    And once the last screw is in, it won't need painted Nice fixture. Very creative.

    Torque specs on oil filter adapter bolt?

    Where does the crush washer go? I had my adapter on and off a few times and have no memory of it.

    My new shop

    Nice! Will you run a vertical post or two in an area where you can set really heavy things? Near the area where a vise would be for example. ...or get really slick and make up a couple fold down legs that can swing down when needed but are up out of the way otherwise.

    '95 Engine build

    Timing gears offer a significantly different sound. This is going to take some getting used to.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    I drove it. That's all. First time since about August 2022.

    Fluid Film is your friend if you plan to drive it in the salt. Welcome to the forum!

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    I think if the build wasn't done by a well known reputable builder, he is going to have a very hard time selling for that kind of money. If by a recognized name on here or a couple other forums and he could prove what was done, then they might fetch a reasonable price.

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    If it is red, doesn't that make it a P400?

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    Are you sure that isn't the "Sidewinder" you're referring to rather than "Stinger"? @Husker6.5

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    I am not sure the 3" is correct for my 2-1/2" downpipe. Need to research more I guess.

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    I am indeed using stock manifolds. The Banks Stinger system I mentioned is the downpipe and rearward, not the manifolds.

    I found this adapter for this turbo swap. https://rudysdiesel.com/i-30522361-rudys-v-band-holset-hx35-turbo-direct-pipe-adapter-for-gm-6-5l-turbo-diesel.html?q=6.5+holset What other parts will be necessary? Supply hose connector? Drain adapter of some sort? I have a 2-1/2" downpipe I...

    Cub 154 lowbboy.

    When I was little, dad had a cub mower and my uncle put it in gear for me to let me drive it around the yard. I pulled up to the shop to get off when I was done, thinking the clutch pedal I had been riding the whole time was the gas pedal, so naturally, I let off of it when it was time to stop...

    6.5 cylinder head leaking

    Was that the passenger side head?

    My new shop

    if you end up with white ceiling and white walls, you will be surprised how bright it will be. Dad's old shop had black wallboard on both and it was awful. New shop has white all over and 3 rows of lights. We normally only have one row on at a time depending on where we are working. Turn...

    My new shop

    Lights on the wall are fine if it is a paint booth but I can think of no other reason to have them on a wall. There are some in our shop at work and they are blinding half the time. Dad has some in his tool shed and they are blinding half the time. If you think you want them on the wall, I...

    Timing -1.94?

    I'm not doing the timing myself but am having a guy come over to do so. I was trying to remember what the ideal setting was. Mine was at -1.85 and I didn't have any complaints about it. If there is nothing detrimental to the engine then I'm fine with either I suppose. I don't have a factory...
