started delving in Dodge April 2018, as I said 2nd thoughts about it, 2006 5.9 24V good engine 199K on engine, 3500 crew cab 4x4 dually, crappy rest of the truck from my experience thus far, I had to park it for about 4...

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Well as one who recently made the Dodge transition I'm having serious 2nd thoughts about it, 2006 5.9 24V good engine 199K on engine, crappy rest of the truck from my experience thus far, Oh I still have both my 98 6.5s probably until I die, no regrets with either of them. Howdy fellow 6.5ers...

    Looking to get some grunt out of the old 6.5

    Use as much steel as you can, that way short pieces only require reploacement, also needs to be Diesel fuel rated, or Bio-D if you ever plan on running some of that, regular gasser fuel line won't work for long rubber is too soft andf gets gummy. Diesel line can get hard and crack over time so...

    Looking to get some grunt out of the old 6.5

    That is why I used copper gauge line on mine much more durable than hose/nylon, yeah in might leak someday, but "I love smell of Diesel in the morning" :) used to "swim" in Diesel fuel back in my USN days as the ships "Fuel/Oil/Water King", I can cap the fitting if need be I've been...

    ATT & FRC-10 Install

    Funny thing about the ATT installs, they will tell you if willing to listen-look-learn in earnest instead of listening to the "naysayers" that be "hatin on it" that something isn't just right, could be low oil pressure-weak injectors-leaking x-over, weak valve springs, starving for fuel with...

    First Impressions of ATT

    Ahh new alternator did it have the correct size pulley ? Did you measure old vs. new even in the AC Delco there have been some pulley sizing issues over the years, BTW tach signal is different from the voltage output and generally has no relation to the charging ability vs. rpm display on dash.

    SS Diesel Glow Plugs... Cause My '95 6.5 Sub Needs Glow Plugs

    Jay a volt meter only tells part of the story, if one burns out it will tell that reading open, also will tell if you have no or weak voltage, but what it won't tell you is if a glow is only partially heating, only way to really test a glow is to remove it and apply 12V to it, what you are...

    First Impressions of ATT

    Didn't say mean to imply otherwise, just that what Dennis is working on is better, Dennis also had Buddy tune for a while and has gone even deeper into the program that Buddy has gone and for a significantly improved price point.

    First Impressions of ATT

    Good thought Jani, PLT89 you said drop in rpm by 400 are you talking about displayed rpm on dash or the rpm signal from the speed sensor/PCM displayed on a scan tool?

    First Impressions of ATT

    Trying to leverage what has been learned in OBD-I to OBD-II but as you know more complexity to doing the OBD-II stuff but some things still in the works on that front, a couple of test platforms running it now for a "plug & play" upgrade.

    FSD/PMD "Points to Ponder" How hot does it get

    There are multiple fail modes heat direct component damage is but one of them, also thermal cyclic fail, electrical current issues from poor gnds, and crappy individual components, many years ago at old site I did a survey fail location vs time installed #1 fail location was on IP, #2 was under...

    First Impressions of ATT

    You might want to talk to Dennis about a better matched ATT tune, some more R&D taken place in last 8 mos that you may want to take advantage of.
