That's good info. Are you referring to a spin-on type fan and clutch assembly? I did upgrade the water pump to the spin-on type fan.

Went ahead and trimmed the shroud by removing a small section. The lower hose has a separate conduit type sleeve on it so that will help protect the hose from the anything coming off the fan blades. It no longer rubs. I used my table saw to cut out the section.

Yeah, mounts were new at time it was all put together. I will consider the shims.

Hey guys, I Installed the D-Max fan kit when I put my new motor in about a year ago. I heavily trimmed the shroud at that time and I had no issues. Now that some time has gone by, I noticed that the fan is contacting the bottom shroud where the hump is to go over the bottom radiator hose. I'm...

Thanks for the feedback, I'm excited to upgrade.

Since we're on the subject of starters; what are your opinions on starter upgrades say from Powermaster? I still have my original starter and I'm considering an upgrade to go with my new GEP motor.

This is the best I could do. Same side as the starter but a little bit forward of it. The motor is sitting on a wooden crate that my new GEP came on so I couldn't get to the exact location of the starter. I imagine the spacing is uniform. If someone has a oil pan gasket that might be better...

Are your glow plugs working? I once swapped computers in a truck between an "F" vin truck and "S" vin truck to see what would happen. The glow plugs would not activate with the foreign computer...just thinking you should confirm activation of the glow plugs.

Oh, and mine is a 6 lug.

You are correct, I just ordered kit for the k1500 (which is what mine is) and slightly modified the brackets for the larger axle tubes.

Check your ground wires. Sounds like the computer is losing ground intermittently.

They don't. I have a 91/2" semi-float rear end.

Yes, EGR, MAF & CAT.

Stainless Steel Brake Corporation (SSBC) rear disc brake conversion. To ak, yeah it's kinda of anemic in stock form, I have all the parts to make it into a "F" VIN setup just haven't got to it yet.

You ought to see the topside! Fresh GEP engine. Truck has 93k, original engine got a crack in the #8 cylinder.

I have a 1998 K1500 (6.5 diesel), hope this helps.

I'm not sure, I sure someone here will be able to answer that for you. I responded to ask you to post a picture here once you have it completed, good luck!

I would consider to just run it. Given the location, I don't foresee any catastrophic failure potential. Besides, how long have you been running it anyway? Meanwhile, keep an eye out for a replacement.

A gear oil saturated brake pad can become sticky and bind up the brakes from releasing.
