Btw I followed the thread on your build and I really like where u went with the coatings and keeping it mechanical

I like the gear drive for the 100% accurate timing all the time ,chains are like anything else mechanical there is a break in period and they cant take into effect factors like cam centering and line boring/ honing of the crank that's why they have wear limits. The butt dyno tells that there is...

i have 30000 km on my engine with a gear drive in it and all seems fine, engine is crisper that any i have heard. harmonics....... not so sure about that i can't hear any noise from the oil filler tube with the cap removed and engine running and the engine seems really happy with it in there. i...

Just did mine 4months ago... Fought with it by jacking the engine up etc and finally admitted defeat and pulled the 3 bolts for the diff and the thing just about fell out, didn't even undo the axle shafts just let the diff hang. IMHO for all the time to pull the fan and ops and mount bolts I...

I'm not disputing the merits of the 5.9 at all i just dont like the noise is all, i know that they are a great engine. and apologise if i came across the wrong way

I agree on that, no way am I putting a 12v rattle can in my truck ,I hate the noise in the cab and that's the standard answer to anything ,lawn mower won't start....put a cummins in it I just wanted to keep it all gm. Would a guy have to do head gaskets to put the studs in or just pull them one...

So after taking all of your opinions and thoughts I have come to my decision.......I'm gonna keep the 6.5 after checking out the numbers and the mileage on the dmax truck (320000 km) its just not economically smart to put the dmax in, I was ok with the hours to swap it in but.... It would...

The other thing I was thinking is once I bump up the fuel with a buddy chip($) a hx40($) and four inch exhaust and when the 420000 km trans lunches where am I? Or just bite the bullet on the dmax and leave it stock for 300 hp and 450lb/ft and have it reliable

I don't know I pointed mine up some hills in bc this summer just the burb and it was embarrassing , engine fan on and 1100 egt had to back out of the fuel in third with the convertor locked. Granted the gm3 turbo is a big issue but I have doubts of the 6.5s. Pulling power with that low gearing...

As the title states I am giving this some serious thought, my 95 is in good shape with a low mile engine and t case but the rest of the drivetrain has 420000 km on it I have an opportunity to buy a complete wrecked 02 dmax truck for 3000, or just buy the axles and upgrade my burb from the 3.42...

Well I got my water pump pulley and bolts today and fan solenoid the clutch and fan arrive soon so will update when I get them installed, should be fairly straight forward as the hummer engines use all the same other pulleys as a civilian one

I hate to resurrect an old thread but..... I have taken the plunge on this project for my 95 burb, found a fan blade on eBay, and a good used fan clutch as well (thanks chief for the part numbers). And managed to track down a 12 volt fan solenoid. The part number I found was 1059-06607-01 that's...
