Here are some pictures. My ac delete pulley appears to be a modified vacuum pump. I was going to just put the spare vacuum pump I have in its place, but it is a smooth pulley instead of ribbed. I do have an ac setup, but unsure how the brackets go (and which brackets to use). Any pictures of...

205 measured on old stock gauges. It acts pretty normal, so I have often wondered if gauges are just off. I have a ton to do with the build. Life is just so busy and she has been running well. She has not been a time or funding priority. I have a few ac compressors in the shop. When I get...

No plans to swap out water pump or fan clutch anytime soon. I don't believe they are the root of the problem. I really do love where I live. I could not imagine living anywhere besides Northern California. I do wish it were the State of Jefferson and keep my fingers crossed that it happens...

Hmm, pics showing on my end. I will try again. I know i got the water pump, used, early on in the build. When I got the fan, I thought I got the suggested clutch. I do have heat issues, it basically runs hot all of the time, like 205.

My wife took my Suburban to work this morning and while she was heading down the drive, there was a loud noise and she lost power steering and brakes. Upon inspection, the AC delete pulley came apart. A little background on my setup for those who don't remember me, it has been a while. The sub...

Not sure what facet pump it is. I pulled it off a 6.2l blazer that I purchased and froze the block the 1st night I had it.

I could not stand those running boards. The fire got stopped a little less than 2 miles from my house.

Running the correct Castro syncromesh synthetic. I am not running any cooling on it now. I would like to run the smaller cooling heat exchangers on the pto ports in the future. I am curious and hopefully that this trans is in good shape. I bought it used, told it was good but only paid core...

I went with the early version with the low 1st. Thanks. I can't take any credit except for being in the right place with the right $.

I will get some outside idle video once she gets back on the road.

Hopefully I get it done this week. I have a thread (linked) above at dieselplace.com for the swap.

No gear vendor needed, she is in the process of getting a nv4500! [emoji106]

No mpg numbers yet. My speedo was quite off due to tire size. I hopefully got tg4 correct speedo gear in there now. I will check when it gets going. I am sure they won't be great, as it is difficult to not mash the pedal to the floor. [emoji41]

Here are a few videos after I got her running and before the th400 totally gave up the ghost:

Future plans are many and money is short. Plan on making this my "forever" truck. Need to learn to weld (coming soon)!!!Here are the big ones Engine: -bigger & better turbo -high pop 6.5 injectors -ata intercooler -new radiator ditching built in oil and trans coolers -intake mods - AC...

It took me about 5 years to get it in running shape. Remember, i was building a house and I am a wrenching newb. The newb part is not totally true, as I have been turning wrenches since I was a teenager, I was just never very experienced. I could do oil and brakes, but had never been past an...

A few more pics:

That is how the engine was shipped to me. I added the J code intake, a freshly built 4911 IP, stock rebuilt 6.2L injectors, a Fluidampr balancer, a banks turbo kit, 4" DE exhaust, Leroy's oil cooler setup, a racor fuel filter and heater, a dmax fan, and a hd fan clutch, '93 serp belt setup...
