Hi to all 6.5 Chev owners - please check proximity of crossover (exhaust) pipe to your starter motor - had mine die due to stator winding solder connection failing - apparently due to heat.
...

Happy with service for sure. Bit peeved I had to drive to Tullamarine to pick up part and then have to fit myself. I won't be expecting to do this for the springs and sump.
Checked weight...

Still dreaming of my 'Millweld' in 'White' (minus spotties) + (me old 90's HM revamped) with new 2 x descent oil coolers out front :-) Cooling bullet proof I reckon :-) ...

Ah, I mistakenly thought the motor was a Brunswick rebuild. I didn’t realise it was just a second hand motor. It does rather muddy the waters so my previous post should be discounted. We all take a...

You won't get much joy out of BD on this as I asked at the time of doing the conversion and 'nope' was the reply. I think the ambulance that were fitted with the chev diesels had dual alternators? Do...

Graham,
have a look at some of the dual alternator setups if you have the serpentine belt. In my view these are easier to work with than the vee belts and you might be able to source a ready made...

OK, here is the clearer shot of the bracket installed. I am guessing this arrgt would be similar to yours? Anyway, when you get home you can advise. I will do a tracing of the bracket anyway as i am...

Couple of shots. The angle for the installed plate is terrible, plus there is too much reflected light from under the car so the flash won't fire. I will have a crack later tonight in total darkness...

Rainsey, further to my previous note about the hydraulic pump location, my plans to run off the PTO have hit a snag due to the PTO being upside down and the ultra tight location. I have decided to...

Sounds good Rainsey!
It worked for my ex during my conjugal visits. Although flour was the chosen hygroscopic substance utilised :-) !
Please do keep us posted mate !!
Cheers MB

Rainsey,
I have a Milemarker 12000lb hydraulic winch thats re-rated to 15000lb by an increase in pump pressure, designed by Milemarker in the USA. i imported the winch and pump at the same time,...

Don't know much about them Rainsey but these belt driven ones in QLD look pretty descent?

Hi Rainsey, its a pita for such a new conversion. What oil pressure are you seeing? The front crank seal on mine has been replaced recently (out of warranty) the crank appears to have a small groove...

G'day Rainsey, what a bugger mate!
I believe there is an old school trick to finding sneaky small oil leaks using talcum powder and following the snail trails to its source.
Hope it all works out...

Guys,

response from K&N is they do not have a serviceable equivalent to the Donaldson filter used on the n/a motors.

Vehicle update is it leaves Bunbury this monday - faulty tacho stopped it...
