    Hey Virgil

    We were p.m'ing about the drain tube, but couldn't post pictures there. I started this thread to show him what I had. I'm sending it to him for Christmas. It's a turbo drain tube for a 6.2l dizzle. Funny how it's taken on a life of its own!

    Is there such a thing as Cams for Dummies

    To the O.P., when it comes to cams, less is more. It's very easy to over carb and overcam.

    6.7 Cummins Suburban Build

    They beat me to it. The 10 bolt is o.k. for a stocker, but with the torque that motor puts out you need to upgrade. If you like to push it hard off road I'd get a stronger driveshaft too.
