Sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup. I've often drempt of being able to do 65 without fear of my motor blowing up. And being able to hit the road and expect more than 14 mpg... Give us an update with what kind of mileage you wind up getting. I'm really curious, as I have a 2" lift and...

I'm in Great Falls. I'd definitely try to make it! depends on work, wife, goings on, etc.

I put a 6.5 Turbo on my 6.2 (M1031). As far as the exhaust goes, you will need to build a cross over pipe from the outlet on the drivers side manifold, to the manifold on the passenger side. Then you will need to send your exhaust out of your turbo, through your fender well. You will named to...

That's exactly what I did; a 40A relay. Use your wife's bobby pins and you can remove the terminals from the plastic connector, and slide them right on a bosch 40A relay. Not sure how many amps the starter relay actually draws, but the one on my '93 6.5L I measured at about 10A. Being a 24V...

Sorry, must have missed that when I read through. I was mainly wondering about the proportioning valve. I did a conversion on a first gen Cummins without replacing the proportioning valve and it worked fantastic! Pedel effort was cut in half and it would stop like nothing! ...until I warped the...

Looks great so far! The brakes in the back: are those calipers off the front end of a 3/4 ton? If so, what kind of proportion valve set up are you going to use?

Looks like it was an awesom trip. Love the pics of just the blazer. MPG and MPH???

Thanks for all the Info! And you're right, it is easy to see why the circuit gets overloaded. The second best way to overcome this (aside from periodically inspecting/cleaning connections) is to add relays to power both Low and High beams. By bypassing the switch and extra several feet of...

LOVE IT! Likely because I have almost the exact same set up on my M1031. I have the old KM's in the exact same size and 2.5" springs in front and 2" blocks in the back. A hair taller, but what's 1/2 to 1 inch? Due to the u bolts I had floating around, my nuts are on top, like you were talking...
