Hey Phil I have a torx bit and wrench combo just like yours, makes it a tiny bit easier to work on the IPs

Since you now have a green one are you leaving this one the oddball tan? ;-)

Time for a status check. How is the truck running?

When they painted them it wasn't a showroom paint job. The door jambs are painted. Overspray is common. Some of our members have done a better job in their driveway. ;-)

Clearcoat gloss. Evil Dr Porkchops's Tahoe is the same gloss black. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100598-1999-CUCV-II-Tahoe

My truck started out black. And all of the ones I have seen have been the teal or black. Never seen a white one.

No cheap clips? Looks good Phil. You are the 6.5 expert in my books. No issues with my truck since I got it back together. I still need to add an additional ground strap for the cab. I'll wait until it warms up. I do need to buy a good spare PMD. Any recommendations?

Hey Phil, is there a ground strap connecting the engine to the firewall. Mine doesn't have one.

Do you have an extra valve to do the same test with? Now I curious if the valve or seat is bad.

I'm not seeing any major issues that would cause the problem. I wonder if it was just a bad head to begin with? Wonder if some lapping compound would show something.

Are you going to have the head reworked? I'm sure it is out of warranty.

Hey Stonepicker, How are your tires holding up?I need a set for my II and have always had good luck with Michelins. I think I will also go with a highway tire instead of a mud tire. I also finally ordered a receiver hitch from Amazon. The had a "new/used" unit for $142 instead of the usual...

Can't wait to see this truck on the road. Thanks for all the posts and picture. Great job.

The support bracket is for the direct drive starter. You will need the correct one for the gear reduction. Anouther $8.
