Someone randomly dropped off a 1988 Chevy K5 Blazer with a built 700R4 and built 350 TBI with headers at my local junkyard. It also has almost new 33” tires with Rally Rims. As soon as I saw it, I was on it like Donkey Kong! I offered scrap yard $500. Scrap yard said no. I said ok does it run...

Thanks for the advice! I will be doing the thermostat and gasket again after work!

Banks Pyrometer fitting installed on the Exhaust Manifold. Also installed the Banks rubber caps for the intake manifold. It’s design deletes the CDR hoses from going directly into the intake manifold. It is redesigned to go into the banks air filter housing.

Today I hooked up the custom 4 core 6.2 diesel radiator and started the Coolant Pressure testing. I pumped the pressure to 15 psi. She is leaking 1 psi per 5 minutes. So quiet I could not hear it. I used soapy water in a spray bottle and sprayed every single spot associated with the cooling...

The Thermostat showed up. The darn thing was $41... I installed it with a gasket and finger painted a light coat of Ultra Blue on both sides of the gasket since there was a lot of corrosion and pitting. Also I installed a coolant pressure gauge in place of the deleted glow plug temperature...

Thank you! I don’t drink much. Maybe 2 beers every other month. And the girls thang... That was back in my 20’s over a decade ago. Much older now and more settled in with a great woman! Under normal driving conditions, the stock glow plug system works fine. But I noticed when idling up rocks in...

I did a manual override push button switch years ago. Because of the override, it is to my understanding that I don’t need that sensor anymore? I’ll tell ya a story. There was this one time in Moab... 😂 I met up with a random group of Jeep’s and Toyota’s. I did not know anyone of them...

I took the injector lines off so it’s easier to clean up the intake holes. I’ll install the intake manifold after I do the coolant pressure test. I can not do the coolant pressure test until the thermostat shows up at the parts store. Hopefully tomorrow... I deleted the glow plug sensor. I...

Sweet! Let me know when you are all done!

Just sold!

I have an old new stock regulator for a manual rear window cucv m1009 for sale if you are interested?

ok thanks!

I believe this glow plug sensor is not needed since I have converted to a manual override switch? Just need confirmation? Thanks

Then I temporarily installed a 6.5 oil cooler with lines and driver side exhaust crossover. (Waiting on parts for the Passenger side) I found a fitting in the spare parts to block off the water crossover hole for the heater core hose. I cleaned up the turbos top oil filler fittings and put...

After getting the kids ready for school, I took a nice long nap! Lol! When I woke up, I cleaned the Garage and then installed the old used injector fuel return lines after cutting the ends to make them fit snug. They were special ordered years ago because they are heat resistant with fiber...

I bought a new alternator for the passenger side. I tried 3 higher amp alternators but they were too big and hit the banks turbo casing. Ended up doing the 105 amp as it’s the best fit. After running back and forth from the auto parts store about 6 times... I finally found the best fit Gates...

Knowing the 6.5 powering steering does not fit. I knew it would not fit without the 6.5 bracket. It was just a mock up to show you all. Anyhow, I installed the 6.2 powering steering pump from ORD (Off-road Design) and did a series of test fits with the different pulleys from the 6.5 parts. 6.5...

I mocked up the 6.5 powering steering pump and it does not fit without the 6.5 bracket. I installed the hard injection lines. I installed the return to fuel lines, lift pump hard line and bent them according to the Banks instructions.
