No, I don't do chat much. You guys type way too fast for these arthritic old fingers to keep up. By the time I answer something the conversation has moved on to another subject!:D

I see pictures but what am I looking at? I stopped visiting that site when they went to being a pay site.

WOW! You asked and he certainly did answer.:D I wish more people were that forthcoming. Welcome Sir. Rick

Care to enlighten us?

I know when I put the new 6.5 long block in mine the injectors were at a different angle and I had to order the lines for a stock mid 90's 6.5 truck. They fit right on. Are you saying there are different 6.5 heads?

Because he had the courtesy to call them and explain why it was there. They knew right away that this was a freebie for them and guaranteed he was coming back for it. The junkers they are stuck with and make no money on because people never come back for them.

OK, I am embarrassed! And tired, and I have a migraine. But I guarantee I am nowhere near as tired a Adam. About now he should be making a zombie look feisty! Rick

THAT is some really good fuel mileage with that load. Rick

Between 68-69 and again between 72-73 just seems like something missing from the conversation. I never saw any mention of damage.

Yes, A lot of the parts are the same but the lines have to stay with the heads. 6.2 heads have to use 6.2 lines.

Were there a bunch of posts cut out of here? Got real confusing after he mentioned getting back on the road. Seems like two or maybe three posts missing? Ferro, isn't this wrecker bed going to you? You live in S.C. don't you? Last time I checked you had to go through South Carolina from Tenn. to...

The 6.5 lines are made for the 6.5 heads and they are a different injector angle. If you have the 6.2 heads on there then you will have to use the 6.2 lines so they line up. Do NOT bend any of the lines! You will get a knock that you would swear is a rod knock. It changes the timing on that...

So now we all know that you know how to do that stuff. Would have just been easier to tell us the gauge size I think.:wink: Rick

The last couple of years at Aberdeen were pretty disappointing. This coming year will be the first time in 25 years that I am not going. It's a great gig for the party crowd, just not my style.

Which end is getting low? Front or rear? Front getting low would indicate need for pads rear getting low would indicate a leak. Rotted lines are very common on these.

You need the 24 volt Main battery wire on the starter terminal and the smaller terminal will be a 24 volt starter wire. Basically if you jump from the large terminal to the small one on the starter it will crank. Rick

I am going to bet a ton that you will take a break from recoveries for a while after this mess. Rick

UM, If you say so?????????? I sure don't see factory 416 myself.

Adam, something to think about before hauling that weight too much further on that trailer is alignment. I have seen many times where the spring bushings wear and the axles will get out of alignment with each other. That will build up heat very fast in the tires with a load like that. I would...

There are certain Heim joints that are legal for steering, the ones pictured are not the ones but really it does change in every state. You have a completely re-engineered suspension and as such in most state it will have to go to a special inspection unit where automotive engineers will inspect...
