Right on! Thanks for all the help guys, this was exactly what I needed! Put my mind to rest. Thanks again!

Reason I asked was because what few small pics I turned up while researching seemed to show larger cooling fins. That, plus there's nothing that says "Hayden" on the actual clutch, nor on the install instructions in the box. Just have a funny feeling, because it's not a stretch to imagine some...

Anybody have an actual Hayden 2886 fan clutch laying on the bench and able to take a few decent pics? Just got one in ordered off fleaBay. It's in a box marked "Hayden Automotive 2886"...but damned if it looks anymore robust than the one I had! The cooling fins are actually a tad SHORTER!

Roger that! I just assumed they would be dealing copies of their original line, since Optimizers were a GEP product. Thanks for the heads up!

Jay, I agree with everything you said. However, I believe long-term durability is to be had hand-in-hand with an increase in performance. Up to a point. The key is starting with a durable foundation...the Optimizer for my preference, and the P400 for those that can justify the cost. Then...

I was not aware such was still to be had from GM. That 3-year warranty is mighty attractive...and I will definitely weigh it as an option...but would rather upgrade to the Optimizer platform. Please don't get me wrong with my comment about your website. To clarify my meaning, a bit of...

I actually found the Twisted Steel website about the same time I found the Truck Stop...waslooking at his reduced CR pistons. Have been mightily impressed while window shopping...but it's just pictures and talk. And then...very pleased to see he's an active member here! Nice! True. But the...

New here to The Truck Stop, but I've been around the block. Military and Mechanical background, love wrenching and building, but out of the game for awhile due to health. Been into oil burners since my first lung-full of diesel fumes in the Marine Corps. Purchased my very own in 2005 from a...

Ok folks, let me tell you what's going on, and bring you up to the minute...in case you hadn't been following my thread in 6.5 performance. (And I'm about to post in Introductions, too, if you care at all for my back-story). Original L65 in my 99 C3500 dually had been a pain in my rear for...

I got SO lucky! I think, anyway. Checked with the bank and they hadn't taken the money yet. Called the company twice trying to cancel the order...first time got put on hold forever, and hung up...second time I said "cancel", and the instant reply was "free shipping", then got put on hold and...

Dang it! And here I thought I was doing good! Shipment is probably on the road by now. But I'll call tomorrow and make sure. Worst case, I'll do what Will L said...or get it done, anyway. Maybe it won't come to that.

Now that is some solid advice right there! Would that I could...had I the facilities. Not sure I trust this "mechanic" I've got to be more than an engine installer. But then, I'm not a very trusting individual to begin with.

I've been ogling his website for this past month as I've considered what to do. Impressive....most impressive! See...now this is why I decided to pipe up and ask for help! A body can read till they're blue in the face, and think they know what's what, but it's all bull pucky without a...

Yes, I understand, and thank you for the reply. What I mean is, what method does GEP use to achieve the 20.5:1 compression? Well...I guess the L65 had 20.5:1, as well, so it's not strictly a GEP innovation. Let me explain what I'm doing, and why I need to know. The L65 in my 99 C3500 gave up...

Anybody have the scoop on how GEP achieved the lower compression ratio on the Optimizers? Modified pistons...rods....or just a thicker head gasket?
