    Bought a '73 Goat D100

    '73 was the second year of the body style that lasted from '72-93.

    6.5 into 67 C60

    Kind of surprised the idea of using an NV4500 itself didn't come up considering it would also provide OD in 5th gear.

    "Vegas" '94 Sierra K1500 Ex cab SB

    It is the original pump to the truck with nearly half a million Kms on it...Changed out the PMD and Lift pump when it started with the issues it had that ended up causing it to be parked. So not really much left in the system to replace at that stage. Plus the truck has always had issues with...

    "Vegas" '94 Sierra K1500 Ex cab SB

    Wow...sorry for digging this old thread up but figured it would be better to do this with the old thread rather then starting a new one on this truck...didn't realize it has been 4 years since the truck was last driven...Life took some sharp turns on me which put it on the back burner. Hopefully...

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    Could i place the check valve where the stock lift pump would be?

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    Cool good to know that the check valve would solve that possible problem. The logic behind the idea is to provide easier access to service the filter and secondly to get the pump and filter out of harms way when off road. Some of the trails i drive on have a habit of putting me in situations...

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    Using a pump like the walbro you sell mounted in the bed with a filter mounted before the pump. The thing i was concerned about was line routing. The way i was thinking of doing it was leaving the stock fuel lines as they are and using the bypass kit i got from you to run hoses from the stock...

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    I remember reading that thread before! I belive it is infact an mgw thread that explains it. Either way I lift it the diff is moved so win win. Tbh since im loosing faith in the gm ifs system its most likely gonna be sas. So with that said I guess my 6.2 becomes my back up engine for my '94...

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    The 6.2 is out of an 82 or 83 silverado 4x4 and yes I have the original pan plus I have a 6.5 pan kicking around that could be used to show where the 6.2 pan would need to be modified to clear the ifs diff. Powered by Detroit Diesel

    More Fuel System upgrade questions

    Hey Guys i have a couple more questions about fuel system upgrades i am considering for my truck. I have seen mention of lift pumps being mounted in the bed in a thread i read on here recently. I am looking at the Walbro pump that Burning Oil sells and i was wondering if it would have enough...

    6.2 Diesel in GMT400 chassis questions

    Ok since my original plans for my 6.2 did not pan out I havr some questions about dropping it into my '94 eventually. From my understanding I may need to find an oil pan from an early gmt400 chassis truck that is 4wd with the 6.2 due to clearances around the diff correct? Could the original...

    Hydraboost conversion questions.

    Thanks for the info guys! Hydraboost is def on my to do list with this truck. So I understand correctly I may need to pull the brake pedal from the hydraboost donor if its 95+? Powered by Detroit Diesel

    Is it safe to body lift a 6.5 powered truck?

    Hmmmm this def sounds encouraging. So basically if I mod the shroud and run the HO water pump with Dmax fan I can safely run a body lift...def worth some thought. Powered by Detroit Diesel

    Is it safe to body lift a 6.5 powered truck?

    So the general feeling im getting between what im reading here and reading on the diesel place its one of those things that will take a lot of extra time and money for very little gain and that it would be easier and cheaper to just go with a suspension lift. That about sum it up? Powered by...

    Ok...now im totally stumped!

    Well...after a bit more trouble shooting and talking to the owner of a local Diesel shop it has been determined that my injector pump may very well be worn right out. Considering it has almost 500k on it due to being the trucks original ip that is a pretty good possibility. Plus im having...

    Is it safe to body lift a 6.5 powered truck?

    At the most I would be towing a camper, but basically if I want to tow limit my lift to suspension only? Powered by Detroit Diesel

    Is it safe to body lift a 6.5 powered truck?

    Ok this was mostly spured on by conversations on gmt400 but I am wondering if it is safe to body lift one of our 6.5td trucks? I know the engine needs to be kept below 210 degrees. Does the radiator need to be kept in stock location or will an electric fan pull enough cfm to keep the engine...

    Hydraboost conversion questions.

    Ok as i mentioned in my previous brake thread i picked up an '89 K3500 and while the braking is alright for its size i have gotten used to having the Hydraboost set up in my '94. What will i need to convert my K3500 to hydra boost? Booster lines that go between the power steering pump and...
