She is home!

Well I finally entered the 6.2 world last night! Thanks to Craigslist I found a local guy who bought a Lot (not a lot) of military surplus engines and had one for sale as extra. Very nice man who has a CUVV truck with a 6.2 and an International Scout 6.2 conversion project in the works...

Added info, the Duraterm is a Bosch product PN 80034. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=501147&cc=1355183 I agree 100% on the electrical grease!

THIS! Unbelievable! I was shocked and saddened. I know OT, but still had to Amen on Tim's thoughts. :)

I use Stanadyne Fuel treatment every few tanks in the summer and every tank in the winter. ... Not sure if it does much, but it cannot hurt.

LOL, I guess that gets little bit closer to nowhere then on an OBD-II HX tune. Granted I still think the HX and ATT tunes would be fine for interchangibility. Both breathe so much better than the GM-8, with the right other mods of course like exhaust, crossover, and intake. My only...

Tim writ: Is there actually a specific tune for the HX? Sorry if I missed that tid bit. I know ATT has a specific tune. Right now I run the Heath GL4 tune and know that there is more potential in the tune for the HX. Honestly I was just thinking about getting the ATT tune which would be...

Excellent, thanks guys! I'll keep you all posted when I get this stuff ordered and installed.

Hey, it is starting to get cold here! Where is the official 2012 Glow Plug thread? My oooolllldddd G60s are about shot. What are the best glow plugs to buy these days? G60s or Duratherms? Also do you all normally replace the wiring and/or glow plug relay at the same time? I would...

LOL I like that reference! FWIW it is a good idea to clean that gap in between the radiators every spring. Keeps temps in check. ... I purchased a new fan clutch this spring and I have yet to hear the fan engage since the coolant has not broken the 200F mark!

x3 Bruce can get you setup for the HX40 setup if you choose that route, and is what I am running. Slim is your man for the ATT if you choose that route. Either way you are waaaay better off than the stock GM-X!!!

Good to know! ... Perhaps I am missing something here, but it seems that you have semi-contradicted yourself in logic. Why do you think 30 GPH is too little? How much volume is the Walbro pump pushing? How much fuel gets bypassed back to the tank? I'm not trying to be smart, but I...

Just to be clear on this statement, the HX40 will not hit the wastegate until 20 PSI in stock format. Again around town non-towing the HX40 has been great for me. I agree that it is more "custom" work to install than a ATT, ATT clear winner for install. I just like the early boost that the...

The HX40 is a great daily driver turbo. Better response and much improved Pyro temps, lower boost at cruise speeds, and better MPG. Sounds like you already have the basic mods to make a turbo upgrade worth it! I would really be hard pressed to go back to a GM-X turbo :(

Thanks for sharing and compiling all this great information! I can't wait to see what happens in the quest for HP!

I did it. It is pretty easy to do, but you need the right parts. On the long HX40 thread I have all parts and costs listed out in detail. The wastegate actuator "pot" does rub the airbox, but not a huge deal IMO.

Nice pics Bruce! Definitely a nice area to drive around. Sounds like Brutus did a good job! I haven't taken the opportunity to camp on the Blue Ridge though... Hmmm

Wow. I appreciate the deeper insight although fluid dynamics is not my strong suit. lol I cannot explain why, but my HX40II does just fine at 20PSI on my Burb with 200K. Cooler temps and less boost at cruise than the GM-X. The feels much less stressed while doing its day to day. The...

Excellent! Glad that this wasn't a death blow to the engine. I agree great timing in looking at your oil PSI to notice it drop!

Nice job. FWIW with mine 4x4 with 3.73 I can get over 20 on road trips (no a/c though) if I can keep it under 65ish. Once speed picks up the wind resistance is too much. I have 235/85 tires which help.
