making a little progress, had to do the knuckle boot-best done with tire off; I tried with the tire on, but my head wanted to be right where the spring pack was. inner clamp was a pain, outer went one very smooth. and FYI, some of the new clamps vendors sell(can't remember who I bought the boot...

you will need a wastegate actuator, universal, that is adjustable(try to find one that has a low initial boost opening) and a boost controller-there are several designs, but the simplest is simply a valve that bleeds of boost to create a boost signal for the actuator. I like turbosmart...

No sparks or anything at night- I have looked-although with the shielded wires it is incredibly hard to see sparks; my original wires were crap when warmed up, and although I did the same in the dark test, it was holding the wires up to the block and watching for a good spark that solved that...

If you have no waste gate controller you'll have no boost- plus engines make very little to no boost with no load-essentially the exhaust pressure helps create turbine spin, and that helps create inlet pressure- with no load, exhaust pressure remains low. If you have the time and money(not...

Yes and no, oil pumps create volume and flow, the clearance in the engine helps to create pressure, BUT low volume and flow can also mean low pressure. It's essentially fluid dynamics 101, change one part of the equation, another must change, in this case if clearances are fine, flow or volume...

The filter has a relief valve, that bypasses a dirty filter. I'm not positive in the 6.2 but the civi 6.5 had it in block, same with the anti-drainback valve Sent from my LGL34C using Tapatalk

Agreed, sealer is a gimmick that makes things worse so you buy more parts-I've seen it seal a thermostat shut before; so imagine what it can do in some of the small cooling passages. You can try soldering the radiator(if it is the original brass/copper, it sometimes works but mostly doesn't on...

Back to square one. Still doesn't run right hot, I'm firmly set on ignition, I ran a flush, cooling system seems fine, but it still dies at an idle in the yard. It was extremely hot and humid(90's and probably 100% humidity), I ran the truck more on Saturday(cooler and less humid) around town...

I had replaced mine last year, it was a bear to get the old one out, but the New one went in easy, almost like it was slightly shorter. Visually it looked the same. Sent from my LGL34C using Tapatalk

How much bigger are the 900 series tops? My top on my m35 is baggy and droops a lot, it also hangs down below the rear hooks, so the the rope is almost 1/2 inch from the end of the hook. Sent from my LGL34C using Tapatalk

That's still part of the seal- if you look at the new one it should be similar-if you don't have a new one for whatever reason, get one As for removing, I have used a chisel, and you lightly tap at about the 10:00 o'clock and 2:00 o'clock position until the seal just starts to slide forward...

These beds all bolt together, except for a few welds by the tailgate. You do need to slide the bed back to access the front bolts, you may be able to get away with not disconnecting the lights and the axle vent, but you would definitely need to disconnect the fuel filler Sent from my iPhone...

when pulling the safety ring off, be sure to inspect it and the groove in the rim carefully, scrap out any rust, and make sure the ring has no cracks or is heavily pitted with rust-because if it is cracked or pitted too much, it could end up forcing itself off the tire-even if the bead is seated...

It was very humid today, and very hot, fluid level was actually a little high, tad above the line on the remote reservoir. I'm almost wondering if the heat is affecting the hose(rated for dot 5 fluid, extreme temps etc) and it feels and looks fine(doesn't have any cracks when pinching it). But I...

No visible leaks, and an update on what seems to be happening, I checked it this morning, was low, maybe a 1/4" not as bad as yesterday. Got home later(did not drive it, so it sat all day in the same spot) it was full. this mornings temp was about the same as yesterday morning, but much less...

are your trying to replace the hose that goes to the wheel? or the steel line that runs from the "t" by the front driveshaft to the hose that connects to the front wheel? the hose attaches to the wheel cylinder by a banjo bolt, then to the bracket, and finally the steel line threads into the...

I plan on purging the cooling system this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

masking tape, or maybe it was electrical...anyways, tape over the bolt head and attach the ends on the manifold remove the tape as you start each bolt. Now, there are a few bolts that will go in when the manifold is mounted, can't remember which ones, but it will make it easier to wait on those...

first time I was doing my truck, I took off all the tires separate from the hub, course I only had 6, cause someone singled it out before me, but it was heavy and tiresome to do that. I then realized a motorcycle jack would work perfect to remove the tires.

Quick video, shot on my Iphone 4, so not great quality, but OK. this was after arriving home and after idling 2-3 minutes, temperature rose to around 180. I actually left it idling another 5-7 minutes after the video, ran fine, temp was at 190; couple pops out the exhaust, but nothing that...
