I drove my uncles 78 Kw925 bed truck with a 5+4 8-71, it has 5" straight pipes, If I build a truck the way I want it it'll have Dyno mat sound deadner everywhere I can put it, and bigger pipes to get rid of some of the high pitched tone. I have heard a couple of 8v-92T's with bigger pipes at...

I love the sound of the Screemin Demon (2 stroke Detroit). Found a diesel shop that'll make one of these meet any emission restrictions. Properly tuned these things don't even blow blue when cold. Looking to buy a Peterbilt 359 or a KW A model and putting a 12v-71TT (700hp awta do it) , Eaton...

I can't answer the first part of your main concern , never had my IP apart and hopefully never will. I used synthetic non detergent 2 stroke oil with my Tahoe for the last yr. and didn't experience any ailment from it I noticed that it seemed to run a little smoother. JiFaire said just use...

Drove 162 miles yesterday drove like a mad man possessed for the first half of the trip (was late), on two lane black top passing a lot of heavy traffic. Speeding up and slowing down 60-90mph. Did 65 mph all the way back against the 20mph wind gusting to 30mhp. = 19mpg.

Thanx man, it seems that any idea I come up with lately some ones already done the leg work, I so happy I found this site...):h):h):h):h

Or even just moving the Turbo? I was even thinking of going with a set up like the TT kit's, (could even stick with a single turbo), they have for the corvette's where the turbos are at the other end of the exhaust where the mufflers are supposed to be, taking more heat from the engine bay...

Ya, your right I called up a marine I know and he's only ever seen the NA in the mil.

I was already aware of this, My uncle has a '77 KW 925 with straight stacks a 8v-71 with full Jake,5+4 twin stick tranny in one of his winch trucks ( is the reason why I love these engines so). Also have a Cockshutt 1950 at the farm with a 4-53, have it screamin along at 2800 when in the field...

It might be like on the 8v,12v,16v-71& 92 TT's that detroit made, once the turbos spooled up the and started to develop higher pressure than the blower there is a valve inside the blower that would open and the pressure would be the same on both sides of the blowers compressor, at which point...

I thought I read somewhere the military hummers don't have turbo's and have a gear driven blower instead and mechanical injection too, or was I just dreaming it.

I'll agree with the 1st gen cummins, my uncle has a 92 power wagon 4x4 he's never had a problem with it. 500,000 + km's, and still pulls a 5th wheel stock trailer to the rodeo's with all his gear. He bought it new in '92 and has only done the regular maintenance, I think he replaced the...

Thanx for clearing that up for me and the tip. I appreciate any and all info, especially these little things. :thumbsup:

Thanx a lot for your contribution Missy, I've read some of what you have put up either here or at the other place, and I remember now that you've mentioned the difference between the IP's before and I had forgotten all about it until you responded here. As far as my IP I hope it'll hold up...

Well thanx everybody for the imput, I know that the IP's made for both engines are the weak link. I've done quite a bit of reading on here already(when I've got some time) but this project will come about whenever or if ever the parts drop on my lap for the right price. I really like the fact...

I'm in bit of a rush today but if I don't do this now I'll forget. My question's can I make a IP from a 6.2L work for my 6.5L? I want to change it over from Electronic to Mech. I just shelled out a few hundred buck's for a D-tech pmd (came with one yr. warranty even though I installed...

Around here the diesel 1/2 ton's still sell for between 8-9000. I payed 8 for my Tahoe, with the lift kit and tyres already.

Only 137,000 miles, An old couple must have owned it, looks to be garaged. As far as the body goes mine looks that good and there's plenty of salt spread around in winter where I picked mine up at and there isn't any rust on the body, just a little surface rust on the frame, and mine was...

I've come to the conclusion that F^%D's just noise makers, that get 6.5 miles/ imperial gallon. Got 3 of them one for each service rig to pull the dog house and like I said before, 4lo in first gear, and they really struggle to get moving. It's like the kids toy whistle is mounted in the...

I'm pretty sure every F**D diesel has one of those installed, they make a lot of noise but can't pull the 2000# doghouse (auto tranny) for the rig. Sorry I'm wrong, it will move the dog house in 4LO and in first gear (just barely).

No pic for this problem, it's gotta be the CDR. GM4 is what's on the Tahoe right now, but I've found a few other things that were not original (rear end is from a light truck 10bolt), found this out when I went to replace the brake pads and they wouldn't fit. I've been told diesel's and Z71's...
