So I'm coming up on 100,000 since I changed my injectors. I bought the 40 HP injectors from Heath diesel last time. I went on his website and he wants $1200 for the same injectors. Not going to happen. Where is everyone buying injectors nowadays?Was wondering if anyone has used the PDI...

So my son has a 83 K5 with a 6.2L and a turbo on it. He can run his 6.2L injectors, lines and injection pump until he gets the Moose Jr. pump correct? From what I've researched the injector lines from the 2001 6.5L won't work with the mechanical Moose Jr. 6.5 pump. Is that correct?

My son has a 1983 Jimmy with a 6.2L that has been turbo'd since new. Was wondering if we can put 6.5L heads, and keep his injectors and manifold and run either an ATT or one of the HX hybrids? Don't want to run a 6.5L turbo manifold because I'm pretty sure it will hit A/C accumulator or...

Was just wondering what people are having good luck with for lift pumps. About every 2 years I'm buying another Walbro lift pump and thats only about 10-15,000 miles. I hardly drive this truck. I don't run any bio, just reg #2 diesel. I put one in probably 5-6 years ago and about a year and...

I need a 2006 f250 shortbed transported from Ca to Pa. Its the bed only. 6.5'

I acquired 2 6.5L engines. First one is 12555506 and date code is F130. But it doesn't have 506 stamped in the valley like the other one. So I'm thinking June 13, 2000? This one the cam bolt was loose and the injection pump gear was hanging there. So I pulled the timing chain off and the...

So about 20K miles ago my front cover started leaking a little coolant. I pulled the front cover off, ended up replacing the timing chain, water pump, and drive belt while I was there. Bought a GMB water pump. Have used them in the past on other vehicles and never had a problem. The next oil...

Anyone ever monitor engine oil temps while towing? I remember reading an article in Maxxtorque about Duramax oil overheating and they used a bigger or addtional engine oil cooler to help and it helped coolant temps. Was just wondering if cooling down our oil would help some of the engine...

I have a crew cab 1999 K2500 OBS and am sick of my kids needing run cords up front to charge their phones or tablet while we're driving. I never use my ash trays in the back doors. So I bought 2 USB charging ports, grabbed some plastic, and painted them to match the interior, There is already...

Installed a RCD 6" lift on my truck. Happy how it turned out. Just need to modify my trans. crossmember to do the torsion bar relocaters. I'll like it a lot more when the torsion bars aren't hanging down. I didn't do the full 6" It's almost 5". CV angles still look good. Drives awesome...

So a month ago we went camping and my lift pump was acting up and not working sometimes. On the way home we had an uphill climb and then a downhill 7% grade for about 4 miles. On the downhill I put it in 3rd gear and about 1/4 a mile into the downhill it started surging bad, 2500-2800 bucking...

Bought a Walbro last april and a month and a half ago I noticed it wasn't coming on with the wait to start light sometimes. Sometimes it would come on for a couple seconds and the wait to start light would be on for a few more seconds after. Sometimes it worked like it should. But every time...

My daughters 83 Jimmy has a turbo on it, and I feel like I noticed a difference when I did the FTB and Walbro lift pump on my 6.5L. So I was wondering if anyone has done it on a 6.2L with a turbo, and if it was worth it?

A couple years ago my daughter picked up a 83 Jimmy with a turboed 6.2L It was kind of lacking power and smoking some at idle and when you would get on it. The truck had an electric lift pump on it that was dead. I put on a new lift pump and all was good. Power was pretty descent, the...

I have a friend of mine that has wanted my truck for a while now. And he has offered me $11,000 for my truck. So when I laughed thinking he was joking, he said no, I have cash money for it. He said he has always loved my truck since I bought it and the truck is still like brand new even...

Just wondering if people are running 5w/40 in their trucks. And if so was the oil pressure any lower with it vs. 15w/40. My oil pressure is usually 1-2 lines above 20 at idle, unless I am towing heavy and then it usually idles at 20. Was just wondering because I was thinking of switching to...

I read a thread online about frame beaming on the GMT800 trucks, so I looked into it a little more and there was a guy who did a write-up on putting the hydraulic body mounts(2 rear mounts only) from a 2011 on up in the GMT400 body style. Cost me $150 for the 2 rear mounts, insulators, and...

So, I was reading through my old MAXXTORQUE magazines and found a Q&A about this exact thing and it says it's probably an injection pump. is there anything else it can be? It started out by doing it once every 6 months or so. Then it went to every couple months, now it's usually every week or...

May 2011 I did an oil sample on my truck. Lead was in the green at 5. In Nov. 2011 it was 18. I finall sent in my oil from Feb. 2012 and now it is in the yellow at 29. What would cause lead to be high besides a bearing. Kind of making me nervous now. I didn't think anything of it when I...

Wanted to say thanks to Slim Shady, Patric, and everyone else involved in the ATT. I wish I would have done it when they first came out. I installed it on Thurs. and drove it a couple days and took it down to see some family 150 miles away. I could not believe how less labored the engine felt...
