Yeah , I'm gonna flush the radiator , decided to just yank the whole motor next week and swap in a good running 6.2 I have sitting in a parts truck and swap the turbo over till I can rebuild the 6.5 in the spring. The poor thing needs an IP anyway so I might as well just do new heads , IP ...

Hey guys , anyone taken a look at possibly doing a remote mount turbo setup? I don't know how it would do on diesel engines , but I was looking into doing for a hotrod project. They say the remote mount turbo has virtually no turbo lag. Check out ststurbo.com

The only thing by the thermostat housing is the fuel bleeder on my 93. I just tried something though. When I bought a new radiator cap , I bought one of those that has the red lever on top to relieve the pressure before removing it. I just filled the radiator , put the cap back on (but left the...

yeah , I've tried that about three times and every time I do , I run the truck and after running a while , all the fluid ends up in the overflow and the radiator is damn near empty.This is the first truck I've owned that firing the truck up cold and filling the radiator gets me spit on by the...

I have a feeling you're right Veg. I think I'm just gonna plan on pulling the old girl in the barn and yank the motor , put the 6.2 in for now. I'll rebuild the 6.5 in the spring and get everything done at once (new heads , IP , injectors....etc). I was hoping for the best , but I'm a realist ...

got a new symptom . decided before i tore it apart to throw some bars stop leak in the radiator , installed new thermostat and gasket. Took it down the road to let it warm up , did the same thing , 250 , then 220 , then settled back down to 190 eventually. Noticed while it was sitting there...

Ok guys , my truck passes the water test. I let it come up to operating temp and revved the engine a little , The water draws up the tube a good 2". Now , every time I start the truck , my temp gauge will hit 250 degrees and slowly cycle back to 210 , then 250 then 210 a few times before it...

anyone know exactly where the volt gauge gets its power from? fuse block maybe?

Got a 1993 k3500 dually 4x4 with 128,000 miles on it. The transmission shifts fine under normal driving conditions. If I put my foot in it and get on it , it will stay in 4th gear and down shift normally when I slow down to make a turn , after making the turn and picking up speed the tranny will...

I know I'm gonna regret this because this is probly a terminal problem , but heres the deal. This is my first diesel and bought it cheap so I have no regrets , but after the truck warms up to operating temperature , I pop the hood and have white smoke coming out of the oil fill tube and its...

guess it sounds like I'm swapping all electric over then , Thanks for the input guys.

Got a 1991 gmc k1500 gasser I bought with no motor , looking to swap in a n/a 6.2 from a 1992 c1500 I picked up a week later. My question is , do I have to just swap out the under-hood wiring harnesses , ecu , and dash cluster , or do I need all the wiring from the donor truck including all the...

yeah , if thats not bad enough , drove my daughter home tonight and gurgling from the radiator overflow when I shut the truck off. Fired the truck back up and pulled the oil dipstick to find a thin flow of white smoke coming out. Think I got a blown head gasket to deal with now as well.

I have , I found a rebuilt one for $400 and its gonna cost me another $450 to have a local shop install it. Business has sucked this year and I barely broke even so money is tight or I'd have replaced it already

Understand too I just bought the truck , and it had a bad ops sensor when I bought it , so no telling how long the IP has been pulling double duty. No doubt it got the IP hot
