    Quick overnight test: Drive and park as normal Check and note on paper current voltage of each battery Disconnect (and clean) all terminals to batteries, leave disconnected overnight Check several times (if possible) as batteries "rest" Check again just before re-attaching terminals to...

    GLE wierd shifting.

    My stock tune would go to "coast" almost immedately when letting off the throttle. Great for mpg, but hard on brakes With the Kojo tune it feels even more like this. When you let off there is a very brief "surge" and then free wheel (almost feels like you threw it in nuetral) So I've never...

    A-Team Turbo?

    Gotta love the ATT Absolutely love what the A Team Turbo and Kojo reflash have done for my big beast. Slightly better mpg, and "pull" that seems never to quit. Tows great, and who would have thought that the ole 6.5 could pull my 8000lb rig to 100mph at will??!! The high pitched GM...

    The A Team Turbo - Does it whistle?

    My old GM8 would high pitch whistle every time you spooled her up. It was kinda cool to hear her sing inside the cab in accordance to your right foot. My ATT has a much deeper jet turbine "whoooosh" which doesn't quit till you run of road or back off at 100+mph!!

    Whistle while you work... GM-8 and soot trap-ectomy

    Add a $5 boost fooler to silence the codes, and keep the boost at 12ish lbs (was the sweet spot for me) Enjoy!

    need verification before dropping the money

    Mine works great! When you hear that "WHOOSH" check the temp gauge and watch it drop 25 degrees in just a few seconds! Only issue is that it activates so seldomly that the first time it needs to come on it seems to need a "spike" to kick her on, then it works normally. Mine was SSD kit, not...

    6.5 engine builder, anyone have experience with them?

    I used Promar (in NJ) for a longblock. Reman block and brand new meatier heads. Also came with 3 yr 75k warranty for $3500. No tin or accessories. Worked for me!!

    ATT and KOJO tune for my 97

    Exhaust OR WMI??? So I boxed in the air cleaner to only get air from the fender opening and my under-bumper super redneck ram air tube Truck performs great, but no better/worse than before the boxing in of the air cleaner EGT's still run up pretty good, 1200 on an empty high speed run, I...

    ATT and KOJO tune for my 97

    More feedback As turbo wears in, it is quicker to boost and actually maintains a couple pounds at highway speeds (65-ish). When it was new, it was much slower to boost and smokier, and would drop to almost no boost at cruise until it was revved back up. I still had a pretty good haze, and...

    AC High Side Valve Removal?

    It bubbles on the aluminum block at the bottom of the two nuts, I thought valve was above this... I'd love it if a $6 valve would fix this! (a mechanic friend thought whole line would be needed)

    AC High Side Valve Removal?

    Little green bubbles on base of this valve My 97 needs a recharge every year (and then works fine) and now is needing a can added every month or so This valve seem to be the culprit I modded this picture to show what is happening Time to replace whole line? Anybody ever "peen" a leak...

    Bring it on! Att vs. Hx35

    My new turbo and tune work great, and I hope everyone finds something that works best for them (stock, Mitsu, Holset, A-Team, etc) based on their needs, budget and ability to tinker. I'm not a big fan of generaton X attitude either, but we all gotta live on this rock together. That being...

    ATT and KOJO tune for my 97

    HOLY $H**!! Just got the KOJO tune PCM installed. Truck immediately sounded much quieter (do I need to do a relearn or something?), like a stocker, could barely tell it was a diesel Did not need to do anti-theft on this WT no frills model (who would steal Old Yeller anyway?) I also...

    EGT Probe Question

    SWEET! What a time saver. Drill small hole in crossover, tighten band clamp, feed wires to gauge, done! I'll give it a try, after all, its paid for!

    EGT Probe Question

    Gotcha So I'll dig up my dual EGT snowmobile gauge (I found a second matching probe), and I'll do one in the crossover pipe and one in the air intake If it's the matching probe and gauge (all factory made, no splices, etc) it should work on our diesels right?

    EGT Probe Question

    Looking to relocate the EGT probe after the ATT install In my "leftover parts" box, I have a brand new snowmobile style EGT probe that would fit very well on the crossover pipe. It would require just a quick drill into the pipe, and it self seals and is held in place by a band clamp. They...
