Finished it last year i think. Just hadnt been on here in ages.

That thought had also crossed my mind. Rebuild it as a 350 truck would get me probably 4 to 5 grand. Depending on how far i go. And i understand the pain. Had my share too. But this one wont HAVE to run like my last build. It is just a project. I have a reliable jeep and a motorbike. And that...

It was my understanding the 6.5 turbo fits if the truck doesnt have air con. Maybe i need to go back and do some more reading. It has been a while...

Another super late update but i did eventually get this sorted. Tore the engine out again and cleaned it all the threads with painstaking care. Used genuine arp thread sealer, replace all the o rings and used some silicone on them. Finally sealed.

As a really late follow up i did get this RC finished and had the badges made up for it. (I know the badges are wrong for the 89 to 91s) Full build here if anyone is interested in 1/10 rc http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/rc4wd-trail-finder-2/570782-j-pearts-91-crew-clod-long-box.html

Ya i was thinking swapping it to a mechanical pump and using a standalone trans controller initially( and is not rulled out by any means), but using the stock computer was suggested and i wondered at the feasibility of it. Obviously its possible... but how practical. And dont worry there will...

Why the hostility? I remember this site being more welcoming. This isnt about saving money, this is a project for me and a third vehicle. I want another diesel blazer. For the record in up in canada and finding a good blazer here is often upwards of 8 grand. CUCVs of any type are rare up here...

So ive been without a chev for a while but i just picked up an 87 blazer. More or less a rolling shell with a tbi 350 and no trans/t-case. My dad also gave me a 96 2500 6.5l. First thought was to change it to all mechanical but i would like to use the 4l80e (i know i need a passenger drop...

thanks. i was thinking about trying the hood ornament, but i figured it would get knocked off to easily. pictures wouldn't be bad though. maybe i'll give it a shot anyways.

i am starting with tamiya Clodbuster monster truck bodies and modifying them with styrene stock. they are actaully closer to 1/12th but look good. im using modified RC4WD trailfinder 2 kits for the chassis. leaf sprung 4x4 with 2 speed transmissions. The chassis for the blazer is done and...

although you know, why not. i can make it a chevy suburban.

If it takes a couple days that's fine. For the emblem im just looking for a good shot of the big 6.2L diesel badge as straight on as possible. From the suburban i was hoping to get the 'Suburban' badge on the tailgate/barn doors and the sierra, sierra classic, or high sierra fender badges-...

hi, i haven't been on here in a while as i sold my 6.2s :mad2: but i was hoping someone could help me out with a few photos. I'm building some rc trucks. GMs of course, and well i want them to have the 6.2 diesel badges. i know i guy who can make them but he needs photos and dimensions. i...

Does removing the silencer ring improve the turbo performance at all or is it just a noise restriction? For the pump mods you suggest, is the a walk through thread somewhere? i know a bit about the db style pumps on the old fords and gms but not the inline pumps on the dodge. also you say it...

So my dad is looking to get some more power out of his 95 cummins. its an auto (recently rebuilt). he uses it for his farm truck and pulling equipment and vehicles from time to time. Im looking for bolt on mods and do it yourself-er stuff. nothing that involves pulling or tearing down the...

Thanks for the suggestion.It does sound promising. but the truck will be towed back up to dad's place tonight and i wont be touching it for at least two weeks. need to give myself some time away from it. I may try it out then and see if that stops the leaks.

I tried the GM sealant tabs last time, an there was still a bit in the system when i put it all back together. (i know its not the same as you are suggesting but i dont think i should mix the things). I could toss in another tab i suppose.

looked ok for a while, but i have signs of contamination again, water level has dropped a bit and oil has some odd signs in it as well. Time to decide on this things fate. might try to find a k3500 crew cab srw, or maybe another burb, and swap parts over or sell it as a parts package. I know i...

The rad hose doesn't get very hard, but i do know the rad cap is failing. going to pick up a new one later today. I'll do an oil change tonight. hopefully everything checks out.

So i got the heads out and cleaned up. and started looking at how to 0-ring the studs. ended up settling on a 112 o-ring and a 45/64's bit. before doing the heads we made up a test rig (this is because the o-rings would sit against the studs upper threads). We used a piece of plexiglass and...
