Can someone tell me what the ideal inlet fuel pressure is for the DB pumps? I know the DS likes 8-9psi at idle, which is what I've been running, I just want to make sure that it isn't too much. I tried searching with no luck. Thank you Nick

My DS4 gave up again after 45k miles/10 years. Not a bad run I guess, but with dreams of never replacing another PMD I decided to go the mechanical route. I've had great luck with our DB2 6.2s and was never let down by their reliability. Started amassing parts a few weeks back and finally have...

Finally getting around to installing the Fluidampr I purchased from leroy 4 years ago..... First off, I can't comprehend how anyone could have possibly installed one of these with a mallet as stated on some of the forums. I built an install tool with an old crank bolt and holy s**t did it take...

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I had posted about my DS4 on the way out. Well it finally bit the dust to the point of not being able to drive it. Following some much needed peer pressure from the responses, I am going the DB2 conversion route. I have started ordering all the parts needed for the job...

Hi guys, long time since I've been on any of the forums but when I hit a road block this is where I find the best information. I'm about ready to replace the injection pump on my '96, but just wanted to make sure I've exhausted all ideas. At this point I already have myself prepared mentally...

So ive got some material starting to show up in the bowl of my racor filter. Thoughts on this? Im thinking the tank lining has started to come apart. To the best of my knowlage this is the original tank to the truck (17 years old 125K miles) so it very well could be that time. Last...

Does anyone know of a reputable company for fixing OEM radios? I bought a "new" factory nav unit for my 06' and after a couple months the CD drive no longer works. It just reads "disc error" or something like that and makes noises like it is trying to load. I'd like to get it fixed after...

Ok, so I know this is not engine related....But this is the group I wanted to share this with, as I thought you would all appreciate this. After the horrible events of last week in Newtown, CT I wanted to do a little something in rememberence. I lived in Newtown for a few years after high...

Ok, so heres the deal. Ive noticed with the new FRC-10 LP, my stock FFM cant seem to hold up to the increased pressures. I keep running into an issue with the fuel filter o-rings blowing diesel all over the place. Not a small leak, but a stream of fuel on the ground. Im using AcDelco filters and...

Ok here is my last try. I have searched all over the internet and called countless gm parts sources and guage repair shops, still with nothing. I am searching for stepper motors for the older instrument guage clusters found in our 6.5 rigs. The one im working on now is from our 00 express van...

Anyone have a source for gm guage cluster parts? Preferably 95'+ parts, stepper motors, clear covers etc. Im trying to fix the cluster in our 6.5 express van, but I could always use parts for the newer trucks as well. Figured its good job security if I can learn to fix these things. Mods, can...

Hey guys, just installed Heath's tow tune in my 96' after wanting to do so for years. I ran the GL4 program in my 95 and was very happy with it. Cant say the same with this reflash however. Ive had it in the truck for several days now using it around town, on the highway, both unloaded, and...

So for anyone who thinks a cooling system upgrade is a must for towing...I am running a 96 chevy with dual t-stats and factory equiped blade and clutch. All original with acdelco t-stats. Last two days have been 95-100deg here and I have been towing the excavator up and down interstate 95 with a...

Ok so I need some help here...I purchased a brand new TNR radio from the dealer that they had as a take-out. This is a non-lux unit part no. 15229287 What I am looking for is what map discs are compatable with this unit installed in my 06' silverado? I was told to contact the gmnavdisc.com...

Ok guys, I need a few opinions here.... 03 LB7 with 320K miles on the clock. Injectors have about 120K. I have been getting quite a bit of blue smoke at idle once the engine gets real warm, as in after running on the highway for a while. My first thought was injectors, but a balance test...

Has anyone purchased the duramax swap guide from over at "the page"? Im planning on doing an lb7 swap into my 95 in the future, but i want to start researching and part searching now. Just curious if anyone has bought it and their opinions. Thanks -Nick

Ok so i need someone to compare notes with....Ive been seeing some low pressures with my new fuel system set up. Im running a new walbro FRB-5 LP with a 30 micron racor pre-filter and the stock filter in the engine valley. I have my pressure tap right before the IP and have verified the...

Does anyone have the filter number for the aftermarket racor units? I believe mine was a 490R30. I replaced the racor filter with a napa filter, which I am now learning is only a 15micron filter. I was seeing some real low fuel pressures shortly after the filter change and I think this would...

So now that winter is back around, Ive had some time to work on my truck. We get so busy thoughout the year I dont have the time for anything but routine maintinence or emergency fixes. As always, Ive got a long list of things I want to do, but time will tell how much I can actually finish...

Ok guys, I started searching online for a kit containing the factory GM style plugs and Im a little overwhelmed now. Most of our trucks are say in the 95'-98' era. I cant seem to figure out if I should be buying a metripack kit? Or weatherpack? or something else? I would be looking for a full...
