post turbo...unless pre turbo would be a better idea to monitor. worked on lots of these trucks (stock) at gm while they were under warranty, but this is the first one i'm modifying. so some areas are a little unclear to me.

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to buy a gauge set for my truck to put on the A-Pillar(EGT, Boost, Trans Temp, all ISSPRO). I want to make sure I get the right face for my EGT gauge, and I'm wondering what the danger zone is for a 6.5T. My choices are as follows-one is green from 0-900F, yellow from...

Hey all- got a high mileage question- how reliable are our timing chains? Something i need to worry about at a babied 235k?

just got around to doing the teardown today. no oil in my case either. only drove the truck for a few days before it happened, so i assume the previous owner let it run dry long before i got the truck. funny, because i'm the second owner, and the 70 year old man i bought it from had a stack of...

26 and 34 gallon. I believe the 26 was the only tank for shortbeds, and the longbeds usually came with a 34, don't know if it was standard or a popular option for dealer inventory. You have the 34 gal from what you've said. I like the suburban tank idea. I have brand new d-load dueler a/t's on...

Okay, I give up. I can find parts for any obsolete american car or obscure european car, and lately I'm striking out on a friggin' 14 year old Chevy- first a t-case now a big fuel tank. It was easier to find stuff for my uncle's Citation :mad2:. Seems like the only option to up the fuel capacity...

an interchange list would be perfect! talk about frustrating- between finding hardparts suppliers and used cases that are just a year off, this cheap parts quest is turning into a nightmare that doesn't compare to any euro car parts search in recent memory!

Anyone know how interchangeable 241 parts from different years are? I can't find anyone online that sells more than a part or two for 241's, and all the used cases i'm finding that i can afford are 88-94 (apparently the 95+ is different- another question in itself). So i was thinking of buying...

Sounds like a logical explanation to me, I was starting to lean toward a broken snap-ring myself, just wasn't sure what the consequences of it were, thanks for the enlightenment :smile5: I should have it torn down sometime late this week/early next week. I'll post pictures of what I find for...

Any info is better than none :smile5: Aside from the snap-ring bs, I had no idea the 241 broke stuff out of the blue like yours and apparently, mine did. All I ever saw at the dealer were bearing noises, linkage problems, and leaks. None of the stuff I worked on there had accumulated the mileage...

Hey guys- went to run into town yesterday- dropped the truck in drive, all is fine. Take my foot off the brake and apply light throttle. Before the truck actually went anywhere, something let go and I got a vibration accompanied by a very very loud buzzing. Truck in neutral, then back in any...

Hey all, first diesel truck here, but lots of GM dealer experience with them as I was a tech from '00-mid '06. Don't know many of the tips and tricks in the diesel pickup world, aside from what I saw at work with the repairs and recalls. My truck is just a clean daily driver I rescued from a guy...
