That's odd. I'll have to check it out. I know it's been seen as it has just over a hundred views since I uploaded it Sunday. Thanks for letting me know, I'll investigate. Mike

I posted a couple of new videos to my YouTube channel showing the removal and installation process involving a Duramax turbo as well as a full turbo rebuild. I hope this is helpful to anyone looking to do this job. Removal and Installation. Turbo rebuild once it is out of the truck and on...

To be honest, my only worry about the RapidAir coiled system was not having the lines perfectly straight. I know several on Garage Journal who have spent quite a bit of time getting theirs straight and they look good but most I've seen are far from straight and the owners really didn't care...

How is the propellent holding up in the old cans? I had a couple of cans that I bought just before we moved (6+ years ago) and both of them although full of liquid would barely expel any penetrant. I ended up buying 2 new cans and had to toss the others. I actually was able to salvage a...

I didn't realize Prevost offered a complete shop air system? I used three Aircom 25mm (1") kits when I built my shop and have been very impressed with it. It is very similar to the FastPipe rigid system but I was able to find it a bit cheaper on eBay than locally. On Garage Journal the...

On the oil pump fastener I tried a left handed first but it wouldn't grab so I switched over to a standard drill bit followed by the extractor. To be honest, I haven't had the greatest luck with left hand drill bits over the years unless the bolt is actually loose in the threads and just the...

Had a quick "hey man" job come through the shop door last night. I had some time so I thought I'd knock it out real quick. A past client who is local contacted me to see if I could remove a few broken fasteners from a couple of heads and timing cover from his newly acquired Jeep Wrangler with...

Yeah, I wish I would have listened 5+ years ago when I was told not to bother with anything else. I didn't listen and ended up paying twice so if this helps anyone to avoid the same pitfall I landed in then it was worth it. Sorry to those who already bought them. On a side note, if anyone is...

Agreed. I had never been over South Pass and that was gorgeous all the way over to Shoshoni and that was on the pavement, let alone getting off the beaten path and exploring.

When I was in gradeschool my sister and BIL had a small cabin just outside Cora, WY. Several of our trips brought us through the small town of Farson, WY and I remembered stopping for an ice cream cone on several of those trips. My wife and I were traveling in our coach through the area last...

Love this picture Greg. We've been to this little bakery a couple times now and love their apple turnovers. Best I've ever had.....

Yeah, don't do what I did and waste time and money on inferior couplers. Wish I would have bought them years ago rather than fight and cuss at my Milton's.

One of the interruptions was the loss of my shop air. It seldom happens but when it does it sucks. I have had my Quincy 60-gallon 2-stage air compressor since new in the early 90's when I built my last shop. It has been an excellent piece of equipment and in all those years only left me...

I guess I forgot to post the final pictures of the turbo rebuild. Here I'm testing the intercooler piping and system to ensure there are no leaks before buttoning up the engine bay. Cleaning up the airbox before installation. Cleaning the duct work. Cooling system filled, ductwork and...

I had my share of dealing with rental properties years ago, as well as people who rent them, and quickly learned that I didn't understand what the draw was. People think it's quick and easy money, at least until they have to deal with the BS that goes along with it. I'll stick to spinning...

To keep it appearing OEM.

Looking good. I'll bet your getting excited.

I'm not sure how you set your wear plate but I like to keep it just off the concrete so it gets the snow but doesn't actually scrape along the concrete as it's more prone to catching cracks/seams. The process I use it so raise the side shoes up and then adjust the scrape plate down so it barely...

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and hope others find my projects at least entertaining if not informative. Mike

Last time I bought it was from Motion Industries on 1900 West in West Haven.
