Now finally, we would learn how the 6. I'm also not too familiar with how the auto tranny held up against it. Not so fast hot shot, first, we need to be able to tell if the modifications that we do are not going to harm our engine. The final segment in the Project series ends with a feature article covering the performance Pull-Off competition in the fall of 1999, where we compared the Power Project 6. This is the first gauge that you should consider adding to your truck. The 1992-1993 model years used a 6.
Well there's a lot more where that came from, baby. I called the guy on it over the last couple days and he sounds like he is not going to move at all from his asking price. A mechanical or electric fuel lift pump feeds a Stanadyne Rotary Injection pump at low pressure. Both Ford and Dodge already run with 15-20 psi of boost pressure and a factory installed intercooler. If you add our Remote Fuel Filter Kit at the time of purchase, it adds 1 year warranty to the Injection Pump. Next in the trail to more power is partnered with the turbo. Exactly the opposite from what we want.
Engine Durability: As of April 2006, the 6. This is a pump you put on once and don't have to worry about for a long time If you're truck is a 1994 you need to confirm the injection pump part number. While these motors can survive an amazing amount of abuse, heat will lead to a very early demise. Add more fuel to a cylinder, and you have more power. With so much stress on the tiny contacts, these switches go bad regularly and are a real bear to get to for a change. After driving this truck more than seven years and 250,000 miles, I believe we've answered this and many other questions concerning power, performance and durability for a performance-modified 6.
Overall weight for the complete engine is slightly heavier than the 7. Lastly are the injectors and are the most basic. I have attached 4 pics that he sent me of the truck. The engine is often considered an attractive balance between performance and fuel economy, although it arguably became outdated in the wake of its direct injection competition. Granted you can't find an early Duramax with that low of miles. The truck is loaded with leather. Offered as high as 215 hp 3,200 rpm.
That engine and truck will get you anywhere, but it might not be quite as fast as the Duramax - but you can beat up on the 6. I have to go and look at it personally yet. This improved the flow through the block by 70—75% and flow to the radiator 7%. I'd never pay near that for that truck. Conclusion So, those are the basics.
This level of power produces a trailering performance capable of pulling a 10,000 lb trailer up a 6% grade at the legal speed limit. These were then given to the United States government and issued to various federal agencies and military branches. Without them, you are just flying blind and relying on luck. So what's all this prove? Boost pressure, fuel and engine cooling are the three main ingredients that determine diesel engine power. The concept for The Diesel Page 6. We will see what happens.
Whether towing uphill, downhill, on the flats or while crossing the Continental Divide, the engine temperature gauge never exceeded 205°. I guarantee you that the power trifecta and a little tuning will give you a whole new truck. They had some problems in the early years, but the 1995 to 2000 engines have all the bugs worked out of them and will last for a very long time. This sock can get plugged from solids and algae and needs to be replaced or can be removed and replaced with an exterior filter set-up before the lift pump. Should this be something I take a serious look at? As a result, we have a good all-around motor that could really use some improvements in many areas if we want more power in an engine that will last. But, you need to be able to pull the air to go along with it and with more fuel burned, we need to manage the heat that goes along with it as well.
Continuing with that, the 6. Many people will change to a dual thermostat crossover but I prefer to stay with the single. A 180 degree thermostat isn't really needed with a healthy radiator and these upgrades. This towing excursion added 4,500 miles to the odometer, and produced a 10. Aside from being competitive with a Ford 7. He currently has it on a 2000 Chevy 2500 with the 5. In order to do that, we need to have a way for the amount of heat to be reported to us in the form of gauges.
When power is cut from the fuel solenoid, fuel flow abruptly stops and the engine will stall. This and other performance tests have proven that the 6. Offered as high as 440 lb-ft 1,800 rpm. The other is a 1998 exactly like the one you pictured. These lower compression ratio pistons make it possible to safely increase boost pressure and fueling. This allows the lift pump to run at its full potential to begin with.
