Pull the oil fill cap. Start engine. If it huffing or just steady blowby? Fix the fuel leaks. Again WITH FEELING Fix The Fuel Leaks! It's the #1 troubleshooting step in the GM service manuals for a reason. Fuel leaks allow air into the fuel system. Air will compress where fuel will not...

The OEM TC clutch is weak: You don't want to override it as is/was a popular mode to manually lock the TC on. The more common failure mode is the TCC apply piston in the valve body wears out the bore and the TC slips from that. Changing the transmission oil often helps these components live...

Have you pulled codes? Note the speed sensor (input and output speed) wires like to have the insulation flake off and short out. Inspect the wire from the speed sensor plug where it joins the main harness for shorting. I have seen two 1993's do this both 6.5TD and a 454.

The cam gear is replaceable as part of a big job. The IP gear is able to be removed from the pump, but, it's the part I can't get new. The gears are the only item needing repair. My question is coating a new cam gear going to do any good with the existing IP gear wear?

I am working on a 12 DJC Onan 12KW generator and have severe wear on the gear drive for the injection pump. The camshaft gear that drives the pump is available and replaceable, but, the injection pump gear is unobtainium. I bought a parts set just for the injection pump, but, it's starting to...

Engine braking with this transmission: FORGET ABOUT IT!!! Yes, it only brakes in manual 3rd with the weakest afterthought small clutch pack there is. I have burned out several although that clutch pack being fried doesn't affect going forward. Because these transmissions snap off the input shaft...

I just happen to have one. Check the numbers to make sure they will work. $100 plus the ride. Worked when I parted out the truck due to another blown engine. Private message me if interested.

Can you see any wear in the pedal causing this? Removing the add on carpet help? The fix you have concerns me as there are many recalls on vehicles for the floormat jamming the throttle open. I recall the OEM floormat for these years was pretty thin rubber. It doesn't hurt to go over a...

Don't Do Drugs, Son! All our other "Drive By Wire" vehicles are NUMB. Some Drugs make you NUMB just like the lack of any feel on electronic throttles. This here 1993 only lacks "Feel" from a shift cable going to the transmission so you can't feel the edge of when it's going to downshift. You...

Make sure your tach is still accurate as GM's infinite stupidity used a larger diameter pulley on a lower RPM diesel to charge two batteries. A gas engine pulley on the alternator will read fast. You might be able to still get your core back and pulley swapped if needed. There are several...

Yes, you need WAGONEER or TAHOE spelled out in giant letters and be close enough to read it to tell the difference between them now... The rear seat comfort has come a long way in the designs of the big three as more and more Boomers are driven around by their adult kids.

You can go buy a Brand New 2024 Diesel Tahoe TODAY with a warranty. The other two of what was known as the Big Three have dropped diesels like hot potatoes for good reason. Except 3/4+ ton pickups of course.

As mentioned you need to lube the caliper pins often on a RAM. All 4! I did the rear pins on mine even though I was just doing the front pads. Some were dry already. Autozone's krap trashing a rotor when the pad came unbonded is here in the carnage thread. I pumped the brakes, because the...

Read the above post about the VSSB and quit chasing your tail for an ECM!

Cable won't solve that problem. Gears are not able to mesh until they move and align is what's hanging the motor or thermal actuator up. It will hang a cable as well.

96+ with the compressor on the driver side of the engine just like yours is now. I forget if the t stat housing needs to be changed and if you need the rare 1996 with a DB2 and cruise control. A detail you need to triple check before buying parts. The 88-95 serp belt drive have the POS R4...

So it ran at one point. The 1985 rods didn't change the compression ratio. It may have changed another way, but, for now we should assume it's standard high compression. The raw diesel smell and miss could be a bad glow plug. Loss of compression, bent valve, rocker arm come off etc. Video of...

All I can think of is the crankshaft doesn't have the proper depth for the converter. I assume it wasn't like this before. You are only replacing the engine OR are you doing both the engine and transmission? I was assuming engine only being changed. I see the bevel for the starter gear toward...

Since your here ... inspect the harness connector solder joints (to the board) for cracking. Do take the old ignition switch apart, but, only after you feel the problem is solved.

Looks like @Will L. post is accidentally confusing. There should be no "bearing" in the end of the crankshaft. The pilot bearing is for manual transmissions only, however, if it's put in by mistake or left in after a rebuild it's a problem with the automatic trans Torque Converter, TC. The...
