Use quality slave components and you wont be dropping it, aka avoid chain auto parts store stuff. I was using the aluminum slave from o-reillys thinking it was better than the plastic for my external slave 95, and after swapping it 3 times I gave up and swapped it out for a LUK plastic and...

If you dont have disc brakes, leaf springs, and solid axles at all 4 corners, you dont have a HD. One needs to pay attention to any potential differences between a 10K GVWR pickup and a 11K (2wd ) or 12K (4wd) chassis cab though.

All this work to gut a reliable braking system and I bet you still have an automatic transmission. If simplicity is the cornerstone to all your mods, I would think a manual swap would take precedence over everything else. I guess call me crazy, but I always thought these had a good brake...

Last I checked the 96-07 bellhousing was still available new. The 92-95 definitely isnt, and was not the best design, kinda crack prone. All a guy would have to do is buy a clutch kit and hydraulics for a 96+ application to run the 96+ bellhousing, definitely the best route to take.

has anyone bought one off ebay, if so, any trusted vendors on there? looking to buy one, cant ever seem to find a deal on a genuine tech 2.

thank you!

Can ya'll point me in the direction of the threads discussing the fake tech 2s? Ive been watching ebay for a while and really dont want to spend 1500+ for a good used tech 2.

No, bracket that sandwiches between motor mount and engine block, solid rod with a eyelet in each end, one end to bottom of bellhousing, other end to motor mount bracket.

War Electronics maybe? EMP proof DS4? Lol

Ok, since the thread was resurrected, figured I better chime in. In 2016 I bought a 06 Duramax factory ZF6. While I enjoy it for the most part, and it has proven to be fairly robust, the parts availability has me spooked to ever swap one into something else. The cost and availability suck, and...

IIRC someone determined that a AC Delco professional grade 99.5+ water pump had the same housing as a 96.5-99 4 bolt water pump and to get the proper housing tweaks for the balance flow one had to stick with the OEM grade Delco water pump. No idea which thread had that info unfortunately.

Anyone have a torque value handy for the nut that holds the front output yoke on? I'm 1000 miles away from my service manuals. I'm on #2 with my 2767 Milwaukee, which is about 140 lb ft, as I use it on my lug nuts on that setting and double check with a torque wrench. I thought the manual said...

Also, is ultra black rtv resistant enough to atf for the seal retainer plate or do I need to buy some anaerobic sealer? I have some anaerobic on hand in KS that I used on the 93 case that's in it now, but none here in Idaho, I really should just pack it in the pickup...lol I'm leaning towards...

Pay attention to your front yoke setup and case length. 95+ is a direct yoke, 94 and older should be a flange. Shaft length is different so these are not interchangeable. Case length differs slightly, which might be problematic for your driveshaft. Unfortunately I ran into this on my 95...

thank you! just used it tonight.

chain auto parts store, store brand stuff is garbage id only put on a winter beater thats final stop is the scrap yard, and even that is debatable. Put quality on, its cheaper in the long run.

I still think the old girls are plenty viable in 2023, still cheap to buy and keep on the road. I just drug home 2 more since thanksgiving...lol 1800 bucks in both,and one drove home. I definitely wouldnt DB2 swap a factory DS4 rig, I happen to like, prefer, and seek out a DS4 over a DB2. In...

IMO the reason these crack is the lack of support rods from the motor mounts. i believe most if not all had them, but engine swaps and clutch jobs over the years have lost most of them. Whenever Im in a junkyard I keep an eye out for them.

Last week I rolled into the Idaho farm with the 95 K2500, capping off a nearly 1000 mile run from the KS farm, which isnt terribly impressive until you factor in the weight, poor old girl was at 23,240 combo weight. rolled over 451,000 miles on the trip. Prior to that it went up to MN to drag...

they do offer blank filters without the SCA brick. I'd be interested in a kit if someone made a nice one for the 6.5L We run them on farm equipment, and it seems the breathing through the overflow hose, a little dirt (tractor) or chaff (combine) gets in. always nice to filter that crap out.
