    My old enjun’d oil things up real quick like. Now I’m searching for a throttle body that would have a 2-5/8ths OD for the hose size. Most have a square four bolt flange on the other end. I can build an adapter for that. I just cant have enough going on on my truck. Just have to create more...

    I just didnt want to commit to it being safe to run. I have a fear of an engine having a run away experience. I am going to adapt a throttle body from a gasoline powered engine into my intake system. I want to have the capability of shutting down the source of air/oxygen just in case something...

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

    Wow, that was a fortunate mis-hap. Not fortunate that you had to spend more money but fortunate on the location. I do have a good pulley that I had removed from an arm that wasnt holding up so good some more. The pulley had been replaced and I put maybe 10,000 on the new pulley when the...

    Sad but true. You could try a new CDR valve but it most likely would be the rings.

    My new garage.

    IDK what that stuff was that they sprayed over the foam board. Many chemicals melt that stuff so it must be something quite special.

    My new garage.

    I loved going into Sawyers store. Fresh meat hanging, fresh burger in the glass cooler, candy, candy bars. Ice cream snacks. What a treat but too poor to spend much. I sold news papers on the streets, ten cents, a nickel profit. I’d save my money and buy some apples or peaches, something that...

    My new garage.

    It was once a real nice grocery store. Is solid concrete then the foam boards placed over the concrete. I’m not sure about the fastening devices. After it was all sheeted in then they sprayed this stuff on the foam.

    My new garage.

    I’ll get a picture of this building. This one was done about six or so years ago. Looks solid as a rock. Pic after I get home in bout a half hour. 😹

    My new garage.

    Over here, they started installing closed cellular foam board to the exterior of some builldings then using some kind of s cement/grout looking stuff to spread over them. Gives it a sort of a stucco look but with great insulation value.

    Hi everyone

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Thats just a cap to block off the return fuel. If You have some small 30R9 rated hose and a small plug You can make a new cap for that fitting. Pull the cap and take it to the parts store. Even 30R4 hose will hold temporarily until You can get the good stuff from QuadStar Tuning or Leroy Diesel...

    Possible ok block,crank, ds4 for sale

    I got this injection pump purchased today. I also have a brand new one coming from QST too. Flight Systems pump will be going back to them. Thinking I’ll install this used pump and hold the new pump. I have learned that the seals are good for only a number of years so in the meantime I’ll...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    If there are no wires plgged into the CC unit then you most likely are correct.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yes. If an injector line begins to leak it will cause that cylinder to miss. If the leak is not too bad the cylinder will begin to sort of drop out. If there is a bad injector, or for some reason the engine has a miss, start loosening the tube nuts at each injector, usually a couple of turns, if...
