No friggin Oil Pressure. I shut it right off. Checked the oil. It was full. I tried again. No il pressure. Truck was...

    6.5 TD NV4500 owners chime in..Starter question.

    Is the starter for an NV4500 6.5TD different from a 6.5TD auto ? I get conflicting reports. I am having an issue over this. NAPA shows yes, Advance shows no. I would be referring to a 93 K3500.

    NV4500 Swap to a CUCV..Starter problems....Everything else good.

    Well thanks to a friend in NY I have a nice NV4500 setup from a 93 with everything to put in my 86 K30/M1008. I hope it compliments the 4.56s gears and 35 inch tires. I will try to document as much of the swap as possible. After this then I am going to swap out the v belt system for Serp and...

    Would you buy an OBD2 version of GMTDScan and what would you pay ??

    I was emailing back and forth with Steph from engh Motors. For those unfamiliar he makes the best , most user friendly software specifically written for the 6.5 TD I have ever seen. I don't think I know anyone who has it and does not like it. He said he never followed through with an OBD2...

    Series Parallel switch, need help

    Trying to figure out how this thing works. I know they used them on old Macks. Basically using this in a 2 battery system the second battery must be isolated correct ? In other word if I were to use this to power a 24v starter on a 12v truck would that affect the charging system ? Would I have...

    Electronic Variable Orfice power steering

    I apparently have this on my Burb. I'll ask that a mod move GM Guys explanation of it to this thread from my motor mount thread so we can discuss it more. My old 2000 had a recall on the power steering Pump. I notice the PS pump on my burb has been replaced as well and looks like the dealer...

    Seat belt problem is it safe ?

    My 98 Burb came missing the drivers side 2nd row seat and belt. I found a seat at the junky but could not find a seatbelt. GM discontinued it and LMC doesn't list it. I found one from a 94 which bolted up but looked a little different. My issue is the pass side one which is factory if you pull...

    Chinese made knockoff Waterpump vs GM one ??

    Was getting ready to upgrade the WP on my 93 with a 99+ Hub style . Just so happened I had the old factory Wp off my 2000. Side by side look at the difference where the impeller meets the housing. It is substantially different. WTF ? Should I use it ? I'm not sure if that would make the China...

    What's the difference if any from 93 OBD1 4l80 to a 98 OBD2 4L80 ?

    Junky has a 93 6.5 with tranny and tcm and db2 and wiring. Man that sure seems like enough parts to convert my burb to a DB2...Would it work with my tranny ? Even has the cruise control box....

    How thick is your Aluminum Radiator ?

    Just want some data. My burb is the first 6.5TD that had a 2 1/8 thick 2 row core. it is the same thickness as a Copper 4 core. My 93 and all my others only had a 1 1/4 thick 2 row. This is for aluminum rads only. Sorry Canadians and others, I'm not sure what that works out to in Metric.

    HVAC vent door problem

    Can't figure out what's going on. The thing works ok when you first get in it but then I lose the abilty to change from floor to vent and I hear the trap door for recirc opening and closing byitself and no real strong air coming from any one place. I thought it was the control head so I replaced...

    Wiper Pulse board

    Lost everything but high on my 93. got a new pulse board from Advance (Help!)brand. Was working for a few days and blew the big diode apart again. Defective new board or is something wrong with the motor ? I'm sure the board is made in China crap but two in a row blowing the big diode apart ??

    What hydraulic oil goes in a Ford 1600 ?

    I don't have the book but the pump appears to be standalone specifically for the 3pt and the little piston on the front. I am thinking plain old hydraulic oil ??

    External oil cooler vs internal rad one....

    Just thinking out loud but those of us who have owned older Square Body 6.2's and then moved up to 6.5's know that in the older trucks the oil cooler was integral with the rad. My 93 has a 2 core rad in it and I want to put something better in it. As some of you have heard me speculate before, I...

    Need a new air ratchet

    Always used Ingersoll Rand. I have a 170g but the head is skipping. the rebuild kit is 56$ and the ratchet costs 64$ new so it's not worth fixing it but I was thinking of going to a btter IR model like the 109xpa. It's basically the same as Snap on at a 1/3 of the cost. Snap on air tools are...

    which heads are better ? 6.2 or 6.5 ?

    Well, as my 93 is coming under control, it's time to start planning my CUCV's upgrades. I have a complete 6.5 Turbo setup(GM4). It needs HG's anyway so now is a good time to do Arps and new gaskets as I doubt the Printoseal crap will hold up anyway. I got a DB2-4911 3129. I have one fairly new...
