    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Oh my Ok… depending on clarity of the amp is if it should have the MUCH LARGER ground wire return directly to the battery and have a noise suppressor in line. You should have a large connection point for the ground which uses the same size cable as the power going to it. A common trick is a...

    Possible Engine Build for my 93 Truck

    Balanced injectors vs unbalanced are a far bigger impact to power than 6.2 vs 6.5. I wished when GEP started casting they went back to the 6.2. Bring some old oil incase he doesn’t have enough in there and a compression tester.

    Electronical Fuel Pressure Gauge

    Remember there is another option for fuel gauges. If you add an ISOLATOR You can safely mount a mechanical gauge in the dash. It takes 2 to do the pre filter/post filter thing. Basically a blader that has a small compartment on either side. It has a fitting on each side of the bladder, one...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Nothing really. The difference in mass production probably seings almost that far

    Problem: Heavy shudder upon braking

    Tell me this is a late April fools joke… Or maybe have April change the drums this time?

    5.7 diesel up and running

    The test fluid is best. If there was any REAL diesel fuel out there that would work- but the ethanol wrecks that now. Straight “base” oil that has no additives is ideal if you can find some, preferably 10wt but anything 50 or under works- the key is finding something with definitely no alcohols...

    1994 dually 2wd

    Unfortunately with it not running you have to expect a garbage engine and maybe trans also. Any driving truck that will pass a smog test, you have to account for $1,000 in miscellaneous the first year or so. Not running-could be anything.

    No way near 3,700 as is imo.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Have you tried the egg trick? Get the engine warm but not building pressure yet. Crack a couple raw eggs into the radiator. Then just drive. The egg cooks and once it gets to the leak it expands like expandable foam insulation and seals up the leak (provided it’s a small leak). I learned...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    IMO fixing the cruise control is your best investment in time & money for for saving money in fuel used. Start by finding a schematic for it. Spray a little cleaner on the cable then spray with some graphite in an aerosol can. DO NOT add oil on the cable. I don’t use a desktop computer-...

    Problem: Heavy shudder upon braking

    You are 100% correct when a rotor or a drum gets warped from heat- IT IS NOT FIXABLE- REPLACE ONLY. You can’t turn them to eliminate it. This is the opposite effect of chryogenic treatment. You overheated it then altered the temper by letting it air cool.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    You can look into an HHO generator but only if you are already invested in premium quality batteries and plug into a battery tender nightly- many that have them swear by them. Scientific minds say it is just turning the electricity from your house into dc power of your battery then the water...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Have you done TIRE CHALKING to know you have right tire pressure for YOUR VEHICLE? Tire pressure on the sidewall is to max out the weight capacity. And as you know airing down helps with traction offroad by giving a longer footprint of tread on the ground. If your tire is too wide for what...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    with the numbers you are getting- idk if wmi will help much. If you gave egt gauge(s) you could report number on- we would know if it would help. The way most folks see an improvement is not just using water but the original term of wmi Water/Methonal Injection is the gains from cooling and the...

    Problem: Heavy shudder upon braking

    When we spoke on the phone, you were sure it was front axle chattering. If not sure, get a line plug and seal the line for the rears. Test. Then swap plug to front and test. Doing this you will be eliminating the plugged axle from braking so keep speeds minimal.

    My son's 1968 Chevy

    No. Tbi should be easier on the rest of the engine than a carburetor IF it is working right. Tbi does not impact valve spring tension. That engine looks completely wiped out. At this point I would consider full rebuild vs replacement. Pull the block out & apart to inspect. Get pricing...
