I wouldn't do anything but see if it runs . I can't tell you how many blocks I went thru until I found one without any cracks . Pouring money into an already known cracked block didn't make any sense to me . See if it runs and then go after leaks , damper , etc .

I had an extra drive so out came the hack saw . Pretty sure a 1/2" drill was what I used to prime it . Thinking I had all my bases covered , drill was on full speed ahead . Much to my surprise the resulting torrent of 15W-40 that covered my upper arm and the rear of the engine was a complete...

Yeah I could have worded that better . When I primed mine , I used a cutoff oil pump drive driven by a drill . First thing I noticed was the oil pumping up thru the drive and covering me and the back end of the engine . After poking around on the interwebs , I found a post by MGW ( Missy Good...

How do you intend to deal with the oil flow in the block ?

What year is the truck ?

That's a 14 bolt GM rear not a Dana . Ring and pinion are replaced as sets . Would another pinion work ? Maybe , but I would expect a lot of noise and very low life .

What's the number on the TCM ?

How to fall asleep when you are old ; sit down in a recliner . I have an old one but it is comfortable .

There's a difference in terms of no start or no cranking . If the engine does not turn over , PMD is not even into play . Electrical current/voltage travels around the circumference of the individual strands of the starter/battery cables . Corrosion is a big deal and if that is present anywhere...

Do a voltage drop test on the starter cable . Check across the pos and neg battery terminals and at the starter . Should be close to the same voltage . Then have someone try to start the truck . If it really drops , you have a bad cable .

Is this a van , truck ?

Years ago I had a 55 Chevy with a 396 and of course headers . Had a problem with heat soak . Older neighbor was happy to finish a beer and cut the top and bottoms off . Slipped the can over the solenoid and problem solved . Another thought is the older solenoids could be disassembled , remove...

Do you have a heat shield on the starter ?

Which direction are you spinning it ?

I don't think I would do that . The pump could then suck air if the pump is not below the oil . Some of the Moroso pumps had a small tab welded on the pickup which then went to one of the 4 pump bolts . Also , when using the ARP studs it is critical to use the assembly lube . Without the lube...

I had both at one time . No vacuum pump with no AC and the pump runs the trans . What about the military trucks with no AC ? Cable runs to the trans , lever takes the place of the vacuum mod or can .

One other thing , the bracket above is for the 700R4 . The other bracket Dubious mentioned in another thread is for a TH400 . The bent rod is an easy tell .

If Dubious doesn't buy it , I will .

V2500 is when Chevy went to the new body style and changed the older square body to the RV model . V 2500 is 4WD and 3/4 ton . Tires are the same on my 91 V2500 and my 86 CC dually . I have seen the dually Suburbans but I want to say the dually fenders came onto the rear door so they are not the...

Unfortunately with as many cooks in the kitchen as he has had , you don't know what has been installed . If the brakes drag , crack the bleed screw like War has mentioned . Back off on the MC bolts to give you some clearance on the pushrod . Replace the front brake hoses as they can cause a...
