Bison thanks. I think I will rebuild it, can I get a kit from parts store?

Wow! That sucker spins fast. And that's the cleanest engine I've seen since brand new. Still haven't bough a starter yet. Hope she lasts till I can afford one, also want to get the new cables when she's out.

4.10 gears with the biggest brakes ive seen since my freightliner sleeper trucks! I think the same as yours by looking at your signature line. Im not sure about full floater or semi, never really knew the difference.

Thanks for the advice. I thought id get a really good gear reduction one, but didnt realize it came from the factory that way. Im glad it didnt just die on me, id have made a mistake and gotten the wrong one. Thanks For the help folks:thumbsup:

3500gmc , she's a little rougher than the pic looks, but all in all a great truck with tons of potential. Deals like this are out there but I think and have noticed that most people either have no desire to do a little work or just lack the simple ability to diagnose and properly fix a problem...

3500 gmc, yes 650 cash and an old dirtbike i had in trade so i guess with that value in there around 1000 i suppose. The po said it didnt run, he replaced the pmd and fuel filter and couldnt figure it out. Well i found this site and did my research and figured i knew kinda what was wrong. My...

First tank on my 650.00 truck was 18.6. That was 200 miles of just highway and the rest in town. Now it averages in town 17.2-17.7. All in all im happy, i never expected a 1 ton go get even close to this. Shoot i have a 1998 5.9 grand cherokee and it never gets over 13.4! Anybody who buys a...

Sweet, thanks ill try that

Soon as I get some time thanks,!!!!

UPDATE on pmd cable splices One of my last posts showed a pmd harness with splices in it. It was fishbiting and dying dead cold. I crimped down the female connections on the cable and 2-3 weeks after that I still have NO instances of fishbiting,!!!!!!! You might check yours before replacing...

I have a 19955 k3500. The starter seems to unload or unengage when the motor starts to hit. Then it free spins for a second. Have to crank it a couple times to get it to fire. I've been reading but can't find which is best. Advance has a rebuilt for 209.00, but I think I saw ssdiesel had a...

Leroy, if I can scrape the funds together ill be getting a 1new yr fsd and 6' harness. Thx

I dont know alot about anything yet but ill tell you my experience first hand. I was getting fishbiting and just dead cold engine cut outs. I got to looking into my jumper harness and i want you to look really close at the pins in your pmd and then the female harness. To me it didnt look like...

Yeah look I was smart enough to figure it out. With a little help:thumbsup:

I got the last holdout glowplug that was causing me trouble. After multiple spraying of lube and hot cold cycles from driving it the last week i tried again today. It turned with a moderate amount of force, say 35 foot pounds. Maybe 1/8 of a turn and then i just kept spraying and turning back...
