Just checked out the tractor supply units. They are perfect! Thanks Juan

I use Rottella antifreeze from tractor's supply. It's listed for Diesel engines. Less chance of micro bubbles and hot spots.

Are your glow plugs working good? They may be working but not well. Or well enough.

I installed a 6.5 from a 93 turbo truck. I have a single plane intake and the larger air filter housing from a 92 6.2. Then made a ram air with a stock tube from a gasser. I ran a 3 inch exhaust that stops just before the rear axle. The fuel rate is still at the turbo level. It will easily...

Gimpy's right, I'm still pulling parts. I'm hoping to get it in the air some time tomorrow. I was just wondering it someone has been in my situation, by having to pull one with the torque converter still attached. I measured my new TC length and the gap between the harmonic balancer and the...

The stack came out first. I was thinking the torque converter might not clear the input shaft on the tranny before the crank gets to the front crossmember.

I'm finally pulling the locked up 6.2 and replacing it with a 6.5. Does anyone know if I will have enough clearance between the engine and front cross member with the torque converter still attached the get the engine out? With the engine locked up, I can't rotate it to unbolt the torque...

I use a 3/8 squeeze bulb for a outboard boat motor. $15 at Wal-Mart in the boat section. I put it just before the fuel filter. I can pump the fuel by hand with the bleeder open with out over heating the starter and draining batteries. Close the bleeder, then crack injector lines 1/4 turn and...

Was there damage to the bearing race?

Thanks for the great info. It looks like a quality cable. Looking forward to learn how smooth the throttle is.

IMHO it is more restrictive then one would think. Although I didn't have it on a dyno before and after, a shorter 3 inch pipe improved the seat of the pants acceleration in my case. I installed a Banks Sidewinder on my 82 Civi 6.2 with good results but not worth that kind on money.

Try a test drive with the air filter housing removed. You will feel a noticalbe increase in power. Yes is will be louder from the air intake. These engines are starving for air. It is a small intake hole for a 380 cubic inch engine. If you like the difference you can drill a few small holes in...

RockAuto.com . I just had one split right by the connector at the block. I took one off of a parts engine I have. But I too will be replacing them both.

The best way to remove the left over water is to drive it. The engine will get hot enough to vaporize the water. Then It will be pulled through the PCV valve and sucked through the intake. A good ten miles should do the trick.

Sounds like someone may have a new side business.

Yes no spins take some getting used to. Kinda like having a pit bull. You end up learning to live around them. Yes you have to watch air pressure and let off the throttle while turning or you will buy a lot of tires. 20 years ago I had one in the rear of a CJ5. It made life on wet streets...

Thanks Kenny!!!!!

Yes that's the one. I have one in my M1028 and M35. Id like to install one in my 998. I got the others at Saturn Surplus years ago. But they no longer carry them.

Does anyone know a source for the Aux power socket/outlet? It's kind of like a cigarette lighter socket.
