My 1994 K2500 pickup motor, with electronic IP, has massive blow-by, uses/loses oil, and what sounds like a collapsed lifter. I'm on a very limited income and can't afford to rebuild, or replace with something like an Optimizer, or even a military take-out. I finally found a used 1990 6.2 NA out...

I've been searching for dimensions of the Mercedes 2.4 N/A diesel motor, unsuccessfully. I don't have a motor readily available for measuring. This motor has a very strangely shaped oil pan, nothing like american cars. From pics the pan appears to be two piece. The upper portion seems to be an...

On a Toyota forum I've been passing information along to a guy who is swapping a 1994 F vin 6.5 TD into his FJ60 Landcruiser wagon. He is currently looking at different ideas for cooling the 6.5. One of his ideas is to use the 6.5 radiator in the FJ60 core support. But, this would be without...

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this as this is dealing with ABS brakes, but since it is not a diesel I guess this will do. If it is OK to be in the brake section then maybe a mod could move it there. My wife's car, a 2005 Buick Century, has four wheel ABS. It has been...

To start with this is a 94 K2500 with the 6.5 TD. I don't think the motor part of the job will be much, if any, different between the years, except between the mechanical injection and electronic injection pumps. I know the only real difference there is the mechanical IP motors need a harmonic...

I've got a question for those that have the HD 3500 duallie. At the bottom of the grill is a tall apron between the grill and the bumper. On the pickups the bottom of the grill sets just above the bumper. The bottom of the HD 3500 grill sets several inches above the bumper. I need to know...

I'm slowly collecting parts for a 6.2 swap into my 1971 Toyota FJ40. I'm planning to use an older GM bellhousing. I recently read somewhere (can't remember where) that the diesel starter nose will be too big for the gasser bellhousing starter location. I currently have the bellhousing, but...

We were going camping Memorial weekend. On our way over Santiam Pass, late in the evening, I went to switch to high beam and got nothing but a black "curtain". Definitely disconcerting when on a mountainous, crooked highway. Fortunately I was able to switch back to low beams. I played around...

I'm in the process of swapping in a Holset HX35W turbo from an 01 Dodge Cummins. I'm also using the Peninsular upper intake. This is going into a 94 K2500 vin F pickup. The stock vacuum controls for the GMx wastegate were removed and a turbomaster installed sometime before I got the vehicle. I'm...

I don't know how many others have had this happen. But, the other day when I went to plug my GPS power cord into the aux socket, the socket pushed completely through the plastic mounting bracket. The lip that holds the socket, which is cast into the plastic housing, broke completely out. I...

I have been thinking about finding a small diesel motor to put into my dads' old 1973 Datsun pickup. I'm living on SS disability, a very limited income, and the fuel prices have really been hurting me. Dads' pickup needs a motor and in the past three years I have become very interested in diesel...

This thread is being done over six months after having completed this modification so some of the measurements have been misplaced and my memory has become slightly fuzzy for some of the details. I took pics as I was doing this mod, intending to do a write-up on it, but things got in the way and...

Ever since I got my pickup the drivers side door jamb switch for the interior lights has never worked without me wiggling the button to make the contacts work. I know they are not expensive. Rockauto has them at $2.94 for the cheap ones to $4.93 for the AC Delco ones. And of course the shipping...

I just came across some info on a different type of auxiliary fluid cooler. They can be used for: tranny, power steering, engine oil, hydraulics, etc. I've never seen anything like these before. I am wondering if anybody here has had any experience with them and knows how their efficiency...

Pertinant Stats: 94 K2500 ECLB, F vin, 233K miles, new injectors and glows (Bosch Duratherms) less than 10K miles ago, Problem #1 I have been noticing occasionally that the TC doesn't lock up. I have added manual TCC lockup. If I manually lock the TC it works right. Usually after a few...

Like the title says, I need to pull the axle shafts from an Eaton G80. I picked up a complete rear axle from an 03 Tahoe for parts. I need to remove the axles so I can pull the complete brake assembly from the housing. I took off the cover thinking all I had to do was pull the center pin to...

I am upgrading my charging system. I've already replaced all the battery cables with bigger gauge wires. I just got a CS144 alt to replace the CS 130 that is acting like it has a blown diode (charging, but not like it should). Now I want to replace the 12V+ charge wire that goes from the alt to...

The PMD died this week and I need to swap the resistor over to the new PMD. So far I've been unable to remove the resistor from the old PMD. There are two small holes, one in each end of the resistor. I've tried small crochet hooks. Also tried coarse thread cutting wood screws. I haven't been...

Just thought I would post up some pics of my battery cables. This is so those without much, or any, experience with hard starting or slow cranking can see and understand when someone reccommends that they carefully check their battery cables. Pic # 1 Shows what the battery end of the battery...
