    Lookin' For a 6.5 Shop in Denver Area

    When my FSD started going it threw a bunch of different codes, too many to list, I thought my Tahoe was ready to fall apart, changed out my FSD and everything cleared up, haven't had any codes since, it's bin two months. So I think if you scan before you mite get a bunch of codes that are...

    sleeving a block

    Every engine that I know have that has been sleeved runs without any concern until it's time to overhaul then they get replaced again. So I don't see why a good engine builder wouldn't be able to sleeve 6.2 or a 6.5 without to much trouble, and have it last.

    Teardown of the pulled engine - Shiny copper colored main and rod bearing inserts!

    That's not what I wanted to read, I've had a lot of chevy's and they've always given me some warning, like a death rattle, or develop a miss long before they finally give up.

    RPM's

    Is there a way to calibrate the RPM gauge, I know the feed comes from the alternater. The bearings went in my old one and just got a reman replacement, and new belt. Now at 65 mph the rpm' s are reading at about 23-2400, before I changed it would read it at 19-2000. If knew that the pulley's...

    98 Burb Hrs vs Miles and what's it worth ??

    Having worked in the oil patch here and seeing how company trucks are leased and abused there is no way i would buy one unless I knew who drove it. The grid roads around here are washboarded, most employee's don't care if it gets' shaken apart. I work out of the same shop as our Fire...

    36 - Injection pulse width error (response time long)

    I agree, I just spent $450 on a new one, mine did this for 8 month's intermittently before it finally burnt out, I also noticed that if i didn't clear the code my milage would drop from 24 mpg to 19.

    Twin IP 6.5 tractor?!?

    Description said netherlands (in layman terms Denmark), I'm not 100% sure but events here are ran the same, unless running over 1000hp and/or exotic fuels (alcohol, propane) then fire suit required. Description said 6.5, I agree I like the looks of the old Scania's like that.

    7/18/10 Are diesels still worth the extra money?

    Here Diesel has always bin cheeper by 5-10 cents a liter than gas, plus most diesels (even chipped ones) have more power and get better milage then the gasser equivalent, so yes it's worth it.
