    Going mechanical and ...possibly compound turbos??

    You should consider doing some research on compounds. There's more to it then just bolting on a small turbo and a big turbo. You can start by checking out the compound thread on the dieselplace web site

    high boost

    12psi is about the max you want to run with stock turbo assuming the engine is all stock, after that the exhaust back pressure becomes real high and adds stress to the motor. I would think you have a bad waste gate solenoid, sounds like it's sticking open and not closing when it should. You...

    6.2 diesel infront of a 5lm60 transmission

    Anyone with input about running the stock radiator from the truck to cool the 6.2? The truck won't doing any real towing

    New 6.2 660 GM short block build with DS4 injection pump

    Wow, that's a clean motor! Very nice. Are the 660 blocks the ones with a two piece rear main seal?

    6.2 diesel infront of a 5lm60 transmission

    The nv3500 should be a bit better and replaced the 5lm60 a few years later. What did you have to do to mate the nv3500 to the 6.2? Thanks

    Another BD Quick Spool Valve Install with A/C

    Just check his banks manifold thread, he has a rough mock up of the front cross over with a van manifold. Looks pretty sweet

    6.2 diesel infront of a 5lm60 transmission

    I have thought of using the nv4500 to replace the 5lm60, eventually maybe if the 5lm60 blows up. I'm not looking to do burn outs, just looking for economy for now.

    6.2 diesel infront of a 5lm60 transmission

    I really want to put a 6.2 diesel in my truck, currently powered by a 305. My truck is a 5 speed, the 5lm60. It shifts nice and smooth. Will this transmission mount to a 6.2 diesel and handle it with no problem? The 6.2 will be kept n/a until I can afford to turbo it. If they do bolt and work...

    Another BD Quick Spool Valve Install with A/C

    True but think of the increased more efficient flow with the addition of a custom front crossover

    Flexplate bolts

    Sorry I think I made a mistake. Are you talking about the flex plate to converter bolts or flex plate to crank bolts? I was talking about the converter ones. The truck I was refering to was my '96 6.5 automatic

    Precision u joint blew after 2 weeks

    Got back home a short while ago from napa, luckily the owner was there and he made sure the new u joint was properly installed. I checked it good myself and it looks good. Will install the shaft back in the truck tomorrow.

    Precision u joint blew after 2 weeks

    I just took out the drive shaft, looks ok. One end cap is still in the drive shaft and the rest of the u joint is in the yoke. What I think happend is the c clip came out and allowed the end cap to vibrate out.

    Precision u joint blew after 2 weeks

    I called napa this morning, told them about what happend. They said bring the driveshaft and they will swap in a new u joint free of charge. I'm just gonna have to closely inspect it before I put the shaft back in

    G80 rebuild or...?

    How about dropping in a powertrax lok right? They are priced fair and from what ive heard, they perform very well.
