Well, its been a while since we talked about the cams from Heath Diesel and who was going to or already running one, so let's talk. Anyone running one yet? What's your opinion? Is anyone using a cam other than stock? Let's talk.

Hey guys, quick question here. I had the heads on the 95 milled about 2 or 3 years ago due to blown gaskets. Since then, I've only put about 5K miles on it. What's the consensus on having to mill them again if I pull them off in the near future? Got a few ideas I'm toying with and i just wasn't...

Hey guys, what do you think of this one. I was talking to one of my co-workers about the cold weather and our fuel and he mentioned that another driver told him that he put acetone in his fuel. Not a lot, but, acetone? They put it in our pumps in winter to keep them from freezing. I haul a...

Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with ceramic coatings here? Jet-hot, VHT rattle can spray, various private shops, etc... Do they really work as claimed? Are underhood temps really reduced and by how much? Lot, little. Do they hold up to use?

Didn't want to hi-jack anything, so, how do you set POP pressures. Either higher or lower than stock?

I've looked, but apparently not in the right places. I can seem to find anything on how to remove or install precups. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't find it. Thanks in advance,

Hey guys, got a question about oil temps, post turbo. Oil return line, specifically. I have a leaking oil return line on my C-13 and the dealer wants $60 for a new line. Well I'm basically too cheap to spend that kind of $, so I'm wondering if I cut out the bad section of steel line (about...

Hey guys and MGW, I'm thinkin bout using a 6.2 short block with the 6.5 heads. I know that part will work. I don't remember if I can punch out the .2 to .5 specs and use the pistons, rods and crank from a .5? Or will I have to use the .2 stuff in the block? If so, does Scat make a crank for...

I know about the issues prone with the PMD's, but is a mechanical 6.5 IP capable of similar power (HP) when turned up, to a chiped one? I got a lead on a 92 3/4T with a good body, but I'm hesitant to jump on it. I'm not sure of the reliability and power potential. If I get it, its gonna...

A breif rewind: I changed the heads with redone ones this past summer. It ran pretty good so far. However, it just recently need a top off of coolant. No biggie, but I started wondering - why? Well today, I added the needed amount and let it idle up a little and to my supprize, there was a a...

If we install .010 thicker head gaskets on an otherwise stock engine, what would the new CR be? The engine in question is a 83 6.2 that I'm toying with the idea of putting on 6.5 heads. Isn't the stock CR 22:1?

Hello, got more of a question than delema. My 94 has the 19.5" rims, so naturally that means 10 lug in back and 5 up front. Is there any one that makes a kit to go from 5 lugs up to 10 in front? Gotta say, it looks goofy with just the five. Well, thats it. Thanks in advance,

Has anyone tried the D Tech IP? I can get the latest rebuilt IP from standadyne from a place near Chicago (autherized dealer), but I'm curious about the D tech rebuilds. Any good? Just as good? No good? The 95 just don't want to give more than 10 MPG, so I'm lookin at the IP as suspect...

First off, Happy Fathers Day to those who qualify. Secondly, while at work today, I saw a dark blue K1500 ex-cab, short bed, 4x4. It didn't say what year it was, but I beleive it was around 95 - 98/99 or so. I couldn't stop (boss is funny bout stopping with 8800 gal of gas at any place...

Is there a difference between doing the optic bump and going in and setting the timing with a tech II scanner? Are they one and the same? Can I do the optic bump with just hand tools or do I need a scanner for that one too? Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I can't really do a search here yet, so... on the turbo side, the longer bolts have a short 1/2" threaded stub sticking out. Are they entirely nesessary? Two rusted in the manifold and well, a grinder, a big hammer, a drill and a air hammer FINALLY got them out. Did I mention they were...
