That is smoother? That thing is shaking a LOT. That is a rough idle. Does it idle smoother after being warmed up? Positive no air through ip? Yes get the timing adjusted. The timing adapters are getting more expensive. But read this post if you want to get the tools yourself. You need...

We get a winter here. It’s already cooling a bit. Next Sunday and Monday in-fact we will be 66-87. See how that’s cooling off? I can admit that this last week at work there was a day I was excited to to work inside on a computer for a couple hours instead of catching sunshine rays…. Haha

Personally, I use Peanut Butter. It makes it corrode faster, and gives a worse connection the whole time. But it sure tastes better. Or bacon grease. That’s next level stuff.

They should work without being tested/ balanced. How well they work is unknown because modern production of old designs has become a game of how cheap can we make this part. When they build them- they may or may not test them. But back in the day, the German Bosch ones could be opened up...

Yeah, she doesn’t like being cold. Once your oil pressure is up, put it in gear and go. Idling a diesel isn’t good for it anyways. But otherwise, you’re can just start paying music like “smokey mountain range” …

Welcome. Post pics (a lot of them is fine) of what you have- the duramax didn’t exist in 98.

Nate, if it helps here is a video of a guy showing part numbers for the dual alt. He also shows the belt routing sticker. Maybe screenshot and have printed as a sticker for yours?

OOHH! I see shiny compressor parts hiding behind an extra alternator and wazoo fuel filter w/ maybe a pressure regulator hiding in the way back there… I would think that custom made dual alternator bracket you made (?) might be resell able to the 6.5 world. Anxiously watching for more info...

Looks like Marty is not planning on loosing any more squirt gun fights!😆

Start at battery connections. Load test batteries. If you haven’t replaced the crappy side mount cables for top mount yet, check the little puck that connects battery cables to each other. Check connections at starter and ground cable.

Make sure they are an AC Delco AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR. There is a ton of chinese knock off stuff and holding fake next to the real ones you can’t tell a difference in the part or the packaging. The best version of the stock style pump is AC Delco EP158. It will barely hit specs and usually...

If your a/c doesn’t blow as cold as you want then absolutely get the trans cooler behind it.

Yuppers. Get it red hot a couple inches past the bend in each direction then dunk in water to cool it superfast. This makes it hard and not bend as easily… or as I called it earlier unbend.

Welcome

My name is Will, get ready to drink from the firehose… I can’t remember how to tell which is which- just know to VERY CAREFULLY start to thread them in incase it is wrong. None of the 6.2 had a turbo factory, the 6.5 also started without a turbo- later they are added but were always...

On the handles and rods for opening the doors: We kept the handles in stock in the fleet. Diagnosed properly: the rod unbends itself. Then the handle maxes out. The common action is people pull the handle with fingers and that elbow gets used as a fulcrum to lever the door open. Quickly comes...

At 277hp/460 torque, and the timing maintenance issue - it would have to have some serious mpg to be worth it. In the smaller pickups they net 25 mpg, so in a burb. I would expect 22-23mpg. At my work we have a couple dozen now, and I been tracking with the guys who drive them daily. The ones...

Preference. Diesel engine, most say last year not DEF fluid. Gas engines, most say just before cylinder cancellation. I fit in with those opinions. On the gas, I am in love with the 6.0. Most go to the 6.2. Near bulletproof engine that gives good mpg and can tow well. If a person tows more...

Looking for a pic to help a guy, I stumbled on this video. Anyone interested in dual alternators ought to pull all the part numbers off this video and save them. It might be a good idea if someone writes them down and posts them here somewhere in case the video gets taken down.

At some point the chain in the transfer case will need replacing. Rebuilding the transfer case isn’t hard or expensive. How many miles on the 2500?
