Nice! I noticed you have the CDR bung opening for the valve cover on the drivers side, are you running it on that side, running dual CDR's, or making provisions for a centrifuge setup?

https://www.amazon.com/OTC-5060-Detroit-Diesel-Injector/dp/B002Y0B7AQ 30mm 12 point socket. this one has the provisions inside to keep from breaking off the return line bibs.

If I did that I wouldn't be able to keep my pooch off from it LOL

taking the wider tires for the dually will fit, but spacers might be needed for the rears. the main thing is you don't want the side walls to be able to touch when the truck is loaded. just simply mounted with the truck's weight is not enough to judge if they will be ok or not. also if one...

I would say start at the stock spec for factory turbo, 2150. then go from there. have your old ones tested and see where they are at.

I swapped them out on the 6.2 block I have on the stand without any issues. they fit just fine. remember it's only a 1/4" height difference. not much.

the main issue with side posts is corrosion that gets in there and you can't see it especially with the factory GM cables that have the boot over them. also with the little spacer that allows double cables. dis-similar metals cause a chemical reaction, that happens with happens as well with...

the dual post is a good option too! using both on each battery is good for better connections!

before you install though, get you a roll of the return hose. your gonna want to replace all of that small hose. there are kits that are pre-cut at the auto parts, but you can also get a roll of the stuff too. I used the pre-cut kit on my 95, I will have to look up the part number if you...

the main thing on balancing them is making sure one isn't way out of whack, but with new old stock, it's probably unlikely that will happen. if you install and your smoking on the first startup diminishes to only having just a little. you know you've found the main cause. meanwhile have...

I just thought about it now, but what about electro-plating? there are options there like copper, nickle and what not. it's takes time but it's something most can do at home. I don't think the plating will come off from the inside of the line when done, but silicone rubber plugs can be...

it used to be that way, but nowadays not so much. being those are new old stock, it's possible they were tested. They will. it's rare these days to find one that needs the coarse thread injectors. pull the #1 out and see / compare. just be careful with the return lines and barbs so you...

as far as it being protected. yes and no... every circuit in the cab is protected by a fuse, but some of the leads coming off that block go direct to other things like the alternator and whatnot. on most rigs of this age, it's always recommended to replace the battery cables with heavy...

You can always install a 100 amp breaker similar to the ones used on car stereo amps. something that is re-settable and will mount on the firewall next to the distro block. I second the notion to run a heavier gauge wire direct from the battery also. GM is known for using wires that are...

I would say get them balanced. best kind of insurance policy for long term. see what Chris says. factory spec is 2150psi balanced within 25 psi of each other. most any diesel shop can do it for you, check out prices though. @MrMarty51 has sent a few sets to a good shop near him that I...

Part # on that box comes up as the short body turbo injectors.

I've been doing some research on heat treating PLA and it seems that you can heat it to a certain temp and hold it there for a while. it will slowly harden or crystalize and be good to use in the outdoors or inside a vehicle. I kinda did that by accident leaving a piece I made in my truck...

Right now I'm just using PLA. it's not meant for outdoor use nor heat, but I want to experiment with it giving it a coat of clear to protect from the sun and see what happens. I can switch to PETG which will hold up on it's own better and possibly ASA, but ASA has been a thorn in my side...

I'm working on tuning and perfecting the prints Once I get that done I can mass produce them LOL.

The squarebody's are luxury! it's how you look at it lol. today's luxury cars I see nothing but problems and multiple trips to the dealers for repair!
