GM Guy has the best no-cost involved advice. I have a 94 K2500 vin F, auto tranny, 4.10 gears, 265/75/16 Toyo M55 tires, Holset HX35W turbo, 4" exhaust, stock tune, and cab height canopy. The best I've ever been able to get is 15.5 MPG. That was with summer diesel and all highway miles. Once on...

Please do a thread on that project as I'm very interested in how you go about that. Don

The 12 HP is what was listed in the book that came with the tractor. I don't know if that was an optimistic number or not. Don

A 1949 Farmall Cub is what I learned on. Four cylinders and a whole 12 HP, and a maximum of 12 MPH if my memory is working. I learned a lot on that Cub. Don

I've never heard some of those German brand names, but my life work was in wood. Rockwell, Porter Cable, Milwaukee, etc WERE the big names at that time in woodworking tools. If I had the money to do so I always spent more for top quality. I'm on my second Milwaukee non-compound chop saw now. The...

I'm going to say International tractor with a 50's era International pickup cab. Don

Thank you for the pics of the rocker/bolt mod. I've read about that several times in the past three or so years but could never get a picture in my head of how that worked. NOW I understand. The rocker actually slides back and forth along the washer. And the washer keeps the rocker located on...

I'm interested in how things work for you once the weather conditions allow you give it a true test. I like how the system sounds in the video, but the true test is on the road. I installed a DE system, with their muffler, a couple years ago. My only dislike for the DE is the sound/volume of...

Sorry for the delayed reply, been tied up with no chance to go online. If all you need is the cat it is yours for shipping. I don't need the cat, and as far as I know it is still clear. I was not having any problems with it when I went the DE route. Redding to Albany is a LONG ways, and several...

Big T, I've got my complete stock exhaust, still in good shape, I think (been setting outside), from when I put the DE system in. If nobody else closer to you comes up with what you need I'm offering the use of any part of my system you may need. I'm thinking the down pipe on back to just behind...

POR 15 has been used a lot on old Toyota Landcruiser repairs/restorations (go to ih8mud[dot]com for more info). It works best on used, rusty metal, not new metal. The loose, flaky rust needs to be cleaned off so that what is left is just the rusty surface. The POR 15 goes on over this...

Is your truck a SRW? 4.10 gears? Tire size 265/75/16? I have a 94 K2500, 4.10 gears, with 265/75/16 tires. At 2000 RPM I'm doing 60 MPH. Has the alternator ever been changed? If so, you likely ended up with a gasser pulley on the alt. The diesel pulley should be 2 9/16" diameter across the...

If you can come up with about $100 use a Tiny Tach. I've had one for about three years now and love it. No more worries about having the correct size pulley on my alternator. They use a transducer clamped to an injector line and read injection pulses, and have a digital readout. For the 6.2/6.5...

Similar. The wastegate is controlled by boost pressure. I don't know what that pressure is though. I occasionally tow a 24 ft travel trailer and have never seen the boost gauge hit 15 lbs, although it will it will go just over 14 once in a while.. Don

Ever since I first learned about the quick spool valve, and did some reading about it, I've been very interested in them. That price point is much better than the others I've looked up. Enough so that it will make it easier for me to eventually afford one. Thank you. Don

I put an HX35W on my 6.5. If my memory serves me correctly the turbo came off a 2000 Cummins, and the wastegate control looks just like the one the OP has. I ended up making a new bracket to hold the stock Holset pot, and mounting it from two of the bolts that hold the hot side housing to the...

This is very interesting! Do you have a projected price point? It may have already been stated, I just don't remember. Don

Love your sayings!! By the way, I don't even have to sleep to forget what I should be able to remember. Uhh, what did I just say? I don't remember where I was going with this post. I've always used the e-brake and have never had any problems with it. We do have some hills around here, but not...

On my 94 I did find one fuse, in the cab, under the dash, buried in the wire loom just above the convenience center (between the E-brake and the steering column). But it is for the power windows if my memory is working. Don

I had somebody tell me that they used the handle from their floor jack for a cheater. Mine comes off real easy, so I tried it and have continued to use that handle because it works so well. It might have been War Wagon that gave me that idea. Don
