Mine is a single stat setup and has a 180 installed. I have gotten it up to almost 200 running over 70 on the freeway in the summer time here. IDK what temp stat the 93 has in it, but both trucks temp gauges will climb rather quickly when accelerating up hill. both trucks have the factory...

Yeah for 96+ would require someone like Quadstar to program it for you. you'd have to sent the PCM in to have it done or purchase one already setup and send your old one in as a core.

as they call it the "John Wayne" style HAHA

There is a test you can do to see how much parifin wax is in the oil along with how much evaporates with high temps. get you a hot plate and a glass container like disposable coffee erns. heat the fresh oil up to what the temps would be in your engine, hold it there and watch... let it cool...

What type of driving do you do and how fast do you put the miles down on it? it's hard to get into one brand vs another without being bias for or against one or the other. what are you running now?. main thing is listen to your engine, it will tell you what it likes! my 2 cents is...

Oh Wow!! I just looked up and see Moates is back!!! the guy had retired and shut his business down sometime around or after Covid had hit. i just looked and he's back!! Here are the two items you need for me to program you a chip to extend your GP time. the adapter to connect the chip...

Wire in a push button switch to the glow plug controller tee off from the yellow wire on the 5 pin connector to the push button switch, then the other side of the push button switch to a fused positive (perferably switched pos from the key like tapping into the radio fuse on the inside fuse...

Got the new shifter cable installed. boy that was a challenge!! had to unbolt the drivers seat to get in there far enough, but finally got it in there adn adjusted. shifter is a little stiff, but not near as much play. when I pulled the old cable out, it had a length about 15" long where...

I just went and looked at my parts cluster I have. also looked on flea bay at diesel clusters. seems they are the same all the way up to 99. the cluster I have is for a gasser, but looking online, the printed ribbon circuits are the same. your welcome to mine for parts, I scavenged the oil...

Found a shifter cable on the jungle site for $20. said it fits 95-99 trucks, burbs, and tahoes. supposed to arrive sometime tomorrow, we will see if it fits. it'll be nice to not have to pull the shifter down an extra slot to hit drive and battle it to get in park plus have to use zipties to...

Got the batteries installed today, picked up some AC stop leak and some cans of 134a. charged up the ac. also cleaned out the CKO provent that I had on the 93 and installed it on the 95. checked the amount of blow by coming from the oil fill, it's nothing compared to the 93! just a slight...

I bet that's exactly what they did. I looked closer at your photos and it looks like the trace you repaired is a ground that goes between the left turn indicator and the indicator next to it. then the red line you drew would have passed that same ground to the WTS light (one with solder on...

chances are your lift pump is weak or it has one that's only rated for 5psi. I would plan to replace it with a Delco EP158. you can look at your pump and see if there is a tag on it with a part number still. If you extend your gauge so that you can watch it while driving, see what your...

Tomorrow I plan on getting the batteries installed, then I need to pull the belt and check the pulleys. I heard some chirping when I had it running, I think the tensioner pulley needs a bearing or the grease is dry from sitting. Might also be the alternator bearings. Then give the steering...

Started tinkering with the 95 today. didn't do a whole lot, but I did find out the batteries in it went south again! even with the trickle charger on it, the batteries failed. not sure what happened, but I made a trip back to the same place I got a set before and picked up a set of reburb...
