Thank you thank you!!

With the filter removed, you should see the screen which is molded into a plastic retainer. It slides over the riser pipe sticking up in the center of the fuel manager. The plastic starts out white, but may be more of a shade of brown after a bunch of time/miles. When properly installed the...

Does anyone know what belt length is required for the following 6.5L arrangements? 1. 1995, obd1, single alternator, a/c, vacuum pump deleted 2. 1996, obd2, dual alternator, a/c, vacuum pump deleted

Before installing a new fuel filter... I turn it upside down so you can see the various slot widths just inside the seal ring. Find the widest slot, then use a permanent marker to draw lines on the outside marking the edges of this wide slot. The wide slot matches the doink at the front...

When calculating the compression ration of an IDI, do they add the volume of the pre-combustion chamber to the clearance volume? If not, it would take a higher published compression ratio to get the same effective compression ratio for an IDI. Either way, you can't forget that the IDI has more...

Has anyone ever measured air filter restriction? I wish I could recall the actual values we measured a long time ago. A guy tried to sell me a different filter for my stock flat filtered '95. I challenged him to prove I had a restriction problem. So we put a gauge on, hooked on a trailer and...

Curious what you use to keep the stuff in the door pouch? I would think the stuff would find a way out in a rolloever. I don't carry a pocket knife, but each sled and the drivers door pouch of our rigs each contain one Leatherman or a close facimile thereof.

Ahh! It is good! Santa brings a man a turbo for Christmas and the world just seems to be a better place! Since we have so much wisdom here... perhaps you could all check me on another suspicion I have. Bear with me while I ramble a bit. SmithvilleD touched on the theory vs. actual and...

Wow. I guess I got here by accident. I was looking for a fuel economy parts, mostly of the bolt on kind. When my project (6.5L Suburban fuel economy experiment) got to the turbo and the desire to omit the vac pump and all that jazz, I asked Kennedy what options were out there. He hooked me...

First off, having those random pictures at the top of the page can be addicting. I was having similar thoughts as you all are chatting about. Then about two weeks ago, this photo of member "chevylover" with the Marinco plug popped up...

I always wear seat belts, always have! I don't allow any human projectiles to ride with me either. Tools, hitch bars, heavy stuff like that don't get to ride with me in the cabin either. However, I don't believe seat belts or helmets should be required by law.

Since we're all talking noise levels... Lets just suppose you had a stock crossover pipe, KD's 3" dia. downpipe/3.5" dia. tailpipe & straight thru muffler, and you had a '93 so you found and gutted a cat to 3.5" dia. and put the cross holes in the pipe inside the cat can. This has a very...

I hope Santa can get you an A-Team Turbo in time for Christmas. He may not have time to wrap it... may have to stuff it your stocking... better put up your stockings with some real nails this year. I have had two of these turbos for some time now, feel like I'm kindof a turbo pig or...

Truck in my sig has 314,000 miles. Injection pump has 177,000 miles. Engine has 82,000 miles. Tranny, transfer case, front and rear diffs are original (diffs have taken shaft seals and outboard bearings). One of these days, I may just have to put up a photo, you would never guess the miles...

Married 5 years in May. One boy will be 3 in Feb and one girl will be 1 this Christmas. Moderator will have to update the count though, I happy clicked the 20+ rather than the 1-5. I guess that's how excited I am about my wife and family!!!

I'm probably on the side that would say that's a d'max not a 6.5L. I agree with the fella from "way up north" with the IDI comment. However, if you could use a 6.5L head, but install and machine a solid precup that allowed one to convert to a DI injector someway somehow... maybe then you...

Oh yeah... An IDI would require more radiator than DI for the same Hp.

Someone earlier stated that brass & copper was better than aluminum? I believe the coefficient of heat transfer for aluminum to air is considerably better than the other choices. A typical late model aluminum radiator could have serrated fins which give it a bunch of surface area and air...

Oh yeah, more thoughts Well, one could say that another way... DI engines have inherent limitations. Our '02 Jetta TDI and my brothers D'Max are both DI and they act the same as my '95 T-Cup IDI, in that they all don't like to make heat out of a tiny bit of fuel when it is sub-zero (i.e...

I'm in, got three rigs, one needs it for sure. Thanks!!!!!
