    Super low buck filtering

    I think I need to invest in/build some kind of fuel heater considering my heater on the feed line tothe filter has been dead since purchase. I have noticed, during the colder months, my truck likes to idle after a cold start for about 20 mins or so for ideal fueling/running conditions. Letting...

    yup.mines real slow.

    Makes plenty of sense. Seeing as how anemic our factory hp rating are vs a pretty decent torque rating, let the torque do the heavy lifting and the ponies will somewhat follow suit. I get a lot more out of each gear with the 3.55 ratio. I also don't mind winding the engine to the moon when it's...

    Super low buck filtering

    Nevermind the summer mix question. What about winter? Does 50/50 work in temps below 40 deg Fahrenheit on your rig? My rear tank leaks so I don't have a way to switch to straight diesel (or close enough) for winter starting and shutoff. I hope to have my rear tank swapped by winter but if I...

    Super low buck filtering

    Great thread! I work as a mech for a garbage company and have no shortage of available WHO. We have a cycler with 5 micron and 1 micron filter heads complete with filter minders, also has a third canister for water separation. It's called the Filtration Station but I can't remember who...

    Rear tank sending unit??

    Other option, yank out the sender and have it cleaned and have a new tube TIG welded in place if you don't have the ability to TIG it yourself.

    yup.mines real slow.

    My '87 with a slushbox was a pig. Dropped in a ZF and 3" exhaust and she woke up a bit. Had 285's and 4:10's. My '84 has all my goodies from from the '87 except 3.55's spinning 285's. This truck has way more cojones. It seems to me that diesels in general like to "tug" against the gears. At...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    After helping a buddy with some issues on his '92 6.9 project, I traded him my dually hubs, 3" rear wheel spacers and my god-awful flat-spotted 37" military MT's on HMMWV 12 bolts for his standard hubs and 285/75r16 BFG AT/KO's on MB Razor 16x8's. Today on the way to work, heard a CLANK and then...

    clutch fan time...hayden?

    I honestly don't remember, all I know is the parts guy said his computer told him it was the equivalent to OEM spec. OEM my a!! This goes both ways, with some guys getting a perfectly good Hayden right off the shelf with no issues. This would be the second vehicle in 10 years where a Hayden has...

    load E 37s for the idi build

    X2 on the military MT!!!!!!!!! I'm trading my 37" military MT's for a set of 315/75r16 BFG all terrains this coming Sunday. They won't keep balance for anything and they just plain SUCK in the snow. I've had em down to 3 psi in some rocks last weekend and the sidewalls won't flex and conform to...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    It is beautiful here. I moved up from Sacramento 15 years ago and never looked back. Sounds like water/meth will be the way to go until I can feed her some more air. It would be worthwhile to leave it installed even after the addition of a turbo. Thanks again for the conversation. It's much...

    Rear tank sending unit??

    Www.lmctruck.com has em. Last I checked the rear tank senders were in stock and the front tank senders were three weeks out.

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    Ok so...water/meth and bump up another half flat or just water/meth? I have it bumped a half flat from stock already with a pyro. Is WM gonna cool down my in-cyl temps enough to justify the increase in diesel? As it is I've never had EGT's above 1000 and it's struggle to get my coolant temp over...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    I'm in between Pollock Pines and Camino, Hwy 50. Gorgeous area! So you know what terrain I'm driving in You know, last time I headed down to Folsom for my kids dr appt it was like driving a whole new truck! Gotta love that thick air down on the valley floor. I'm glad you brought up...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    I understand the principles behind forced induction and if could afford a $500 ATS takeoff I'd run 50 miles to go get it if I had to! Believe me, adding more fuel in any way is not my first choice for a power adder, be it diesel or propane. Not a big fan of NO2 either. I have all of the parts...

    clutch fan time...hayden?

    I wasn't happy at all with a Hayden clutch. Friggin thing wouldn't come on unless I pulled a huge hill, loaded, temps up near 240 and even then I had to pull over, idle for 30 sec or so and THEN it could come on. I got a Horton through work and will never go back unless it's OEM. The Horton...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    Yeah, I yanked it off a Cummins L10. I didn't do a helluva lot of research into the mods the stroker guys had done before adding the H2E. Problem is, unless I get the chance to demo a truck with a smaller engine/turbo I won't be coming across any free boost anytime soon. I figured that if I...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    Also, anyone have dyno numbers for a propane-fogged N/A engine? I like Ziggsters setup and have gathered almost everything needed. It's simpler than a turbo setup and I'd only use it for hill pulling, trailers and hauling firewood off the mountain. Kinda on the fence with the whole turbo deal...

    Holset H2E on a 6.9????

    Hey folks. I demolished an old roll-off truck a few weeks back and saved a few things for my truck, like the DAVCO heated FWS canister, some goodies to do a CDR block-off and RDT conversion, also nabbed the Holset H2E turbo. Not sure of the AR specs and Gooble hasn't been any help with a...

    Calling all hydro-boost users

    Yep. Riotwarrior did a kick-ass write up on pedals an brackets that you SHOULD ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW TO THE TEE! Unlike some other hard-headed members of this board  Search TECH 101 and riotwarrior for the thread. Also, something to think about...when I built my hydroboost I teed the returns...

    Calling all hydro-boost users

    The post for the brake booster rod will be about 3/4" too low for the hydro booster. You'll need to source a brake pedal from a truck that had hydroboost when it left the factory or....cut the post off your pedal on and weld it back to the pedal so the booster rod sits level and not at a...

    Alright folks, he's road ready!! PICS PICS PICS

    Made some more progress over the last week, cleaned up the chrome, RhinoLiner for an exterior covering and started sourcing interior parts in Saddle Tan!! That blue doesn't suit my tastes.

    Alright folks, he's road ready!! PICS PICS PICS

    The ride is 100% better than my old truck, especially with ProComp shocks on all four corners. The Goodyear Military MT's gotta go though. They won't keep a balance for anything and I can barely hold 50mph without the truck feeling like its gonna bounce off the road. I'm trading them for some...

    Alright folks, he's road ready!! PICS PICS PICS

    Not blocks, it's a kit sold by Superlift. It was purchased and installed by the previous owner. 2 new main leaves, 4 smaller leaves tapering down towards the axle with the longest being around 11". I've never seen such a thing but they're centerpinned to the leaf packs. That's what ya get for a...

    Frank's getting parted out, what remains will most likely retire to my buddy's truck mausoleum. I'll post parts in the For Sale section unless someone wants to return him to service.
