Hello all, I have a quick question about lower intake selection as I button up my turbo addition. I am using all GM parts from a 96 6.5l I bought and rebuilt. The intake that was originally with my M1008 was the dual plane one, the intake that came on the 6.5l turbo was the single plane one. Is...

Hello, after help from a fellow member, I sourced a precup for the one I found cracked. I know how to remove the old one, but is there any special way to install the new one? My initial thought would be to simply use a piece of hardwood on the cup and pound it into place. Does this sound...

I have recently built a new 6.5l NA motor. I am having some smoke out of the pass. side of the motor and a slight tick both at idle and while under acceleration. The smoke is slightly bluish in color and is most noticeable while under acceleration. When I let off the accelerator, the smoke seems...

Ican not remember the name, but I had gotten a small "patch" that I paced on the bottom of the oil pan, it is the type of thing they use for aircraft that they place on the wings to keep the fuel warm. It keeps the oil in the pan warm somewhat when I go to start it, the oil is already a lil...

When I went with an electric pump, I just bought a pump from a 93 I believe diesel van. I placed the pre fiter assembly under the skid plate just in front of the fuel talk on the inside of the frame. It all fit perfect and has worked great so far. I simply wired it through a relay connected to a...

Hello, I needed to replace the inst. cluster on my 85 M1008 and while mine worked fine, I kept the speedometer that came with the new cluster because it has less miles on it and in Indiana, on a truck of this age, the milage listed on the title is simply exempt. I noticed on my first drive...

Hello and thank you all for your input! I bought 2 and put them on the rear, I just bought 2 so if I didn't care for them, I had not invested as much. So far, after several hundred miles, I am very pleased. They balanced out nice, not a lot of weight needed and so far, in town and on the...
