    Cooling system flush and radiator restoration

    Are either of these acids harmful to new gaskets? I'm in the middle of resealing and repainting my engine and I was wanting to flush the water jackets pretty good as I noticed a good bit of scaling (I'm assuming that's the white/green flaky stuff on the jacket walls) I'm not so much worried...

    Valve kiss..

    So I broke a head bolt when pulling my heads, as some of you may know, and I ended up pulling the block out of the truck to go ahead and completely reseal the engine and have room to extract the broken bolt. Long story short and a few beers later we broke an extractor, striped another one, and...

    Exhaust mani torque sequence and a few more?...can't find

    I've been searching high and low on google and this forum looking for torque specs and sequences. I have found just about everything I need and then some...but I'm missing a few. I still need to find the torque sequences for the valve covers (not sure if its really that important, I was just...

    C6 auto..reliability?

    My buddy that has the T-19 said it is gonna go to scrap sooner or later if I don't take it...I'm considering getting it and going through it a little bit since it has been sitting out for so long and then tossing it in my truck...then I'd have a manual.

    C6 auto..reliability?

    Yea my 6.9 sounds like its about to blow whenever I have it maxed out on the highway. I pulled a 2012 F-250 on a bumper pull trailer about 20 miles to the shop and it didn't really wanna do more than 55-60 MPH because of how tall third gear is I guess. It pulled and shifted great up until...

    C6 auto..reliability?

    What is the governor set at on these injection pumps? At the governor i was doing about 80-85 but the speedo is a little fast. So what your saying is that the 4 speed and the C6 don't differ much in final gear ratios? I haven't had the chance to look into it. I'm sure my driving didn't help...

    C6 auto..reliability?

    Mine never got better than like 11-12 MPG...I wonder if I don't have the 4.10's. I have an 89' F-350 with a 460 and a ZF5 and that is the one I had planned on using in the future but as low as the gears are in those I wonder if highway speeds are attainable without too high of RPM's for...

    Bull Moose vs. R&D pumps

    After I get everything done to my truck and put back together (bull moose, moose misters, factory turbo, resealed, etc...) my brother runs a diesel performance shop and has a mobile dyno...I'll sweet talk him into letting my dyno my truck so y'all can have some numbers regarding the Moose setup...

    Bull Moose vs. R&D pumps

    I figure turbo upgrade will be down the line...already dumping too much money in it as it is but, again, it is going to be a daily driver and I don't want problems.
