    New from WNC

    We were already talking pm, I mentioned the engine killing risk of the manual LP & gave EP158 or FASS recommendation. The 24v starter is great. All the way until you have to replace it. In the military- a report I read said #1 injury of wheeled mechanics was the 165# tires on hmmwvs. The...

    TPS question on TH400 to 6L80 transmission swap with a 6.2 diesel?

    Here is that thread. The guy “Ant” does not like me- pretty much hates me. So I suggest not mentioning me or he might not be helpful to you. I’m good at making people mad I suppose. https://hummernetworkforums.com/threads/the-long-awaited-6-speed-review.250198/

    TPS question on TH400 to 6L80 transmission swap with a 6.2 diesel?

    You should be good on those parts. Be 100% clear and note every fine detail with him. That is who the other guy dealt with and was supposed to be his test bed. I will find a link for you to read. You might sign up to the other forum I post the link to and send a PM to the guy explaining...

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

    It is almost always a clutch that causes them to wear- Unless something drastically went wrong- sbc, bbc, 6.2/6.5 etc engines that are ridiculously high mileage - when it comes apart for a rebuild and it is an automatic trans, the thrust bearings are still well within tolerance. On manual trans...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Ok, I see now. Huge difference in flow from one brand to the next. My world is the DB2- so just a street T with the side tap in 1/8” is easy. The best fittings I have seen for the ds4 tapping the fuel gauge is found doing search on places like Summit racing- I couldn’t get link to copy right...

    TPS question on TH400 to 6L80 transmission swap with a 6.2 diesel?

    https://real4wd.com/product/sensor-engine-speed/ Thats the 2 wire sensor that uses the ds4 crankshaft reluctor wheel with the newer timing cover where the crankshaft position sensor is normally on the ds4 engines

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    The T fitting for the fuel pressure gauge- you don’t want any rubber line after that T. That becomes a frequent failure point and you THINK everything is ok, however a restriction in the line occurs there. There was a “tool” at the dealership that was part of a fuel pressure test kit that...

    TPS question on TH400 to 6L80 transmission swap with a 6.2 diesel?

    As mentioned above- some db2 have tps and some don’t. Idk of a tps that mounts separately to one that wasn’t designed to have it. You might end up needing to swap to a civilian db2 to get it. On the engine rpm- there is a couple of options. 6.5 that have the ds4 ip (injection pump) use a...

    My son's 1968 Chevy

    Sounds good man. Yes- the head cracking prone 230 & much improved 250 came stock with the manual, powerglide 2 speed or the TH400 is same as far as bellhousing and such. Torque converter- idk about that. It will bolt up, but idk if the stall speed is the appropriate one to use. Make sure...

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

    When you push in the clutch- that force against the clutch fingers is forcing against the crankshaft. Imagine the transmission, clutch and flywheel all attached but no engine. The flywheel is just going to move forward from the force and the clutch won’t release. All that forward force...
