Yeah, if no specific reason to keep it, ai would sell it off. You can always turn around and buy a different lil run around car once there. As for what parts to buy/ swap- belts and hoses are something usually neglected. On the hose clamps- buy high quality not low cost- clamps fail more...

I would think you should be able to call them and ask for rental services near you- But figure out: 1. if you sell it as is, how much $ do you get. 2. How much can you sell it for if running right. 3. Wild guess cost of repairs- say $1000? 4. Towing it will cost you extra fuel of getting...

That was my thought on the sound. Hence the question about firing out both…

On that car- everything starts with reading a computer that controls it. Stop firing parts cannon- diagnose. Codes? Is that backfiring out the exhaust, intake, or both?

I had a problem a couple times. What I did was do a screenshot of the picture. Then post that screenshot. Just click top button on each side wt the same time.

I would say start a thread in the gasoline engine section. But I know those 3.4 eat sparkplugs and when they don’t get changed in time they wile out the coils. Check your codes. P300 random cylinder misfire, p301 is cylinder 1, p302 is cylinder 2, etc. often just a new set of plugs, using...

Yes, speedway is a resller of tools & parts. Excellent service..

I agree with above- Yes 75 mph is ok. But also- if you keep this rig you will HAVE TO become a proficient mechanic for it. There just aren’t many mechanic shops that deal with these anymore. The only saving grace is you have a db2 instead of ds4 ip. This is what TSP is reasoning...

Simple fix in the cab that eliminates a bit of the slop. I heard of this before but never done it. Then stumbled on this short YouTube video…

Looks awesome!

How soon do you make the move? If you don’t have towing on your insurance- you might pony up for it now. Them cancel it once in NY a few bucks on insurance might be worth it if you aer really concerned- however most shops don’t know these old diesels so you have to check that before they pick...

@Big T That flat washer- a grade 5 will “dent” and allow movement later. Grade 8 won’t, but is more prone to breaking. Coin flip which would be best, either way- make it a habit to examine when doing oil changes.

Welcome. The common term for gm trucks after square body is GMT400. The series after that is GMT800 in the 2000 range

I don’t know, but would guess there are some off road aftermarket companies that would build some. They make them for most trucks to have a wazoo suspension system. Lightweight & stronger so guys can jump the trucks and such off road racing. If no one is, find a custom fabricator that builds...

My understanding is that the archoil is more for cleaning, and I wouldn’t expect that to help anything in new or rebuilt ip/injectors. If it has a really good lubricating property, ok. But the idea of moly into the fuel or heavy dose of atf can do the same. But that should only help with...
