http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0BuqnkwAxM You can hear it right around 1:33 or so. It's a groaning/moaning sound. I can't figure it out. It started doing it about a week ago after a week of heavy rain/high humidity. It doesn't occur every time. Maybe 50% of the time, and the rest of...

Didn't write much about this swap here. Didn't really have the time. This pictures a few weeks old. I've since touched up the lower intake, since it had to be removed. Oh. I found the remaining piece of lifter retainer from my other thread. It was sitting inside the oil pump pickup and...

How in the hell does this happen? This retainer came from the second pair of lifters(front of the engine being the first set) on the passenger side. The third lifter(pictured above) has had no retainer around it for close to 2 years now. Guess i found my ticking. The first 2...

8,000 miles... 8,000 :cussing:miles...... :suicide: That's all i got out of the Autozone clutch kit. It was a brand new throwout bearing when i installed it less than 2 years ago. I knew it wasn't happy when i started getting chirping noises a few months ago. I knew it was even more unhappy...

Who's going this year and when? I'll be there hopefully early this time around.

Do yourselves a favor and check your frames around the front body mount steel on both sides of the vehicle. In between the two welded "perches" that make up the vertical sides of the body mount support I noticed a large amount of scale on the passenger side of the frame up next to the top body...

http://www.harlandsharp.com/cummins.htm Wonder what their price is? Looks strangely similar to these. Could Peninsular have had Harland Sharp build roller rockers for them? I've seen a set of Harland Sharps in person. They are very well built. I'd have to personally say the rockers in...

One of the captive nuts in the body is spinning with the bolt so i can't remove the old shot body mount. Is there any other way to hold the nut still so i can remove the bolt other than cutting a hole in my floor that i just repaired? Could've been worse i suppose. Three of the 4 main...

I'm aware this is 6.2 related but i figured you guys would want to see this. According to that GM brochure the 6.2 was originally designed with a forged steel crankshaft. One would think that would've carried over to the 6.5 as well. Too bad GM was busy counting their pennies instead...

Long story short i responded to a craigslist ad that was local for a free 6.2, only thing i si have to help remove it form the truck. No big deal since there's no front clip on the truck at all. Fenders, hood, inner fenders all gone. So this morning before i leave to look at it the owner...

9/11/2010 - of all days. First off i want to pay my respects to all those lost on that fateful day 9 years ago and all those that have been lost in the fight to keep this country free. i knew it was going to be a good day at the junkyard today. Something in me just said "go junkyarding"...

A buddy just bought an 86 F350 with the 6.9 diesel in it. we've had our first cool day, and the truck didn't start. it just smoked from the exhaust but never caught. I believe the controller is bad as it'll come on for about 5-8 seconds then it'll constantly click on and off rapidly even...

Well i had the gaskets from Heath to re-install the turbocharger on the 94 K3500 in my driveway, until last night. Overnight the damn gaskets grew legs and ran off. Just great. I can't find them anywhere in the house, in any of the trucks, in the trash, nowhere. :cussing: What have you guys...

:prrr: Still haven't gotten rid of the damn engine tick in my blazer. It's still running and save for the few times a cylinder has dropped dead for about 10 seconds and then cleared up, nothing's gotten worse. Oil pressure when warm ~25 psi. When cold at idle it's ~45-50. That's going by...

ok i'm fed up. Driving along the other day i started getting a ticking noise, unlike the lifter tick i've had for a while now. This sound is only when moving under power, or hte engine is under a load(hold the brakes and release the clutch slowly in 1st and it's very audible). At first i...

Found the Cumberland Farms(Used to be Thorntons until they were bought out recently) next door to my job installed a brand new Diesel pump a few weeks ago and on it a new sticker that says the same as the following photo. The picture isn't mine but the sticker is the same. I didn't know it...

Hey guys. My father borrowed my truck one day to haul a load of firewood. He put fuel in it beforehand. What are the symptoms of bad fuel or gelled fuel? Right now i've got a P0251 and P0370, which Bill Heath says when those together pop up it indicates a bad LP. The LP was warrantied...

hey guys. I hope this thread doesn't turn out as grim as i'm feeling right now. This thread will decide the blazer's fate i think. Long story short i was coming up a big hill and was into the pedal a tad. All gauges were normal. Engine was at operating temp below the 200* mark on the temp...

The Dorman injector return line kit is total and absolute garbage. :mad: First off it's the old style that is not the clampless style. They were a pain to install but i figured that i'd never have to mess with them again until i bought new injectors. Boy was I wrong.... After 2...

does anyone know what thread the exhuast manifold bolts are for a 97 6.5TD? I can't see to find them anywhere and i'm working on a truck with a severely crusty passenger side manifold that's getting replaced. M10 x1.50 comes to mind for some reason. I"m not sure if that's correct or...
