For an upcoming build, I'm hoping to incorporate a CAC (intercooer) by using the DMax first generation rad & cac in tandem in the K3500's core support. I've read on other forums about this mod being done before, so I'm hoping someone with firsthand experience can chime in with any helpful...

I thought @FellowTraveler was in Florida but I haven't seen him in a while here and when I typed his name it didn't let me select his account... Hope everyone is ok down there

In the thread I linked to the OP ultimately used the manifold with the 90 and just cut the 90 and re- positioned it to point downwards and welded it back. I've got to dry fit things on the blown engine in the dump truck to see if my plan will actually work or if I'll have to get creative.

@EWC this is the manifold for a van/ hummer, stock form used on the passenger side https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/MANIFOLD-EXHAUST-RH-TURBO_p_2132.html When bolted to the driver side it faces forward. The outlet is flanged like the outlet of a turbo; a flat faced flare is needed with a v-band...

@Big T It's a very clean low mileage Optimizer takeout. I never bothered to look up the date code, any chance you could decipher it Chris? I found it on marketplace 2 years ago just outside of Cleveland. Someone had bought it as a takeout and installed leaky head studs so they sold the engine...

Looks fantastic Chris! The engine is going in a 1993 K3500 1 ton dump truck. Will see lots of work hauling construction materials and equipment. Still working on getting a built DB2 to mate with the engine. This engine is hopefully going to get the custom front crossover using the Banks...

@Big T upper or lower? I have two spare upper intakes

I guess I'm also biased by living in the rust/ salt belt, that was my main factor in weighing the extra cost. But if that's not a concern then yeah why spend the extra money. My aluminized exhaust on my pickup is less than 5 years old and already rusting good in some spots

With the stainless being only $50 more I don't see why anyone would go aluminized. Seems well worth the extra 50 to me

Here's the best price on stainless https://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-mels-4-turbo-back-exhaust-94-00-65l-gm-diesel.aspx Quadstar looks to have the best price on Aluminized with shipping included in price Here's the same kit from Summit, not sure what shipping is...

I only heard of this recently myself. There's a fellow I'm getting some GMT800 parts from sometime next month who has done this upgrade and offered to share how to go about it. I'll pick his brain when we meet up and report back here. Apparently it's a very noticeable difference especially when...

@Twisted Steel Performance in another thread I linked @SnowDrift to a '93 6.5 that was getting parted out so he could get throttle bracket and cruise module. I think the truck is an automatic. Also think it's located in Michigan so not exactly close to you but perhaps someone could scoop it up...

@Glagulator thank you for sharing, I didn't know the PCM only controlled the GPR after a DB2 swap. I thought that the PCM was necessary for those wanting to keep cruise control too. Given that detail, do you know of a more simple way to wire in CC? From what I recall Bobbie Martin's guide has...

@Stoney the beefsteaks are either marbone or ginfiz hard to say for sure which one when not fully ripe. The unripe tomatoes in the second pic are Granadero

You'll definitely want the bracket, too bad he doesn't have the throttle cable. Keep looking online or see if by chance a wrecker yard has a 92 or 93

The pointy tomatoes are a paste/ sauce tomato called Granadero. Not much moisture in them so great for canning/ less water to cook down for preserving The beefsteak varieties are Marbone and Ginfizz. All bred specifically for growing in a high tunnel (greenhouse). I'm lucky to have this...

Two questions- Where does one get offset keys? And how did the fellow up north get his hands on a new P400? lol

And just like that...it's BLT Season 😍

In a thread on here months ago it was revealed that there are some potential issues with the new batch of timing gears from Leroy. Unfortunately the timing gears are not as simple as "plug and play" and the cam needs to be degreed to ensure proper timing when installing the gears. I'm no engine...

@Stoney what kind of tomato blight? If it's late blight there's nothing you can do, it kills plants overnight. All blights are from fungal spores that thrive it wet environments. So keeping the plants dry is prevention #1. Pruning the plants to promote air flow and drying out is another good...
