    What I am driving now....

    When I got rid of my 6.5 (no complaints, overall was very good to me) I got a 2004 DC Duramax, not exactly what I was looking for, but got a very good deal on it - never was crazy about it, finally sold it... and got more than I paid for it, so that's good... Anyway, for now I'm back to...

    Another 50 bucks wasted

    Got the engine out right now, figured I'd put a new timing chain on it while it's out, got the new one in, and it's no tighter than the old one with 230,000 miles on it! :mad2:

    Firewall & underhood insulation?

    I know this is not the forum for this, not sure where it goes. Where can I get replacement insulation for the firewall? Between motor / bellhousing and firewall. I also need to replace the insulation on the hood.

    6-5liter.com?

    Anyone with personal experience? Good, bad...... There is another site that goes by 6.5liter.com, that's not the one I'm interested in. Don't know yet if I am gonna need a new engine, just checking around.

    Occasional rod knock?

    OK, I know there is no such thing as a rod knock that goes away, but that's what this sounds like. Once in a while (maybe once every 3 days) sitting at idle, it will start this clunk, clunk sound. Lasts about 5 - 10 seconds. About 4 months ago, I had to replace the main pulley, which has a...

    Ignition switch price ridiculous!!

    Mine is going out, I believe. I am leaving on a 4 day Jeep trip in the morning. Decided to pop into AutoZone and pick one up to bring with me, so I'd be able to change it if it completely quits - I was expecting price to be about 40 dollars....... 165.00 :yikes: NAPA, O'Reillys, Advance...

    Best brake mod

    Not really engine related. Unplugged the POS ABS module today, it's been raining, roads are wet, good time to try it out. This is the best the brakes have ever felt! If I want, I can lock them, but there's no butt clinch factor, it's controllable, unlike the ABS, which used to detect...

    Oil cooler line time..... Opinion?

    I have put up with oil leaks under my truck for a long time, but recently I had a larger puddle than normal overnight - upon checking, it appears that one of the stock cooler lines (which I replaced about 3 years ago) has a leak, or maybe a crack, right at the area of the crimp. I am gonna go...

    Oil leak opinions

    Have had a fairly decent oil leak for about 3 years, has gotten to adding a quart every 700 miles or so. It's coming from the front, but I really can't tell where. I am fairly lazy,so I need to know - would it be worth the effort to pull the balancer and change just the oil seal, or pull...

    Starting.....?

    Yesterday, my truck began cranking slow - still fast enough to start the engine but noticeably slower than normal. This developed all of a sudden, one start fine, next one was slow. I checked all the cables, slight corrosion at the terminals, cleaned them and same thing. Checked battery...

    Main drive pulley ?? Where to buy?

    What is the correct name? Harmonic balancer pulley? Mine is separate piece from the balancer, I believe. Where can I find this pulley? Don't see it in O'Reilly or Autozone websites, this weekend I am gonna pull it (it's definitely bad, can rotate it 2-3" by hand) Yes, I am gonna check the HB...

    Tranny electronic expert please

    Had hard 1-2 shift for last 3-4 years, started gradually, but became pretty much every time it shifted - had a couple of shops try to talk me into pulling it down, but I didn't think the problem was mechanical. Was in the dealer a month ago for something else, told them about the hard...

    4L80-E harsh 1-2 shift

    Truck has had this problem around 4 years, learned to lift foot slightly just before shift point - now gotta relearn how to drive it! Background: changed wheel cylinders and calipers this week, had trouble getting firm pedal afterwards and found out the ABS had to be activated to completely...

    I just wasted 3+ hours......

    Bought a new D-tech and 6 foot extension harness, pulled off the old cooler that I had mounted on the intake, drilled and tapped holes inside bumper (PITA to access) drilled and tapped the cooler so I could have the D-tech and Stanadyne mounted side by side, so I'd have an easy backup, ran the...

    Waterproofing PMD?

    I ordered a new D-Tech and extension harness, already have a heat sink. Going to mount it in the bumper, I know a lot of folks have made their own remote mounts, what are people using to seal the PMD on the heat sink? Silicone, epoxy......?
