Maybe it was gmt800 style lol, but yes those are identical to what I was referencing
I usually go with function over fashion... But mirrors need to look good lol
have you tried the GMT900 style mirrors you can get now adays?
i wanted to go that route, due to the looks, but apparantly they are pretty shakey on the highway :(
dodge mirrors shaky at speed? or do they hold firm?
Youse guys recommend the marine injectors?
As is right now I don't think it would benefit much, but eventually I would like to have more power to pull the hills, will the marine injectors be better than reg. Injectors?
dont worry bison, truck will look better when i am done playing with it!
i talked to a guy who bought the marine injectors from SS Diesel, and it cost him $650ish i believe shipped to his door.
doesnt sound too shabby, but i suppose i can price out some locals, which im sure will be over...
I love this truck, like I said above I had the 98 k1500 z71 before, and I loved it, but not practical for towing the camping trailer...
I looked for a long long long time to find the 6.5L w/ NV4500 behind it, and once I found this truck I fell in love. And I would buy another. I think if I...
its all good chevypoor, the more discussions i read about this, the more i can learn! :D
i was kinda thinking along the lines of changing the injectors anyways, maybe i should start pricing this out.
if it is going to get me better mileage, it should be worth the cost no?
lol
I will check her again tomorrow all warmed up, and perhaps rig a hose/tube and try the water test. Can't hurt to try both lol.
What's the thoughts on low range? What are some obvious steps to check so I could lessen fuel consumption?
i did the blow by test method mentioned by AK back a few posts, it was right after firing the truck up after work and was about -15 or so, and checking from the oil fill tube, there didnt appear to be any vapors coming from it? i think i did it properly, not sure if the engine should be cold or...
will get some pics up on this thread tomorrow for you folks. its dark out, and i have a terrible setup to get pics, i use my work phone to take pics, then email to my tablet, upload to photobucket, then post on computer or tablet the photos lol
hello everyone, my name is Brandon, and I come from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada
i bought my truck in March or April 2013 with the intended use of a mix between daily drive, camping trailer hauler, dirt bike hauler (sometimes multiple dirt bikes, or a quad on occasion)
day to day stuff...
i dont understand common sence with diesel engines... i have used them lots with work, but never really had to do anything but change gears lol
i bought this truck so i could get into a camping trailer eventually, and i wanted something that would be able to tow well, and get good mileage while...
Haha, I'm trying not to be a douche like most people in this town Bison
Where u from near peace river?
I am going to check for the blow by when I turn the truck on to leave work this evening, is this best to check at startup or when the engine is warm?
The hose isn't much of a concern, I can...
It's a process I suppose, bought the truck in march or April 2013, and never had the time or money to do anything with it except the necessities.. Now I am starting to fix her up slowly.. Big dirty oil leak on top of the valve cover seemed to be important to me at the time.
Sorry for sounded...
Found it! Sick, thanks for the help guys,
Ordered the grommit, should be in tomorrow or Saturday.. Hopefully a good cleaning on the CDR itself and hose replacement / cleaning will stop these leaks.. If not, pats auto can hook me up with a CDR for $100...
Canadian prices suck, but when you are...
Chevypoor, I could not find the grommit on rock auto, I have my local ac delco parts guy helping me here, but he can't find what I am trying to explain... And I could not find the grommit on the rock auto website... Lol
