Got a ton of parts here I'm trying to get rid of. If you guys follow my story, I bought a suburban with a broken crank and trashed block, so I have all of the extra engine parts off of it. I bought a running, driving 1995 K1500 pickup with a good engine and stuck it in the suburban. So now I...

looking for a bit of help here... I am cleaning my grounds, and found a wire I dont know what to do with. It is in the loom that goes down the passenger side head. It has an orange wire that splits into the 4 gp wires. A purple wire to starter solenoid. A black wire with white stripe which...

The basic history of my suburban is as follows: Bought it with a broken crank, knew it needed a replacement engine. Suburban had 4" exhaust, Heath chip, turbomaster. I bought a same year (1995) K1500 (stock) and pulled the complete engine (turbo/IP/etc), putting it in the suburban. Kept...

Quick question (hopefully!) I found an engine kicking around here that piqued my interest. However, it has been sitting for around a year on the oil pan and harmonic balancer. Is that bad? I'm not worried about the pan, but is it possible the HB is damaged from all of that weight? My...

I'm hoping there is an obvious solution to this problem, which doesn't involve me dropping the tank AGAIN. But probably not, haha. I recently replaced the sending unit with a spectra - I cut the threaded fittings off and hose clamped rubber lines for supply/return. After which I filled the...

This may have (probably has) been discussed in depth before, and I have searched rather exhaustively prior to posting this. However, I have some questions regarding my turbo on the suburban. This is more of an informative/inquiring post so I can better understand how the turbo/wategate...

Awhile ago I posted a thread about an unknown block (found here: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?41218-Block-Identification) I was not able to find out who sold/built this - previous owner said he bought at an auction and it was from Canada, but doesn't remember. Mike 3500...

I did quite a bit of searching about airbags, re-arching springs, spacers, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't really seen much feedback from anyone that's done them - the info is presented, but not too many people are commenting on what they liked/disliked. (Or maybe I found the wrong threads :))...

It appears my headgasket project was successful, as I've got some miles on the truck and she seems to run good and not use coolant. However, I've got a slight tick/knock at idle, which I'm suspecting is an injector. It doesn't sound like a ticking injector line, just a slight interruption...

Anyone know who made or where this block came from? I posted it over on DP, but nobody was able to track it down... Any thoughts, ideas? It has a broken crank (haven't flipped it over yet to see how bad the damage is). I can't post all of the pics, so I'll try and add them below...

I've been a member over at DP for awhile now, and have heard rumblings about how this site has more activity due to some changes made over there. No idea whether that is true or not, but I've been reading up on old posts over here for the last week or so and it looks like everyone is pretty...
