    What’s the scoop with Heath Diesel?

    So I finally got around to working on my poor 6.5 that had an unfortunate encounter with a pregnant whtietail few years ago. As part of the rebuild, I’m planning to send my ecm back to Heath for a re-tune. When I called, the recording said something about being a ‘Dieselsite’ company. Checked...

    WTB: Rancho 4" lift for 88-98 K2500/3500

    I'm looking for a 4in Rancho RS6469 lift kit for my 99 one ton. They are out of production so maybe someone knows where one is. I'll buy a whole rig to get the lift if its the right deal.

    What the hell did I buy? Holset HX40...

    This turbo came up on a police seized asset auction. Don't know anything about it beyond what you see here. What did I buy? Is it worth modding for my 6.5, or should I just re-sell it and get something else? I'd like to do a CKO HX40II turbo except without the China Knock Off part. Doesn't...

    Anyone try the Hurricane 7 wheel?

    So I know that Heath can be all over the place sometimes with the parts they sell. Offering one thing and then dropping it in favor of something else or just forgetting about it all together. But I do think that they try to offer good stuff to us for an engine that everybody else has forgotten...

    Pathetic Towing performance...

    Long story short...I pulled a trailer from Houston to Denver and was disappointed with the pickup the whole way. Any help from the crowd to get this corrected would be greatly appreciated! To give you some info to work with, It's the '99 in my signature. I was fairly happy with the way it ran...

    6.5L Injector tester KENT MOORE!

    I have an extra KM injector tester for sale. I bought it but later found one new in the box! I haven't had a chance to use it but I see no reason it wouldn't work. Nice units, if you've never seen one in person. Perfect for setting your own custom pop pressure! Looking for $350.

    6.5L .030 Pistons/Rods 18:1 Marine!

    I have a used set of low compression pistons attached to factory rods. They aren't new, but still very useable. I can't recall the brand right now and I don't have pics yet, but when I get home I'll get that info for anybody who's interested. I was planning to use them but can't justify it...

    Glowplug controller freaking out? Or normal operation?

    My GPs have been doing something unusual the last couple days. Previously, when I would start the girl up the GP light would come on about 3 or 4 times for 3 seconds each. That's what I know as 'normal'. The last couple days after I start it, the light stays lit for 6-8 seconds, just one...

    Can I get some help from my Canadian friends?

    Long story short, I need some VW injectors from Canada. Over in the Performance section we're talking about dual stage injectors and I'd like to get my hands on one...or maybe 8! Just to play around with. The Canadian VWs from 92-97(I believe) came with them. They were used in cars with...

    Aquamist-good, bad, or ugly?

    I've found an Aquamist system for sale and wondered if anybody had experience with them. Is it worth my time and money? Or should I pass and do something else?

    Exhaust flange and bolt part numbers

    Does anybody happen to know the Walker part numbers for the exhaust crossover flanges and bolts? I can't seem to find anything, but I need to order them so they are here when my crossover shows up. A couple threads specify the bolt dimensions, but I wonder if there's a PN for them. Thanks.

    Split shot injectors?

    So I'm planning to rebuild my injectors in the next few weeks and reading about that has shown me 'split shot' injectors. Bosch made some mechanical split shots for mercedes and VW. Knowing that some of the parts are (almost) interchangeable, would it be beneficial to try to come up with split...

    Direct injected 6.5 development. Any news?

    A year or two ago there was some talk about GEP working on a DI 6.5L project. Possibly with a new injection system as well. Just wondered if anybody has heard anything new. Id like to see this happen, but I dont know if Id be in the market to buy one if it did make it to market.

    Thoughts on a T04E14?

    Ive always wondered about the turbo from a 6.6/7.8 'brazilian' ford sixer. Ive learned its a Garrett T04E14 with a couple different exhaust housings avaliable. One is for sale near me with a 0.7 A/R compressor and 1.0 turbine.(some have a 1.32 turbine) What I know about turbos could be learned...

    Custom factory keyless entry options...

    So here's my fancy idea. I have factory keyless entry on both my 97 and 99. The remotes have 2 buttons, lock and unlock. The suburbans/tahoes/blazers from the same period have a third button for rear door/hatch. Why can't I use a S/T/B reciever/remotes and wire the 3rd function to a remote...

    Walking J Designs?

    Any one know the whereabouts of Patrick at WJD? I placed an order 3 weeks ago and still haven't seen anything. I sent two emails and left a voice message about the status of my order and I have yet to hear back. Is everything OK over there? Anybody know what the problem is?

    Which CDR is prefered?

    I'm at the point in my build where I need to make a decision about which style CDR to run. My '99, of course, has the 'valve cover' style which I will refer to as a 6.5L CDR. I know some guys have gone to the 'fill tube' style, which I will refer to as a 6.2L CDR, in an effort to suck less oil...
