    COLD start...:)

    So do these trucks come with block heaters??? If so, where and how the heck do I access it?? I live in WA and right now we are having 10-15F degree mornings and it sounds like a nasty beast for about 15-20 seconds.

    DIY Upgrades

    Hi everyone, just bought a 95 2500 (Info below). I am on a pretty small budget being a high school senior and all. But I want to know what DO IT YOURSELF Projects I can do. (See wish list below) >I already have an adjustable, vacuum controlled wastegate. Previous owner hooked up some...

    turning up the boost???

    What about a vacuum controlled wastegate? The previous owner on mine set up a t-bar system that he tied into the vacuum system which does the same thing as a mechanical wastegate.

    Newbie Question: Pressure in Fuel Tank

    I have another simple question, when I open my gas cap, I get a hissing sound, so I know there is a buildup of vacuum in the tank. How much is too much? Do I need to get a ventilating gas cap? Lift Pump precautions?? Thanks, Nick

    Random Starting/Starter Probs

    Rear End Gears and Gas Mileage?

    Ok, so I found out I have for sure a 4.10 rear end. Then I am also running 285 tires, which I believe are 31-32 inches tall. As for the Alternator, It looks like the pulley is pretty small, how much can that affect the RPMS? Lastly, what is the gas tank in these beasts? 30 something gallons?

    starter soleniod

    I don't know if my problem is anything to do with yours, but I cannot get my truck to start sometimes. It is random when I go to start it and I hear clicking, but no starter engaging. Sometimes it is fine, others I have to push start it. I am thinking it could be a bad ground??

    Rear End Gears and Gas Mileage?

    I know it has the NV4500, which I have heard is a very strong manual transmission. The granny gear is real steep. I just start off in 2nd. 1st you can only go about 5MPH in but you could probably pull a house down. I was just thinking it didnt have an OD because of how high my RPMS are at...

    Rear End Gears and Gas Mileage?

    Hi, I just bought a 1995 Chevy 2500 with the 6.5 and its a 5 speed with a granny gear, so its really only a 4 speed. I am cruising on the highway at about 1800-1900 RPMS at 55 MPH and 2300 or so at 65. The guy I bought it from didnt know what the rear end gears were, so I am assuming it...
