Is the forged crank a new option that’s just happened recently?If so that’s certainly great news.

Yeah it’s a far cry from a P400.Heck where’s the bedplate?…lol

Hey everyone.A couple days ago I finished up the fuel system upgrade on my 96 gmc.I know WILL suggested I put the regulator as close to the fuel pump as possible although I liked the idea of monitoring the mechanical fuel pressure gauge under the hood and make adjustments to the regulator as...

The driver side glass is now ready to go back into place on my 96 gmc truck.The dorman replacement track is all bonded in place.I was going to attempt to get the old piece off but didn’t want to risk breaking the glass so I had the glass shop do it.A new glass was over $400 when I asked about it...

Thanks Will👍

I had a look today to determine where to put the fuel pressure regulator and I think at this point I’m going to mount it on the firewall just above the transmission dipstick area. At least it’ll be in a decent place and out of harms way.I’ll have to make a basic custom bracket from some steel...

This is how the setup looks once it’s mounted to the chassis.I was thinking of mounting the regulator on the chassis next to the fuel pump or do you guys think it would be better in the engine compartment in regard to the regulator? The bracket worked out great from Amazon.Its the 50mm version...

I like to spray down those areas with pb blaster as the arm can seize on the pivot point where the small pin passes through the housing.

I had a 599 engine that ran great at one time but the outer bolt hole was repaired by welding and whoever repaired it did a very nice job on it.I sold that engine for $400 to a guy and some time later the crank broke off in it because the webs let go I’m thinking.I didn’t pull the pan to check...

The diesel rx fuel pressure regulator arrived today so I’m pretty happy about that.I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll find time to get under the truck to install the new Sparta 7.3 lift pump and this new regulator.I bought a small mechanical fuel pressure gauge from Amazon that will also thread upon the...

Leroy’s adapter plate and custom starter will definitely be needed if you decide to keep using that engine for a long time to come.

I have one as well but haven’t installed it as of yet.Just bought it as a backup.

I’ve seen a few of the face cams badly worn where the plastic white roller is supposed to rotate upon the cam ramp.The roller is found at the top of the advance arm.Sometimes I’ve noticed the roller jammed and it’s just scuffing the face cam and not rotating upon it like it’s supposed to.I...

Today I spent some time installing the 01 duramax diesel fan blade with 98 hayden fan clutch on my 96 gmc with the 6.2.All went well overall.The duramax unit seems like it’ll do a better job of cooling over the previous 96 fan blade. I bought both items new from rockauto.

Last evening I made an attempt to get the door back together but got into another issue.The old steel guide track decided to let go from the bottom of the glass once I had everything together,so yet again the door needs to be taken apart to get the glass out.I found a replacement piece on Amazon...

Well at least the new latch is put into place.The door is still all apart but at least now it’s functional.I just need to put the new striker bolt on.Napa has one in my area.

Today I’m finally finding time to put a new driver side door latch and striker bolt on my 96 gmc truck.The old latch and striker bolt are worn beyond recognition and the door won’t even stay closed.I’ve had the truck in the garage ever since this problem occurred so hoping today to at least have...

It’s definitely worth a shot.I used to buy half dozen bottles of the comp cams additive every so often but haven’t done so in awhile now. On that particular brm I did the cam replacement on I had to remove the oil pan and get it cleaned it out.You could see traces of metal grit.It ran great...

They are indeed but they need an extreme pressure additive mixed with the oil to prevent cam lobe scuffing.I know they were famous for that problem.After I did the camshaft replacement on the 06 brm I dumped a bottle of comp cams additive along with rotella T6 for the customer but nowadays...

Could be a partially broken wire making contact off and on maybe going through the door into the rubber boot into the cab.I’d definitely check there and have a good look at the wiring.
