Wire in a push button switch to the glow plug controller tee off from the yellow wire on the 5 pin connector to the push button switch, then the other side of the push button switch to a fused positive (perferably switched pos from the key like tapping into the radio fuse on the inside fuse...

Got the new shifter cable installed. boy that was a challenge!! had to unbolt the drivers seat to get in there far enough, but finally got it in there adn adjusted. shifter is a little stiff, but not near as much play. when I pulled the old cable out, it had a length about 15" long where...

I just went and looked at my parts cluster I have. also looked on flea bay at diesel clusters. seems they are the same all the way up to 99. the cluster I have is for a gasser, but looking online, the printed ribbon circuits are the same. your welcome to mine for parts, I scavenged the oil...

Found a shifter cable on the jungle site for $20. said it fits 95-99 trucks, burbs, and tahoes. supposed to arrive sometime tomorrow, we will see if it fits. it'll be nice to not have to pull the shifter down an extra slot to hit drive and battle it to get in park plus have to use zipties to...

Got the batteries installed today, picked up some AC stop leak and some cans of 134a. charged up the ac. also cleaned out the CKO provent that I had on the 93 and installed it on the 95. checked the amount of blow by coming from the oil fill, it's nothing compared to the 93! just a slight...

I bet that's exactly what they did. I looked closer at your photos and it looks like the trace you repaired is a ground that goes between the left turn indicator and the indicator next to it. then the red line you drew would have passed that same ground to the WTS light (one with solder on...

chances are your lift pump is weak or it has one that's only rated for 5psi. I would plan to replace it with a Delco EP158. you can look at your pump and see if there is a tag on it with a part number still. If you extend your gauge so that you can watch it while driving, see what your...

Tomorrow I plan on getting the batteries installed, then I need to pull the belt and check the pulleys. I heard some chirping when I had it running, I think the tensioner pulley needs a bearing or the grease is dry from sitting. Might also be the alternator bearings. Then give the steering...

Started tinkering with the 95 today. didn't do a whole lot, but I did find out the batteries in it went south again! even with the trickle charger on it, the batteries failed. not sure what happened, but I made a trip back to the same place I got a set before and picked up a set of reburb...

Yea there's a lot on there. several hummve in texas.. my problem is if I managed to get one, I would not part it out for the truck, I'd want to drive it LOL. didn't see any take out engines though. several onan, cat, and cummins engines on there.

doesn't look terrible. the oil sheen on the water makes it look worse that it is. I would just clean it up best you can. might even spray some brake cleaner to dry up around the injectors too while your at it and just drive it. keep tabs on where it starts to show fresh wet spots and oily...

I guess I need to also find out which ball flex hone I would need, size and grit. was looking on the jungle site and found these. won't know if the block has been bored oversize until I can see it, but I hope one of the pistons would be marked and be readable since I don't have a bore...

What should I expect to see on a damaged piston? if ring lands are ok to accept net rings, I assume I'll see the piston face all pitted up. if there is an are on the edge that was smashed to contact the cylinder wall, would I just take a file and round that edge to true it up with the rest of...

one thing you can also do is carefully remove all of the bulbs and shine a flashlight into each hole one by one seeing which light each one is for also will tell you if one lights up two indicators on the cluster. this was the case on my cluster as someone had been in mine before me and had...

Take a closer pic of how the wire is added between the upshift and the wts socket. also where you repaired the trace. is your's a manual trans or automatic? the wts light is the gp light. the wait to start should be lit when the GP's are running. find the pin in the connector for...

if it's not leaving puddles or lots of drip spots on the ground everywhere you park, I wouldn't worry about other leaks like valve covers. with valve cover leaks, you main concern is oil getting into the starter and it going out. worst case is when the starter is hot from the engine running a...

Maybe tomorrow if I get the chance I will record a video of it running with the oil cap off. last I did that when fully warm, it was puffing and whistling as the pressures blew out the oil fill. she's near death already. I think more so now that I've sealed up the valve covers so they don't...

So if the cylinder walls are wavy new rings will still seal by running the ball hone? and should I worry about the cylinder ring ridge if it has one? other question is on the piston, a pinched ring land / stuck ring, can they be lightly filed to un-stick the new ring going in? I think the...

Found this on YT.

New pistons on RA seem to run about $100 each, I think I am gonna find three that possibly have damage. don't think I want to have to replace them if they can be saved and ran again on new rings. was thinking in my mind that using a flat stone hone to try and true up the cylinder, then a...
