Update: Wayne has the ABS working on the ‘99 Suburban. The ABS has not worked since I bought the truck in 2010. The sole remaining thing to do is to get 4 Low working. My wife dropped off her 4Runner plus two new AC Delco Encoder motors for the ‘99 Suburban. Hopefully, he can address the...

You got a listing for that center console?

It’s the IP

I have a seized (lost oil pressure due to oil stainless cooler line rubbing through on the engine mount) 506 engine sitting in a crate in my garage in Montana. Intention is to disassemble and inspect the block. Heads are already promised to a member here. I will not magniflux the block, only...

Eagle Watch texted me that I blew the fuse to the Transfer Case Control Module, so that is back to the before scenario with 2Hi, 4Hi and AWD all working, but still no 4Lo. I have two brand new AC Delco encoder motors, but they are set to neutral. Transfer case will not go into neutral. You have...

Offer the guy $150 for both. No way he gets $180 each, especially for local pick-up. Just not that many 6.5s out there. I will send you a check. One will go to Paveltolz so I can shut down his thread. My wife can come pick them up sometime during the Summer. By then I should have the heads...

Which Facebook group?

I’ve forever had a slight leak (does not spot the pavement when parked) where the front driveshaft attaches to the front differential. The new 6.5 Optimizer install has pretty much eliminated the oil filter adapter as the source. I would like to replace the seal where the driveshaft yoke...

I got the section from the muffler back installed. Had to trim the end of the tailpipe as it stuck out too far. Could not remove the stainless cover from the old tailpip, but I have a new one down in Fullerton. Replaced the rear hanger as the metal strap was broken, leaving it hanging lower and...

Wait, I remember this (still scratching my head).

Or cut the ear off the one you’re trying to repair and glue (weld) it onto the broken one. I have similar one missing the ear off the RF position (thanks son). Maybe we could make one whole. It cost me $20 to have it welded up.

Do you have the broken off ear? I have a friend who welded one of mine back together and it has worked great.

Funny, I was tired from all this reading on a bank capital review, so I went over to see Wayne at Eagle Watch Automotive and drop off a new transfer case dash switch in case my truck needed it. Wayne was working on a 7.4L Isuzu inline 6 cylinder diesel in a GMC dumper truck. Replacing valve...

The main point: do not buy used engines, especially those with unknown history.
