    Slide-in Camper vs Fifth Wheel

    Yes, on cooling. The Champion aluminum radiator is a mighty good choice. Taking no chances I had my new radiator shipped to Chris @Twisted Steel Performance and had Him do the thermal coat system, then, He shipped the radiator over to Me. Also the fan clutch. @Big T has a fan clutch on His...

    Head Lights to LED conversion.

    My truck has been converted to the 4 bulb 4”x6” headlight system from a 1988-1989 pickup. I think that with all four bulbs being lit up on the hi and low beam bulbs being ignited all at the same time is taxing to the 30 amp main fuses in the under the hood fuse box when the heater blower and AC...

    Slide-in Camper vs Fifth Wheel

    A better turbo and a tune to match that turbo would be a nice improvement. Its a chunka change but well worth it.

    Slide-in Camper vs Fifth Wheel

    First and foremost important item, get an electronical fuel pressure gauge between the FFM and the IP. I read a lot and take to heart what is taught in this TTS classroom. I am told that the DB4 really likes between 8, IIRC, and 14 PSI of fuel pressure. Anything below 8 and it causes excessive...

    Brakes ? ? ? ?

    Brakes ? ? ? ?

    Yup, very sharp turn getting into a parking place. Sensor to the outside would have been turning faster than the inside one so thats most likely what tripped the ABS. Thank You very much.

    RPM dip & surge

    What I now have discovered. I had a Dorman PMD on the remote heat sink since 2017. It never once failed or made any signs of going bad. Not even that sort of a hickup we talking about in here. Day before yessterday the PMD failed. Switched to a new Flight Systems unit. This morning idling in a...

    Brakes ? ? ? ?

    I’m in Missoula. Pulling into a place to park. Turning the steer wheel quite sharply, brake pedal was sort of hard to push down. When it did go, sort of like normal pressure, it felt like the ABS was engaging. This happened twice. Anyone have any suggestions or easy quick on the road fix ? I’m...

    Swapping my 1998 Chevy 454 to a Chevy 6.5 from a 1995 Chevy 3500

    Does the IP (injector pump) have throttle cable brackets ? That would be the mechanical pump. If there are no throttle cable brackets and only a lot of wires then it will be an electronical IP.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    IDR all the procedure but one orocedure I do remember, take it to the body shop if motor/channel units nee replaced. I would pull door panels but for some reason the process of pulling motor and channels was always more than I liked to mess wit. 😹😹😹😹

    Swapping my 1998 Chevy 454 to a Chevy 6.5 from a 1995 Chevy 3500

    Oh yeah, from the RF angle of the truck in the picture, that looks to be a mighty fine unit. Better watch it though, there’s a thief standing back there waiting for his opportunity to jump in and roar offt. 😹😹😹

    Swapping my 1998 Chevy 454 to a Chevy 6.5 from a 1995 Chevy 3500

    Hello 5. Welcome to TTS. One question I have is this. Is the Diesel engine a mechanical injection pump or is it an electronical unit. As in DB2 or DS4 ? Oh wait, another Q. Automatic or manual transmission ?

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Welp 💩. That could be a tough one. Clear vizqueen until a motor/channel system arrives ? IDK if the motor can be replaced without the channel too. 🤷😹
