great idea on letting the engine run to blow the shavings back. how hard is the exhaust to drill? I bought a good drill bit that says it's for cast iron and harder metals. What exactly does transmission learning mean? Do I have to do anything? I wasn't planning on switching it around a lot, I...

got it working. jumped the egt probe wires and plugged the other end in, also added the speed loader, so I guess now I need to drill and tap that manifold. no way am I taking it off to do it, either. I'm from New England where exhaust manifolds don't come out, they break. Just rusty and old...

found something in a Cummins forum that said pretty much the same thing, if you dont hook up the speed loader thermocouple, you need to use a jumper wire. One guy said to take the two wires off the probe and hook them together, effectively jumping it. Nowhere in my manual does it say you cant...

Ok I'll trY that first. I was wasn't really looking for huge gains, I want to ease into this slowly without destroying the weak link Allison, but I'd at least expect some improvement

and it doesnt work. I'm getting all kinds of codes from the little LED diagnostics lights, mostly relating to connections of the main harness. I went over all the connections repeatedly, can't find anything wrong. It came off an 01 LB7, and it came with a Speed Loader. I installed it without the...

well, exhaust is on hold until I figure out why the six-gun doesnt work. So happy I spent most of the day installing it so I could get nothing out of it except a SES light. $*%&*%&@@*##

Need some advice, I just got a nice used low-mileage 02 LB7. Picking up a six-gun and gauges tomorrow, want to do something with the exhaust too. Was thinking I'd either go with a 4" MBRP or DiamondEye, or just a muffler delete. I've listened to a lot of video clips but coming through a little...

Well, I replaced the factory junk rear bumper, washed and waxed and polished and took out some scratches and touched up a couple spots, got her looking real pretty. Put a couple hundred miles on it this weekend and all I can say is wow, what an amazing truck. It rides like a dream, yet you still...

wow thats a ton of info, I've gotta save this for future reference. Tried a couple more pics but didnt work

this is what she's replacing. I will miss the sheer badassness, and the lift, and the thunder of the exhaust...won't likely miss the almost-non-existent mpgs. That's the 11kgvwr camper the D-max is going to have to pull. I don't anticipate any problems.

attempting (again) pic. Dark Toreador with tan leather.

Was a regular in the 6.5 section for years, built up a lifted 97 K3500 dually with A-Team turbo, kojo tune, etc. finally sold it and been playing with an 82 K30 454 for the last few years. Wifes been prodding me to upgrade to a newer, more reliable truck for quite some time. In fact last year...

Crossover steering seems a bit elaborate, it's just a near-stock daily driver. I should have gone with the dropped pitman arm, but I figured if they make and sell these parts, and a million people are using them with 44 inch tires, I should be ok. I can see where there is a torsional load on...

it's a kingpin Dana 60. On the driver side at the top of the knuckle, there are four studs sticking up, that the steering arm bolts onto. To correct the steering, one way is to unbolt the arm, replace the studs with longer ones, put a block in the middle then re-attach the steering arm on top of...

Within the last year I put in a steering lift block to compensate for the 6 inch lift. After I bought it somebody told me it was not the ideal way to correct it, and that the blocks are known for loosening up. I've checked it once or twice and found all the nuts on the new studs were still...

Nick, it probably is the same truck. The non-factory looking two tone also made me suspect it was hiding body work. It's back on Boston Craigslist, apparently he got the injector pump in because he now wants $5000 and no mention of the IP.

holy cow. my 3500 dually didn't like towing 10k, at least until I put the ATT on it.

well, the truck was a 98 4wd ex-cab. I dont know about the braking, I just know I couldn't pull my camper with it. Another thing Ithought of is S programing vs F. My mechanic friend who has worked on some 6.5s told me he though it was way too high also. Anyway, ads have all disappeared from...

Craigslist ad for a 6.5 truck. Naturally I'm curious if it might be the PMD, commonly misdiagnosed as needing an IP. Call him up to find out, guy says nope, somebody pulled the injector pump, never finished putting it back, now he's stuck with the truck and wants it gone. Good news is the truck...

Now you're talking! I would love the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel!. Heck I might even break my own rule and put stacks on it so I can listen to it. That's where I got my nickname from, I used to drive a 6-71, the guys in the shop always heard me coming and going. If I win the lottery...
