    doing the injectors

    Also - use petroleum jelly or grease to hold the new copper washers on the new injectors so you don't piss away half the day searching for washers that dropped into the abyss under the truck....ask me how I know...

    doing the injectors

    Easily done in 2 hours or less....have all the tools you need on the bench beside you and away you go.... Use the proper socket - don't be cheap and use an axle socket - bend up a few different wrenches to get different angles at the injector hard lines - be a man and just pull the return...

    Economics of an older Burb

    An '11 Escalade would be way more than 62k....especially up here in the North...worth every penny....wish I could afford one newer than the 06 in my garage.... A 'slade with a DMAX would be even sweeter......

    Does it ever stop bleeding?

    Yes - the bleeding will stop.....I bled for quite a few years with 6.5s while socking money away to buy what I have now...07.5 DMAX and 06 Escalade. The one thing the 6.5 did have going for it (and it was already mentioned) was that it was factory installed in 1500 series rigs and Yukons...

    hit a deer

    For a quick cheap fix, cut the rubber lines and join them together with a plumbing fitting of the correct size....it is winter after all.....

    OK, I've read everything! Still got some questions.

    Turbo # will be on a tag riveted to the turbo IP # is on the top of the IP between it and the manifold...may need a dentist mirror to get a good look at it... Engine code is the 8th digit of your VIN. Most HO pumps have 'HO' stamped on them...at least the handful I installed in the past...

    raced my truck...

    Different feeling with full tank versus 1/2 tank or less? To be honest, I have never dropped a 6.5 tank, but I did drop of a couple of tanks out of my 90's era gasser half tons that had holes in the 'dip tube' of the sending unit that was causing low fuel pressure. Low pressure + TBI = bad...

    gradual improvements towing

    This is a band-aid solution for the trailer swaying....I have one on my camper trailer and it stopped the wandering dead!

    Payments???? The DMAX is paid off already dude....:smile5: Running 14's on a tune and exhaust and being able to pull anything I hook to is pretty sweet.... I have a 24' PJ gooseneck that I will be hauling bales with all next week.... This truck doesn't cost money, it makes money :D
