    6.5 Blower motor

    Sorry I missed this. I had luck for many years by yanking the cover out enough to use a spade bit and put a hole in the cover centered on the shaft. After that, an occasional spritz of light lube (WD40 or such) on the end of the shaft made the squeal go away for months, perhaps even years at...

    first a fish bite then black smoke

    Mine started doing similar things and I still had a good vacuum pump. If I recall, I bypassed the solenoid and went straight from the pump to the actuator as a test. This was after replacing the solenoid with no improvement. Concluded that the issue was in the PCM. Ended up running it that way...

    I've had it with that damned oil filter!

    There have been a number of dual-bypass setups out there over the years. However, since I started following 6.5-oriented boards in '99 I have never seen a single remote setup that was "right" discovered or discussed. I found a good many years ago that the kevlar gloves with little rubber...

    Caliper rubs on the edge of the rotor - 95 K2500

    Ah yes, the elusive "heavy half..." ;)

    installing blocker plate/finger stick AND code P0403 question

    I just spent all weekend with Fingers at the ALMS/Indy Car race. In the course of conversation, we of course discussed the fingersticks. He still makes them, and his failure rate is ridiculously low. The latest version is much thinner and more robust than the earlier ones. Frankly, most...

    Something broken in driveline. Diff? U-joint?

    I didn't realize you guys had 2 piece shafts. My Tahoe and Dmax both have a single piece. So, dropping the shaft means no tail shaft in the t-case = oil loss. In a pinch for a few miles like I was in, no problem and I needed to change fluid anyway. With a two piece, I guess you could go...

    Something broken in driveline. Diff? U-joint?

    I just did it a few weeks ago. 2 miles to the parts house and back and it pretty much drained the Transfer case in the Tahoe. I call it part of my rust prevention program... ;) I wouldn't want to go far without the shaft in place.

    what is the best guage face match to GMT 400?

    No, I am pretty sure not. Sorry to get you on that line, I just took a quick look at their site; saw the same face and threw that out there. The Perfomax seem to be all electronic/stepper motor guages. The ones I have are just basic mechanical ones. Fine for a 6.5 I think...

    what is the best guage face match to GMT 400?

    Their standard gauges are available with the black bezel and orange pointer that match nicely. This is the pyro I am using (part # R607VW) It is available with a different yellow and red range for pre-turbo installs. This one is for downpipe installs: This is the boost gauge I am using...

    what is the best guage face match to GMT 400?

    I think the ISSPRO Performax line is a good match.

    Monster Diesel

    They voluntarily un registered their stock with the SEC in October and the stock is currently trading at around a half a cent per share....The stock price chart is a sled ride straight down from the high of about 25 cents last March. When did Randy and the guy that was selling it on DP get...

    Best Exhaust for a Tahoe?

    I've had Kennedy's 3.5" system in mine since late '99 or early 2000. How does it compare to 4"? I have no idea. 4" for a Tahoe wasn't considered an option back in the Diesel Page days... It is a nice improvement over stock, and I cannot believe that most of it is still intact after all of...

    Small Engine repair - fuel leak

    Glad to be of help. My life these days seems to revolve around keeping 3 old JD garden tractors, a 1989 Evinrude 140 that spent all of its life in salt water and my Tahoe running. I have gotten pretty practiced at quickly finding diagrams and manuals/parts lists....

    buying fuel tank for 95 burb

    I have gone rubber on supply and return almost up to the firewall, painful at almost $10/foot for diesel compatible hose. I never did put the skid plate back on. The older the Tahoe gets, the more pieces of it end up in boxes in the garage instead of on the truck. It truly is an an experiment...

    Small Engine repair - fuel leak

    Bud, Looks like you might need part #1 in the diagram, part number 16010-ZE2-812 on the site I found this diagram. Might be Honda part #3511383. Found it for ~$12. Still seems steep for what appears to be an o-ring, although I guess you are getting all 3 on the bowl. - Tom

    buying fuel tank for 95 burb

    I searched for a poly replacement tank for the '95 for a long time before I came to the conclusion that one doesn't exist. Ended up getting a steel one on line from tankstopans. Can't recall the price, but it was good and the unit was decent quality. Kicked myself 6 or 9 months later for...

    Looking for a thread on replacing glow plugs

    I agree. For the right side the time to drop the fender liner and down pipe for #6 is easier than trying to work around them.

    Fellow Suburbanites... how's your mpg doin'?

    With the Tahoe (a bit lighter) I got nothing when I did mine in ~'05 and I recorded every tank at the time. I'm with Aces, I get 16-18 on summer fuel, more like 13-15 on winter fuel with 3.73s. I have had high teens, very low 20s on long, cruise controlled, slowish highway runs when a tailwind...

    New HIR's Are Out!!

    Yes they do, they are OEM for the headlights on the larger tractors. Best bet to get them is with an Ag dealer. I tried my local residential dealer and they had no idea what I was talking about. I got mine from keepinitgreen.com for 9.95 and posted about it on the place. Started a run on...
