Pulled a nice crack free dash from junkyard yesterday. Day before, I got my rear HVAC box all cleaned up and ready to go back in the burb with new hearer core and ac evaporator. Picked AC manifold gauges from harbor freight - on sale. Will be working on the front HVAC tonight.

I got a set of high pop injectors from quadstar and I was a little concerned with a bent return line barb as it got me wondering about the attention to detail or lack thereiff when setting up the internals. I sent them to Oregon fuel injection to have tested and they came back with flying...

I have had two different close calls, one potentially deadly when ABS system malfunctioned. One awd Toyota previa and one on my 98 suburban. Both vehicles getting up there in age. You could argue it is the owners responsibility to maintain the ABS system. I agree they work as intended if...

There is no load sensing proportioning valve on these stock. Just the one tied into the abs module. Which sucjed in the suburbans, it was so front brake heavy that gm later provided an updated one in service bulletin. Anyway, the braking on this thing right now with no proportioning valve...

And I have been considering the gmt800 brake upgrade, BUT, IF there was a chance at making a manual system work great, I think that the two smaller piston calipers might be a move in the wrong direction of optimal mc piston/to caliper piston ratio for this theoretical manual brake setup.

Ok. I hear you guys. I am learning things here. Good point about the accumulator. Seems a shorter belt bypassing the steering pump is best way to really test. I am fortunate to have a 2 mile straight stretch in front of the house in open flat rural area. It is nice for breaking new pads and...

Interesting results. first couple tries I had decent braking and pedal still felt pretty soft then faded a little at end. Third try, from 5o mph, I killed engine and gave it a 1 and half count before applying brakes, this time braking felt pretty inadequate with a soft peddle and reduced braking...

Hmmm....hadn't thought of that. I have a nice long quiet stretch of road right out my door. Will report back soon.

I have a 98 k2500 6.5 diesel suburbaan with 1 ton brake upgrade and abs delete. I am failry happy with current brakes...BUT I am always looking to modify/simplify and or upgrade things. Right now I have new stock MC and hydraulic (JD8?) brake booster. From what I read the booster provides...

Have you checked the wiring thoroughly? Most likely culprit. I would check with voltmeter for a grounded out power lead at harness connector. I think I saw in another post you ordered a rebuild kit for this transfer case. Make sure you get the upgraded oil pump or a aftermarket guard piece...

I think one of the rears runs the speedometer VSS or whatever it is and the other feeds the transfer case module. Not sure, but that is my guess. Check your wiring thoroughly. It is more likely the wiring than the sensor itself, I would think.

I just looked at my old 246 case and it looks like there are two speed sensors on the rear output shaft side of case as well as one on the front. so three speed sensors total.

It's been awhile. I can't say for certain. I think that is right though, just two.

I had th same symptons of your 246 as you are having. I would look t the speed sensors. There is probably a short, likely a cracked wiring insulation. the rear sensor wiring is somewhat close to exhaust and gets brittle over time. The transfer case computer module needs to see certain speed...

The rods are steel tubes/spacers that trans mount bolts pass through?

Give JB Conversions a call. I got a complete rebuild kit from them awhile back when I rebuilt a 241-c for swapping in place of my 246. Quality parts and great service. Cost is a little higher than comparable kits on ebay, but wmore than likely you will be talking to the owner when you call and...

I was hoping that was the answer. I am getting close to assembling my 6.5 and started thinking I needed to look into modified cams, but if you are making that kind of power on a stock, then I will quite worrying about cams. Compared to stock stamped rockers, the roller rockers due add a...

I have been reading through this post here and there over the last couple week. Inspiring and also a problem. n8in8or is enabling me in my addiction to buying 6.5 parts. Such impressive work. Did I miss it, are you running a stock Cam? Thanks for taking the time to thoroughly document your...

Well crap. A cast iron one would be nice. Maybe I will see if there is a local welder that can salvage these.

Between the three project trucks all with nv4500 I have acquired in last few years, two appear to have cracks in bellhousing. I am not sure what I am doing with either of the two rigs with the cracks as of yet. Might rebuild the crew cab and turn into runner or might oart out. Are these...
