Actually, there are some very sharp guys there when it comes to the 6.5...Of course, if you piss them off they're probably not going to feel obligated to help you out much.
take it from me kurt, you REALLY don't want to try to get any extra ponies from that POS engine as it WILL blow up...i 100% garentee it. beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Dude are you serious???? Have you bumped your head???? A 160gph lift pump will most likely BLOW apart the fuel system on a 6.5.....Either get the heath diesel lift pump or just go to NAPA and get one. They both flow more than enough fuel when in working condition....A cheap test to see if the pump is working is take a volt meter and unplug the stock fuel pump connector were it plugs into the lift pump on the drivers side frame rail....Check to see if its got power. If it does but you CAN'T hear it running. Then you need a lift pump....Simple as that
Kurt, Why the hell did you go out and blow your lly's tranny fund on this POS? You could have done alot to Flakey with that money I don't understand. We all are more than willing to help you out, but geeez I thought I had a bunch of half-ass projects started. I don't hold a candle to yours.
