    Uneven brake pad wear

    I did some hunting around online and found one other possibility. the master might be a cause. the brake might not be releasing all the way. a hair drag on the one side. the best suggestions were either a temp check(IR temp gun) or to see if one wheel drags more after a drive to warm things up.

    Uneven brake pad wear

    could it be something like a bad line bend(design flaw) not letter the flow through? or the possibility of the ABS/proportioning valve do the same thing? I does seem odd the wear one side but not get a bad pull from it. do the rears wear the same way?

    ubuntu vs xp.

    the ssd are nice but the interface is still limited by the ide controller. the other big question is how well do they like the warm/ cold shock. for me tech support is easy. you just gotta know the right people. the other option is the leave the current hdd there and swap the DVD out for a...

    ubuntu vs xp.

    I've got w7 on the desktop. I can't say I'm a fan out it. 3x the crap that I never use. my laptop is used like a work truck, simple to use no bells or whistles. the one I'm using now is an older toughbook. it's be 'tested' more that one once for durability.

    ubuntu vs xp.

    I need to change/upgrade the hard drive in the laptop. current setup is with xp. It's only has a 1.6ghz processor and about 1.5 gigs of ram. Right now space is the biggest issue, it's only got a 20gig hdd in it. so the big question is, which would be better on the reinstall(larger hdd))...

    90 wiring diagram

    I think he's referring to a 1990 pickup. is the 6.5(DB2) a copy of the 6.2 wiring wise? there are only 8 wires or so for the engine itself.

    1982 6.2 injector options

    I may have missed it, what are you using to power the pump? toggle, relay setup, or tapped off something else? just wondering if you let the pump run first it would eliminate the possible drain back issue.

    Low Coolant Light

    the ground your hunting for doesn't exist anymore. the rad itself was the ground. try running a ground wire right to the sensor body itself.

    1982 6.2 injector options

    that fuel dumping valve is actually the valve for the two tanks. it should have 6 lines in total on it. 3 sets of lines(1 supply and 1 return). one from each tank and one set from the engine side. and yes they can leak. it also controls the signal for the fuel gauge.

    6.2 a number of new issues!

    Will is right. a bad connection cause all sorts of starting a running problem. don't forget for the hydroboost setup to chech the power steering fluid level and belt condition. don't forget to check the rear brakes to for binding or bad return springs.

    Adjusting timing on injection pump - which way to turn for what?

    not hard to move you just need to loosen the 3 bolts holding it. they're a 15mm wrench. just a light nudge will do it.

    exhaust help needed for a 6.2/6.5 setup

    I was running a stock Gm turbo. There are a few members that are running the HX40 turbo that'll be able to answer your clamp question. I just used a foot or so of stock pipe and it was flex pipe after that.

    exhaust help needed for a 6.2/6.5 setup

    the down pipe is a hard one to fit, or should I say find a space for it. I ended up running mine down between the inner fender and the firewall.

    is that the oil pump seal leaking right behind the fuel filter cannister?

    there is a seal back there. it's where a distributor would be on a gasser. I can't think of what sensor is it there now. it's just a flat round seal. about 1.5 inches in diameter.
