    6.5 or 8.2

    not to tug at your heartstrings but i love the sound of the 8V92 in this vid. Always loved the 2-stroke jimmy sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol5smgv2GyE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

    SS diesel supply marine injectors?

    N/A injectors are set for ~1,800 psi. Turbo injectors are set for ~2,000. You can tell what they were set for by looking at the injector body. A red plastic "ring" around where the 2 halves thread together means it's a turbo set injector.

    6.5 or 8.2

    Kenny i love the look of the old Generals. Top it off that it has a screaming jimmy in it, and it's perfect. Only thing you need is a Smokey and the bandit 2 paint job, and the signature trailer. :rof:

    Getting ready to start my project !!!

    Have a feeling you'll find the Brass and Copper radiator to be built better. The aluminum core/plastic tank rads are throwaways. The copper/brass can be repaired 90% of the time. I wouldn't run a plastic/aluminum in place of a Copper/Brass rad. Not to mention soldered on tanks on the...

    Turbo Blanket opinions.

    I too have been debating one for my K-5 just because the air intake is fairly close to the turbine housing. I'd think they'd help lower under hood temps. I know when i wrapped part of my exhaust due to it heating up the non-insulated floors after a 15 mile drive in stop and go traffic i can...

    SS diesel supply marine injectors?

    :frown2: I'd personally send my injectors to Accurate Diesel. I've got multiple sets here somewheres i have to send out soon.

    SS diesel supply marine injectors?

    His own website contradicts his product. It's just like "new and improved" it's one of the other, not both. And as far as my opinion, I wouldn't use SSD injectors if I were paid to run them. May sound harsh, but that's how i feel. Don't skimp on injectors, because it will bite you in the...

    Pensacola diesel quality?

    The last DB2 i got from them that was "rebuilt" ended up having a skipping very lumpy sounding idle after less than 8,000 miles. Pump wasn't super expensive, and i trusted the guy i got it from, but it still turned out to be junk. Pump still looks new, but the engine ran like $h!t. Give...

    6.5 or 8.2

    8.2 as in the "fuel pincher" 8.2? It's not worth it IMO. The injectors in that engine are a really strange design, and the tool to properly time them has been out of production for years. You can't get the tool anymore, so unless your guy has one, you'll never be able to set the injection...

    Problem getting the black smoke to clear up with A-team. Looking for ideas.

    Compression on the 6.2 was ~21.5:1. give or take .1-.2 of a point. Compression on early 6.5s was the same. Later on in it's life the compression dropped about a point to ~20.5:1, again give or take .1-.2 of a point. That's not a huge difference. 21.5 to 18 is a huge difference. At least...

    Fans and clutch substitution

    4 bolt vs 6 bolt? I'm guessing you mean the fan mounting to the clutch? My 9 blade fan clutch is a 4 bolt hub to the water pump, as is my 6 blade stocker, and my 6.2. The hub on my 6.2(v-belts) is smaller, to the bolt holes of the 6.5 fan do not line up with studs on the 6.2 v-belt water...

    Fans and clutch substitution

    Orrum with your truck being a 91 he should be able to use the reverse rotation fan the 6.5 uses. Go with Barry's suggestion. However. If it's a v-belt engine you cannot use the 6.5 fans as they are designed to be installed on the reverse rotation water pumps, which means the fan spins...

    air intake location changed.....

    The only thing that would bother me now is if you go through a huge puddle that intake looks like a prime candidate for getting water in(engine suction can pull water straight up). Granted i'm running a similar setup on my K-5, but at the same time it's not that low down, and it also has a...

    FFM heater and control of it

    Remember the cummins P7100 IP is lubricated by the engine oil IIRC. A pump lubricated by the fuel(The DB2/DS4) might not last on that concoction.

    Got a 93 K3500...What to do with it ?

    Hope you got a good bit for it. That truck was clean. oh BTW stop selling shit you enjoy driving. Remember the tahoe? I wouldn't have sold that rig unless i was offered a ridiculous price tha twould've been stupid to turn down.

    Motor mounts...

    Cut a fram open then cut any other quality filter open. Odds are you'll never use a Fram again. The problem is that places like Walmart and other high volume stores want to sell the filters for $2-$3. You can't build a decent filter for that price, but the buyers(big corporations) don't...

    Motor mounts...

    Of course. But odds that's about it. I wouldn't run a Fram if someone bought it, and paid me 10x what it's worth to run it.

    FFM heater and control of it

    Just remember that on the old mercedes diesels the IP was lubricated by the engine oil. It didn't much care what it was pumping. On the 6.2 the IP is lubricated by the fuel, which mean fuel flows throughout the entire IP. If you swap from a relatively thin fuel like diesel to a thick fuel...
