    Banks Turbo - I bit the bullet

    I think so... I love it. It really turned my truck in to a usable tool. A normally aspirated 6.2 is a slug.... at least mine was and only 30k miles. I have heard other guys state that you can get the same gains by just turning up the IP... I don't buy that. Zero pounds of boost and extra fuel...

    Banks Turbo - I bit the bullet

    Ask them about the deal they had earlier this year... $2179 shipped. They don't sell the 6.2 much anymore so any sale would be gravy... They make it to order essentially. I'll try to get some pictures in the next few days

    color code

    Anyone know what the color code is for the paint that is on the military Helos? I drove by our local HD dealer and there was a chinook and a blackhawk in the parking lot... they almost looked black. I think it was some sort of CARC but not sure... it was flat and very dark.

    oil pump

    Agreed... straws. @blzrgb - Trans pump is brand new. Replaced when I rebuilt it and inspected when they opened it up for the second time. Admittedly, I did the hardest thing first... but that seems to be in my nature. All of my vacuum lines are new. But no, I have not checked for leaks. I...

    oil pump

    Well, I went for the oil pump replacement. It was only $35 and it really isn't that hard. Honestly, I don't know what could really fail in this pump... maybe the spring or pressure relief valve...?? After changing the pump.. the sound is still there. So now I have a spare pump. Now that it...

    oil pump

    Well that was sort of the point of m question... I don't know where this sound is coming from. I just had the tranny rebuilt so I took it back to the shop ... they tore it back open and could only find that the new torque converter was failing... they replaced that plus several bearings and the...
