Last week we closed on a nice piece of property about 20 min north from where we are now. It's a nice 3.5 acres that we plan to build a small A frame on with a big garage for me and all my stuff. Im finally going good get the shop I've always wanted! Right now the plan is a 60x40 and I might add...

A co worker of mine was showing me that there are hundreds of videos on Tiktok showing diesel trucks, semi's, AG equipment, and off road equipment all catching on fire. Apparently this is happening all over the country the past week after the price of diesel dropped significantly. People are...

I'm looking for a known good DB2 to test on my stand to confirm my CC volume is being accurately measured. Out of all the cores I have, only one pump actually seemed to be working. But even then I'm not sure if its in normal working condition. Idle volume spec is a very tight tolerance and I...

Our Napa district manager came into the shop yesterday with a rep from Mevotech. This spring they are launching a new line of chassis parts in the Napa Fleet series. These will be Mevotech TTX parts that are painted black with orange boots. The TTX line is awesome, but we always have an issue...

As I get closer to my engine build I've been spending some time researching head flow CFM and camshaft profiles on the 6.5. When upgrading to a much more efficient turbo I wanted to see if improvements could be made to the engine to make the most out of a turbo upgrade. So I took the time to...

Does anyone have a chart or info on the stock timing curve of a DS4 pump on a vin F engine? Im looking for the degrees of timing advance in relation to engine RPM.

The King of the Streets competition just announced today that all trucks must be emmisions compliant to compete. I have a feeling this will become a trend for all street driven trucks. And only dedicated competition trucks will be exempt from emissions. Another reason to own a pre emmisions diesel.

Does anyone have a coolant flow diagram for a 6.5? I can't seem to locate one.

I have 2 NEW stanadyne Head and Rotor assemblies. Part number 31816 for the MILITARY 6.2 engines. These are the updated design that fixed the hot restart issues. $200 each, these are over $500 if bought from stanadyne directly. If your having your pump rebuilt this will save you alot of money...

Does anyone have first hand experience with goodmark replacement body parts and patch panels? The LMC stuff is junk in my opinion. I want the best of the best aftermarket replacement body parts for my 78. I live 40 minutes from summit racing so I can pick up Goodmark stuff there and save on...

I've been looking around for a shop to EDM machine my rotor for bigger plungers. There are a few shops around me that look promising. But I wanted to check with you guys just incase someone knew a shop that was really good with machining these old pumps. I ordered the biggest plungers...

The time has finally come to put my 4x4 back together. It was totaled in an accident almost 7 years ago, and unfortunately has been sitting ever since. I had originally purchased a 78 k20 with a 350 combo and 203 case when I was 23. I quickly added a small lift and upgrade the engine with a few...

Some of you might know I've been spending alot of time researching and developing an injector nozzle in hopes of picking up some extra HP and MPG. (I know I know a full write up on that is coming very soon.) But I shifted gears and started looking into pre combustion chamber designs because I...

I'm looking for one marine (dn0sd311) nozzle assembly. Used would be preferable. I'm not looking to run it on my truck. All I want to do is measure it and compare the pintle design to the #304 and #253 nozzles. I'm doing research on building a true performance injector for these old oil burners...
