    A New Victim Brought To Barry's Refuge

    Wow Barry, That is one clean truck. Almost impossible to find one that clean around your area. One to keep for sure. Other than the 410's I really like it. I know you don't really like the nv4500 but I think once you get used to it you will like it. I should have went and bought it. You...

    Has anyone ever had this happen?

    I had the same over fill problem with my transfercase in my 92. I have the nv4500 transmission in it and that uses the gl-5 gear syncromesh fluid. So my transfercase was getting filled up with the gear lube. Not a big deal to change that seal. I think I just took the rear driveshaft off...

    seat covers

    I got a set from fleet farm. They were cheap in cost but they don't stay on. I bought them because the leather closest to the door is wore out and the foam is exposed. I am getting sick of pulling them back over the edge of the seat every time I get back in. I guess I will have to spend...

    JVC HD radio install & feedback for my 6.5 friends

    Nice, I just noticed your pictures and just realized that the 95 6.5 I just bought this summer has a radio in it that looks just like yours. When I was looking at this truck the owner said something about this nice jvc radio he put in. I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. I...

    4x4 head scratcher

    I wonder if you have some kind of binding in the transfercase? Simon, I wonder if one of the two solenoids in the transmission are acting up. I had one act up last winter but mine just wouldn't shift into the higher gears. It sorta sounds like it could also be electrical. But it is...

    I Got steering issues

    My old man had his 6.5 diesel just about throw him in the ditch a few times. He didn't like it either. He said he would be driving down the road at highway speeds and all of a sudden the truck would jerk big time. Almost put him in the ditch a few times. I think he said the cv joint was...

    How I got 3 MPG more

    Nice looking truck for sure. Can't beat it for the power. I am not sure though about it being easier to change the injectors than the 6.5 truck. I love the power of the Duramax. I don't drive mine in the winter. I live in the salt belt and am going to try to make it last many many...

    7F cold start this morning

    -20F here last night. My suburban doesn't have a block heater. But I do keep it in the garage and start it for 10 minutes or so before going to bed. Wife takes it to work when it gets that cold out because it gets good and warmed up by the time she gets there. Then on her lunch hour she...

    vacuum boost controler

    mabey your ECT sensor is on it's way out? That might cause your temperature gauage to read colder than what the engine temp actually is? My 92 throws alot of heat but reads cold on the temp gauage also.

    Glow Plug Controller Function

    95 6.5 pickup, 290,000 miles stock Thanks guys for your help. Schiker, I am not sure if it is the old age of the truck or the 60G's that is the problem with the white smoke at start up. I will have to do more testing I guess. Ak Diesel, Yes I unplugged the sensor at the coolant crossover...

    DB2: Air bubbles only when cold advance is on?

    Mabey not so weird that you are seeing air bubbles when the tank is full. There would still be alittle vacume one would think in the tank. So there should be negative pressure from the tank to the LP. So if you had a hole in the line between the tank and the lift pump it would suck some air...

    Glow Plug Controller Function

    I went out last evening and unplugged the cts sensor and the glow plugs lit up for about 8 seconds. I cranked the engine over and it seemed to start fine. It was dark out but the truck was backed up under the garage lights and I didn't see the white smoke. The after glows turned on twice...

    Glow Plug Controller Function

    What causes the glow plug controller to turn on and off? Is it the CTS? Or the ECM? Or what? On my 95 I have experienced white smoke at start up. It has been around 0 degrees F. I noticed that when the glow plug light goes off in the dash it doesn't come back on like my other trucks do...
