I hope more people have more info. I soaked my rockers in it prior to assembly, per the manufacturer instructions. I am going to put it in the first few oil changes on my new motor to aid in the break in period. We will see what info comes available to see if I keep using it. Thanks Mr...

thank you, yes I went with flat black first and it does not clean well. I also recommend keeping the gloss. thanks for the info. one thing I wanted to add, I purchased the paint prep spray from oriely's I believe it is duplicolor brand, it worked well for cleaning and painting my motor...

you need to set up your pics better. I would have hid the log splitter and put an axe out in front on display. it is an impressive pile of wood, and would be an incredible pile of wood if split with an axe. It is going to freezing this week in Houston area so you better lock that wood pile...

the search function did not help me any, nor did google. Does anyone know the paint code for the inner fenders and frame on the cucv. I want to paint my inner fenders and like the gloss paint vs. the flat that is on them now. The flat is harder to clean. just trying to get the same paint...

It is the little springs on the cables for the 1009 that are important. They fold the cable properly so it does not get caught sticking out the crack between the tail gate and fender causing damage to the cable outer jacket. I found that once the springs break, the cables get damaged fast and...

I don't think the second pic is right, I think that is the civy cluster I robbed the gauges out of. here are pics of what I used to fix it, you need something with a shoulder on the outside (closest to driver) so the wire does not pull of the end, I cut the copper lug because it had the outside...

it is on a wire that is clipped to the bottom of the column piece that turns with the column. sometimes the clip slips but most of the time the wire has cut through the plastic piece that it bends around. you have to take the cluster out and epoxy a piece of metal in place to rebuild the...

read the doghead mod, it is probably the relay under the dash

yes, I have the 6.2 banks turbo, manifold, air cleaner box and intake hat and intake tube plus the oil lines. Only thing missing is the cross over and I have some parts to that. I am going to use the manifold air cleaner and intake hat on the 6.5 I have for sale just the turbo and other spare...

Thanks for the heads up. I knew the sizes were different but I have not gotten that far. I have looked at the oil cooler kit and will probably go that route. this way you get larger lines to and from the coolers. I have to see if Leroy's cooler will fit with my tranny and hydroboost cooler...

just putting this out there for its own review. Not sure this is the right section recommended on the older engines, engine oils now are more formulated for newer engines and no longer have the good stuff for the old ones. 1 bottle each oil change recommended. I would like to get the expert...

6.5 timing gear here is a pic. Rich

gep optimizer with some extras I have been working on the motor. first thing was a paint job. I did not splurge, I bought duplicolor high temp engine paint, two cans and two cans of spray prep. I washed it with the spray prep and then painted it. covering all the holes. I think It was $25...

I got it done, using the smallest puller the oriellys had, being set up as two jaw, you can get the jaws on two of the four notches/tabs, that stick out from the gear. I guess that is what they were designed for because that was the only way I could get it done. One thing to look out for is...

Any one have any tips on removing the timing gear from the crank shaft. I am trying to install a gear drive and the gear pullers from autoparts stores won't fit. feet are to big to grab the groove some say (on internet) to use two jaw puller and heat it. open for any advice. cant find any on...

get ac delco ac 60G once one or two go, the rest don't take long . they get to much voltage. this is why the resistor bypass is recommended.

check the optimizer thread. the one with the good article. I added to it. yes it is latest and greatest from Dalton forge. GEP no longer using Navastar. I am still waiting on the Dalton date code info. when I get it, I will add it to the optimizer thread. any one have any info on what I...

working on putting my ARP head studs in new motor. trying to figure out what torque spec to use. The arp package says torque to 90 lbs but also says to check vehicle specs. per the 6.2 cucv. is 50 lbs plus 1/4 turn. I have gep 6.5 optimizer and no torque specs for it. I think I should...

your easiest way out on the drivers side is get the banks manifold. you can find them on the auction sites for less than $400. you can use stock passenger manifold but crossover can be cumbersome depending on your lift and other issues. I only know of one front crossover like I am doing (banks...

If you are considering re-centered hummer rims, check your area. once the hummer rims are cut, they are no longer DOT approved. spacers can be used but in my opinion that is worse than a re-center. I actually had a Texas DPS officer make some comments on mine when I had them, he did not...
