Cleaning house after replacing the 6.5 with a 6.2 in October. Located Fort Myers (Southwest) Florida (33903 zip for shipping calcs) A complete 599 short block. approx 300K on the clock. Shows a ridge at the top of the bore. Haven't pulled the pan. Spring on #7 exhaust valve collapsed, decided...

Setting up my bypass oil filter. I'm taking the feed oil from the top of the extension hose on my OPS. That means I need to create a tee using a 1/4 npt nipple into the top of the extension hose, with a bushing out the side for an 1/8 npt to the filter housing, and re installing the OPS on top...

The new pump arrived this afternoon. Already got the injector lines installed. Gonna try to get it on the engine today. The tag on the pump reads......DB2829-4267 serial xxxxxxxx "Moose Junior" The number corresponds to an '84-'85 military pump. So it is clearly not a .31 plunger pump...

Anybody have opinions, good or bad? Thinking about "Treadwright" retreads. With the "Kedge Grip" additives for the truck in my sig. Also was thinking about trying to find someone that can do retreads onto a load range G carcass. Those are typically "ST" (special trailer) tires with the stouter...

Obtained db2 4911 "rebuilt", from Pensacola. Installed, truck ran beautiful, with one exception.......no hot start. About a pint of cold water over the IP would get it fired up again. They were very good about getting another pump to me right away. Installed, truck barely idles. Stumbles badly...

I got the new bushings from the dealer. Price not to bad at $18.00 per. problem is, like the control arm bushings, they need to be pressed out, and new one pressed in, complete with the shells. Easy enough on the control arms where they can be removed from the vehicle. Removing the entire...

The facts....... DS4 replaced with DB2829 4646 J code from '88 vintage 6.2. Only mods to IP are inlet replaced with 3/8" fitting to go with the FFM FTB mod. And the delivery screw turned up 1/3 of a turn. Cummins hfp953 lift pump. Verified will push 17-18 psi with glow shift electric, and a...

I'm getting ready to install a FASS fpr 1001 pressure regulator, between the stock FFM and the DB2 IP I have recently installed, to get the pressure from the Cummins lift pump back down to a sustainable 9psi. Don't know what it pushes now, but is rated at around 14-17psi IIRC. The FASS includes...

I posted with same title in the 6.2 section. Instead of reposting entire thing, please see it there. Concerns DB2 IP conversion onto 6.5. Thanks for any help

Posting in the 6.2 section for reasons that will become obvious. Finally got fed up with the DS4 on the 6.5 and ripped it off the engine. I had a great running 6.2 from an '88 G30 hanging around the shop for a couple of years so decided to use that DB2 as a replacement. (It is a DB2829 4646)...

Saw this posted on youtube, thought it was pretty interesting. He put a 4L80E behind a carbureted small block in an earlier truck, wired up the tranny to switches and shifts it that way, without a computer. Gives a pretty good explanation in the video of how it all works in conjunction with the...

Will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of the purchase of the dually in a couple weeks. In all this time, I have never had a working heater. Now that the A/C is in need of some work I decided to restore the entire "climate control" system I put in a new core to be safe, but I'm at a bit...

Since the Diesel is still down, I started getting the gasser ready for some holiday travel. It's a short 1/2 ton. 5.0L gas, nv3500 manual trans. Bought it in mid Sept. 130K on the clock Wednseday night......... New heater core, flushed cooling system, new stat. Checked, adjusted brakes...

repairs. How tuff is it to get them bled of air? Just keep it cranking til it fires? or is there a short cut, or something else that should be checked? Truck is in the hands of a diesel "mechanic". When I happened by this afternoon to check on progress they were trying to get it started, had...

36, pulse width long. A bit more info. Racor was running a 30 micron element for past year+. Was running a 2 micron before that, with no ill effects other than they clogged a bit quicker. The only element I could get my hands on locally was a 10 micron(R20T), and of course replaced the FFM...

I have a good running 6.2 "J" code motor. Was installing into my '70 GMC project(already sitting on the frame with 700r4 attached). The recent continuing problems with the old 6.5 in the dually (at over 260K, estimated) has me thinking a swap might be a good idea. The 4l80e seems to be...

Truck died while idling outside AZ this morning while I was in getting crossover gaskets to fix a leak that developed there yesterday. No start, good crank. Had codes 13, 36, and 68. I've had the 36 and 68, with no overdrive for several weeks now, but truck was running well, with only an...

Havent had overdrive in the 4l80e since early October. Wasnt getting any codes at that point. Now I'm getting a 36 (injection pulse width long) and 68 (trans component slipping). Is the tranny problem likely to cause the dtc 36, or am I looking at two different problems here? Possibly a...

Regarding truck in sig below. Tranny running rather hot. 210-230*(sensor in test port on driver side) Coolers run thru rad first, then auxiliary on front of cooling stack, then thru a cooler mounted under the cab with a fan on it. Stock pan and fluid correct on stick. In past couple of...

for the rear of truck in the signature......bearings, races easy enough to find. Having difficulty locating the repair sleeves. Would like to find one for both, but the one for the outer bearing may be absolutly necessary. Too late to make phone calls tonight, but advance and az are no go...
