    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    ok that makes sense. it was kinda hard to read and I thought I saw quadstar instead of gearstar. me being blind in one eye and can't see out of the other LOL

    Burning Main Fuses

    Next time your out near a pick n pull yard, look for most any 95-99 gmt400 it will have that rubber 90 deg hose. that is for air from the blower to go back into the motor and keep it cool. without it there will be a hole where air leaks out. can't say if the motor would over heat, but if...

    Burning Main Fuses

    Wonder if someone modified it with an aftermarket "High output" blower motor.

    1999 chevy suburban 6.5 turbo diesel

    As for the non-flow on fail pump situation. for a failsafe "get you home" kinda thing you might consider adding a couple of tee's one before and one after the LP with a hose and a shut-off valve in the middle. keep it turned off but when your out on the road and no where near a place to get...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Was this transmission done by Ammco or Quadstar? on the first photo there is a large Quadstar sticker over the top of the case. reason I ask is because if Quadstar is willing to work with you on warranty and Ammco just tore it down for inspection, that alone may have very well voided any...

    Burning Main Fuses

    Marty, those two 30 amp fuses in the rear of the box are for the two studs with all the wires attached. all of that is aftermarket additions on those studs. the blower should only draw about 25 amps at full speed. anything over that and it will burn out the resistor pack for the lower speeds...

    GMT-800 console into GMT-400?

    I had put one of those in my 95 for a time. took the bottom bracket off and removed the front section leaving just the cup holder area and the large compartment. that will sit perfectly between the front seats on the floor without needing any mounting. I never did, but I had wanted to run...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I'm curious what would have caused the pump to go out so soon. the trans in my truck (4l80e) was rebuilt back in 2018 when the PO still had it but doesn't have many miles on it. shifts hard from first to second like the line pressure is running full pressure all the time. wondering if that...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Is there any way to pull trouble codes from the aftermarket controller? maybe there is something simple like a faulty ground to the controller and it's causing the trans to do this? pull the main connector on the trans and inspect for fluid on the pins. clean and try it to see if that...

    Home Garage Lifts

    the issue with the two posts are mostly when you need to get in and out of the cab. on trucks and wider vehicles you sometimes gotta be thin or "suck it in" to get in there LOL

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Curious if the pump went kaput. no pressure = no go. keep us updated on the diagnosis

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

    Yes the relay mod has already been done by the PO. fter I bought it I had to clean up the wiring for it and mount the relay on the fender. I don't think this truck needed the relay mod though since there is already a relay and fuse next to the terminal block on the firewall, but it's now...

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

    Well on today's episode of What did you do with your GMT400 today....... driving the 93 black truck, got home this evening after work. I have been noticing the ac not cooling as well as it had been and figured it needed a little of a top off on R152a (office air in a can). grabbed my gauges...

    Once the socket is clean and working, apply some di-electric grease to the socket to keep if from corroding and rusting.
