    Shock Suggestions

    Need to get both front and rear shocks for the '93 1 ton dump project. What was on the rig appears to be original. Don't need anything fancy, just something to work as designed for the truck's use. All suggestions welcome

    Doing inner and outer tie rods on my 1 ton dump project today. Genuine TTX inner and outer tie rods from NAPA.

    Came across this on the Fakebook, located in NC. For those who don't use Fakebook it's (according to the seller) a Navistar 6.5 short block with a forged crank, balanced rotating assembly and splayed mains. Apparently purchased by the seller at an auction from a defense contractor Asking price...

    Best paint for inside steel wheel/ rims?

    I have the same issue on several steel rims- one my front tractor tire, the other steel rims for the pickup. The inside of the rim is rusted enough that the bead won't seat fully so I have perpetual slow leaks. The tractor tire in particular bugs me as it's only 13 years old and is mostly kept...

    Banks 6.2 Sidewinder Manifold Upgrade

    After sitting on my shelf for 2 years, I finally got around to making this upgrade happen. Sadly the Sidewinder manifold is discontinued and no longer available from Banks, but hopefully this helps the few who already have one or are lucky enough to score a used one. There are several others...

    Quesiton/ Opinions: LB7 Rad & CAC in GMT400 Core Support

    For an upcoming build, I'm hoping to incorporate a CAC (intercooer) by using the DMax first generation rad & cac in tandem in the K3500's core support. I've read on other forums about this mod being done before, so I'm hoping someone with firsthand experience can chime in with any helpful...

    GMT800 front brake question, 3500 SRW vs DRW

    I'm wondering if anyone knows for certain if there are any differences in the front brakes (caliper, hub, rotor, pads) between a GMT800 2500/3500 SRW and a 3500 dually/ cab & chassis I'm gathering parts for the GMT800 brake conversion for a GMT400 1 ton dump, and want the best braking...

    Peninsular Engines

    Not sure how much one could recoup by selling the boat specific hardware, and the IPs would need adjustment for truck use, but may be a good deal for an engine...

    P400 In The '95 K2500

    This thread is several years past due, so I hope to get it caught up to speed quicker than the build took in real time. I was going through a divorce and career change around the same time, which put posting everything here on the back burner. In some ways it feels that the build is still...

    Air lock?

    It's way too late for posting on the east coast, but I had to tow the truck home with the tractor and could use some guidance. I spent the past week/ 2 weekends swapping transmissions and fuel tanks on my truck. Finished tonight just after midnight. Only brought a 5 gallon can of diesel to...

    Hard Shifting NV4500, less than 2 years on clutch

    I'm pulling the tranny this weekend to swap in a new one, but wanted to post here in case I'm missing anything before tearing into it and can't get parts after hours. Last April I did a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, fork, fork pivot, and slave cylinder. Clutch was NAPA brand...

    Transfer Case Shot, or Just Bad Actuator?

    Howdy gang, So out of nowhere, at a very inconvenient time, my 4WD decided to stop working. Short history: T- case is original as far as I know. Drained and filled with new fluid last April. 4WD worked last Friday. Topped off gear oil in front diff as I had a long day of hauling ahead of me...

    1995 K2500 Lower Control Arm Replacement Part Available?

    I want to replace the passenger side lower control arm on my truck. The area where the ball joint gets pressed in is so worn that ball joints don't stay in anymore. Shops have been welding them in for me, but too often than not the idiot doing the job doesn't take the grease fitting orientation...

    Play in steering after rebuild and adjustment

    Howdy gang, As the thread implies, I've got some sloppy steering and could use some guidance. Long story short, my Saginaw 800 box was leaking from the pitman shaft. I pulled the box, and when trying to remove the seals trashed the pitman shaft bearing. Since I could only find the bearing in a...

    Dash lights out, no power at fuse 14

    Turned on my lights today and the illumination lights for the cluster aren't on. All dummy lights on the cluster work, high and low beams work fine. I had this happen once before, and noticed a bad connection at the headlight switch. Jiggling the connection fixed it temporarily and I forgot...

    ABS light on, No ABS codes?

    As the title states, My ABS light is on, but when using GMTDScan Tech, the only DTCs I get are 46 and 88 I know DTC 88 is related to TDCO, that's another story for another thread. Thought a local mechanic with the correct scanner set the timing, but according to Scan Tech actual and desired...
