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...

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...

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...

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...

Ok...since it looks like i will be hanging onto my '69 GMC C10, I need to sort out my options for brakes with this thing. It currently has the Power drum brake set up on it and i am not sure if i can make the Hydraboost booster work in place of the Vac booster. If i was going disk brakes it...

Ok I already know that i can safely use the top end from a 6.5 TD on the 6.2 but my question is can i use the flexplate from one on the same 6.2? I have a chance to get ahold of a 4L80E transmission for my project and my 6.5 with a spun bearing has the proper flex plate for it. However i plan on...

Ok I have a lead on a donor rig for my '69 project. I can get ahold of the 4l80E from the same donor truck that provided the engine for my sierra for about $200. The guy selling me the trans also has a 88-91 era Suburban 4x4 that has a TH700R4 in it and a pass side drop transfer case which...

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have opted to modify the plastic cover that goes over the intake to allow more air under it but still cover up stuff like the egr? I was considering getting my hands on on to modify a bit to allow more cooling under it but also provide mount points for my...

Ok given that the problems that im having with my truck started after taking it through the car was I am wondering if the bypass wiring on the lp wasnt damaged by the high pressure undercarrage wash. The way the wiring was done was that the original power wire from the ops was cut and taped off...

Ok I have been having a problem with my truck for awhile now and as a result have been unable to drive it for the past two weeks. The problem is it seems like it goes into a fuel starvation situation after 20-40 min of driving. The first time this problem showed up was about 4 weeks ago or so...

Ok im keeping the main details of the project this is for close to the vest for a bit till i am sure its happening. But I may wind up putting my 6.2 into something other then my '69 GMC and using my spare 6.5 Turbo Diesel in that truck instead. More then likely i will be using a fuel cell in...

Ok this may seem like a redundant question but does anyone know which fuses on the fuse panel are live only when the key is on? By that i mean they only have 12v power when the key is on. Mostly need to know this so i can install the temp/compass mirror im getting from Bluex. I know the 4wd fuse...

Ok I'm seriously considering the idea of just leaving my 6.2 N/A for now but running my 6.5 turbo heads on it, is there any negitives to this idea or should I just buck up and run arp studs with the original n/a heads and swap the turbo heads on later when I do the turbo conversion? More then...

Ok i ordered a new PMD w/relocation kit from Leroy on the 5th and it is coming with a #9 resistor in it. Now i have a #6 in my current PMD. What i was told by the previous owner of the truck was that i need to have my Resistor matched to the one in the ECM of the truck otherwise i risk burning...

Ok as I have mentioned before my Sierra has the ftb partially done to it already. I just need to change the outlet fitting on my 6.2 ffm and the inlet on my injection pump to finish that up. Now I am considering ordering the following parts from leroy to finish the fuel system: Walbro lift pump...

Ok I am seriously considering the idea of running optima red or yellow top batteries in my truck since i will be adding a winch as well as several off road lights on it soon. Now my question is can i safely run dual post batteries in my truck without making contact with the hood and shorting...

Well i have finally gotten some pics of my Sierra. I went and finalized the deal with my buddy today and will be making the first payment and picking it up on thursday hopefully. This is what is known about the truck so far. PMD Relocated into airbox Injector pump has been advanced in...

My buddy that im buying the 94 Sierra from also has a 97 Chevy C3500 HD with the 6.5 Turbo Diesel and NV4500 transmission. The engine was replaced in 05 with a brand new one. Around the same time this truck may have had a different turbo installed other then the original. He seems to recall it...

The engine in question is an early block from 1982. I seem to recall reading some where the early blocks were stronger then the newer ones. Or do i have this backwards? I got the engine for free as part of the spare parts that are coming with my '94 Sierra K1500 Ex cab SB. As far as i know the...
