I'm on year 4 or 5 with this one, Pel-pro. I haven't had any issues at all and I probably put 70-80 bags a year through it. I heat a 1500 sq ft shop and it's definitely more than enough. Most of the time I just burn it on the lowest setting, but it will crank out a lot of heat on high for a...

I wonder if there were some changes to the OLM between 2002-05? I was kinda expecting mine to go off closer to 5k, but like I said I definitely work the motor. I'm averaging 9-10 mpg towing the trailer, there are quite few times I'm in third on the highway at about 3500 rpm trying to keep up...

I'm 95% sure I reset the monitor. The oil looks great on the dipstick, but I know you can't go by looks alone. I'm leaning towards waiting until 5000 miles for the oil change but I'm still torn.

I'm not exactly sure but it hasn't been over 3 months I would guess, maybe a little less. I don't idle very much, but I do have some short trips. I also do some highway where the oil is for sure getting good and hot. 90% of my driving is pulling my enclosed trailer weighing maybe 5000-6000lbs...

I've read that GM's oil life monitor in these years takes into account usage, like rpm, temp and other factors to determine when to change. It's not just a mileage counter. That's what made me think maybe I should change it. I would assume though, GM was programming it for regular Dino oil of...

My 2002 GMC 2500 with the 6.0 is used to pull a construction trailer with tools for work. I reset the oil change light at last oil change, and it's telling me to change the oil now about 3000 miles later. My question is whether or not this system is accurate? I used full synthetic 5w-30 oil...

Thanks for all replies! I just talked to a local mechanic that says he can do it, hasn't come up with a cost yet though. I found a jig to use that helps drilling and extracting the bolts for $200, I might go that route and try it myself if the mechanic comes back with a super high price. Not...

I was afraid you were going to say that! I really do want to fix it right, I'm hoping to use this as my work truck for quite sometime, so I want it to last. I might try to attempt it, just not super confident I would be able to do it. My local mechanic I trusted and used for this kind of stuff...

Oh that's awesome, I haven't seen those yet, thanks for the link! I would definitely rather buy those than the Dormans.

I just picked up a 2002 GMC 2500 with the 6.0, it has 185,000 miles on it. Everything seems good on it, all fluids looked good, runs and shifts great, but has a really bad tick when it's cold. Unfortunately when I went to look at it he had just drove it, so it was warmed up and not making the...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, still deciding what to do. I'm leaning towards rebuilding this 2 bbl for now. I've read some conflicting info on just what size carb this would run best on. It sounds like smaller the better, 500 cfm being max. I'm not really out for high rpm horsepower, just...

I will look tomorrow, I think that's what it is. The previous owner said he had tried a 4bbl carb and thought it actually ran better with the one that's on it. He built the Jeep probably 10 yrs ago so this carb has been on it for quite awhile I'm guessing. I might attempt to rebuild it, seems...

Here are a few pictures, not the best but it was getting dark. There's definitely a spacer or adapter below the carb to bolt the 2V to that manifold. It looks like gas has been seeping in a couple spots, not just where the throttle shaft comes out. Is this the Motocraft 2100?

Thanks for the replies, I think I'm leaning towards a new carb or carb rebuild. I went out and looked and I can't find a name on the carb at all. It's not the stock one but not sure what it is, it's a two barrel. I did notice that when I pumped it by hand a couple times, there was a little gas...

Yep that's what I'm looking at. It currently has an Edelbrock Performer intake on it, the Sniper should bolt right up

I'm not a mechanic, but I believe this is within my ability to do. I'm a fairly decent shade tree do-it-yourselfer. Is there a scanner or something that I would be able to hook up to an O2 sensor to read current AFR's?

The carb has not been rebuilt to my knowledge, I might look into doing that. Both kits mentioned come with everything needed including a high pressure fuel pump, not cheap though. Would probably be $1500 or so depending on which one I went with. Previous owner who built the Jeep said he had...

Does anyone have any experience with converting an old AMC 304 to fuel injection? Have the 304 in my Jeep, and have been thinking about getting a Sniper EFI by Holley or a Howell fuel injection conversion kit. I currently have a 2 barrel carb on it (not sure which one) and it doesn't run the...

I haven't heard of any "bottom ends" needing replaced on the 2.7 eco boost. There are plenty of examples of these motors with high miles out there. Hopefully, knock on wood, mine will be one of them. I'm only at 78,000 now with no issues.

I just filled my 2.7 Ecoboost with HPL PCMO series, not sure how long to run it. I've had good UOA's with Schaeffer's at around 5-6k changes, no fuel was present and TBN was around 2. Probably a waste not to run the HPL even further than that, but's it's hard go that far and not worry about...
