This is more of an informational post instead of a question. I snapped my CV joint a couple of weeks back (passenger side) and went about replacing it. Popped off the tie rod end and the sway bar end link and replacing the halfshaft itself wasn't really a big job. I ended up cutting the sway...

I am having an uncomfortable amount of white smoke even after fully warmed up. I was towing another truck today and was able to see it in the daylight against the black of the trailer. It had been starting a little hard and smoking more on startup than it should. All glows and wires have been...

I think I have narrowed down my hard starting / smoking problem. Truck will start, but starts hard and smokes (white / blue) a lot for 2 - 3 minutes. All GP's are new and I have confirmed voltage to all plugs. The truck will finally start, run for a few seconds, then die. you can restart, it...

Just FYI to file away for future information. Use locktite on your torque convert bolts when you put it together the first time. Doing in while laying in 3 inches of slush in the Wendy's parking lot is also an option, but it would have been a little bit nicer to do while it was in the garage...

6.2 to 6.5 block swap out is done, timing appears to be set and all if good. Glow plugs light comes on as normal on a cold start, stays on for probably 12-15 seconds, start truck, wait a few minutes & drive away. After the truck is completely warmed up and I am at cruising speed, the Glow...

What is this thing in the distributor hole? Does it matter what position it is in? I need to transfer from one block to another. Can I transfer the injector pump from one block to another with the lines still attached to it? It appears that it wouldn't be too hard, but it can't hurt to...

I am selling the leftover parts from a remanufactured 6.2 crate motor. Everything is in central ohio, but I would be willing to ship if required. http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/998193776.html

Has anyone here ever come across a good doc describing how to set the timing on a DB2 mechanical injector pump? I am going to be transferring mine over to the new block tomorrow and have no clue how to set the timing other than the little dots on the gears. Do you just get it running and fine...

I bought the truck 4 years ago with a broken crankshaft. The engine was a GM crate engine but past the 1 year warranty. I rebuilt the bottom end, new oil pump and of course a new balancer. Bad balancers break crankshafts, right? It has now been about 12,000 miles later and BANG. I haven't...

Hi guys, long time no chat A while back I had replaced the ends of my glow plug harnes with regular old cheap connectors and non-hi temp wire. As you can guess, it ain't workin' so well. I can get the hi temp spade connectors at autozone or SS diesel, but I can't find a source for the...
