    Why you NEED an GOOD temp gauge

    My 94 was reading 160 with a 180 Tstat and holding steady under light load. I went to Autozone, CarQuest and NAPA, measured the resistance at room temp on all the different senders that they had. Lots of variation. BTW, it is called a "switch" not a sender--has one pin not two, mounted to...

    Engine Specs

    FYI, here is a HP/torque chart that I got from SS Diesel's web site. Also--in planning mods I am told by SS that their chip, marine injectors, 4" exhaust and #9 get you to 300+ HP, and, they say, without changing the turbo or over stressing the engine. Major caution--have the gauges and NEVER...

    Quit---no start for a while then start but quit again, and again---

    Lift pump runs with glow plugs and I could hear it. When it re-started it ran perfectly until it just died like the key was turned off. It did throw a code 19 when CPS was unplugged but not earlier. Optical threw a code 54 when disconnected. I don't know what the ECM actually looks at to...

    Quit---no start for a while then start but quit again, and again---

    My sig truck has been running great--til Saturday morning. Fired up fine, about the time the temp gauge came off the bottom it quit cold. No restart. Sat for about 10 minutes and started right up--repeat every 10 minutes or so. I thought OH-OH, PMD. Got it home did some quick checks. NO...

    Replacing just injector nozzles???

    Thanks Pruit, kinda what I told him, I think he is being cheap--I had mine rebuilt with new nozzles and balanced. I wanted to hear from someone else.

    Replacing just injector nozzles???

    Friend right down the street has a 95 EX cab 6.5 F Turbo truck. He, and I, would like to know the success rate of just installing new nozzles on an existing set of injectors on a DIY basis.

    GM RPO Code Master List

    It is a PDF, click and open, it will down load to you, then just go to 'file', 'save as', pick a place and OK. No need to change file type or name. At least it should, I just did it to check.

    Pondering my brake upgrade options?

    I have an '05 Mini Cooper S that I rally with--came with Cooper Works brakes made by Centrix, I changed them to Brembo due to fade. In '06 factory did the same. Not the same use as the truck tho, unless you are doing Nationwide or ?? Reality check!!! I use Raybestos semi metallic pads and...

    G80 Gov locker info

    Four pints Penzoil, 80-140 API GL-5 plus 4 oz LS additive then premixed and filled on level ground. I found a one gallon pesticide pressure jug at a yard sale for 50 cents and used that to fill with, just cut the nozzle off the end of the wand--I warmed it up some, but it works great on ATF or...

    G80 Gov locker info

    Jorge, That's what they said. Apparrently Eaton changed the clutches and Dana changed the seals. Mine acted like it had synthetic in it, at least according to their statements. I do know that after I pulled the cover, cleaned it out and put straight mineral oil in it that it now acts right...

    Anybody got a 2 5/8" alternator snake belt pully

    Only problem is that I may have to torque up the drivers side cause of the weight of that pulley!! Must weigh 3-4 pounds. Oh well, at least the tensioner is back in the middle now.

    Anybody got a 2 5/8" alternator snake belt pully

    I think of it as " sometimers", sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't. My daughter thinks of it a "youngzymers", she goes out to the back yard yelling names until the right one turns around. BTW, a local electric shop had the right pulley, one of those aftermarket machined ones, he...

    VSSB calibration

    Thanks for the added info Richard, I found that my speedo was low by one position on the chart. Flipped the switches and now it reads the same as my GPS. Tires are original size with 3/4 tread and spec pressure so I figure it was right with brand new tires. Now it will be a bit low on new...

    Gauges don't read right--hope it's the right place for this

    Volt meter issue was solved by cleaning grounds and +12 connections, Temp gauge was solved with a new sensor, Oil pressure gauge was checked with a TEE and known good mechanical, reading low. OPS was replaced with the HD version, (better switch contacts, they say), now reads the same as...

    Bunny hop in 4WD??

    I figured that out and posted a writeup from Eaton in the driveline section. I pulled the cover and cleaned it all out, replaced the fluid and it fixed the problem. My info is that in 1998 they changed the seals and clutches and switched to synthetic.

    A/C Compressor does not kick in

    Both show the relay first then the pressure switches in series to the compressor clutch, just different wiring colors and the voltage source. He said the relay energized but jumping the low pressure switch did not do it, that leaves the hi pressure switch and the clutch. Was thinking that he...

    Pondering my brake upgrade options?

    Virtually all pads in today's world have ceramic in them, just different amounts. Then the manufacurer may call it ceramic at their own discretion, some say it with less ceramic by percentage than others. I agree with Ferm, Raybestos HD, semi-metallic. I always pre-apply brakes prior to...
