I have a GMV with the 6.5 NA and 480LE, just installed new heads and injectors , running great. I have a 6.5 turbo in crate, no history on motor, Iron planet auction. It's a gep block, sent the heads out for magnflux, no cracks, ordered a gasket kit and sending out the ip pump for testing and...

She lives again. The new injectors really woke it up. Had a small drip at the injector pump crows foot and two wobble extensions and a 16th tighten and it went away. The snap on digital torque wrench did its job, that was the only drip. Sitting at idle now and it’s Just below 220 after a...

The turret roof is for mock up. I’m press braking a new roof in aluminum and tig ing the center seam. I have most of the original b post right to the point that they put hydraulic cutters to it. .

I hear ya, but I cant leave anything stock. This one was an original paint long bed step side, it pained me to cut it up and shorten it, but when the plasma cutter is just sitting there beside it you commit. LOL.
