I guess I need to rephrase that question. What’s my best option for what I have to work with

Do you guys think the engine in the 95 is healthy enough to go long distances if I find out which rod is making noise? I'm sure I could replace bearings and it would be fine. only time I hear it is at higher rpm when parked. it's not loud at all but there. not unless that is sign of...

Well I suppose that confirms the 95 having a rod with clearance issues. If it can rev in park and a light knocking can be heard.

I will try tomorrow or the next to get the block casting numbers off the 93's engine. I know the block is from a 99 so I'm hoping it's one that would have a better chance of not having cracks.

I figure if I got this 6.2 ready, it will take me a while to do, but have it ready to go in for when things get worse for the 93, but if I want to even attempt to save (if that's even possible) the 93's engine, I could do the swap before it completely dies. things I would need to find is a...

I figured I better update this thread for this engine as I finally got around to doing a compression test. using a weak starter I had and mediocre batteries with my shop charger on boost I got some numbers. is was cranking slow but I kept cranking until the gauge stopped moving. #1 = 290...

My thoughts are on the current engine, if I could get my hands on assuming three replacement pistons and a set of rings. maybe a quick hone, it might bring it back to life and survive a good while. I don't know if this engine has any cracks, but the lower end sounds healthy at higher rpms...

Even went back and scoured my posts and found when I did the compression test on the 95's engine.

Here is the compression test I had done on t he 93' current engine which has some serious blowby. #1 = 380 #2 = 250 #3 = 260 #4 = 270 #5 = 330 #6 = 350 #7 = 350 #8 = 270 remember I found a GP with a broken off tip in the #8 and just guessing from the numbers it's chewed on tips in...

Well guys, despite the recent unfortunate events with the wife's car, I can't sit still... I'm back at the bull crap LOL I drug the 6.2 engine I have on the stand back out, connected a (weak) starter and ran some make shift cables to the batteries in my 95 truck and performed a compression...

iirc there are three bolts or two bolts and one stud holding the bracket in place. the stud is on the WP, should be a bolt on the exhaust manifold or near it, and one more up top under the alternator that holds the PS bracket to the block.

I can't remember if I had to pull the PS pump off when I installed the one on the 93. it uses that sensor for the TCI TCU. I bet you can get away with pulling the two bolts, one on the water pump and the other on the exhaust so the PS will swing out slightly.

Looks like the CPS is bad or has a bad wire. lots of times oil gets on the wires and starts to break down the insulation causing issues . cheap insurance is to replace that sensor, but iirc you will have to do a TDC offset relearn once it's replaced.

Nice looking rig there, and welcome to the forum @rbenson985

You sure what you have your hand on isn't the power steering lines? the oil cooler lines should run along side the block where the pan meets the block up to the front where the harmonic balancer is then transition to rubber under the fan shroud to the oil cooler that sits in front of the...
