    "79" Chevy 1ton Ambulance 4x4 info

    Sounds like it could be a full time 4wd unit, NP203 case. A friends dad used to pull the front shaft during the summer months.

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    No trailering package I assume?? The 1500 CC are not built on the same frame as the EC/RC, also have lesser in the braking dept too. I hate these new unit bearings, why did they ever go that route?? Are the unit bearings on the HD trucks heavier built??

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    I have a clutch fan now, and DO NOT want a POS electric fan. That is a moot point. The only hauling I would do is what I do now, wood, corn, and tractor on the trailer. Looking at Property up North, so the tractor will need to make trips up there. Sure the 1500 Can do it, but when I replace...

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    Thankfully the 6.2L (Max trailer package required, but gets all wheel discs in Canada...YAY) Does not have cylinder deactivation, and I do not want it. One more thing to go wrong. My 5.3 does not have it now, and am happy with out it.

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    Naw, I was just razzing'. :) I know of a few folks that own the 6.0, and say they like the gas, but do not know anyone with the 6.2L. Curious about the mileage. I know the 2500HD will weigh more, so that will have to be figured into the equation a little. Are the transfer cases on the HD...

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    Yes both brand new. No older than 2011. Was going to EDIT and add the year to the original, but apparently you only have 5 seconds to do that... LOL :)

    Mileage question 1500 6.2 vs 2500HD 6.0??

    Both trucks being equal, 1500 Crew Cab, 5'8" bed, 4wd 6.2L 6 speed auto, 3:73 vs 2500HD 6' 1/2 bed, Crew Cab, 4wd, 6 speed auto, 3:73, 6.0, which one would get better mileage?? Or would they be comparable?? Sorta leaning towards eventually getting the HD, just for the longer bed. Would be nice...

    Extended Life coolant - Anyone running it??

    Thanks. What is G-05?? We will do a 'water flush' first...

    Extended Life coolant - Anyone running it??

    Thanks. I am @ 235,000 KMS (146,000 miles) and followed the GM service intervals, had itflushed @ 150,000 kms by the dealer. So, since the tractor is 2 years old, should be no harm in running the Cat ELC??

    Extended Life coolant - Anyone running it??

    No issue with seals then?? Does it matter what the rad tanks and core is made of??

    Extended Life coolant - Anyone running it??

    Synthetic brake grease - what brand/type??

    Bought an 8oz Bottle of Permatex Ultra with a brush on it, nice green stuff. Will last a long time. The problem I was having with the Kleen-flo in the tube is that it would seperate in the tube, and no real way of re-mixing it again. Bought new slider pins, new rubbers, did the brake service...
