So I finally gernaded my 93 K3500 Today, overheated (had a cracked he or head gasket issues), something started rattling pretty good and it started dumping nothing but pure unburnt fuel. lost at least 1 cylinder maybe more and it died on the side of the road. Good news is I called up a...

I guess I am gonna try and make one tonight or tomorrow, ordering a new one from the stealer would take forever and it seems that guys dont keep the brackets around when they are parting out the trucks.

question here, what are you guys doing when upgrading the starter? I have one truck that had the older style starter from an 86 or so 6.2 and the truck is now a 6.5 conversion and the starter packed it in, replacement is the newer style starter, but the bracket no longer works as the old style...

oh forgot to mention also all of a sudden my volt meter is sitting around 9.5-10 volt and my tach basically sits at 5-600 it dosnt move from that spot no matter what you do any ideas on this as well? (found I had a broken charge line from the alt to the battery so I fixed that tonight (crimped...

okay, so I scored some newer alloy style wheels for $200 with tires, there mounted on the truck now. I did grab the other 8 bolt wheels from the burb, but they are the older style for the drum brakes. Turns out the burb was a 95 4x4... so computer from the burb is now in my truck. No more...

well took it all apart, the park brake's were screwed got them freed up and released, calipers were okay, 4.10 gears in the rear end, semi floater axles. put some new axle seals in, diff fluid with the posi additive, now to figure out what is in the front, otherwise I may be looking for a...

okay, well the truck is a 8600LB gvw, and has 8 leafs, but of course with the rearend being changed out looks like it might be a light duty 8 bolt rearend with the rest of the truck being a heavy duty. find out more later today when I pull the diff cover.

thats what I thought as well, but wasnt sure with the upgraded disc brakes/rearend and I have a buddy who argues that 2500 8 lugs should have been a full floater, but I think he is smoking some good stuff. I thought full floater were more for the 3500 SRW and the DRW, or the 3500HD cab and chasis.

Did some research today and by the casting numbers on the calipers the rearend has likely been changed to a 1999-2001 2500 silverado, or suburban with rear disc brakes. I will confirm that when I tare it all apart... now I am hoping that they matched the gear ratio in the rear end, since the...

well went ahead this week and worked on the truck more, ended up putting new front calipers, brake hoses, and wheel bearing on the driver side. new caliper and hose on the passanger side, and I have to replace the abs sesnsor yet. I have the part just haven't gotten to it yet. put new gm...

Working on my brother in-laws truck, it is a light duty 2500 originally had a 6.2, thinking it is now a 6.5 with ATS Turbo, looks like the motor is from a van though as the turbo is at the head on the pass side. there dosnt seem to be a waste gate. he traded a car for this back in the spring...

took a long break from working on the truck over the spring/summer. finally found some more steel rims for it, shot them black, and changed the tires for some that have some tread. changed the pass side caliper since the original one locked solid (smoke coming off of it). Still havent sorted...

checked the vacuum lines and no visible cracks, the wastegate solenoid is hard to move at an idle, the lift pump seems to be working fine. went for a longer drive after clearning the codes to see what might come up. Now I have the following codes. 33 44 45 48 87. so changing the baro...

oh the other thing... where is best place in canada to get the pmd extension harness and then I will actually hook up the fsd cooler that is sitting under the hood since the pmd is still hooked up on the injection pump. the other thing I was thinking is maybe I am sucking air from the fuel...

replaced the baro sensor and cleared the codes again, now I am only getting codes 44 and 45. So I am thinking replace the plastic vacuum lines with rubber ones, then I dont have to look for the cracks in the plastic if they are replaced. what else would cause the 2 codes? lift pump seems to...

had the truck to the tranny shop for the code 85.. they couldn't find anything wrong with it and said to due a service. What they did say is it felt like the engine was cutting out for a brief second or two but they didnt believe it was the tranny... any ideas on what may cause it to cut out...

anyone got a vacum diagram for these? as far as I can tell there is only the 1 vac line from the pump to the turbo waste gate. I will pickup a vac gauge though and make sure it is not on the intake side somewhere.

well think I may have messed up on that. the eighth digit is "F" and the 10th is "S" so if reading the vin from left to right then it is a "F" truck. But if reading it from the right to left (last 8 of the vin) then it is a "S".

trans shop I trust, on my 93 one trans shop told me complete rebuild and this shop scanned it and said do the output sensor and fluid/filter.. it's been good since then on that truck so I trust them to scan this truck at least and let me know what is going on with this trans. and they dont...

eighth from the end of the vin is an "S" so I would assume no EGR on it.
