The fuel gauge in my 84 k30 diesel just started reading a full tank as a bit above 1/4 full on the gauge. Seems to work otherwise. Gauge harness seems to be plugged in fine. Is this a sending unit or gauge issue?

My 84 started leaking real bad a few days back from what appears to be the rear main seal. It probably still has the original rope seal so this isn't too surprising. i will probably change it out this week, but i am wondering about my CDR. the engine only has about 120k miles, doesn't seem to...

So ive been without a chev for a while but i just picked up an 87 blazer. More or less a rolling shell with a tbi 350 and no trans/t-case. My dad also gave me a 96 2500 6.5l. First thought was to change it to all mechanical but i would like to use the 4l80e (i know i need a passenger drop...

hi, i haven't been on here in a while as i sold my 6.2s :mad2: but i was hoping someone could help me out with a few photos. I'm building some rc trucks. GMs of course, and well i want them to have the 6.2 diesel badges. i know i guy who can make them but he needs photos and dimensions. i...

So my dad is looking to get some more power out of his 95 cummins. its an auto (recently rebuilt). he uses it for his farm truck and pulling equipment and vehicles from time to time. Im looking for bolt on mods and do it yourself-er stuff. nothing that involves pulling or tearing down the...

So i just about an hour ago i went out to get a late lunch at the truck wouldnt start. cranked over just fine, wait to start light came on for the normal time ( i could hear the relay click as well), white smoke out the tail pipe. i have fuel, and there was no air restriction. It started up...

So, i just redid the heads and cam in the truck, as well as a blown head gasket and i've been losing coolant. I found a couple leaks at the heater hose quick disconnect and the t for the rear heat. Fixed those, although i'm not too confident with the fitting. But that's another issue. I...

Started up my truck after work and had some odd problems. all seem they could be related to dash electronics. the airbag light is on. the front blower wont turn on. the wipers wont turn on. front diff wont engage. the gear indicator light isnt on. abs light is off (odd because fuse is pulled)...

So, i've looked online but cant find my answer, perhaps i dont know what im looking for. Anyways, i noticed recently that the actuator on the front diff has nothing hooked up to it. there are matching electrical connectors at the frame, but no wiring in between. as far as i know there never...

Just put in a new gauge set (factory ones were screwy) and now the engine light is on all the time. I'm pretty sure this thing is just an idiot light connected to the stock gauges isn't it? Can i just pull the bulb? or does this light actually have another function that is actually important?

So my dad has a 88 V3500 that got in accident a while back. the frame was bent and not correctly fixed. he is replacing the motor and plans to swap frames. Question is what frame can he use? its a 4x4 dually crew cab. can he use any dually frame and swap over the parts? Thanks, James.

So a while back i noticed that when i take off the oil fill cap i can hear an intermittent metallic tink, tinking (awesome sound effects huh?). I'll try to describe it the best I can: the volume varies slightly and though it seems follows the engine noise(rpm), the actual timing of the noise...

having a weird problem with my trans. it drives just fine, but sometimes 1st doesn't engage. its not slipping, its like its in neutral. it only happens once, and then drives normally the rest of the trip. it always happens right after starting up, but it doesn't always do it. I'll reverse...

So i got the new motor in my truck and its running good but im having and odd problem with my dash lights. truck starts up and drives fine, but while driving the dash lights turn on and off randomly. i dont mean the back lights, i mean the check engine light, airbag light, parking brake...

just rebuilt my motor and installed it and its running rough and smoking white/gray at idle. sorry if this gets long- just want to describe the situation and bounce ideas of people. new engine info: -machined block 599 block, 40 over -new pistons, scat crank, balancer, balance pulley. all...

so i was at the dump today and was talking to a guy with a 94 6.5 f code. 320.000 km on it. said he was having black smoke problems. his mechanic wanted to replace the turbo charger and injectors. the guy said like 2 grand CAD for the turbocharger- cant remember what he said about the injectors...

Basically what the title says. spent weeks trying to get the Mahle 18:1 marine pistons (027060HAWR-040) ordered. finally got things sorted out and then they find out from Mahle they have been discontinued. So i have opted to go standard pistons topped 10 thou (02701HAWR-040) for use with a...

Is there any difference between the s and f code precups? the heads off my 95 141 block are cracked. precups are fine. im getting a set of s code heads off a 99. should/can i swap the precups? thanks, james

So a while back the head gaskets blew on my truck. got the engine pulled last weekend and tore it down over this week after work. #2,3,and 4 mains were cracked on the passenger side:mad2:. #4 was so bad i expect the engine would have catastrophically failed soon if it weren't for the head...
