    lesson learned

    Well after ordering the part from the dealer I just got it put on. In the driveway of course raining like crazy. Let me tell you what a PITA. I think something that is important for keeping the starter from chewing itself up would be a little easier to get on. Well it's on now so I'm good to...

    I'm pretty sure it was there this morning. Ususally these guys are very good I seriously doubt they did it on purpose unfortunately they aren't open until Monday which means my truck is down or I go to the dealer and grab one.

    Well I bring it home supposedly all fixed up. So I like to check because I am obsessive and I don't think people really give a sh#t. What do I find the bracket that attaches the motor to the vehicle is not installed. Now I need to go back and get it done right or call the dealer in the morning...

    Well my starter quit yesterday. I called the parts store got an AC delco replacement. I had to remove the old one this morning in the legion parking lot where it died. Taking the starter was really easy simply because the PO had not installed the bracket bolt. This caused one of the starter...

    Here's my plan

    Yeah it's always been pretty disappointing towing on any grade my EGT and ECT go high quickly. I'm only getting about 7psi max out of my GM-4 turbo I have the 4" DE exhaust with the S&B intake to open it up. I'm pretty sure fan clutch is toast tried to mod and it still won't kick in at all. I...

    Here's my plan

    Yeah it was a Haynes manual. I was thinking of going with studs but I've never used them before. Where are people buying them? Do any of the local vendors have them I know Heath sells them.

    Here's my plan

    I've been doing some reading and if I go all the way for HG replacement I must remove the IP. I guess the electronic pump needs to be re-aligned with a specific tool for installation and then tdc needs to be reset. Is this difficult to do w/o the tool. I have GMCTD Scan tech so as long as I...

    Here's my plan

    I have the glow plugs and injectors I need the injectors pop-tested and I'm going to get a new gp harness while I'm at it. I'm not sure of the Km on the injectors the truck has 260k Km it was a work truck and the maintenance looks to pretty well done. As for the HB I was thinking of going with a...

    Here's my plan

    I would go with Heath but he ships UPS. UPS charges obscene brokerage fees when shipping to Canada as high as 20% of the purchase price. That means what I will be saving I could get a fluidampr for my truck.

    hesitates under heavy load

    I have noticed something new, under heavy acceleration above 2200 rpm the engine seems to be missing. It only does it if I step on the pedal hard otherwise all is normal. I have GMTDScanTech, but I haven't looked for codes yet I guess I will do that first. Just wondering if anyone out there has...

    What type of air intake(s) do you run.

    S&B with the cleanable filter works well but I've had it for one week.

    New AirBox

    So far the new filter and magnaflow muffler have made my truck nicer to drive I wouldn't say there isn't difference in power but it drives smoother and a little quieter. I'm just wondering where to go next . I also want to do a cooling mod. I guess I'll have too budget my projects.It's quite...

    New AirBox

    It is a bit pricey but the picture pretty much sells it for me.

    New AirBox

    I grabbed the cleanable oiled version shipping was free, but of course UPS dinged me 20% damn. I'm pretty sure it's the same oil procedure as K&N I have the recharge kit for my other vehicles. The magnaflow muffler is stainless I got that in this morning. I may have to consider a resonator the...

    anyone use the "Rear Head Cooling System Kit"...........

    I asked Heath about the his cooling setups. He said if you have the single t-stat you should leave it that way and go with his HO setup. I know he sells both single and dual setups. I agree that the engineers changed it for the reason of low coolant flow. There is a maxxtorque article that shows...

    New AirBox

    It looks bigger but I'm not too sure about actual dimensions. The install was easy and all parts seem to be good quality. They claim to be made in the U.S. The price was higher than I wanted to go, but I like the look of it. I was having no luck getting my hands on a K47.
