Cooling system began to pressurize and as a result my surge tank has been letting go of it's contents. I've been doing a lot of reading before diving in and it seems like the general consensus is to use Fel-Pro head gaskets. I have some brand new Victor Reinz head gaskets and was wondering...
Picked up my truck in Norfolk, VA after shipping it out about 40 days before hand. When I drove it, I noticed that it liked to drop out of OD constantly and of course my MPG suffered. I think I only had about 95 miles on the trip meter when the fuel level needle hit the full line. The...
My hopes for this thread is a compilation of experiences that we've encountered on the road or off with our 6.5/6.2's and what was done temporarily to get us back on the road to the nearest shop, home or ultimate destination. With that being said, I present to you what I hope to market and make...
Do quad gauge pillar pods exist for a 94 pickup? I'd like to consolidate a fuel pressure gauge, boost gauge, pyrometer and tranny temp into one location. What is your guys'setup when you have more than 3 gauges?
This past week my fuel pressure guage went from being ~1.5 psi to a vacuum of over 20 psi! Figured it might have been the OPS or the lift pump since I had nothing coming out of the air bleed screw on the fuel filter. Gave me a good opportunity to install the OPS extension hose from Leroy's...
Yesterday while helping a friend move barrels of veggie oil from one location to another I managed to break the outer joint of the passenger side half shaft while turning full left in 4WD. Mind you that this is a less than a month old reman unit from O'Reilly's Master Pro branded. The only...
I've gone through (2) dimmer switches in the past two years now. Granted that they have been from Oreilly's so maybe it's cheap junk? I'm thinking about going with an ACDelco one for the 3rd go around. Anyone else have problems with their dimmer switch going bad/ having a short life?
I was wondering if your starter happened to wear away enough of a section of the flex plate, what would be your preffered method of turning over the motor in order to get some fresh teeth exposed so that the starter could grab?
Yeah it just happened to this guy..... luckily I was in my driveway when said bolts sheard. Brand new starter installed by a very reputable transmission shop back in March. Also luckily, they are trying to fit me in to their schedule to have it repaired.
So back in the week of July 4, 2012 I installed a golden fuel WVO system. Works great but recentlyI've noticed that my fuel guage would hit the "Full" mark at around 75-80 miles whereas before I would see 125-130. What I did notice is that while I'm on my WVO system, the diesel guage overtime...
A few months ago in between PCS from Camp Lejeune to Hawaii myself the wife and two dogs took a roadtrip across the US. Long story short, plastic tank by the upper hose gave out, I used some quick fixes to keep us on the road but kept my eye on the temperature gauge. Quick fixes consisted of...
