Checking placement, driver fitment, and such. Tomorrow confirming drive shaft balance on this one. Still have to outsource Roll Cage updates, parachute pushbar combo and fire suppression system. Who knows, we may make it to World Finals in September. For personal rigs, corrected one of the...

Had to have been a bad starter because the exciter wire was correctly attached to it. The question I have now is how the $%^&* did a 3/8” vs. M-10 Starter bolt get used in one of the holes?

You called it Brother. I’m sorry I missed your post. But, we’d already towed it to Wayne’s (the mechanic). When we walked in this morning to pick it up he had this grin on his face and I was already planning on asking, ‘so what stupid little thing did I miss?” So I just went with it as...

Thanks to everyone who’ve offered their assistance in sorting out the starter issue. . Mechanic sorted it all out in no time and I’m smacking my head repeatedly…. Yes, it was the exciter wire but it wasn’t…I put the exciter wire on the incorrect stud. Oh well, this is why we don't have nice...

With reference to the Relay in the Under Hood Fuse box. The relay is clicking and I’ve swapped in a known good relay from BigT’s ‘not a donor car yet’ suburban. It also clicks but, that’s the only life sign we have. With the Starter Relay removed, Yes, I have power to the relay’s connector at...

Neutral Safety Switch info is very good to know as that was another concern. Who knows what evil learns in the hearts of electrical systems. With the battery lead to starter disconnected, I need to confirm the status of the Purple exciter wire, Ensure it isn’t broke / open between starter and...

Under Hood Pin outs for the starter relay for those who want to play along. Hint, this would be the view if you were looking at the bottom of the box.

Parked the truck in what has to be a subdivision of Shangrila. Yes, this place does exist and pictures do not do the house, the area or the views justice but, boy do we still try to capture them. When invited to visit, take my advice (even if you have to get towed here), don’t delay, BigT...

Having my own drama. The 2014 ghost of 'Oh S!!!t' revisited. Half-shaft backed out of the "cup" thing attaching to the differential. Not my first rodeo, unfortunately and I'm fully flummoxed as i thought I had this sago sorted out years ago. Just happy it didn't take out the front...

Took two of my grand daughters for a joy ride. Got ice cream, washed the truck and cleaned the ice cream melting from the interior. They are 7 and 11 years old, love to ‘help Opa fix the truck’ and go for ‘test drives’ afterwards. They wave at everyone cause the truck is so cool and they want...

CARB approved

Happy to help with info. I did the same after getting the engine sorted out and installing a new tank. Left the sock on the sender (still there), OEM LP was fine in commuter traffic, aftermarket 2 micron filter just before the IP vs. the FFM and continued 3/8” to the IP inlet. It will give you...

Newest edition of AirDog 5G-100 and 165 models are pre-set at factory to 8-10 psi. Mine is an older 165 and min. pressure is also 10 psi. It can be increased to (can’t remember or find) but, unnecessary as it doesn’t drop under WOT. Quadstar sells the 5G version, Leroy’s advertised unit is the...

FWIW, My experience is that fuel pressure at WOT drops to Zero using the OEM LP w/ Feed the Beast mod. That’s why I decided to go back to my AirDog DF series which is a Flow on Fail set up.

Knocked a couple more items off the Truck Project List I put together while the truck was down. Just because I refused to spend a dime on it until it was actually running correctly didn't mean I wasn't keeping up with the needs. I prioritized Safety, Functionality/Dependability stuff over...

Hate it when the truck is calling but the house has priority. Good to see you’re back on the motor though. Looked good. Not sure which lift pump you want from Kennedy but, his “same as the the one we sell for the duramax” is listed at 4psi. I looked it up on his Duramax offerings since his 6.5...

Military turned down the P-400 over environmental / economical standards. Can’t argue the impact of having better economy from a logistical resupply/sustainment standpoint but, have a hard time with the ‘can’t win if you’re not “super green” too.’ Waiting for the results of the tear down and...

Unless during the partial rebuild you replaced them, curious as to what you find when inspecting the piston rings and the overall condition of the cylinder walls.

Apologies in advance SnowDrift. This is kind of a derail of your fitment quest but, this is funny. Gale Banks tearing into S&B marketing an open box / box less filter set up because "the customer wants it." Big SSDiesel set up for new trucks actually. Remember, S&Bs changed the 6.5 box...

Solving for "?" The width of the air box is 9 1/2" so, without the OEM plastic air ducting inserted into the fender's opening, it just might fit. It sits on the inner fender in a slight incline so the side against the waste gate controller isn't plumb so it is canted a few degrees. Kind...
