A couple years ago my daughter picked up a 83 Jimmy with a turboed 6.2L It was kind of lacking power and smoking some at idle and when you would get on it. The truck had an electric lift pump on it that was dead. I put on a new lift pump and all was good. Power was pretty descent, the...

I have to long blocks I need to pull apart and check. I know one is a 506 but I forget what the other one is. But if you end up needing a block, let me know. I have family in Montana so it would be an excuse to get up there to see them. I don't know if the engines are even good, but...

Mine never changed either. Same RPM as before.

Here's my experience with K&N. When I first bought my truck I bought a K&N for it. Then I decided to install my intercooler. So when I pulled the duct off the turbo to re-clock it for the intercooler tubing I noticed I had gritty type oil at inlet. I called K&N and told them what I found...

Thats what I was thinking of doing. Just tap it down a bit.

I just bought a S&B setup for mine. It fits, but hits the hood. I'm going to try and look closer at it this weekend. I think it might hit because the ATT sits a little higher than the GM8 I believe. I am running it with the end cap off right now, and intake temps seem to be the same as with...

If you don't have an upgraded lift pump, don't be surprised if you need one in the future. I couldn't pull my fuel pressure down below 2 PSI, then I did the feed the beast and it pulled down to a vacuum. I was pulling the toy hauler and truck just lost all power and started sputtering, I...

I have been kicking around the idea of getting a DMax, but really don't want to sell my truck. Then when he came along and made me this offer it really got me thinking. But I have done a lot to my truck and I'm happy with it. But just wonder if I got a DMax would I be climbing the sierras...

Out here dealers are $130+

He doesn't like the body style and won't find a Dmax as clean as my old body style anywhere near $11,000. He just wants it for his daily driver. He doesn't tow anything and really likes the body style of the 88-00 trucks. Oh, and I meant 155K miles, not !%%.

I have a friend of mine that has wanted my truck for a while now. And he has offered me $11,000 for my truck. So when I laughed thinking he was joking, he said no, I have cash money for it. He said he has always loved my truck since I bought it and the truck is still like brand new even...

I've had my intercooler for 7 years with no problems.

Just wondering. But why not just get a Walbro for another $20? I put 2 of those Carter pumps on my father inlaws 01 cummins in 3 years. Got the lift pump from Carquest but when taken out of the Carquest box, it said Carter right on it.

That's what I tried telling them over at dieselplace. That my truck with the ATT pulled harder with 0-2 psi than my GM 8 did at 4-8 psi. They just kept arguing it's 4.10 to 3.42 gears and yada yada yada BS.

I haven"t used K&W but I have used Red Devil. I had a cust. that had a blown head gasket in a Toyota and he had no money, so I told him we could try This stuff called Red Devil, but I have never used it. He said ok lets try it. It had a total dead cylinder, I poured that stuff in, and in a...

Man, prices haven't changed much. I think I paid about that 8 years ago when I did mine. Only difference is I welded my pipes to minimize silicone joints. But, nice install. I think it's worth it. Slim and turbine doc told me I don't need it with the ATT, but when I installed the ATT and it...

That 360 probably gets you 7-9 mpg? The 6.5L should get you 12-17mpg. I get 12.5 with nothing but around town stop and go traffic. 15-18mpg empty on highway depending on how fast I drive. 9-10mpg towing a 9000lb toyhauler. I have 4.10's with 265/75R16 tires.

Well, I can pretty much guarantee you will save money on fuel. I was going to sell my truck and buy a red CC with an 8.1L instead of my older 6.5L. In 300 miles I save $20 in fuel over what the 8.1L would cost me. I only have 155K miles on mine, but it has been to the Grand Canyon...

A buddy of mine has 6 sets od HID's from DDM and out of the 6 sets he's had 1 ballast go bad. He said he paid $6 for shipping and they warrantied it and paid shipping back. I just put MEAN GREEN's headlight harness in mine with some Xentec HID's I acquired, and they are pretty bright. They...

This was kind of why I was thinking of using synthetic. I live in northern CA and tow our toyhauler up highway 80 a lot going camping in the summer. A lot of times it is near 100 outside towing up 6-7% grades. And was just thinking the synthetic might be a better choice for the summer heat...
