A year or two ago there was some talk about GEP working on a DI 6.5L project. Possibly with a new injection system as well. Just wondered if anybody has heard anything new. Id like to see this happen, but I dont know if Id be in the market to buy one if it did make it to market.

This is pissing me off too. I put new orings in when I did my rebuild and used dope on the cooler lines. Well the lines leaked like everyone else who used dope! So I pulled it all apart and used tape, then the adaptor started leaking from the big oring!(it was probably always leaking, but you...

Not much new yet. Just been driving it and loving every minute! But I had an opportunity today that I couldn't pass up. Craigslist ad turned up for brand new Heath H/O injectors, install kit, and socket. I jumped on it, but paid about 3X what a set is listed for in the classifieds! Although...

Ive always wondered about the turbo from a 6.6/7.8 'brazilian' ford sixer. Ive learned its a Garrett T04E14 with a couple different exhaust housings avaliable. One is for sale near me with a 0.7 A/R compressor and 1.0 turbine.(some have a 1.32 turbine) What I know about turbos could be learned...

There are some remote starters out there now that use the factory remote. You lock the doors twice (or 3 times) and it activates the starter. But that just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure there's a way to use the third and possibly fourth buttons on the OEM setup to activate a wide range of...

Was it with a factory remote? That's my big hold up. I can find aftermarket systems that do everything, including pet the cat. But I want to do it with OEM parts. Even if they are robbed from a Dmax rig. I can understand that the quality of such aftermarket stuff may have improved in recent...

So here's my fancy idea. I have factory keyless entry on both my 97 and 99. The remotes have 2 buttons, lock and unlock. The suburbans/tahoes/blazers from the same period have a third button for rear door/hatch. Why can't I use a S/T/B reciever/remotes and wire the 3rd function to a remote...

Dang it! I was planning to order a DP kit in a few months when I start playing with my different turbos. I'm glad to hear of your good fortune. Good luck with the mandrin!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it and let you know.

I might be in. Tell me how it compares to a Tach-N-Time. I've never used my TNT because I've always had electronic diesels, but maybe someday I'll need it!

It is... Typo on the MF site. It's a 3.5" pipe with 4" tip.

I actually haven't tried anything yet. I just noticed the problem in the last couple days. It stops OK accept in a panic situation. 3 times since friday I thought I was about to cause my first accident and it's got me wondering... Traffic was heavier than usual this weekend because of a...

I think there would be plenty of room in a pickup. I want it for two reasons. First, it deepens the tone. Making it a little meaner and a little less harsh. Second, the Magnaflow system I got for my 1/2 ton has a 4" tail pipe w/5" tip....my diesel needs to be bigger than that! OK, so...

OK, I've got some good ideas from reading this thread and a couple others here. But here's what brought me in the first place... I notice with my '99 that if I'm in traffic and suddenly everyone stops I can push the pedal so far I feel my foot rubbing on the front wheel!(which helps with the...

Thanks for the suggestion DennisG01. I'll have to give him a call and ask a a couple questions. I called DE and asked about a SS system. The nice lady who answered the phone said that it wasn't something they were likely to do. Even as a special request. I suppose they make them in...

I wondered if something like this might be an issue. I fear it might take a competely different program to bend the stainless into the same shape as aluminized. But I wonder if the burbs have a different shape over the rear axle because of the floor in the back? Maybe a pickup doesn't need...

I don't know if I have room for 2 mufflers. It's only a crew cab long box...:hihi: Can't believe I just used a smiley... I think it's a good idea for sure. Allows for 'tuneability' too. DE doesn't officially make SS exhaust for the 6.5L, but they make both SS and aluminized for the Dmax...

Convienent. I'm getting a few other things from him anyway. About the muffler, what I want is exhaust that is mostly un-noticed until you plant your right foot firmly on the floor. Then it should talk to you a little. Not talk to everyone in a 3 state area! Just you, just a little, and...

I hear that! (see the pun?) I've never been one for loud exhaust. I like something with a good sound, but not loud. Loud doesn't mean powerful, just like black smoke doesn't mean power either. Oh, how so many have yet to learn.... But now that you got us on the subject, what muffler...

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind.
