    Replaced injector nozzles then problems

    If you pull your valve covers and find a rocker button busted and a rocker off center holding a valve open, I have 16 new buttons left over from my 6.5. PM me as I don't get in the 6.5 section much if you need them. I was fixing to gather up old parts and put things on ebay this weekend. Many a...

    Some Random GM Part Numbers

    Baldwin Filter #'s: 02 LB7 Oil: B1441 Air: PA4113 (I trimmed the sharp corners off) Fuel: BF7827 (Looking inside it seemed identical to the AC I took off) I went with the Allison spin on from the Alli dealer and 2 gals of transynd. Don't forget to keep your magnet on the top of the filter!

    brake controller on a 1995 GMC Suburban 6.5

    I guess I don't understand how the brake controllers work. I thought there was something built into the factory brake system that worked with the under dash controller to activate the brakes and apply teh brakes proportional to the amount of brake applied to teh pedal. So I should be able to...

    brake controller on a 1995 GMC Suburban 6.5

    I'm not sure about the trailer wires. I'm going to look at the truck this evening. My 97 2500 6.5 truck had the controller installed along with stating tow package on the build sheet. It seemed the 97-2000 trucks had all the wiring in place and all that was needed was adding the controller under...

    brake controller on a 1995 GMC Suburban 6.5

    I know, wrong forum but this is where all the 6.5 guys hang. I'm looking at buying a 95 GMC Burb with the 6.5 but it doesn't list the tow package in the build sheet. Do you know what I need to look for to know if I can add a trailer brake controller? Is there a certain plug or adapter under the...

    Crossover pipe

    My warpspeed x-over seemed a bit wide, maybe by a 1/4". I had to bolt in 1 side then start one bolt on the other side and pry it over a bit while I got the other 2 bolts in. Start spraying those bolts with penetrating oil. My bolts came out no problem, use a 6 point socket, 15mm I think.

    Going racing.....16 second mark here I come!

    There's a great right up on the web about changing these rear axles to disc breaks. The guy sells the adapter brackets that bolt on and I think everything else can be bought at the auto parts store or a salvage yard. Pics pics pics of the carnage!:cornut:

    Guage preferance thread

    I used VDO Vision series gauges, they offered a 0-15 boost gauge, they are back lit and resemble the stock gauges. Down side is there are no indicators to indicate a measurement is reaching an extreme level. I mounted them in the junk pocket in the dash under the ac controller. I like the stock...

    I'd still dig in the hole and check for a copper washer. There may have been 2 and 1 is still in there.

    6.5 destruction

    Recovery is fine. I just want to make sure the boys don't have sore necks next week. Yep a fresh buffing pad and some compound and she'll be as good as new. :) An organ donor, that's a good one. I haven't seen another 6.5 in town. I'm sure they are around but I haven't spotted one. No airbags in...
