I knew I was forgetting something, the headers were something I thought about but tossed into the back of the pile because it was one of the cheaper things that I intended on doing. Though now that I think about it, it would make sense to do that sooner.

I thought about a Cummins but still not sure on that. It's a thought that I'm still mulling over, especially since Cummins has perhaps the best running diesel motors ever produced, in my book anyway.

Looks like I need to go over my notes again.....then it could also just be being forgetful. Yeah, leave it to me. Still even though I haven't been the most attentive when it comes to that no I think I keeping the stop 6.2 is the best.

One problem, a 6.6 Duramax kit, well all the ones I have looked at use fuel injection....fuel injection is irritating to deal with when a part of it breaks so no thanks. I would rather just deal with a carburetor, sure it's outdated and rarely used anymore but it's just so much better in my book.

While I know that fuel economy is never going to be stellar I intend to get it as good as I can, it's all part...

The newer 6.5 turbo relies heavily on a computer. I'm not worried about the cost anyway, this isn't something that I am going to do all in one weekend. I'm looking at around four months at least, since I will only be able to work on it during the weekends. I like the older 6.2 because well it's...

I was talking this over with a mechanic friend of mine, since fuel mileage is important to me. He told me that if I intended to keep the old 6.2, or since I'm somewhat of an apocalypse nut an older diesel motor, that I should put an forced induction system on it. The two words that left his...
