    Back in Vegas

    Good to hear you got it running! If you were to do it over again would you have just pulled the engine? I am going to be tearing into this when I get my other pile out of the shop. Any advice that would make my job easier when I get to it would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Head stud install

    I am going to be installing head studs soon in my 86 6.9. My question is this. Can I install them with the engine still in the truck? It looks like there rear studs are going to be tough to install. While im on the subject could someone give me a part # from ARP for the studs. Thanks guys.

    Turbo my 6.9 or install 7.3 with turbo

    Ok so it appears that my decision is clear...thanks guys. How much will the turbo affect the longevity of the engine when compared to non-turboing it?

    hard starting when cold

    The wires all look to be in good shape. Interesting point on the temperature sensor. When I tried to start it the other morning I saw that the temp on the over head read like33 degrees, but I know damn well it was colder than that. I wonder if that is the problem...thanks again for any help.

    hard starting when cold

    2001 cummins is hard starting when cold. This is a pretty dumb question but how long should the manifold heater stay on when it is below 32 degrees. It will start fine when plugged in. When it is cold and not plugged in it will crank and fire 2 or 3 times before it will run, when it finally will...
