    Low oil pressure at hot idle

    This might sound elementary, but... Have you tried other oil brands to find the same situation? It's a different animal but I ran Castrol brand oil in a relatively fresh Vortec 350 many moons ago and at idle, the oil pressure would drop to nearly zero when warm. As soon as I kicked the idle...

    Torque convertor staying locked up causing stalling?

    Thanks @THEFERMANATOR . Do you suspect a mechanical or electrical issue then? Either way, would you suspect the problem is inside the transmission?

    Headlights always on/No Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

    Copy that, Les. Delayed response but I'll see if I can get this done before going further. Nothing else seems to work. For years, I push the dome light switch a few times and headlights go out. Still no DRL, however.

    Turbo blanket

    What is a good choice for a turbo blanket? This came up in a thread @n8in8or posted - tz31847-g3. Still a good choice for a HX35/40? Should I be covering the adapter pipe also out of the back of the turbo, to the downpipe? I don't want to take a chance of melting my hood and there is no...

    Torque specs on oil filter adapter bolt?

    Well, mine has a crush washer now. If anyone wonders, the split side goes toward the bolt head. This is from referencing the bolt in the adapter from the HMMWV adapter.

    Torque convertor staying locked up causing stalling?

    Will this problem likely go away with a remanned transmission?

    The rat run isn't structural. It is so you have a place to walk or stand if ever needed for when you might need to be above the ceiling.

    My new shop

    Do you have any rat runs above the ceiling? They make it easier for doing any sort of maintenance or for when you run lights, etc. I see you have your electric ran up there, but just in case. You can lay a 2x6 or 2x8 on its side between the trusses and it gives you a place to walk. Screw...

    And once the last screw is in, it won't need painted Nice fixture. Very creative.

    Torque specs on oil filter adapter bolt?

    Where does the crush washer go? I had my adapter on and off a few times and have no memory of it.

    My new shop

    Nice! Will you run a vertical post or two in an area where you can set really heavy things? Near the area where a vise would be for example. ...or get really slick and make up a couple fold down legs that can swing down when needed but are up out of the way otherwise.

    '95 Engine build

    Timing gears offer a significantly different sound. This is going to take some getting used to.

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

    I drove it. That's all. First time since about August 2022.

    Fluid Film is your friend if you plan to drive it in the salt. Welcome to the forum!

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    I think if the build wasn't done by a well known reputable builder, he is going to have a very hard time selling for that kind of money. If by a recognized name on here or a couple other forums and he could prove what was done, then they might fetch a reasonable price.

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    If it is red, doesn't that make it a P400?

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    Are you sure that isn't the "Sidewinder" you're referring to rather than "Stinger"? @Husker6.5

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    I am not sure the 3" is correct for my 2-1/2" downpipe. Need to research more I guess.
