    Got it, thanks!

    Who rebuilds injectors?

    My pickup is probably going to sell tomorrow, so I'll be picking up my new to me 6.5 Sub as soon as I can. (Check this thread on DP for info: http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433407&highlight=) I have the original set of injectors from the 96 somewhere (152k on them), so I...

    HEATH or KOJO?

    He told me the same thing (I have a 5 speed). I like my KOJO tune, only complaint is the turnaround time, which is understandable given his location. I had to have my tune tweaked a bit, and had to wait 5ish weeks to get the updated ECM. He let me keep the original until it arrived and I just...

    Post your Towing Pictures here!

    Today's trailer. Empty in the pic, but earlier had ~3 tons of rock loaded up for the landscaping.

    air intake location changed.....

    Not to hijack, but as read with my ScanGauge the IATs on my intercooled (key point!) truck tends to run ~20-30* above outside temp with this intake setup: I have since rigged up a heat shield of sorts between the turbo/manifold and air filter. This is factored in to what I wrote above. I...

    Time for me to join in as well.

    Looks nice! Don't forget to put your steps up before hitting the road or you'll add those to the to-do list :D

    Which Fan clutch/fan is best?

    10-4. Next question - RA lists a 'Reverse Rotation Severe Duty' fan clutch, along with an OEM AC and a Hayden. Does the Severe Duty really change anything, and why would it be reverse rotation on a '98? Edit: Found my answer on a RockAuto tech page...

    Which Fan clutch/fan is best?

    Stay away as in don't do business with, or stay away as in shoddy parts? I got my 180* tstat from SSD, no problems. It looks like a decent one-stop for a fan combo. I can't afford Heath's or Kennedy's. Not defending the guy in any way, just looking for clarification. AFAIK the RockAuto...

    Which Fan clutch/fan is best?

    Bringing this one back up; pulled my 6500lb (est) TT this weekend, and with the A/C on, running ~65mph in 5th my ScanGauge was reporting coolant temps hovering around 200*, especially with any rises in the road. This is with a 180* t'stat, 98+ water pump and visually clean radiator. Outside...

    Kojo tune

    I have a kojo tune in my 96. It really woke the truck up and made it much easier to pull my 26' TT. I had an issue at first with the program setting the SES light, but Kojo sent me another ECM to take care of it. When I initially talked to Patrick about the ECM, he was up front and said that...

    Fishbite on decel, clutch pushed in

    My 96 started a random fishbite kind of thing this week on decel when I push in the clutch to shift. It seems to happen more if I'm revving high (2500-3000) and then clutch. It is acting like the TPS is sticking if it had one, but does it randomly. I replaced the FSD (bumper mounted) with a...

    what is the best guage face match to GMT 400?

    I used a VDO boost gauge in the dash, mainly because it was cheap and reads 0-15, the pyro isn't in the pic but is just stuck below the dash. It's a white face Autometer, using it because it was free.

    New toy for the 6.5 to pull around...

    Thanks, that's only 2 of the family, my son was napping inside and my other daughter was at Grandma's for the weekend. It was a state park campground. All of the state parks in Indiana have those fire rings. It is a really nice CG, all of the sites are in the woods and most have plenty of...

    New toy for the 6.5 to pull around...

    Finally got the rig out last weekend. Everything worked great, only slip up happened when I didn't realize the freshwater low point drain valve was missing and dumped out all 50 gallons of freshwater our first night. Fixed that first thing when we got home and it's ready to go out again next...

    NV4500 solid flywheel clutch choises and opinions

    Keep us updated on how it turns out, my 96 with solid flywheel is going to need a clutch job soon also. The PO supposedly put a new clutch in ~4k miles before I bought it, but apparently they didn't machine the flywheel because it's VERY jerky when hot. I've had about enough of it and the 3-4...

    P1643 with new KOJO tune

    To update this, Kojo sent me a whole new ECM with an new tune. The SES light is gone, truck still runs great! Thanks again to Kojo and Walking J!

    New Style Towing Mirrors From Option Racing---Buyer Beware

    I bought a set of these, plugged right into my 96. Only complaint is that they vibrate on the highway, but I haven't seen aftermarket mirrors that didn't. Poor quality cell phone pic: Driver's view:

    New toy for the 6.5 to pull around...

    Yep, it has been raining off and on here the last few days and we've checked it. One other plus is we actually looked at this camper in the fall, but had to try and sell our popup before buying. It sat outside at the RV dealer all winter and was dry as a bone when we went to finally make the...
