    92 k2500 suburban 7.4L differential noise

    Passenger side of differential casting. 3/8" short extension will plug right into the square hole. Might need to clean it out the hole with a pick or screwdriver to get a good bite. if you refill, use a synthetic with friction modifiers or get the additive for posi-rear. Probably a good...

    Oil sampling 5.3 engine

    What would be stopping the tube from going all the way to the oil through the dipstick tube? It is a few inches shy of getting to the oil in the pan. Trying to pull oil out for a sample rather than drain out 2005 Tahoe if it matters

    New Optimizer Long Block

    No warranty on new factory engine is the reason I went the route I went.

    New Optimizer Long Block

    I was faced with a similar challenge a couple years back. You can read about the saga from my signature line if you want. Somewhere along the way, @Twisted Steel Performance commented that the engine I asked him to work on was the worst he had seen in terms of balance and it was essentially...

    New or rebuilt injectors

    New injectors are not pressure balanced by hand from Quadstar. Apparently new Bosch from India are assembled using automated equipment.

    New or rebuilt injectors

    Over on the other forum, there is a guy doing some testing on new injectors that are supposed to be the BOSCH from India. I'll be interested to see what he learns since I'm debating on whether to buy new or have mine rebuilt.

    New or rebuilt injectors

    Fakes? Box says Germany but that can be duplicated too I suppose.

    New or rebuilt injectors

    It is sounding like I am faced with the decision to buy a new set of injectors or have mine rebuilt. Bosch nozzles have been recommended and there is still debate on what pressure to run. I'm currently using a DS4 pump but my hope and plan is to eventually get to a DB2 pump. If I go with new...

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    Familiar sound to me from my original engine but I don't believe all the glow plugs were burning on mine - maybe that's why I heard it?
