    Injectors

    What injectors are the ones I want. The last set I got from Leroy were GM because he was out of bosch. I am seeing those 2 but I have also noticed that DTech / Dipacto is selling rebuilt ones. Which is better?

    Mechanical Pump 95 Run Issues

    Posting this for a friend. He is working a 95 non-military, non-turbo Hummer with a mechanical IP. The issue is the truck will start and drive for about 10 minutes then it dies. Once it cools off it starts right back up and can drive for about 10 minutes again. It has new fuel filter, IP, fuel...

    Stalling / Smoke

    While my son was driving the 98 burb yesterday it started stumbling, smoking, and stalling. He had 2 pmd's that he swapped out and it continued. Also as he was driving the coolant temp climbed to 220-230 range driving through town. It was about 110 degrees. I bought a new PMD today and it works...

    Worn out turbo

    On the 98 burb the turbo is about done. With 300k on the original engine I'm not keen on putting a performance turbo on it. My local parts stores have them for about $700. Not sure if there is a rebuild kit available. I have seen gm8's on ebay from $250 - 1000+. I thinking even though they say...

    Transfer case

    I need to replace the transfer case on my suburban. It is stuck in neutral. My son took it to Aamco and they said it was shot. It has 300k on it so it's probably due. What Transfer case do I get. I have a push button system on the burb.

    Cooling Mod

    I may be late to the game and this has been posted here or it is from someone here in the forum. My son found this and wants to do it. I told him that it would be much easier to do before we install the engine. What do you guys think, yes/no?

    Rebuild about done

    After 5 years of finding time and my son doing most of the work to get us over the hump we're almost done. Just a few little odds and ends and finding little parts that have walked away, we are about a week away from reinstalling the beast (95 k3500 sierra dually). A couple of questions. When we...

    Lifters

    Getting my build done slowly but surely. I'm at the point of installing the lifters. The book says to soak them in diesel or kerosene and use the rod to plunger the lifter to prime it. They have been soaking in diesel for about 24 hours and they barely move. How have you guy's done them?

    Driver Side Power Window

    The driver side power window on the suburban died in the down position. My son said intermittently it has been stopping just shy of the top but not the bottom. When it was working I didn't hear it bogging down. It worked properly. Wondering if it could be the switch and not the motor. As I'm...

    Tow / Trailer hitch wiring

    Anyone know a part number or brand that makes a plug and play tow wiring harness (so I don't have to splice wires) for my 98 suburban?

    Fuel Leak

    I have another fuel leak. I replaced the pick up line to the FFM about 6 months or so ago. I figured this time it is the return that is leaking. So I replaced the return line. Guess What it is still leaking in the same place, coming down the passenger side leaking onto the crossover pipe. The IP...

    Leaky hydroboost

    The hydroboost is leaking on my burb. I replaced it in 2016 with a cardone from rock auto 1 year warranty. It has lasted 5 years. I replaced the power steering pump about 6 months ago so the weakest link finally gave out. My question is do I get another one from rock auto for about $215 (core...

    Engine assembly

    My son and I have finally started the engine assembly for my 95 sierra. I have the military humv 6.5 repair manual. We went through the steps of the initial install off the crank and the mains. The funny thing is the instructions don't give an order as to which order to torque in just do the...

    DTC's

    I have a couple codes on my suburban. P0126 Insufficient coolant temp and P0236 Turbo Boost sensor A circuit range. The coolant temps sensor is plugged in so it may be bad (Front of engine on driver side below head and A/C), however there is a plug that shares the same wiring harness as the...

    Power Steering Pump Removal

    The last time I had to replace my PS pump was on my 99 burb and 95 sierra were 10 & 5 years ago. Both were different. Although I can't remember all the steps on the 99 I thought it would be the same but I don't remember it being so difficult. There are 3 bolts on the front underneath the pulley...

    Torsion issue

    I had to replace my lower control arm bushings and ball joint. This is the 3rd time I've done it one 3 different 6.5's with no issues other than being a PITA. This time the bar fell out of the torsion adjustor whereas all other times it stayed in. Now it is out of alignment. I'm assuming all I...

    Oil Valve

    There is a little check valve that goes inside the block where the oil filter goes. Anyone know what it is. I found an oil filter bypass valve on Rockauto. Not sure if this is it.

    Lifters, Cam, and rockers

    I noticed I have 2 bad lifters, So I am going to replace them all. What manufacturers do I need to avoid? I was going to send my cam to get ground down but I noticed leroy has clevite ones for $200 when the cost to grind is about $150. Thats a no brainer. My rockers are a little worn so need to...

    Gasket alignment

    I have been doing some porting on my new optimizer heads to line up the ports with the gaskets. Got the intake side done and just starting on the exhaust side and there are some lips on the head that weren't ground down enough and it wont allow the gasket to sit properly. I was thinking of...
