    Intake choice

    In general the dual plane has more bottom end torque,the single plane more top end power on a NA engine,either route you take I would gasket match the intake ports,short work with a dremel tool.On a turbo motor I cant say which is better,but I imagine GM used the single plane for a reason.

    The 1/0 gauge cable I have been using is described as 5145 strands of tinned oxygen free copper,is oxygen free copper a sales gimmick? Or is there a difference.The 4/0 gauge they sell is listed at 10,000 plus strands of same stuff.Holy cow that's some serious cable!

    m1028 wont start

    Whats the legal driving age in Illonois?

    Issue starting, I think it may have to do with glow plugs.

    If it got gradually worse I would be thinking glowplug cascade failure,due to bad 24v to 12v resistor feeding glowplug solenoid.

    And with an auto you can drive and eat an icecream cone!

    Crickets driving me nuts

    Did the op edpdx ever solve the chirping problem? I thought mainsail solved the problem by tightening fuel tank skid plate and rear seat latch? My 86 1009 is chirping now,so wondering.

    Good to hear of a happy purchase.When I bought my 86 1009 I was so pumped for it to get delivered,then really upset when it got delivered.I bought it online trusting picts. and seller,and never again.
