    Sucking Air

    Glad to hear you've narrowed the problem down some. Not sure if you're in the salt belt or not, but I personally can't stand the saginaw flare & o- ring fittings on the tank pickup/ sender unit. They seize up in salt country and usually leads to replacing sender and lines. If you're feeling...

    Turbo rebuild, replace, upgrade

    This is the intercooler I purchased https://www.ebay.com/itm/314019994048 Core size is 23" wide by 11.75" tall and 3" thick. Overall width according to the pictures between inlet and outlet is 30.75" it is definitely the largest cooler that will fit between the frame rails

    Need more bolt sizes

    Yes, #11 is correct for what I'm referencing. Same fastener is used on a manual transmission truck on one of the top passenger side bellhousing studs for securing the clutch line. The double ended stud also had a grounding strap on it from the starter on my '95

    Need more bolt sizes

    Found this, good to know it's still out there for securing starter heat shield to bellhousing https://paceperformance.com/i-19863171-11546890-stud.html

    Need more bolt sizes

    @SnowDrift heads up too that the bolt holes for securing the transmission to the engine are metric, M10x 1.5 on the GEP block. The early 6.5 blocks like yours most likely have 3/8- 16 threads, my '95 141 block did. I just thought of this as I'm putting a GEP block in a '93 and the bellhousing...

    '95 Engine build

    I'd also highly recommend installing while the engine is out

    Need more bolt sizes

    @SnowDrift the motor mount to block threads are M10x1.5 as I thought. The starter brace to block was a bit more tricky. M8 x 1.25 seemed the closest but I didn't want to chase it too much on the block. My tap kit doesn't go any more coarse than 1.25. In searching around it seems the correct size...

    Need more bolt sizes

    Sorry I didn't get to it tonight, 12 hour day putting up a deck and just got home. Eat bed turn around do it all over again. I'll try to report back tomorrow What is visibly larger, the motor mount to block bolts?

    Need more bolt sizes

    Most everything on the engine is a M10x 1.5. The motor mounts from my '95 fit my P400 just fine but I can check the thread sizes on the block for ya tomorrow after work x2 on the starter support bracket being M8x 1.5 but I can check that tomorrow too I'd also recommend new starter bolts, don't...

    GMT 800 Brake Conversion > Silverado HD 2500

    Question- apologies if it's already been covered here- Will the GMT400 wheel hub/ bearing assembly bolt into the GMT800 knuckle? And will the 800 series rotor slide over the hub without issue? I'm doing this conversion first to a '93 which didn't have ABS sensors. I know the 800 rotors slide...

    Wtb Banks 6.2l turbo manifold

    Sorry to hear it was lost in the move, hope it turns up. Sadly it also appears Banks has discontinued the manifold. Summit shows it as unavailable. I called Banks directly a few weeks back and was told it's no longer available. You may have to just hope one turns up on ebay or see if any 6.2...

    Engine Oil cooler fittings

    Yes you'll need two 45 degree NPT to JIC/ -AN fittings, depending on what kind of hoses you're running. I assume you're running an oil cooler with NPT fittings? One oil cooler line mod that isn't so common is keeping the stock section of aluminum lines and cutting off the rubber, flaring the...

    Driver’s Side rear LCA bolt removal

    @Big T I found a way to get the bolt out without dropping the diff. If you unbolt the CV joint from the stub shaft the bolt has *just* enough wiggle room to slide out. One of the hex sides has to be exactly parallel to the stub shaft face that's how tight it is. Didn't get a picture on one side...

    K3500 dualy parking drum brake fail

    I'd suggest getting an exact idea of your wheelbase- just measure center to center of each hub front to back. In looking on RockAuto's website there are 155" and 159.5" wheelbases so splitting hairs there may get you closer to what you need. Is your truck crew cab/ 4 door? The cab & chassis is a...

    K3500 dualy parking drum brake fail

    Different to connect how so? Is this the cable from parking brake cable to the adjuster? Post a pic if you can

    Electric to manual shift t case

    I'm not entirely sure, but you can get at least some of the wiring harness figured out if you buy the upgrade kit for changing from the thermal activated actuator to the electric motor style of '97+...

    New 6.5

    From what I've read on here, 14 psi is max boost for GM turbo For any engine, 18psi is max boost for head bolts. Anything above you'll want head studs. If going to bigger turbo and head studs, you really should install a CAC/ intercooler as well. People have run studded engines without a CAC...

    K3500 dualy parking drum brake fail

    Did you replace all other e- brake cables? The cable that goes from the parking brake pedal back to the adjuster can get really stretched out. I'd make sure all cables are new and verified correct size

    Driver’s Side rear LCA bolt removal

    @Big T I see what you mean now that I'm attempting to remove the LCAs on my K3500 project. Only on the passenger side at the moment. Rear LCA bolt on the pass side has the head facing the front and won't back out all the way before hitting the union of front diff and CV axle. When you say drop...
