No problem Tim....this forum is about the truth - might as well put it out there, and it might as well come from the owner....no sense in confusing people.... Remember - this engine blew up at highway speeds with a small trailer in tow... Matt - I never blocked off my oil cooler lines - I...

Umm... That truck has only hit the track once.....and that was last year - didn't get to the track this year with it. Also, that truck did not do any heavy pulling - my old truck did (94). That was a truck with bolt ons readily available through many vendors and it was running empty...

Chad - make sure you keep the washers and nuts for the tops of the headstuds....they are specific to that kit from what I was told by ARP...

Wow! I killed that engine...LOL! That explains why the engine sounded so loud and then instantly just shut off.... Another reason to get a better crankshaft....

That would be great! Like I said before, I am sure that the #8 con rod will be sticking out the side of the block....

The heads in the hotrod are good....you may want to swap out the precups for larger ones if power is what you are after...

Hey Guys, Just a thread to point guys towards the classifieds section. I am going to start parting out the hotrod. Please do not fire me any PMs aout parts yet...I will post parts as I get time to remove them... No need to respond to this thread and mods can feel free to delete it as...

Unthread them all the way.....crank the engine with the PMD disabled to blow them out of the head....

It is diagnostic use....no sense overthinking it....:rolleyes5: A paperclip does just fine for a trip around the block....been there done that....many times....

Turn it around.... And drill out the mounting holes one size bigger...

Unplug the sensor and jump the wire connector...should hit OD now....

Your ECT sensor/wiring is causing the issue....99% sure...

Pick up a DMAX Kenny.....Once you go 'Max' you will never go back....

Thanks for doing this Wrecker....the new ride could use an oil change....I'm in...

Fix the 6.5 and sell it....talk to me about 6.5 parts for your CUCV later...I have a pile of 'em...

I have seen a resistor go bad and throw a code 56....gmctd and I figured it was just bad luck... Timing looks to be off a touch....should be 3.5 ish degrees with an OE chip...
