    Semi-retired from GE in 2021 and still have my (2) 6.5s, just didn't have much time to do anything on Diesel forums, I got tired of "kids" arguing my methods were "old fashioned", the "new guys' that sell performance crap the average guy does not need know more than I did ...OK whatever, time to...

    Front frame section rust repair ten

    Temporary in that I'll eventually be going full frame up resto of the truck after I retire next fall, the extra metal added to driver side put a bit of a tweak in the geometry for tension of the sway bar, and driver side slightly higher than passenger side now. Truck is usable now without that...

    Lift pump.

    Any plans to put some "protective armor" around those filters? it could get interesting during off road operation, and even highway ops should one of those "rubber alligator skins" fly up into the filters.

    What oil do you recommend?

    When I was USN we had dedicated centrifuges for just that very reason, for MRG main reduction gear oil, CPP oil for propeller system, and we even spun dirty fuel into clean fuel for the turbines to make the ship go all way down to 2.64 mg/L maximum solid and <.01 PPM water in fuel. Wish I could...

    What oil do you recommend?

    Good info folks, I've used Oil analyzers mostly, and Blackstone on occasion, I run either Amsoil filters or Baldwin, case priced Baldwin have done very well for me ( I'm almost out of the last case of filters bought 10 years ago). I have one of the earlier Amsoil dual filter remote kits with...

    What oil do you recommend?

    What do lab reports via sampling say as far as intervals for oil changes, I'm not a proponent of arbitrary oil changes by mileage based on ??? I prefer intervals as indicated on lab results of how I operate the engine, based on my lab tests I change my Amsoil synthetics at 25-30K when additive...

    Smoking pmd

    The misconception is with # X resistor you will get X-mm fuel increase or decrease in delivery...Yes and No...this is a calibration resistor wherein on a test stand when IP is built new or rebuilt the total volume of fuel delivered at fixed rpm = 80cc/3 at 3000 rpm (I think....I'll have to refer...

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Dennis was tuning for OBD-1 with manual trans as that is what he had, he has a program he has yet to send me to try he says is much improved from what was out there before when paired with ATT, is getting close to retiring from day job as well, I might have to fly him down to MS from MI and we...

    Hello again it's been a while

    Thanks my good friend and to the rest of you wishing me well, I've missed my 6.5 therapy group..."Hello my name is Tim I have been addicted to 6.5 Diesel sounds since 2000, it is an affliction, possibly no cure on the horizon, but I take it one day at a time"

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Agree can only take the platform so far if you want to keep it together, can get more but at what cost and price to still be limited to output where more robust DI engines begin . Hell it is not fair you can plug in a tune and get 100HP+ but I like telling/demonstrating to folks it is more...

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Yup and folks that don't follow a systematic engineered solution giving ability to harness/sustain the extra power, blow them up; and then bitch how bad the platform is.

    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    Sad part is someone at Heath products was part of the demise, I sent them the TDO7-22 I started with upon Dennis recommendations, TD07 was the Genesis of the ATT, they sat on it for a year supposedly tested it and it didn't work for them, found out via someone that was there saw that it was...
