I fully intend to teach my boy to shoot by the time he's 10-12. Depending on his general interest in it, I suppose.

Even if they don't get into it, knowing how is a big plus! My boys love it, but my daughter just want to know how for now.

Knowing how is a good safety issue.

Hey, my ides already!!

I don't think the wheel well space is an issue as long as you fill it from the bottom and sides.

I can hear the TB crank debate starting again!

Don, the stub axles are retained in the housing with clips that supposed to just pull out, but don't like to.

I am running 35s with a level kit and trimmed fenders, no rubbing.

I like the turbo idea. I wish the 6.2td made that power.

I did the level kit Don and eat parts all day. Reason I am going with SAS over the lift.

Now the Conito lift NTBD only adds 1/2 width, but is pricy (now that I sold mine) You will want better shocks and 35s push a level kit!

Mom has been in the hospital 3 times in the last month, she is not getting better. Ever since the heart attack and stroke it has been a spiral down. She is alive, but not living at all and this is something we have discussed many times and a DNR has been in place.

She was released today, to the care home, under hospice until I got the following news,,,,,,,

She has a blood infection that is beating the meds and has affected her heart. Only option is surgery, but she is not a candidate. Was told 3 days to a week.

Tomorrow I am bringing her home,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What about this "Camp fire" in California...and the lost town, Paradise? Prayers all around for those folks.

I know it has been a long drought, but I wonder what negative effect tree huggers may have had to encourage such a savage burn. Not cutting trees, protecting habitat and so forth...??

It is basically forest mismanagement for decades.

link to a good article describing what has happened over the years. It was a study for the Sierra Nevada's but applicable to all of California and many parts elsewhere.

https://lhc.ca.gov/report/fire-mountain-rethinking-forest-management-sierra-nevada


I was fishing up there last year with all the kids, just tragic! Yes it is an management issue with the state and feds, private lands seem to get taken care of just fine. PGE screwed the pooch by not shutting the lines down. Now they are getting the blame when last time they got in trouble for turning it off!

As of now they are asking for funds only or gift cards as goods are overflowing, thank GOD.

Bad new is over 40 are dead so far with over 200 still missing. Most the fatality's were in cars trying to get out or in their homes it is moving that fast.

About 100 miles from here, but it is hazy as can be with bad air quality almost 200 often.

Found a wire on the engine top and hooked it up the oil pressure sender, worked great. Had over 40psi at idle.

While digging, found I have a 6.2, not an issue but still want to ID the block.

Put a pressure gauge on the intake, only 4psi so far. Should be 10-12, needs to be addressed for sure.

Bet you had a big smile on using that drill (until murphy) as you have probably dug more than I have by hand.

No EGR on this, but it does have a funny oil vent system pre-turbo. I do want the other items though so maybe it will not go. I kinda liked how they have it on the 6.2 though, cam driven.

Did an oil change, fuel filter and lots of additive today. Made a mess  :rolleyes: Lost prime to the motor (lift pump up top) and used pressure to get it going. I ordered a new lift pump for this from summit that is a pass through. Will run it with a relay also as stock they are driven via just a pressure switch.

New window moldings/felts ordered too. Bent a few lines to clear other things too, lots of little things I see to make it solid.

Need a real air cleaner I can carry over the 6BT also, this setup is a joke, but it only gets cold air. And look at the battery setup! Tested the Oil pressure sender and it seems to work, but I question the location both for it and the turbo oil. Traced the sender wire and it was only 3 inches long,,,,,,,,,,,,

Now the turbo feed is 45* rotated towards the firewall and the drain is 180 from that. Pretty sure that is not optimal at least for the drain. Looks like it can remedied but how critical is it? I may have to remove the turbo anyway for the air cleaner and intake leak.

Also noticed a chunk out of the balancer which I hear is common and bad news?

I that pic above it has the waste gate mode and no AC (probably a 90s truck.

Just uses a spring on the WG vs a vacuum canister and you can dump the belt drive pump for it as that is all it runs!

The drivers side crosses over the the rear of the turbo side, then it all mixes and some goes to the turbo.

It is only pushing 10psi also. Some will see 12. The Banks manifold is nice but too pricey for this. If I was keeping the motor I would redo the system, stud the motor and have some fun. It runds good so going to add a few gauge and clean some stuff up is all. Been doing lots of reading, just glad I got the 100hp setup.

I gave it up last night and brought it home. Today I started to clean it up and found out a little more.

99% sure after blowing it off I have a 92-93 6.5TD. Ran the pump numbers and came up with that. It is a mechanical pump, no PMD (problem)

Also looks to be a 200hp version, which is near the top of the heap. Has a few wiring issues, not a surprise really.

The stock lift pump is up above the motor, after the stock filter/heater which could account for hard starting.

so I procrastinated putting my license plate bumper mount on when he was around and he isn’t here at the moment so I had to do it all by myself and I did it just fine and I knew what tools to use as well so thank you dad.
