I thought I would have time yesterday to do more, but it didn't happen. We sold a pup, so we have the funds to go to my family reunion this weekend. Consequently, we spent most of the day getting things done ahead so being gone for the weekend won't put us very far behind when we get home...

Just a quick note. I haven't gotten lost, just prior commitments have kept me buried in stuff (church, and volunteering to help church womens groups' rummage sale set up). Been into town already this morning and had to get the van back for my daughter to use. I have another prior commitment to...

I've been sitting here scrolling back and forth trying to make sense of what I'm seeing/reading. All I can truly say is that I'm overwhelmed. My only intention for posting was hoping and praying that there was an inexpensive answer to my dilemma, and instead there is an outpouring of help and...

My 1994 K2500 pickup motor, with electronic IP, has massive blow-by, uses/loses oil, and what sounds like a collapsed lifter. I'm on a very limited income and can't afford to rebuild, or replace with something like an Optimizer, or even a military take-out. I finally found a used 1990 6.2 NA out...

What about the water pump lubricant that the green stuff supposedly has that apparently needs refreshed/replaced periodically? How does the Evans approach this situation? Don

Cheap OPS is not generally very good. I went the Standard brand of OPS and had it go bad in about 6 weeks, even with having also done the OPS bypass mod. The bypass mod uses a solenoid to handle full power 12V, and using the OPS just as a trigger circuit for the solenoid to power the lift pump...

Well, I feel kind of stupid now. I spent a lot of time tracing out stuff and scratching my head wondering why I had only keyed power to the brake fuse. I left the pickup setting today and went to work on cleaning up brush and moving wood from a tree I had cut down. My back started to bother me...

Thanks Ferm for the reply. I have checked that fuse, and it has power to it, and through it. The one strange thing I have found is that according to the wiring schematic, and according to all I have been used to, that fuse should have unswitched power. But, it is definitely switched power. I...

Thanks for the reply Will. What you said in your post is exactly what I did. I had to order some other stuff from Rockauto so I just included a new AC Delco switch for about $8. It didn't work. I'm far from financially able to just replace stuff willy-nilly. The wife was off work for two months...

I have been busy and have not re-visited my brake light problem until this week. To recap-- no brake lights, cruise won't shut off with the brake pedal, and four way flashers do not work. Tail lights work, turn signals work, back up lights work, I have power at the brake fuse , fuse is good...

I had to replace my rad core support due to damage from kissing the tree. Fortunately I found one off a 93 diesel, mine is a 94, and it was a perfect swap. However, the gasser core support has a smaller rad opening. If my memory is correct, it's been 5 years since I bought this as a project...

Thanks WW for the reply. Just now got back to this, been a very busy week for me. I haven't been driving my pickup very much for the past year or so, my Astro gets a bit better fuel mileage. But, I had to drive it today. I forgot about the CC problem and was caught by surprise again today. I...

This is not directly on topic, but, it may involve the brake switch. This involves a 94 K2500 pickup. A few days ago I was on the freeway, and was using the cruise control. I exited and stepped on the brake pedal to slow down. I couldn't slow down! I pressed harder on the pedal. The tranny...

I have a high blow by motor. When I put on the HX35W I never re-mounted the CDR tube to the air supply to the turbo (all new intake silicone hoses, switch location of battery and air filter) because I didn't want the turbo to be loaded up with all the oil. Instead I used some extra tube and ran...

If you do your own HB install here's a tip I got from somebody else, I think on this site. Do you have a floor jack with a removable handle? Use it for an extension handle for your breaker bar. With the long jack handle you can get enough force to come up in the neighborhood of the torque needed...

I realize this is several days later, but----- My experience with using a gasser air box is that they are the same---almost. In mounting a gasser air box I found that there is a slight difference in shape to accommodate for clearance to the turbo. The K47 has an indent in it to allow...

I think there are a lot of variable factors in mileage. When I was talking economy I was thinking of my 1983 6.2 half ton pickup. I picked it up real cheap and was planning to cut it down and make a trailer. I drove it for a while first to get an idea how well it ran as I was wondering if I...

I would guess that the solenoid is for the glow plugs. I wonder what exhaust manifolds were used? I would really like to know as that is what I need to set up for a 6.2 in my Toyota FJ-40. I've often wondered what performance in my 40 would be like with a center mount turbo. Should be real...

You will need to check the spring perch locations on both axles. They could easily be different since the axles are from different vehicles. Not hard to change spring perch locations if you have welding ability, or know someone who does. Don

I grew up around farms/farm trucks and have never seen anything like that before. It has to be a custom built bed. Don
