What about split power on cruise? Thin the 430/470 Detroit diesel. 430 on the foot feed, 470 on cruise.

Got a buddy with a 17 with the manual that loves it, but probably not enough miles to know how it will do long term. He is a hyper-miling freak that can squeeze some impressive numbers out of it. From Denver back here to KS its flat and downhill, I think one run with a decent tailwind he...

I cant get over the terrible mirrors. put them in front of the window! right now it looks like someone grafted mid 90s ford half ton mirrors onto something...

OK, pulled upper intake and unplugged OS and no change. verified FSO this time, out when unplugged, sucks right in when plugged in with key on.

Hey all, I drug home another one. :) 95 K3500 CCLB DRW 6.5L 5spd 4wd. It has about 250K on it, story goes he was just driving along and it just shut off, never to start again. Owner claims to be a good mechanic and has had a few 6.5Ls over the years and claimed it has to be the IP I cracked...

Yeah, still not a fan. :) The mirror situation is just a raging dumpster fire IMO. They look added on, especially with the black filler right above it. I think GM got a bunch of rejected Ford engineers when they went broke in 08, and we are now seeing the fruits of their labor.

HD was released in 91 to my understanding. www.3500HD.com surely has someone parting something out.

Exciting news! Especially since it seems my project LB7 has had the injectors go bad just sitting. :/ Are they competitive cost wise?

Have a little faith in rock auto, their fitment is very accurate if you pay attention to RPO codes and know all your vehicle specs (aka dont order 10,11, or 12K GVWR 3500 stuff for your 15K GVWR 3500. The ONLY time I have had an issue is exhaust manifold donut gaskets, for some reason they are...

Hey all, Just drove home a 91 C3500 454 4L80E (yeah I know.... definitely not something I would normally buy) and was curious as to what kind of list of repairs I am looking at with a 4L80E that has no reverse and runs hot in forward gears. Apparently the previous owner has had issues for a...

No experience with it in a pickup, but in a 79 W900a long hood Kenworth with a 3408 V8 that I am lucky enough to get paid to drive twice a year, it has a ceramic button clutch, and there is basically no feathering the clutch. its grabby, but it holds well. I think the rear main seal weeps, or...

Looks like the 90 was a Topkick C6500... definitely a large transmission not meant for 2wd pickup use, let alone a 4wd pickup.... :) Not saying you cant make it work, but a NV4500 would go in alot easier.

As far as brands, I would have a hard time recommending Rotella. My lowest oil PSI and highest consumption rates seem to occur with rotella in the crankcase.

I run synthetic on anything that does not leak or have consumption issues. Spins way faster on cold starts, great to have if you dont run an oil pan heater.

Sounds great!

dang, that sucks! Sorry to see it happen. :(

Hey, sorry to not get back to you. That is the shroud I need. My ZIP is 67733. PM me with the quote, and I will get you my Paypal e-mail. Thanks!

@Stoney, First, where is it leaking on the cooler line, and how bad? I have been known to stretch a little life if its only leaking at the crimp. Leaking at the block is a mandatory park till fix. OEM lines for the 97+ piston squirter engines are actually more expensive than new lines from...

@Fermanator, when in GMT800 did the PCM control start? From the beginning in 2001, or later?
