Hey Guys,
I went to the street legals last night with the 'MAX.
What a hot and humid night to run!
Everyone was running much slower than expected....here are my results...
Race #1 - I ran a 15.2 against a Toyota Supra that ran 15.3
Race #2 - I ran a 14.3 against a friend's Dodge...
The old man totalled his 97 k1500 4x4 6.5.
Hit a deer on the way home from work.
Good news is that he replaced it this morning with an 06 DMAX :thumbsup:
Hey Guys,
Just a thread to point guys towards the classifieds section. I am going to start parting out the hotrod.
Please do not fire me any PMs aout parts yet...I will post parts as I get time to remove them...
No need to respond to this thread and mods can feel free to delete it as...
Does the Edge Evolution leave its mark on the ECM? Does it have the ability to command a regen? Does it tell you when a regen is occuring?
I am just looking for a little better economy out of the truck - I am quite content with the power level where it is and I don't want to risk having the...
A quick question about my new LMM.
This truck does not have the DIC buttons (on of the few options the truck does not have). I have to use the odometer reset stick to scroll the message center.
Because of this, the truck does not display the fuel mileage information. I know that they are...
Hey Guys,
Just thought I would stop in this section and say hello!
I have been in a 6.5 for as long as I can remember.....now I stepped up into an 07 LMM extended cab shortbox....love it!
Got lots of reading to do....:thumbsup:
Perhaps the title is a bit dramatic....
Was on the way to the lake with about a 3000 lb trailer in tow - pulled out to pass someone on the highway and the truck made a wonderous racket and then died.
Pulled over to the side of the road and watched a waterfall of oil and coolant run out of...
There was another thing that I always thought was bogus - can the diesel engine be run in reverse rotation? Damn straight it can!
I was loading bales a couple of miles away from home with a late 60's Case 930 tractor. The batteries are no good on it so if you stall, you have a long walk...
Hey Guys,
This is not really 6.5 related at all (unless your ride has stacks and you need to tow it), but it is about a diesel turbo and I know there are a few guys on here that might be able to answer it.
I bought a combine the other day as harvest is quickly approaching and I needed to...
*Rant on*
Argh.....
97 K1500. Had a brand new (not rebuilt) IP installed about 2 years ago (by me).
Armature shaft must have broke on me because driving the truck has been like riding a bull lately - tons of surging issues, at idle the truck would rev up to 2000 RPM and back to idle on...
I know - wrong section....this one gets a lot more traffic though...
84 Chev 1500 w/6.2 diesel (C code)
The truck will start and idle for about 1 second and then die. If I hold the pedal to the floor while starting it, it will run and stay running at WOT until I let up on the pedal. If I...
If I had some extra time I would go and look at this truck. It is located about 40 mins away from me. Maybe cskemps could take a gander - he is closer to Hague than I am.
He says he has a DMAX turbo on his 6.5.
Yes, his price is rediculous, but I want to know if anyone else has run...
Hey Guys,
I have my pump on order for my WMI system.
Let's have a little discussion about the pros and cons of injecting an ethanol mist vs a methanol mist into an IDI diesel.
I have heard stories/facts about both fuels but would like to hear more opinions.
What fuel is better for...
This thread will cover my homebuilt WMI setup for those interested in following along/building their own.
The WMI system will consist of a pump, reservoir, lines, solenoids, and switches. I will cover each piece, tell you where I got it and how much I spent on it....
The first thing on my...
Got my HIR low beams in this morning.... (John Deere low beam mod)...
I did them one at a time so that I could see the old Sylvania vs the new Toshiba.
There is a definite difference in brightness between the two bulbs - I am sure this difference will be more exaggerated at night time...
Hey guys,
After reading a few threads I am wondering what I need to accomplish something.
I want to rig up an LED that turns 'on' when fuel pressure to the IP is at 0 PSI.
I know that a Hobbs switch allows current flow at specific pressures, but I want something that cuts out current at...
Hey Guys,
Trying to track down an issue and want to record live data with ScanTech.
Is this even possible? I have been through all of the features and all I can find are screenshots - I want to take 'video'.
If it is not possible via ScanTech, is there any software available that can...
I know that Eddzed is running this right now but I can't find the info on this site and I refuse to go hunting through the old site.
Hey Ed, can you give us a quick run through of your system?
I am looking at it as an option......gotta squeeze more HP out of this turd before spring track...
This post is just an FYI showing that even the great D-Tech is not bulletproof....
I have been chasing a fishbiting problem for a couple of weeks now and finally figured it out.
I was running a brand new D-Tech PMD mounted on a heatsink and located in the front bumper. The PMD was...
As always - if it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have any....
The old actuator on the rig decided to call it quits. I thought this would be a good time to 'upgrade' to the electric unit instead of the thermo unit.
I was going to take pics along the way for anyone else needing to do this mod...
