    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I have no doubt in my mind now that me leaving the vehicle on all night definitely drained the batteries or messes the alternator up. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DaUWqxpFga86CePL9 In the first vid you can see the voltage when im on the interstate with nothing on vs when I turn on the lights...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Battery is more than likely drained, if thats the case, oh boy im in trouble. Here's where I lowkey shot myself in the foot: Batteries: O'Riellys, there are no oriellys in the NYC/LI area, I can only take them to autozone to recharge them, cant warranty them out as I would have Alternato...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I should clarify. I eliminated that diobe on the alternator, the 6.2 Diesel Chat on reddit said to since every alternator has one built in, when I did, the voltage meter actually began to show correct voltage. I essentially spliced the wires from the spade connectors together. And then I...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Super off topic. What do you all use for an air duct/inlet hose? My current one is full of holes, ideally id want a replacement but if I have to Jerry rig it/patch it up together I guess I'll have to. (Engine bay for reference)

    Super off topic, been thinking of doing a dual exhaust setup, what's everyone's thoughts on that? Would love to imitate something like this: Id be nice to have a loud, nice sounding exhaust (bonus with the turbo whistle)

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Whats the best way to add the ground pepper into the radiator then? Been told to leave it running with the cap off for 5 minutes, been also told to let it get up to operating temps (cap off) and then add it in.

    If i recall, this is the one I used, its from Aldi. And no sir, no flush was made on the cooler since a year ago.

    New cap for the radiator? Eh sure why not I suppose. Would me adding more black pepper do anything? Heard it could mess up the water pump, heater core, etc.

    I actually did add two teaspoons of black pepper in thr aluminum radiator last week, its slowed the leak down, but, its still there (granted, alot slower now), should I try again? Is it even worth it? I still have the can of it (small one)

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    This right here makes the most sense. Assuming this is what is occuring on my end....should I even both with it? Should I just let it be, at worst, its a few drops (though this seldom happens) alot of the times, its two drops and thats that.
