Anybody every had this happen before- all studs on the ATT mounting flange vibrated out. Went to pickup a round bale for the horses Saturday morning and T was making an awful sound under hard throttle with only minimal boost, still went down the road (about a mile) picked up the round bale and...

Found this in May of this year for a good price, a 1979 Firebird that someone had done a partial TA clone. Originally a 301 Poncho motor it has a 69 Olds 350 and a Turbo 350 when we bought it. Floor pan, rockers, and trunk are all virtually rust free. Interior needs a little TLC. Planning to...

Looking for a new seat for T. Would prefer 95-99 GMT 400 60/40 split bench with armrest. Would also be interested in a console and buckets from 88-99 GMT 400 but again would be prefer the 95 and up seats. Also looking for passenger seat belt buckle. Grey in color on the seat and the buckle...

Well it has been awhile but work and other 6.5 drama and hoopla has kept me away from my wife's truck for too long. We have come to conclusions on what our plans are and I will be updating the project thread in a bit. The truck is an 89 s10 on a 76 K5 frame running 37" boggers. Was 350 small...

Thought you guys would appreciate this. Someone posted this on my wife's Facebook. Wow.:eek:

Well it is official- the IP is toast on T. Took her to Charlottesville as test last night- traffic there was and is awful, must have been out of my mind. After 30 minutes to go 3 miles she shuts off and will not start. So I am waving people by- the hazards do not work apparently either!, on a...

Up for sale is our 88 GMC for parts. Dash, door panels, and the grille are spoken for. $900 for the whole truck with no motor. Will sell parts: 700r4 2wd still shifts good $350 9.5 semi float 14 bolt 2wd axle 3.73s and a gov-lock $450 Doors, $70 a piece Fenders, $60 a piece Hood, $100...

Now that I have Big T down for repairs I am going to make some changes while it is apart. I am going to run the Att, 3" dp, 2.5" crossover, diamond eye exhaust, high pop injectors, s&b cold air intake, pocket ported heads, diamond cups, and full gauges. Will be looking into some kind of FTB as...

Decided to start a Big T thread to chronicle the work. Just a brief overview. Found this truck on Craigslist in Ferrum Va about 180 miles away. The PO was reluctant to sell because it ran so good but did want to pay somebody to do head gaskets and was a little overwhelmed by thought of doing...

Looking at the s&b air intake for the new 93 6.5 turbo diesel. Anyone tried this intake with the ATT? Does it fit? The AFE unit I had did not- the preformed tube hit the battery.

Been looking for a reg cab 4x4 5spd for awhile. Found a couple but they were either too far away or at the time the money was an issue. Initially the search was for a 94-95 truck. After Larry and Gertie's electrical/ tuning gremlins I have been looking for a 92-93 rig. Located one a couple of...

I am 100% clueless on the HVAC set up on these trucks. The truck in question is Gertie, a 1995 GMC with factory air. The AC does not work. However even on the vent setting on cool mornings (in the upper 50's) she will blow hot air. Have been in other 95s with non working AC and the air from the...

Not sure where to post this so I stuck it here. Picked up a new to us 1993 6.2 Vin C 1500 4L60E 4x4 a couple of weeks ago. It was a US Goverment Military Rig. Best we can tell it was used on the flight deck for the Navy down in the Norfolk area. PO bought in 2008 with only 61,201 on the...

So the latest in the Little D saga (I swear somebody must have died in the thing!, cursed I tell you) on Monday I was driving in town and the ses light pops and it starts running terrible. No power, trans does not want to shift and when it does it shifts hard. No boost, no smoke though, rough...

Larry started making a new noise about a month or so ago. It only happens when to the outside air temps are above 50. It sounds like the normal combustion/ diesel rattle sound just alot louder. It also seems to occur mostly when the truck sits in traffic and I go to accelerate. It will usually...

This is for you Tanman!:D Just to to recap just bought a 1995 C2500 Vin s 6.5 turbo truck. She is a 6 lug sf 14bolt RC pretty much all stock. I figured I would post a few pics and as I fix/ upgrade the ol girl I will chronicle it all here in the Larry thread. To start things off I will...

This will probably get moved but here goes. Looking at buying a 7200gvw 6 lug 2500 2 wd 1995 reg cab truck. 139k on the odo. Nice clean 1 owner truck. Only issue is the 4l80e sometimes when you start it will not shift. If you shut the truck off and restart it will shift fine. Does not drop out...

Got Gertie up and running. First drive noticed a slight knock at low rpm on the first drive. It was only a mile or so so I figured it was cold. So I was not too worried since otherwise it ran fine. After a couple more test drives it is smoking, mostly white and if I am on it dark grey. Sometimes...

Gary (see sig below) has about 133k on the odo and I am getting ready to start driving her a bit more. I am thinking it is time for glows and injectors since what is in there looks to be original. When I look up injectors for the NA 6.5 I am having a tough time finding any available for the NA...

Soooo the latest from Gertie is the motor is in. Got everything screwed in and started trying to get her to start. First hit of the key no glows but check engine light, service throttle light all work. After that glows are cycling like they should. Then after about 5 or 6 cranks I lose...
