Ok I forgot yesterday was Father's Day, and it was my first as a father so I was kinda busy.. Anyways, to the guy that said he feels sorry for me, don't. I'm satisfied, it is much better than stock. Right now I'm just getting fuel at the wrong time and not enough where I need it, and the reason...

I'm hoping it's the tune. If I blew a boot off and that's the noise I heard last night, would I still measure boost? Getting over 10 wot. But man it just feels kinda sluggish. Instead of downshifting when I floor it, it just kinds lugs through the gear. I'm used to fast revving v8 power and now...

Thanks man. But where there's good there's bad... I think (hope) it's my gl4 but my egt's are through the ROOF! I looked down at my gauge and they were pushing 1250-1300 :wtf: I think I'm gonna put my stock chip back in just to be safe and call joe tomorrow for a retune. My coolant temp isn't...

Alright, it's 12:19 here and she is on! No exhaust leaks, no oil leaks, 10psi not even trying. I think i did a good job, and it only took me 15hr total. Coulda did it way faster looking back, but that included 3 trips to napa for stupid little things and im not the best mechanic in the world...

nevermind i found the instructions in another thread. Slim, gettin the turbo off is easy with redneck superpowers :hihi: i just cut the nuts off with a cutting wheel and had to beat two of them off with a chisel lol. i plan on mounting the frc-10 using studs and double nuts. prolly not the best...

Ok guys i've just about got the att on. Been bustin my ass all day lol. One problem. How am i supposed to modify the oil return? I need help ASAP im right in the middle of it. when i get done i will upload all the pictures.

Hey TTS peeps. I just got my frc-10 and ATT in the mail (thanks Burning Oil). Gonna start this evenin when it starts cooling off, heat index has been about 105 with 80-90% humidity for the past 3-4 days (welcome to Louisiana) and my shop doesnt have A/C! This will be the thread I upload pics...

yessir i'm about to go pick it up right now. About 10 miles to my post office, i live in the middle of NOWHERE As for everyone else, thanks for the suggestions i will definitely be checkin grounds. I need functional gauges ya know? lol I will keep yall posted.

Ok I'm gonna check all my grounds when I've got my truck apart. Planned on taking my inner fender and manifold off, cause my turbo is stuck on and I don't feel like messing with it while its on the truck. Is there an instrument cluster ground? Can anyone point me in the direction of which...

Nice dude, red & black is the #%*+ According to some random vin decoder, in 1995, out of ~21,000 k1500 trucks, only ~5500 k1500 ecsb's came with the 6.5, only ~1100 had the red & black 2 tone. Made me feel "unique" lol. I thought somebody had painted mine that way until my vin told me otherwise...

Somebody will surely come along and correct me, but I would think you can just put the 95' IP on the 96' engine and be gravy. If you can't do that, then you would have to swap all the OBD2 stuff into the 95, which would be a PITA. All 6.5's are basically the same though so I don't see why you...

Haha depends on what u got. I paid $3500 for mine a year ago with ~258k interior in perfect shape, only a few minor scratches and the lower left corner of the tailgate is rusting out. Thats all the rust ive found so far. I would have payed more for a modified one in a good body and frame, but it...

Hard to find too.

Hey guys My fuel gauge isn't reading right. When I fill it up it goes wayyyy down past the "F" almost touching the needle of my oil pressure gauge. My "E" is right between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark, had to figure that one out the hard way. When my key is off, my oil pressure gauge is way past...

Sorry guys I'm mistaken. Coulda swore they were in there. Just went and looked and sure enough, they aren't there. Maybe it was the fuel door sticker or something... Sorry about that.

First thing I would do is change all the fluids. Start a fresh maintenance record. Next check the filters. While you have the intake loose, check the turbo inlet for oil residue. If you have alot of oil there and in the tube that goes from the intake to the passenger side valve cover, replace...

Thanks a million man. You really hooked me up. You have parts ain't nobody else got, without the ridiculous price tag that usually follows a sentence like that. Lookin forward to gettin my hands busted up and stained black, and all the joy that comes when you can sit back relax pop a top on a...

I believe it's either 100.5" or 99.5" I have read both, don't quote me but I think you can get away with either. The belt tensioner should handle the +/- 1" Goodyear p/n GTR-4060995 It's 99.5"

Peninsular diesel sells brand new Bosch injectors for ~$60 a piece, not sure if they are pop-tested. Got my set of Bosch remans from Kennedy for $550 pop-tested @ 2250 I believe. Last time I looked at rockauto they had a few on there. Good prices too. Shop around. Can't go wrong with ac delco...

Here's a pic of the difference between the old, leaking SSD "marine" Injectors and the new (well, a damn good reman) Kennedy Bosch high pop injectors. The SSD had no markings whatsoever and were black, which leads me to believe they were made from black iron, experience in the oil field has...
