    Got a turbo! Now the hard part.

    The most common thing to do is lose the mech lift pump and put an electric one on and then use the plate with return tube that goes in it's place. I think Banks made one in thier later kits that may have let you keep the mech lift pump or so I have heard. I think the mech lift pump suck anyway...

    Got a turbo! Now the hard part.

    Yes. 6.5 TD F Intake is the non egr. S intake is egr. You could use and s intake and block it off but the F is better if you can get one. They are not that hard to find.

    Still can't find a short and it does it so randomly that it's hard to chase down. can the circut boards be bought new ? I'm thinking maybe I should change that and see what happens ? I bought a set of KC's to put on the grill guard as backup. No fun driving home at night and the truck blacks...

    Got a turbo! Now the hard part.

    use an F intake of a 6.5. You will need a spacer for the ex manifold or I have heard you can use short inj from a 6.5, I'll let you know. Be doing it soon.

    Wipers slow

    My wipers are really slow and don't change speed with the switch. There was a 3 capacitor harness that was disconnected that went inline with the wiper motor. I tried hooking it back up but no difference. My father is a retired Air force radio tech and said that those were a filter. So is the...

    Failed turbo install

    Wow. I'm going to put a 6.5 Turbo setup on mine. Luckily there is a custom high end ex shop near me. They did a custom 4 inch mandrel bent for my Diesel Tahoe. would it have been worth it just to order the 4x4 crossover from Banks ?

    BTW The lights did not cut out so hopefully wiring them back to original fixed what ever made them cut out.

Basically the right switch up is regular lights or "service Lights" Middle pos right switch, all lights dead. Right switch down now enables blackout mode to be used. Then pull left switch...

    CUCV run on bio-diesel? CUCV vs Deuce questions..

    Might want to consider upgrading the Lift Pump from the mech one. A walbro FRB5 works good with veggie. If you have the coin Raptor 100 is even better.

    CUCV run on bio-diesel? CUCV vs Deuce questions..

    Bio Diesel eats the factory fuel lines. You will need Viton. I would no do it in a cold climate but I have heard of people running veg successfully in a 6.2. It needs to be filtered very very well. Also if there is any crap in the fuel tank you will loosen it up.
