Hey great white, nice job. Very nice and clean. I'm wondering what filter unit did you get? I've been looking around, and I see that Heath sells one, but not much information listed. I tend to like to look around and compare things before I buy something. If you could share I would appreciate...
Nice thread and very nice mod, very interesting! I'm new to diesel's and turbo's, I've read about turbo masters before and I assumed that the waste gate was still "modulated" with the turbo master. After seeing this I think I was wrong. The "TM" simply holds the waste gate open/close at a given...
I used GPS to track speed. I have also been through a few of those "this is your speed" deals the cops leave around town. All have been spot on. Stock tire size is a 265 so buddy is correct, 2 inches off. As far as tank size the owners manual that came with it said it is a 22 gal. Not sure how...
I bought my truck with over-sized tires (305/70 16) and have checked the speedometer numerous times and found it to be accurate. Is it possible for the odometer to be off while the speedometer is accurate?
I am asking because I'm trying to track fuel mileage. With a 22 gal tank, I am only...
Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this. Very interesting. So, if I understand this, we (6.5 owners) simply can't put enough fuel and air into our engine to create enough drive pressure to turn the turbine fast enough to over boost, thus no waste gate needed. Pretty cool.
It is my understanding that the waste gate on a turbo helps control how much boost is applied (please correct me if i'm wrong). That being said, if the A-Team Turbo has no waste gate how is boost controled?
I haven't. But considering I have dropped my boat in the water with out the plug twice, it is possible. Fortunately the boat never made it off the trailer before I noticed.
I don't really "want" higher RPM's, I was just questioning the peak torque/peak mileage theory. I won't change to 4.10's until other mods have been completed. I only tow about 5k pounds right now, and don't get me wrong, it goes down the road at 60 mph just fine. I just want it to go down the...
With taller tires, I'm running 305/70's, would 4.10's actually help improve my fuel mileage?
I've always figured a taller gear meant higher RPM's which meant more fuel, but it should actually take less fuel to go the same speed, shouldn't it?
I'm still learning about the 6.5, I've read...
Cool man. I appreciate the pics. They do look good, and at $179 I don't think I will be able to beat that. I think you were right about the Watchdog not getting much use, not much response to the post.
Thanks for your help.
PS. Love the quote in your sig.
Hey BigBlueChevy, I noticed in your signature you are running the Sunpro Sport ST. I have also been looking at that package. How do you like it? I started to shy away from it when I saw that it was a "universal" pillar mount. Did you have any problems with fitment?
First will come the guages...
I've been looking for some guages and I came across the Watchdog from Bully Dog. Is anyone using it? Opinions?
Would it be useful on our trucks? It states all OBD II trucks, but what does the computer in our truck monitor? Obviously this thing isn't going to make magic happen, but if our...
Hey Patrick, I'm thinking about a FTB upgrade when I get my new lift pump. I have a few questions...
What exactly has to be done to the fuel manager?
Does your kit include what is needed for the modification of the fuel manager or do I need to purchase that seporately?
If I purchase a...
Hello everyone, I just updated my signature so I won't repeat what you all can see. I've had my truck for a year in October, almost 10k miles ago, so far no problems. I have a little fishbiting right now, but not bad at all, comes and goes. Hoping that a new lift pump will fix that. I figure a...
Thanks for the info so far. I will get the vin and do a vin check (I forgot about that). I did one before purchace on a different site and remember the IP and the PMD being replaced a few times and the IP as recent as 119K, but I can't recall if the injectors have been replaced or the lift pump...
