    just thinking here BUT!!!!!

    You'd have to do some serious design work to make this work anywhere close to right. Not to say that it couldn't be done... First off, Turbo's aren't free power. They make their power from exhaust back pressure. I really hate when people think that a blower uses more power than a turbo to...

    Home built coolant filter

    Is the filter any different than a plain Jane PH8a?

    Evans Coolant

    The fan on the 6 liter isn't controled by airflow over it like the older ones. This actually has an electrohydraulic clutch on it. The actual set point temperature escapes me at the moment, but I know it's in the bible, because I remember seeing a chart for it someplace in there. So the clutch...

    Bama: CCV MOD Pics ?

    I was gonna say... my God... that's sewer pipe! Other than if it's really hot, there shouldn't be any problems with that. and if done right, should be able to put the oil back in the engine.

    What is needed to service a 6.0 ?

    That would be him... the Jersey Dock worker... Everybody asks what would Reagan do, he asks, what would Hoffa do?

    Alternator Toast

    Actually I think heat is the biggest killers... it's usually the diodes that go out. Most silicon parts give up the ghost when the die hits 150C. That's why some of the big alternators have external regulators or diodes. The windings can take the heat, but the other stuff doesn't do nearly as...

    What is needed to service a 6.0 ?

    Yeah...you can thank our lovely gov Ed "the Suprano" Rendell for that... 75 cents a gallon taxes, and the SOB wants to tack another 25 on top of that! people in this state are retarded in every sense of the word. They actually voted this jackass in a second term they loved his taxes so much...

    By the way... that is bs that the turbo needs back pressure. A turbo, or any hydraulic motor for that matter is makes it's power from differential pressure. So in other words, if you have 20 psi on the feed side and 10 psi of back pressure, you are only effectively using 10 psi to do work. The...

    Alternator Toast

    The loads you're talking about are (uh.. should be) a drop in the bucket for what these trucks systems have to handle for a cold engine start. I hate to say it, but sounds like these alternators are garbage. I have the dual alts on mine factory, mostly because I wanted the second belt for...

    She whistles at me...

    Have you done any oil sampling? It might pay to have that done once just to make sure fluids are staying in their respective systems... That said, why screw around with this? You should still have factory warranty left, at the very least the 100k on the motor. Just take it in and let them...

    Engine getting louder?

    I doubt they'd all get worse at the same time. How many miles since a fuel filter change? you might be working on something in the injection system though, HPOP, ICP regulator, or one of those lovely fittings that like to crack. How many miles are on it now?

    Engine getting louder?

    different fuel formulation for the warmer weather maybe? Any change in mileage?

    Poor fuel delivery due to plugged fuel filters maybe? Need more info on the truck, miles, history, last filter change... etc.

    NOISE!

    Just don't let him take you too far off course, and then say well now you have to pay *** for it, when garage B might only charge half. It's a ***** yeah, but anymore it's what you have to do. I'm sure everybody can chime in here about how everyplace we work has some bonehead for a manager...

    Turbo Bang?

    Yeah, you will hear a dull thud when the compressor turns on sometimes... it has to do with the pump sucking fluid vs gas. This can also be caused by too much lube in the A/C system. My car would do it when it had too much gas and was hot outside. Has your a/c been serviced lately? You could...

    Any Ideas - Truck Down

    With the volumes of black smoke he was describing, I'm wondering if there was an EGR burp, or if it's getting junk information from one of the cam sensors and is trying to fire out of time. I guess my thought is if there isn't enough to fire the injectors, where's the smoke coming from? I'll...

    Help can't get out of 4th gear!

    Wow... if the battery voltage is low enough that the computer can't function correctly how the hell is it reading any engine functions, figuring out position, and firing fuel?? That is really REALLY bizarre... I had a 92 suburban squad truck shut down on us at a parade because the alternator...

    SCT tuner & plans to try to increase fuel mileage

    I'd submit it's not any different than SCT... if they're reprogramming the FICM, what's the difference? Unless they're completely redoing the software in there, and that's not a small task, I can't see how it can be any different or more reliable. Let's see what one can do on a dyno, or from...

    Just found out why my fuel mileage is junk (turbo carnage)

    You still have a mass airflow sensor don't ya? I mean, it's still in the pipe? If it's a bearing failure, i'd think you could wiggle the turbine around, a lot. Kinda looks in the pictures like there's a scored ring into the silencer ring. Might just be reflection, I can't tell. If that's the...
