What would be the easiest motor I can swap out with my 2008 F150 , has a 4.2 motor with auto now. My former GMC 1500 with a 6.5 was shoe horned in, didn't have the right tranny and front end . maybe there is a better fit for the f150

Just saw a UK car show where they took a maybe ten year old UK Ford with 200000 kilometers on it. a 4 banger stick, they dyno'd it and it was 20% off th original HP, there were no obvious engine problems. first they changed the plugs and airfilter, which gave a few horsepower back, then the...

4L60E reverse going bad, need info on exact model to look for. I got an odd duck, It's a 95 GMC 6.5L Nat Asp with a 4l60e tranny. It was a custom order for Va DOT fleet. just a quick look on the innernets shows me that not all 4l60e 's are the same. Is there a data plate somewhere...

95 GMC, can I just pull the blower and vac out the area?

I was told if a high mileage vehicle with an automatic tranny had dark/burnt fluid but otherwise operating normally you shouldn't change the fluid but just keep it topped off. yes no maybe?

I read that the 95 GMC OEM ac compressor is not what it should be. Is there an after market one that will hold up and keep my drink cold?

It is Rudolf Diesel's birthday this day in 1858. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Diesel

It's a glow plug or three, they've never been changed, I can see all 8 from the top, nat asp, I got an over the phone quote of 500$ to change them, that seemed a tad high. 100$ for some OEM plugs, 120 labor and 100 for what ever. Is there something that I don't understand, looks...

Are the batteries wired parallel and share the loads equally?

Do 6.5 starters get weaker? The Starter is OEM. my experience with starters is their impending doom is foretold by grinding or intermittent starts because of bad brushes or that whizzing sound when the solenoid is bad. I have two new OEM batteries installed, I haven't double checked the...

Does a Nat Asp 6.5 have a higher compression ratio?

I can't find a real scientific engineering study on the effectiveness of cetane boosters such as "Diesel Kleen" "Sea Foam" and others. I can find the product web sights and forum anecdotal accounts but no private lab results.

ABS light is intermittent but there is no problem with braking, just to may sure the brakes don't go flakey on me I pulled the ABS fuse. Of course the light stays on but unless I'm on slick stuff I should be ok, maybe. I heard about a ground for the ABS light that might need cleaning...

1995 GMC 6.5 NA 2WD 165k My ABS warning light is intermittent and the braking is ok, slight pull to the left which I'm going to address this weekend. I'm guessing a bad sensor, assuming its not physically broken or wiring damage, how to you find the bad sensor?

what is the best way to fix these holes. I want to use some sort of epoxy and slap some sheet metal over it

Well it finally happened, I went to restart the 1500 after letting it sit for a half hour and got a no start/stumble . Luckily there was a water source near by. I slow poured a gallon of water on the IP and it fired right up and I was down the road. question is how long can I continue...
