    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    They don't carry it in my area, but might in yours. Amazon would be cheaper for a tool kit that's occasionally used. another name for them is riv-nuts

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I agree. another name for them are nut-setter. it's a kit that tells you what size hole to drill, then insert the nutzert and use the tool to compress it into the steel. I would take measurements and center the seat on the tracks, mark where to drill and have at it. us a centering punch...

    5.7 diesel up and running

    I would warn against running diesel through the newly rebuilt pump and letting it sit up. I would run some thin oil or something that won't gel up or eat at the seals for long term storage. @Will L. may have some better ideas for what type of fluid to run through it for storage. I first...

    1994 dually 2wd

    it doesn't look too molested under the hood and it's cleaner than both of my trucks. kinda looks like it was a nice farm truck, got a whammy on the rear of the bed by the tailgate but would be a decent deal as long as the engine and trans are in decent shape.

    Not sure if this will help, but here is a downloadable book for the GM vacuum cruise control system. https://www.scribd.com/document/440705077/GM-1968-1982-Cruisemaster-Cruise-Control

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    iirc your cruise module is vacuum controlled. that should be a fairly simple system, but I don't recall if you still have your vacuum pump.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    No, I didn't even think about the egg trick. yesterday evening after dropping some black pepper and topping it off it seemed to hold and from the looks of it, it stopped leaking almost right away! I will know for sure after work today, I have been normally getting a small puddle within a...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I added some strip LED lights under the dash on my 93 and tied them into the running light circuit so that they are on when the headlights are on, I always like to see my feet in a vehicle at night. I have them on a resistor so there not at full brightness and set to a blue color so it just...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    the under dash light fixtures should be in that area you showed the pic of, if the fixtures are missing, with wires / bulb sockets should be there maybe tucked up in the dash so there not hanging. as for the cluster lights, I always replace them with LED bulbs. next time you pull the cluster...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Well the coolant leak on the 93 has been getting worse. the leak is the timing cover against the block. it's been a week since I had to add a full gallon of coolant and today on the way home I noticed the temps climbing up and hovering just a hair over 210. I let it cool after getting home...

    Just got a 1992 GMC Sierra 3500 dually w/454. Trying to get the electrical wiring corrected. Alternator is not activating to charge battery.

    Welcome @MarvinWoodie I would start with checking all of the fuses in the fuse box and fuse links on the terminal block on the passenger side firewall using a test light. once all is verified, then check for power at the back of the alternator. I assume the engine is throttle body fuel...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    The term is used in two ways. Water mist injection or water methanol injection. Both are used on diesel engines. A fine mist of water is sprayed into the intake while under acceleration to add power and to help cool the incoming air. There is a science behind it that helps improve efficiency...

    Sounds like your about as efficient as you can get. Now you just need to install WMI (water mist injection)

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I think with your current setup that's about the best you will see. fuel mileage will change drastically with how much lead is in your foot! but slight changes can be made with proper tire inflation too. what speeds do you normally see in your routeen routes? what size tires are you...

    My son's 1968 Chevy

    While we had the tank out, I found out why the gauge doesn't work. the brass float seems to have split apart. I tested the sender and it works so there's that. also in doing a little research looking at the tank design and knowing the PO bought several parts from LMC I believe we have found...
