    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    It's been a little while since I posted anything. It's been HOT and HUMID lately! it's time I get my brown truck driving again. been sitting for the last three or so months and haven't wanted to drive it due to the AC being out. I'm not quite ready to drop the 2 bills yet for a replacement...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Your us shift kit should be using some sort of TPS to know when to shift. SES light is on because the factory TCM/PCM is still connected. I would just pull the fuse to it since you have the aftermarket trans controller. on my truck, it uses a EZ-TCI controller. it has it's own TPS...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    are you still running the factory trans and trans controller? running a DB2 IP all the TPS does is send signal to the trans controller to tell it when and how to shift. you may or may not need to fix or replace the TPS. if you are running an aftermarket trans or have a older 700R4 that is...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    for a tach there should be a sensor atop of the engine behind the intake in the valley where on a gasser a distributor would go. that cam sensor provides an RPM signal to the PCM for the trans to shift. that is if you still have the factory trans. if you get a schematic for your truck it...

    I apologize not being online much lately. It's funny how life keeps you busy :)

    Doug around?

    Hey guys, I'm still alive and kickin! Our town wasn't too bad. water got up and flooded our yard and street but didn't make it into the house. garage got about 2ish inches inside. Here's a few photos of our yard that morning and some my daughter sent us off facebook of our street...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Hey guys, I've been off for a little bit, but still around. just filled up the black truck with fuel this afternoon. Been driving it just about every day even with the worn out engine. funny thing is that my oil consumption has slowed to a crawl now. I really haven't opened the hood in...

    Here is the factory style kit off the jungle site. you won't need the gaskets but the hose and plugs are all pre-cut to length. https://www.amazon.com/Delphi-7135-274-Fuel-Injector-Installation/dp/B002M1D4PI

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    WOW! I haven't been on here in a few days and look at all the excitement I missed!! in a pinch, go to home depot and get the small orangish color clear tubing I forget what size it is but it's in the plumbing section. it will push on without clamps and work for a while. iirc that much flow...

    Looks like it's nothing but zddp and moly mixed together. I would send a virgin sample to an oil analysis lab to see what's in it!

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    From the looks of the compression fittings on the end of the rubber hoses, I would assume the rubber has been replaced at one time or they were just cut on the one end to pull the engine out for work. I don't trust compression fittings. a few years ago I had a hydraulic hose made with...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    which side of the frame is it leaking? driver or passenger. what I noticed in your other photos was that the oil cooler lines have what looks like a compression crimped to the hoses and compression on the aluminum lines. on the other end (frame) looks like the original crimps can't tell if...

    Sucked Near A Quart of Oil, Temp went to 210.

    on the pics you posted I could not tell where you ground out on the pump to match the ports of the backing plate. can you post were you ground into? on that one that you said wasn't cooling well it kinda looks like the impeller is slightly out on the shaft where the others look like the shaft...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    I bet the real one wouldn't leak! but I do think it's all about the filter material on how well it does. during my "experimenting" I used some oil absorbent material what we call elephant tampon which is a sheet of loose fiberglass cloth. that stuff can be laid in a puddle of water with...
