I tried heating up the crossover and using vise grips and that didnt work. Welded on a nut and it snapped off on the inside of the nut. Ended up drilling it out and tapping it. Used PLENTY of anti-seize on it.

The 14ff gov lock is way bigger/beefier than the garbage 10 bolt one. It'll be fine.

Broke the top bolt off the thermostat housing. Need to get the correct size drill bit and tap tomorrow after work.

That would work as well. I just need something without the arctic box and that's not all bent up and rusty

I've tried searching but it would seem either its not a typical topic or the search isn't functioning as it should. I'm in need of a new oil pan. I have an arctic kit pan currently thats seem better days. It's leaking from the reinforcement plate where the dip stick feeds into it as well as...

I purchased both a gear reduction and a starter bracket off fleabay. the starter was $100 and the bracket was $12.

My under standing is that it's changing the amount of vacuum required. I found a nifty chart in the TM's about elevation and vacuum requirements. Since I'm at nearly 6,000ft I figured worth a shot. I backed the screw out just a half turn. Should lower the vacuum requirements for the trans, or at...

I was able to get my shifts pretty close to stock settings. First to second is at about 20mph. I adjusted the vacuum sensor as far back as I could and then adjusted the modulator at the trans.

I just posted some pics of mine in the other turbo thread.

What I did on mine was cut off the top maybe 4" of the drivers side crossover and mated it to a flowmaster 6.5 crossover (that also needed cutting and modifying).

I don't have the means to make such a spacer. I have good news and bad news. Good news is, it looks like the top portion of the sensor can be rotated 90*. Bad news is I broke the one on my truck trying to be lazy and modify it on the truck. Inside the top portion is a spring attached to what...

Does anybody know what this would adjust? Looks like it adjusts the sensor on the body but I'm not sure if that'll do what I need.

It's the completely open intake manifold.

If the vacuum fittings weren't angled up I think it would clear just fine. 1/4" would certainly do it but I don't have the means for making a spacer like that. I can't get a good picture of it, too many things in the way.

Yea I've got it rotated as far back as it'll go right now and it's touching the manifold. My shift points are later than I'd like. Second is roughly 25 and third about 40.

It's the hose and very end of the vacuum fitting that's interfering.

Hey guys, ive installed a 6.5 turbo setup in my m1009 and I'm having trouble adjusting the throttle vacuum valve to get my shift points back to where they were because of the intake manifold coming into contact with the upper vacuum fitting. Does anybody have a trick to getting it to clear...

Hence the point of this thread, to see if maybe he was......or someone who knew him.

I had to smog mine here in denver. I passed. I think the opacity test for 85 was 40%, I had 35% or close to it. The guy told me next time just put extra diesel additive/injector cleaner in it. I brought it with my usual amount of diesel additive and a quart of 2 stroke oil in it.

Yep. I found a bio from last year of it. It's definitely turbo now. http://www.drivingline.com/2013/07/ultimate-adventure-2013-readers-chevy-pickup/
