Bradl I prefer the old dd starters, replace yours with a new one and get your old one rebuilt for a spare.

Rain stopped, sun came out, 70 degrees. Grabbed a peice of cardboard to lay on and got my bilstein shocks installed. 009232 front, 009331 rears, I like them.

Compared to what? I like the 6.2 because it's so easy to work on !

when you converted the oil cooler to the transmission cooler what fittings did you use? Tubing to A/N compression fittings?

Yes,12v. I would pick up a core online somewhere, usually run 50-100$.

This forum shouldn't be about proving points, but about sharing mechanical experiences with our beloved cucv,s

Same symptoms I had last August, I replaced everything in the fuel system, it ended up being the injection pump.I suspected someone dumped something in my fuel tank, so the first thing I did was replace the tank,sending unit, fuel lines,lift pump, fuel filters and injectors. The smoking loud...

Not sure if it is true but a local diesel mechanic told me to avoid power source additives for 6.2s, he claimed that it strips the lubricity out of the fuel, I only run stanadyne or howes additive now.

I have read that a lot of the late 6.5 td motors didn't have an oil cooler in the radiator, I plan on just running a b&m 70266 cooler bypassing the radiator altogether.But I would like to use the oil cooler side to run my transmission fluid thru before a b&m 70273 auxiliary cooler, so if you get...

If the coolant temperature at rear cylinders is 190-195 there would be no reason to do the bypass upgrade,the rear cylinders run much higher than the temperature gauge and thermostat on front of the motor.

Found something different tonight, four seasons # 84908. Would make a DIY rear head bypass easier or give you an extra sensor port.

Painless wiring # 80116,use the red/power on firewall and put the black/ground one under dash for additional grounds.

Found my vacuum pump to be pulling only 8 lbs, installed spare pump in 10 minutes, all is well. 1st to 2nd at 15 mph 2nd to 3rd at 28mph partial throttle.

Hot coolant runs thru heater core summer or winter, there is no shut off valve when it's warm out.

It's more about taking heat from where you want it the least and routing it to where you would want it the most.

Thanks, informative, not sure if I believe the power increase with the fuel additive. The dyno test I want to see is a 6.2 with stock exhaust vs a 6.2 with Stan's headers!

Do as doghead stated above, definitely do the doghead relay upgrade. And keep track of battery voltage. I also always have a spare 24v dd starter on hand.

With all due respect mine are.

Input welcome.

Front and rear differentials are geared the same ratio.
