ah interesting, I didn't think about buildup like that. I'll look at the bottom of the bore tomorrow but I think it's worse at the top. Even with all that blow by you think there could be a slight chance the bores are in stock spec? that would be wild

Stripped down the original engine that was in the dump truck when I purchased it. Every GM 6.5 I've owned has been a carnage candidate so I never paid much attention to the blocks, they self destructed. This had insane blow by when I purchased it and I knew the engine was toast, already had a...

By Northeast coast standards that's not rust and is mint! Literally the springs look new. If that's the worst of it I'd say its in great shape at least frame wise I have a buddy with a bone stock LBZ that is pushing 350k and running like a top. Trans was rebuilt by him a few winters ago. If you...

here's one that's a little more pricey but is available on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/153204617607 If you go on thermal zero's website there's universal blankets that may fit. Or call them and see what they recommend, thermal zero seems to be a well regarded supplier.

well it seems that these happy sweatshop folks will make you a turbo blanket for a cool $24...

I have never seen an ATT and can only suggest seeing how it compares size wise to a better known turbo like a holset hx35 or hx40 and see what turbo blankets are sold for those I think the ATT is a mitsubishi turbo. If you can find out what the actual mitsubishi number is finding a turbo...

Another showroom piece 🤘 well done! Since I don't see you opening a school for body work and rust repair anytime soon, do you have any links to articles/ videos on how to do the panel patching and bondo work you seem to have mastered? I've got lots to do on my rigs and have zero idea where to...

I know nothing about duramaxes but 17 degrees is cold for a diesel any way you slice it. I also don't know how to interpret balance rates let alone what "normal" is. I think @RI Chevy Silveradoman has a similar year truck, maybe he can offer some firsthand experience Is the truck running fine...

got a link/ part # for the tool?

@Custom Deluxe what do you mean by snap gauge style? I've seen the adjustable pushrods for finding length that just screw/ unscrew for adjustment that are then measured with calipers. How does the stock length compare to what you've measured for using with the Harland rockers? Are you using the...

I think I saw @Twisted Steel Performance mention that 0.050" is the preload for measuring length but hopefully he chimes in to clarify. How are you measuring the pushrod length, just a simple ruler/ tape measure or ? If you're willing to share some info/ pics I've always been curious as to how...

Banks sidewinder manifold https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/banks-6-2-sidewinder-manifold-upgrade.51438/ Engine went in the truck today. Now to wait til spring as 5-8 inches of snow forecast before the weekend. what I wouldn't give for flat and covered ground to work on...

Downpipe adapter that bolts to the stock downpipe and turbine size of a HX35 on the stock manifold. Bought new from Quadstar 2 years ago, barely 10 miles on it. No longer using stock manifolds so no use for it. $100 plus the ride. Includes mounting hardware

If his engine is a '93 there's no vacuum pump or wastegate solenoid, just a spring actuated mechanical wastegate

@Goose57 sorry for the late reply, been out of town and offline I haven't had any time to run the truck with the front mount intercooler (long story involving a bad IP that I won't get into here) but given that my power goals require having an intercooler I have no doubt I'll be happy with the...

This is the kit I bought, can't find a delco one that also includes the door lock cylinders...

I bought the software through Leroy a while back, check and see if you can get it through him. Engh motors sends a passcode that may be marked as spam so keep an eye out for it if you buy through Leroy. I can dig through my email and see if I can find the old code, you can try using it as I have...

some positive news- the key I was using was a copy, I'd lost the original. But discovered the wrong blank was used. Just had another copy made with the correct blank and the key goes in! But everything is still locked up. I did get a new tumbler and key & lock cylinder set but was really...

No luck getting anything to cooperate. I'm a bit confused as I posted the same question over on the 'Page and someone replied that the lock position is the only position where you're able to get the key out. I think I remember this being the case. I had to push down on the lock release lever...

Thanks for the replies So you're saying try to turn just the ignition lock tab to the unlock position while trying to break the wheel free? On most old GM vehicles I've owned the key/ ignition gets to worn that you can pull the key out with it running. Must be how this got stuck in the lock...
