    Coolant temp fluctuates - thermostat or gauge?

    I did the 98+ water pump upgrade recently on my 96, reused the single t'stat crossover with a AC Delco 195* thermostat. I also removed the radiator and flushed 14 years of farm dirt out. Since I did this, the operating temp seems to fluctuate between 185-195 on the gauge. I can watch the...

    Injectors

    I bought my set of new Bosch injectors from Advance Auto, they got the price pretty close to Rock Auto's. I'm a commercial customer there, so that may have helped. They were India injectors, but new Bosch nonetheless. Worked great so far, but didn't clean up the white smoke puff at startup...

    A couple of drivetrain issues with the truck

    I'll look into that, thanks. I've rebuilt several transfer cases, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I have a 2 piece driveshaft, but I will check the output shaft endplay also.

    A couple of drivetrain issues with the truck

    I posted this over on the other "place" but I figured I should post it here as well to get some other opinions. 96 K2500 "F" code NV4500. Clutch replaced ~5k ago by PO. The other day as I was turning a corner and letting the clutch out, the transfer case popped into neutral. I didn't think...

    Removing shift boot?

    Yeah, it's amazing. I installed a 3" straight pipe exhaust at the same time the truck was in the shop; it's quieter now even with the louder exhaust.

    Wrapped up several projects on the truck

    Finally completed several projects I've been slowly working on the last few weeks. 1) My oil cooler lines were leaking from the crimp, and I had band-aid fixed them with compression fittings and new flex hose, but one of the !@#$% ferrules started leaking again. I decided heck with it and...

    Removing shift boot?

    Just an update to this thread. The original gasket I ordered from the dealer was listed incorrectly in their lookup. The correct part number is 15024604 and was $20.74 wholesale cost. IIRC they list it as an "isolator". The noise difference in the cab is amazing, definitely worth the $20 and...

    5 spd + Cruise control???

    Little late, but my 96 has cruise and a 5 speed, and my buddy's 94 also has cruise and a 5 speed. Maybe it's just my truck, but WOW does it kick out hard when you tap the brakes.

    Removing shift boot?

    Got it, thanks. Ordered a new gasket from the local dealer; $8. PO only had 2 screws holding the boot down anyway, kind of glad I had to pull it up.

    Removing shift boot?

    96 K2500 NV4500. The PO of my truck replaced the clutch, but either forgot or didn't want to put the boot gasket back in. As a result, I get a lot of road and engine noise coming up from the boot. It is just a matter of pulling it up from the floor, or is it fastened down somehow? Just...

    New guy with 1st 6.5

    Thanks guys. I could honestly care less about the tailgate, just makes it less desirable to steal :D I would like to find another p/s door, but same thing; it works.

    New guy with 1st 6.5

    Yeah, if I happen across a better tailgate for cheap, then I'll go for it. This one works, and is "pre-treated" so I'm not going to worry about it.

    New guy with 1st 6.5

    Thanks for the compliments. It has 152k on it now.

    New guy with 1st 6.5

    I've been doing some heavy reading on here and the other "place" for a while now, figured I better post up some info and pics of the truck. I picked it up on eBay before Christmas, and love it so far. It's a bit tight for our family of 5, but finding a crew cab 4x4 SRW in my price range...
