    Can you put a 6L90E into a 4L80E '98 K2500 Suburban 6.5TD?

    I wonder if you could add one of these overdrive kits to a 4l80e? http://www.gearvendors.com/cg2wd3s.html

    I think it will if it thinks its to cold, seems like I had a issue once like that. There was 2 temp sensors. one for the guage and one for the trans. They are cheap so its worth a try.

    The solenoids are about $35 to change. If you have the pan off you may want to try that. Im not real big on OBD2 so Im not sure what the difference is. I know the computer in my truck is only for the transmission. It has no engine computer. I would assume your computer does everything.

    4L80E 2nd only and blowing fuses

    I had a similar issue, if I shut the key off and turned it back on it would correct the problem normaly until the truck cooled down. I'm not sure if I still have the problem or not. I dont drive the truck in the winter.

    Can you put a 6L90E into a 4L80E '98 K2500 Suburban 6.5TD?

    What about those 2 speed gearboxes they made for TH400 transmissions? You could either have it to gear up or down.

    My truck has you beat on miles for all original. I think Im around 290k. I seen some guys running around with a 3500HD with a 10ft contractor bet loaded with tools plus a bigass trailer with a small excavator on it. It was rolling coal pretty good.

    Really really hard start

    Yikes, I played around with the old ones sticking them on a battery to try them out. This was my first time ever working with GP.

    Really really hard start

    I got them all changed, I had to pull the down pipe off. It wasn't real cold out, maybe 25F and it fired right up. I checked the old glow plugs, there was 3 that were still good. They were the front 3 on the passenger side. The old GP were AC delco, they all came very easy, I did pray for...

    Tips on changing glow plugs

    I got the right wheel off and the down pipe and soaked everything in PB and the in WD40. Ill go soak it again later. Ive had good luck using PB then following it with WD. I think the PB help pull in the WD. I pulled one easy to get glow plug out. It came out pretty easy.

    Really really hard start

    Since I'm pretty sure I have at least 4 junk glow plugs I'm going to start there. They should be here in a day or two. Another reason I don't think its a problem of it turning over to slow is when it didn't want to start I did a lot of cranking on it and you could hear the engine slowing down as...
