    What are the best for the money replacement headlights for the 96 Suburban?

    x2. 3M kit says one use IIRC, but if one is not an idiot they can do a whole fleet of trucks. Good stuff.

    Fluidamper Installation/ Harmonic Balancer Removal + Pulley Replacement

    Back with 'ya folks. Here's the snout. Not a nick, gouge, scratch or corrosion at all. Beautiful. Put a little turbine oil on the snout to facilitate new balancer installation. To all of those out there who said their new balancer slid on easily, good for you because mine didn't. once...

    Fluidamper Installation/ Harmonic Balancer Removal + Pulley Replacement

    Allrighty guys and gals. I figured I'd try my hand at installing the new fluidamper this weekend. Nothing apparently wrong with either but I'm high strung and worry about everything. I must have researched the installation from three or four different locations, but one never really gets the...

    Vac pump delete and mpg's

    I also used I NAPA belt at 99 7/8 IIRC. The tighest belt I ever installed. After loosining the alternator bolts and ac compressor bolts, having a buddy hold the tensioner, I tapped it on with a soft mallet. It did not stretch as much as I thought like most everyone else said, but it still did...

    Duramax Fan Blade on 95 Stock Clutch?

    That's what I was thinking too just by looking at the pictures of the fan. The only way I could see using the 6 bolt clutch with the d-max fan would be to do some serious compass measuring and hole drilling. Not a fun time to me to get it right. Otherwise it would require using only four of...

    Walking J in LMC?

    It appears that the block items I think you are reffering to are simply new screw clips in case the old ones under the dash are worn out.

    Duramax Fan Blade on 95 Stock Clutch?

    Thank you for the info guys. I did the research and here is the rules for the fan to clutch with 6 bolt configuration. '96 the clutch changed to the 4 bolt fan to clutch. Also, in '99.5, the 4 bolt clutch to water pump changed to the threaded shaft. Make sense everybody? Using the wrong...

    Duramax Fan Blade on 95 Stock Clutch?

    Does anyone know if a duramax fan blade can be directly bolted to a 95 stock clutch? And if so, what year d-max blade. Since the thread in the stickys about adjusting the kick in temp. I would rather keep the stock clutch and just replace the blade.

    Fluidampr....

    Any of you helo guys out there that work with accelerometer vib tests on tail rotor drive shafts know what kind of vibration the hanger bearings on the huey had. The blackhawks have viscous dampers and the vib levels are minute compared to the old hanger bearings. Not only that I can tell you...

    Valve Cover gasket(or no gasket) on 6.5

    Remove the intake and the entire line. You have to remember even if you get the front of the cover over the rocker arms, the back edge will catch on the rear arms. Not only that, flexing thoes injector lines is never a good idea. It isn't worth the heartache of jamming up a brand new...

    What exactly is the difference between the S and F VIN? Pictures?

    I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the exact components that an S VIN has for the EGR system with pictures that the F does not have. My truck is an S VIN but there is no EGR components on it. I was wondering if the previous owner switched the intake.

    Manual Wastegate

    I found the thread right away after adding to this thread. Thanks for your input guys. There's a really great breakdown for dummys with a potentiometer so you can adjust the settings of the boost sensor. That way the sensor can still give the light at the settings that you want. Great to...

    When you build a Turbo-Master ...

    About my 6.5 ... Thanks. No EGR system. I am becoming a big fan of the promptness of responses on the site. I think I have found a new home! I was also wondering JaFaire. How does your truck pull with the 3.73s? What kind of weight do you pull? I assume you have a 4L80E, but what RPMs are...
