I drilled a hole in the underside of the fuel cap through the first layer of plastic where it always is at the top when I put it back on. Those caps are notorious for the vent feature plugging. I also used a transducer on the same digital readout to tell me boost and vacuum of the engine but...

Absolutely no disagreement there My position on the FTB mod is limited to the value of the mod given that one can get the proper performance out of the engine with a properly performing lift pump, and that I knew a GM dealer would not touch the thing even to do diagnostic scanning if the...

Do not know where or what the 6.5 checklist is. I stick to my original position about the FTB mod - for the money it is not worth it, it is unlawful and could get a person denied repair work at a dealer - if they will even take in a 6.5, and for 1/16 of an inch increase in line the volume will...

I use a pressure transducer at the Schrader valve pressure check point with a digital readout inside. Using a rotary switch it gives pre-filter, at the ip, and transmission line pressure, and a couple other pressures or vacuum I can switch to read up to eight If you put on the "Feed the Beast...

Will I never said I did not finish Engineering Law school comes after as post graduate - in fact I ever said most of what reply to argue about You make lot of mistakes and errors of which you base your flippant and snarky assumptions on. I am not promoting carb laws - I am stating what is...

Above at post 64 should read "Thus it is a functionally identical part and really does NOT need an EO to sell the part or in California" Sorry I left out the word "NOT"

5 psi is still too low. 10 - 12 psi is spec. If you have an OEM Lift Pump, consider this. https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/93-td-hard-cold-start-with-lots-of-smoke.47715/post-564334

I cannot tell what - this post is addressing but I am referring to what a DS4 often will in real world scenarios- and this describes exactly what I have been saying is the result of persitant low inlet IP pressures. I know what it does on the test stand, how hot it gets, and how it delivers...

Will You READ in things not written. What I did at the shop is not written or discussed yet you assume something not said. I have said an IP operates on pressure and not volume so I would never spend time and to do something I know makes no difference when proper pressures can supply proper...

Will . . . I would not continue to dig a public hole like this Not talking about smogging a Diesel . . . talking about what can one be fined for MODIFYING an emission control system vehicle. In California if it is not OEM - or functionally identical it is illegal to do for especially a...

The OP has already done so at => https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/savana-camper-project-ii.47754/ However the OP specifically asked about replacing the fuel lines in his first post "" 1: The plastic fuel lines are too short and are labled do not repair. Should I just go with metal and...

Oooopppss forget the part where you split the turbo housing -

Will . . . yes way off point with bisexual friends in a diesel IP discussion and some of the other stuff you wrote - but your final quote is hilarious - if indeed there is a "Hell" This thread is about a guy new to the 6.5 with a 2001 6.5 van version trying to put together a reliable - van...

I have this engine - you take off the cross over by the six bolts - three each side - and then take off the intake and exhaust piping. You then hold the turbine shaft with the socket and take off the nut on the compressor side - which is left hand and put on the new one. so . . . it is not...

Yeah . . . lots of them closing doors - or have guys not as smart as you would think. They are hurting so bad any custom anything walks in the door means $$$ signs hit their eyes. I have a TIG setup and can weld up my own custom stuff. Even the local Stanadyne Authorized rebuilder and as the...

I have a Savana van and currently the inter cooler is mounted below the radiator where the air dam is cut open to allow the air flow to and through it. Since my A/C condenser is on the side - I was considering getting a thin and larger inner cooler to place where the A/C condenser is often...

Will, . . . correct . . . and I never will . . . as for the amount of fuel the 6.5 engine can consume and high enough persistent inlet line pressure it does not do anything to matter. One can put on a 3/8 line fitting to the inlet - but the IP needs constant and persistent PRESSURE to perform...

By cooling stack I am assuming you mean on top of the radiator Any way you can share a part number - manufacturer - or where to get it ??

Yes - my first thought and it scared me - but I heard no clicking noise often which comes with a failing converter - so I dodged a bullet
