Might have to change backing plates and emergency brake cables for the emergency brakes. The park brake cables could be different in lengths and styles.

I tried one of those after market variable valve elimination kits that many sites sells. Dont waste Your time nor money, they dont fit. They are smaller fittings than what Our systems require. I think they are made for gassers with vacuum boost and not for the hydro boost systems what must have...

That Yours Jay ?

Probably have to install a battery pack and an invertor so the block heater could function in tue dark. For me it was always that morning start before the commute to work during the chill of the eastern Montana winters that the block heater was required.

On the 1993 gmc I had, in the fuse panel, it showed two fuses, one was ECM 1 and the other ECM 2. IIRC the 2 was for the in tank fuel pump, being it was a 5.7, 350 gas engine.

I do believe that there is some sort of a signal from the alternator on a single alternator system that triggers the tachometer into thinking its reading actual engine RPMs. The pulleys from the 6.5 alternator has to be exchanged with a store bought alternator or else the tach will read faster...

I’ll try to remember to watch the tach when I start my truck in the morning. I do know that it shows the cranking speed of the engine when the ALDL connector is installed and active to the AUTEL app on my phone.

Thats the stuff. T-6 in 5-W40.

With an alternator setup like that You could convert that truck to a back to the future unit. 🫣😹😹😹

I had a heavy duty 22 foot bumper pull trailer, tandem axle, IDR what the weight specs was but 14,000# sticks in my head. That trailer had two removable crank down trailer jacks at the back end. One time I was unloading an international Harvester model M tractor, driving it down the ramps, next...

Yeah, my sone kept all of the smog stuff offa his Dodge. He leaves it setting on the concrete slab in front of his garage bay doors. No one home all day, no security system, anyone could drive off with that. I know nothing about that smog equipment or how valuable those catalytic convertors are...

Thats just what he posted towards the beginning of the thread.
