and it doesnt work. I'm getting all kinds of codes from the little LED diagnostics lights, mostly relating to connections of the main harness. I went over all the connections repeatedly, can't find anything wrong. It came off an 01 LB7, and it came with a Speed Loader. I installed it without the...

Was a regular in the 6.5 section for years, built up a lifted 97 K3500 dually with A-Team turbo, kojo tune, etc. finally sold it and been playing with an 82 K30 454 for the last few years. Wifes been prodding me to upgrade to a newer, more reliable truck for quite some time. In fact last year...

Within the last year I put in a steering lift block to compensate for the 6 inch lift. After I bought it somebody told me it was not the ideal way to correct it, and that the blocks are known for loosening up. I've checked it once or twice and found all the nuts on the new studs were still...

Craigslist ad for a 6.5 truck. Naturally I'm curious if it might be the PMD, commonly misdiagnosed as needing an IP. Call him up to find out, guy says nope, somebody pulled the injector pump, never finished putting it back, now he's stuck with the truck and wants it gone. Good news is the truck...

I have a 1982 cab & chassis crewcab 1 ton. I put a fleetside bed over the narrow rear axle for the tucked under dually look. A friend has direct bolt 8 lug steel wheels with 245/70/19.5 tires on his 87 dually. Another guy I know has some on his 95 cab & chassis, with 225/70/19.5s, and he might...

been thinking about finding a cucv donor for some time. I wanted to take the 4.56 srw axles and put them under my fleetside dually. I love the 'tucked' dually look, but the limitations on tire sizes drives me nuts. Right now I've got 235/85s and a 6 inch lift, which looks great out back but the...

Was asked what I knew, so I told him I'd look online and see what Icould find out. All I know is 85 6.2 Chevy, something wrong with the glow plugs but if you mess around with the controller it will fire, but only with the throttle to the floor. It will run and sound fine for a matter of...

bought this 94 Sub last winter, came with two small mismatched crap batteries. One Walmart 525 cca, one no name. Always started a little slow, but always started, even at 6 below not plugged in. So I knew I needed batteries but I wasn't going to spend the money until I had to. Finally I had a...

Friend of mines got a 98 k3500, just had work some done to it. Had a noise in the front so his mechanic changed a lower pulley and put a new belt on. That was yesterday, today his wife takes it and gets stranded, brand new serpentine belt broke. Towed back to the shop, new belt put...

I've got several gallons of kerosene I need to get rid of. It is red-dyed fuel bought last week, should be clean and fresh, but my kerosene heaters don't like the dye so I want to go back to using clear. Problem is all my fuel cans are full; can I dump 5 or 10 gallons into my pickup to burn it...

I'm hoping to be able to tow my camper with my new (to me) Sub 2500. The camper is 11k gvw, 8500 dry weight. My lifted dually with ATT, tune and exhaust works hard to pull it up the hills. Tows nice on level ground, but reallys struggles in the mountains. It's better than it was before mods. I...

Just had to share this here, because no one else gives a damn, but I know I can count on you all to be happy for me. Been wanting a Sub for a long time, and recently thinking about retiring my old workhorse 97 dually. Started looking for a diesel Sub and only one on CL, all of a sudden a...

Been having a tough year with the old truck, it needs so much work. I love this truck to death, but I'm wondering if it's time. I replaced the bed last year after a tree fell on it, now I wrecked that bed by backing into a tree hard while plowing. My fuel tank is held up with ratchet binders...

when I had the trans back to change the flexplate, I happened to check the transfer case fluid and found it was overfull, right to the top and had been coming out the vent also. I crackedthem apart and replaced the seal between them, which had obviously failed. I didn't know whether the fluid...

As you know, I have a 97 k3500 dually with most all the goodies. It is running strong and holding up pretty well considering it's a plowtruck. I am hoping it will last forever. I am curious though, I've always got my eyes open for a diesel Sub, and I may have found one with the typical "won't...

Whole system seems tight, but I've got a pretty good leak at the turbo clamp. Checked and it's all still tight, can't see why it's decided to leak there. Not real old, less than two years. Not rotted I don't think. I think I'm going to have to take the clamp off and pull it apart to see. That...

Maybe this belongs in smack talk, but all my blood brothers are here. I have been the victim of smack talk at work. A coworker has a 2011 F150 ccsb 4x4 Lariat, fully loaded with everything imaginable, beautiful color and chrome 20" factory wheels. So now he's saying my truck is a bone and I...

Don't know where this belongs, but I thought I'd start here and let the mods kick it where they want it. I just found this, would buy it in a second but I'm not sure if I can use it with a 4wd. It's an 86 2wd 3/4 ton with a 454, th400 and gear vendors overdrive. I think if I bought it I could...

I guess you arent supposed to be on the sidewalk either, but swerving down a busy thoroughfare behind the parked cars, and constantly weaving from side to side so I don't have much room to squeeze past you in a dually towing a big camper is annoying. So annoying in fact, that I hardly feel bad...

Have posted this stuff elsewhere, many of you are familiar but I cant find it right now so I figured I'd start a new one just for an update. Stock my truck struggled to get the camper (33', 4.5 to 5 tons est weight) up the mountains. I was cresting the top at 35 mph and imagining the pistons...
