    Front Wheel Bearings/Hubs... Which to use? Which to avoid?

    My wife's '93 K2500 4x4 Sub had some play in the LF wheel when I jacked it up to change the fuel pump. The RF didn't, so I suspect the wheel brng. It doesn't make any noise or feel ruff thru the wheel. In any case, I would like to buy a spare. I chkd RockAuto, and there are so many versions. I...

    Timbren's... Any Good?

    My friend has a 2007 Chevy 1500 Silverado 4x4 excab 6" bed, and he will be towing a 6000 lb trailer (loaded), and thinks he should install Timbren's. I think they're highly overrated, or promoted. He normally travels empty. I think they just are rubber bumper snubbers, and will do nothing to...

    I have a bad 700r4, can i use a 4l60e/4l80e? i cannot find a 700 for a diesel anywher

    I had a friend rebuild my 4L80E, but he's in Toronto area. Parts were close to $1000 w TC and all best quality soft parts and SH to US. There's alot of places to skip, like bushings, using "good enuff" used parts. I have many vids of us, and he post vids of whatever tranny he's building in his...

    manual transmission on early 90"s diesel truck

    NV3500 Vs Getrag Vs Borg Warner For A 6.2/Banks '64 El Camino Glimmer In My Eye...

    So I went to the Montreal International Car Show yest w a friend, and he was driving a '94 2wd Chev pickup. V6 w a NV3500. I have minimal to no knowledge about these trannys, and only hear the same old "they're junk". He explained that the '93 was the 1st year, and his '94 had a larger input...

    OT: Someone In Grass Valley Sac To Look At A '64 El Camino

    Well... back in 1982ish, I was 22, and looking to buy some kind of rare muscle Chevy, and at the time, a guy in New Jersey had a triple black 1970 LS6 El Camino, pretty sure it was a numbers matching truck, as guys weren't playing with bogus or tribute cars then. There was also a guy in Los...

    OT: Someone In Grass Valley Sac To Look At A '64 El Camino

    That sounds great... I just got some more pix, and it's pretty rusty considering it's a California truck. Disappointed... If you feel like going for a little trip to look at I would appreciate it, the seller really doesn't now how to take good pix. I'll try post the ones he sent me. Yup, figured...

    SS Diesel Glow Plugs... Cause My '95 6.5 Sub Needs Glow Plugs

    Promoting? I wonder if their reputation is really deserved? I was saying that I've called 2-3 times, and always got a human, and got answers to my questions, and someone had to give me that time. I never bought anything, so thot it was only fair to throw them a bone. On the other hand, I don't...

    Any luck w the injectors from SS Diesel? Staff Edit: Removed Link to Non-Site sponsor I think I'm most concerned w fuel mileage. I have cars w big engines, so the $150 fill ups have me convinced I need to get better than 15mpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD07GEZdmIo

    SS Diesel Glow Plugs... Cause My '95 6.5 Sub Needs Glow Plugs

    My 6.5 wouldn't start the other day, and it was just a little below freezing. So I plugged her in, and put on the batt charger, and she was fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U7bKpTJ7zA I replaced both batts a couple of days ago, and it def cranks faster, but still has a few dead glow...

    Fast Idle Solenoid Switch... Where Is It? 1984 6.2 Suburban K2500

    I've used every kind of V belt, $4 ones that are too wide, top cog, green line, Goodyear, Kelly Springfield, Delco etc. None last, they all stretch and squeal. Truck is BONE STOCK! Old switch is out, new one will go in as soon as I warm up, heat's off in shop

    Fast Idle Solenoid Switch... Where Is It? 1984 6.2 Suburban K2500

    I will post pix of the cold adv switch, and the radiator, which after it arrvd, I saw that it was fr China. The glow plugs in this '84 Sub, (the one in the vid, I have a few) work perfectly. I've never touched anything. My other K5 Blazer, also '84 and 6.2 has messed up wiring, but the fast...
