JJ, you CAN use the 4500HD with the 6.5. BUT....there are a couple of things you'll want to do first. #1 - You need to replace the input shaft with one that is compatible with the GM. The HD version is longer and larger in diameter, IIRC. #2 - You'll need to change the bellhousing. #3 -...

Keep in mind that in order for the fusible link to function properly, it should be 4 gauges smaller than rest of the circuit. This means that if your circuit is 10 gauge, your fusible link should be 14 gauge, for example. Here is a link where you can buy fusible link wire...

Ah, Tim, you're too kind. I'll PM you my address for the stocking stuffer. :D

Here is the thread on it. IMO it is worth the money. It's more efficient than the GM series turbo, plus it's non-wastegated so there's really no chance of over boost. http://www.dieseltowingresource.com/showthread.php?t=2015

what size of tire are you running? That would make a difference. Too small and you're not going as far per RPM. Too big and you're using more fuel to go the same distance. My rig is off on the speedo and the odo. It's got 245's on it right now. The VSSB is set for 265's. I am trying to...

why a GM-8 and not an ATT?

J- The most common and arguably best location for the PMD is directly behind the front bumper. Anywhere outside of the engine compartment (and interior of the truck for that matter) is good. You should be able to use the same heatsink, just mount it in the location mentioned. You'll want to...

So THAT'S what my rig looked like when it was new...except for the interior. I'd buy it just for the damned interior. Actually, I'd buy it, then swap the motor and interior over into my rig.

Hey, you should put some pics of your Goldwing in your album. I'm a big Goldwing fan.

Do the heads really weight 90# each? I would have guessed closer to 50#. Even still, I was able to do it without much difficulty. Slow and easy wins the race. X2 on chasing the threads. I forgot about that. Definitely a good idea.

Head gasket job isn't really that hard, all things considered. Passenger side is a lot more involved than drivers side, though, due to the turbo. Passenger side will be a lot easier if you pull the inner wheel well. That opens everything up for you. Remove the accessories on the front of the...

Damn I'd love an ATT. But what little coin I had is about to get smaller, since I'm prolly about to start paying alimony and child support. :(

Good luck with it, Dur0maxx. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that while they are great trannies, I have heard that they can be very expensive to maintain and repair. But I totally understand the allure. I want to swap my NV4500 for a ZF6. Or one day down the road do a fully D-max/Ally...

I, for one, am sold on the ATT. Just wish the bank account felt the same way. :cryin:

94k30, could you post some pics of your setup? I am interested in looking at it. Thanks.

Good call. Looking forward to the pics.

Primer...I am seeing an overwhelming lack of pics in your album. *tsk tsk* ;) ETA: Or should it be underwhelming? I wonder...

Looks like he is using the factory intake host. He just has the CDR intake connection plugged and it appears his CDR is vented to atmosphere. As for the A-team turbo...tis a thing of beauty. I got a bit teary eyed just looking at it. *sniff*

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the ideal placement for the EGT PRE turbo?
