    88-94 to 95-98 dash swap worth the effort?

    I appreciate the thought. I've been walking, trying to keep my activity level up. Yesterday, my wife had to come pick me up in the car. I was only making it about 50' at a Crack before I had to stop and let my heartrate slow down.

    4L80E slipping in first then not shifting

    On one of the vehicles, I had a spare something around. Drilled a hole and welded the bunge

    4L80E slipping in first then not shifting

    Mine for the boat wasn't terribly slow. But that only held 4 quarts after the filter. An old inline 120 or 140

    1994 4L80E sat 10 years, slow, inconsistent engagement

    I'd recommend Amsoil ATF. I don't know if it was the fluid - I know, years ago, back in the 1990s some of my circle track racing friends swore by it. I changed the fluid in a friends car while they were on the mail route and they got another week or more out of it.

    88-94 to 95-98 dash swap worth the effort?

    Hell, I'm willing to pay shop rate and supply about everything. Just because everything is blocked up & it easier to do things here. I have the fan, exhaust and inner fender off the truck. Need someone to pull the harmonic balancer and verify the Fluidampr I have is correct. I believe the...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I hate to guess, but I've seen them.last a long time with just a drip. Others fly apart and take out the radiator. I'm not sure if these water pumps are prone to the worst case scenario or not.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I can't givevan opinion on your water pumps. I don't know what's available or how they hold up. I always tried sticking with new ACDELCO I stay away from Rockauto. No customer service if you have any issue with the water pump - that's my experience, anyway. Rockauto was all good until...

    In my experience, if your current thermostat is working. Don't mess with it. New doesn't = good

    88-94 to 95-98 dash swap worth the effort?

    I'm not up to doing anything right now. Maybe in a few months. Just got back.to bed from trying to bait some traps. I've got a long list before messing with the dash would get to the top. I don't have much luck finding anybody hire for anything simple. Much less something like that.

    88-94 to 95-98 dash swap worth the effort?

    I wonder how much a dash like that would cost. If you could buy one.

    1994 4L80E sat 10 years, slow, inconsistent engagement

    I've never had much luck reviving an auto trans with a fluid change. Even though I always changed my trans fluid and filters, I still never made it over 300,000 on an automatic transmission. I'd just change the filter and see what it does.

    New Injection Pump Shelf Life

    I know there's Triangle Diesel in Irwin Illinois and the place in Michigan I used to use. I don't know that either are still doing 6.5 Diesel injection pumps. I sold the 1996 with rebuilt injectors and injection pump for less than the IP was worth. I know Triangle Diesel was still...

    New Injection Pump Shelf Life

    Are there any places that would rebuild either of your injection pumps that you could overnight it to And get it back in decent time? Could your air infiltration be after the fuel supply hose to the IP - at the nipple or the fuel pressure gauge T area?

    Suction Side Air Leaks

    Is there any area you can isolate and put air pressure to? I've added ball valves and pressure gauges to things and then pumped them up. How much pressure can the fuel system stand between the tank and the IP? I think I might be suspect of your IP or FFM. Possibly fuel pressure gauge sending...

    P0216 DTC

    Been there. The water can't be lower than 25' or it won't suck. I wish I hadn't plugged my old well. At one time, I was dug down deep enough, I could have put a pit in.
