    6.2 diesel remote start?

    Like mentioned above it is doable, biggest issue your going to have is setting the timing advance solenoid on the IP since it is set by pushing the throttle down. Dont know how youll get away from this issue. The remote start system i have on my 2006 duramax has a adjustable delay once it...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Just did the dmax filter conversion myself and was hoping someone had updated this thread with the electrical hookups. Whitfield and others have you guys got these hooked up? Im gonna go look in the manuals for wiring diagrams

    M1009 Glass Question

    I would highly suggest taking them out of the bags and letting them sit out spread out, unraveled, etc the best you can in the sun for a few hours

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    Ouch thats pretty crazy price at advance. Like CUCVRUS posted i would put that $800 into getting the OEM one recored and whatever over paying that much for a plastic tanked replacement. I was quoted $600 to have my OEM one redone.

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    Just went through this about a month ago with my m1009. I called EVERY WHERE and could only find 3 places with access to them, #1 ebay but could not confirm if it had oil cooler and transmission cooler and was very leery on the quality of it. I was expecting it to show up looking like Ray...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    Radiator has been replaced with a b850 autozone unit, very surprised when it showed up all aluminum. Did have some issues on install, top radiator mounts were not even close to thick enough and just let it flop around and the low coolant sensor would not fit. It had been a super long day and was...

    Drivers side window came out of regulator bracket

    Anyone else dver have the metal bracket attached to the bottom of the roll up windows pop off of the glass? My drivers side did recently. I tried using 3m weatherstrip adhesive in the channel then installing glass back in and leaving it rolled up for a few days with pressure against it but it...

    To doghead relay mod or delete relay all together and other electrical issues

    Yeah i wasnt too surprised when it stuck that time. Did it again today though on a warm startup so that relay is definetely going to be replaced.

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    Dont see any steam, excessive pressure in cooling system, or loss of any coolant so far so i feel like head gaskets are ok at this point. Attempted to do some more testing today but that got cut short after developing a small leak out of the middle of the radiator when i got into town today...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    I really need to get some sort of coolant temp gauge on this thing to be able to monitor, i hate these idiot lights. Mine has a brand new GM OEM thermostat and after i short drive around the block then idling for a half hr or so checking temps im pretty sure it wasnt up to thermostat open...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    Yes you are probably exactly right. My thought was possibly these aluminum cores are letting coolant flow through too quick and not disapate any heat and possibly restricting the flow some will increase the temp of the core. For example if they are a "single pass" where the copper core are "dual...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    These are setup with 2 different size hoses also. Being a heavy truck and equipment mechanic this was my exact thought process behind restricting the return line out of the heater core to the radiator. Never used the valves on the semi's in the winter, we just would shut them in the summer to...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    That is a fact. Did some testing today and let truck idle for a half hour or so after a short drive, i dont think the thermostat was fully open to be honest. It was low 20's outside. Shooting the heater hoses with a IR temp gun they showed between 105-115* about 6" out of the firewall...
