Ive seen 6.2's go 250k before. The main problem with them is the injector pumps usually need rebuilding at about 100k. There is a website called "the dieselpage" (not sure of the exact website name),which has alot of info on these motors and all the tips and tricks. I had a 6.2 turbo in a crew...

I drove around with my bed off last year and you can see the axles shifting side to side while driving down the road. In one of the manuals it states how much play is supposed to be between the spring and the plate for side to side movement.

Ive seen good running motors in the can go for $500 several times. I think a fair price is between $500-750 tops for a good runner. Some people are smoking crack trying to sell them for $3000 a pop. GL has them pop up in quantity from time to time and they usually go for under $500 in unknown...

Looks great! Gotta love that 20 ton air assist jack! Cant wait to see the whole truck finished. I like the tread of those tires, are they tubeless?

This place has ALOT of good stuff. The prices are pretty good but their customer service is pretty bad depending on what mood the owner is in. I called ahead to get 2 windshields for my duece and offered to pay for them over the phone and have them sitting ready for me to pick up. The owner or...

I'd take a set of those adapters!

M35A2Cowner, How did you put spin on filters on your truck? I like the idea of that.

Can you drill a little hole through the handle and the shaft then hammer a roll pin in there? Cheap easy fix.

Does the "410 CFM" stamped on the stock paper filter mean that it is only good for 410 cfm of air flow?

It would be interesting to see the filter canister vacuum readings with a K&N air filter and aslo the charge air temperature readings before and after a K&N filter.

You would have to actually look at it. Most all turbos can be rebuilt or just replaced. It could just be leaking oil on the oil return line or supply line or you could have seals inside that are going bad allowing some oil into the intake. I wouldnt be too concerned with a leaking turbo if the...

That is some really great info! Once again, another successful experiment by Cranetruck! Now I will stop daydreaming of a big FMIC on my duece.

I left him in Filmore, Ca which is about 25miles from the base at 3:30pm and he drove through rush hour traffic on the 210 and 10 fwy in stormy weather. By 7:15 pm he had only gotten to the 10/15 interchange which normally would have taken 1 1/2 hours in regular traffic and a car. I think...

I have a grill cover but havent put it on. It runs really cool without much of a load but once I put some strain on it the temp gets up to 180-185ish. I am going to try the grill cover this week.

I did a longer test on Friday by going out to Port Hueneme. Had it floored all the way there, coolant was about 130-140 ish, boost was about 5-7 lbs, rpm 2500, outside air about 55 and the charge air temperature was between 147-160 depending on when the governor would allow more fuel for the...

I spoke to Kevin today (khilding) and he made it home safely at around 3am Arizona time. No problems, truck ran great! Glad to hear it.

Hey Will, I live out in Santa Clarita which is about 40 miles from you. Your welcome to come out and drive my truck to compare sounds/power. Send me a PM. The exhaust is a little raspy sounding on these.

Isnt the compressor always working when the motor is running? meaning the pistons are going up and down inside the compressor and its just the governer that either directs the compressed air into the tanks or into the atmoshphere? I havent quite figured out how the air system works.

Today was a blast. I finally got home about 4:30 just as it was starting to sprinkle. Kevin has a LOOOONG trip ahead but he got a real nice good running truck. He was able to do 60 no problem, right on my tail all along highway 126. Gary forgot to mention how he got in trouble for looking at a...
