2000 K3500, 6.5 turbo diesel. The factory hose/pipe has been removed and it now has a 3/4” hose from the T-Stat cross over to the heater core. Coming right off the heater core nipple, about four to five inches distance there is the exhaust down pipe. Trying to clean some appearance of what it...

I believe that You have the better solution. I’m kind of lacking in the sponge supply in My garage but I will keep that in mind next time I see a sale on sponges.

Sad but true. Have His mom watching Him on a hill side. Women know how to scream out NOOOOOOO when a child is about to endanger themselves. Several times of those NOOOOOOOO statements and it then will be engrained in his mind about, do not turn on hillsides. 🤷‍♂️

I checked down through all of the intake ports and none of the piston return springs was missing. The piston return springs are a little longer and smaller in diameter and not nearly as stout looking as this one. I now am thinking that this spring must have come from a sprung thermostat sometime...

I’m thinking it had to have came out of the T-Stat housing when I pulled it off. With as long as I have been messing with this engine over the course of the last month or two, I would have seen that spring before now, if it had been laying where it was.

At 400,000 miles a dealership would give nothing for a trade in on it. They might tell You blah blah boablahblah about how much they are giving You but in reality it is $000,000.01 Drive the old beast, pour in a bottle or two of that additive and use some Stanadyne fuel supplement and just...

About ready to gain a mysterious prestone leak out the back of the enjun. When I pulled the intake manifold this time there was a very small amount of prestone on one side at the back of the valley. Decided to replace the T-Stat cross over and rear passage cover gaskets. T-Stat cross over off...

Be sure to plug the exhaust down pipe and the turbo flange ports. I dropped a drift punch down the down pipe and had to disconnect it down underneath to get that critter recovered. I could have left it in there to rattle around, didnt think I’d like that too much though. 🤷‍♂️😹😹😹

Thats all I can do for now, until the injector pipes is installed and fastened down.

Setting over the studs.

A back side view.

The heat shield on My 2000 has two tabs on the injector pipe bracket that the heat shield plugs into those two tabs. Then there is two small screws that holds it at the top near where the injector tubes mounts to the bracket.

I like those tall narrow tires. Should get some mighty good traction with those.

Waiting in anticipation.

When I bought the container that I just finished, there was but only one Right Stuff, black and thick. 🤷‍♂️😖😹

I think I dont like this new “ Right Stuff “ gasket adhesive sealer. It now is grey in color and is almost as thin as Honda Bond adhesive. I started out with the old dispenser container of black right stuff. It run out. Went to the parts store to get another container, the jug was larger in...

Got both rocker covers offt. On this go round, I will figure a way to get sealer on the rear ends of the cylinder heads. I must say, it was a blitch getting the pulley removed from the PS pump but it now is accomplished. That should end the struggle of getting that cover for the left side...

That mechanical eraser thing would also work for that but it might take a LOT of them wheels. 😹😹😹

Is that tractor a diesel ? It also appears to be a four wheel drive. That tillar appears like it works very nicely.
