the heat shield on mine is east to remove! it's an old 24oz tall boy can folded in half long ways and curved to fit LOL I only used one screw to affix it on the top of that bracket. ended up cutting off the lower section of that bracket off and left the upper part that has the screw holes.

@MrMarty51 if you can get the heat shield removed, you should be able to get at the return lines without pulling the turbo. I managed to get at them with a pair of bent needle nose pliers from the top. pull the CDR and anything else in the way to gain access from the top side. it might even...

Be sure you drop the pan and clean out any debris, fresh fluid and filter. a failed torque converter can destroy a trans in a hurry! the main issue swapping them from a gasser is the low RPM stall a diesel torque converter will have over a gasser. if the gasser is a 454 you should be find...

Just for info, I did find out that other countries like Europe are moving to using R152A phasing out 134a. there is a decent amount of info on it online and here in the US you find it in cans of office keyboard duster. Harbor Freight sells them at $6 a can (10oz) and wally world sells 134a...

Started working on the 95 today. I've been wanting to get the AC working for a while now, the black truck is getting really tired. ventured out to the pick a part yard to gather some interior parts for the wife's trailblazer and look for a decent compressor for my truck. found a compressor...

That looks a lot like a stamping tool for leather making. could be to snaps or ring punch for leather.

It's been a little while since I posted anything. It's been HOT and HUMID lately! it's time I get my brown truck driving again. been sitting for the last three or so months and haven't wanted to drive it due to the AC being out. I'm not quite ready to drop the 2 bills yet for a replacement...

Your us shift kit should be using some sort of TPS to know when to shift. SES light is on because the factory TCM/PCM is still connected. I would just pull the fuse to it since you have the aftermarket trans controller. on my truck, it uses a EZ-TCI controller. it has it's own TPS...

are you still running the factory trans and trans controller? running a DB2 IP all the TPS does is send signal to the trans controller to tell it when and how to shift. you may or may not need to fix or replace the TPS. if you are running an aftermarket trans or have a older 700R4 that is...

for a tach there should be a sensor atop of the engine behind the intake in the valley where on a gasser a distributor would go. that cam sensor provides an RPM signal to the PCM for the trans to shift. that is if you still have the factory trans. if you get a schematic for your truck it...

I apologize not being online much lately. It's funny how life keeps you busy :)

Hey guys, I'm still alive and kickin! Our town wasn't too bad. water got up and flooded our yard and street but didn't make it into the house. garage got about 2ish inches inside. Here's a few photos of our yard that morning and some my daughter sent us off facebook of our street...

Hey guys, I've been off for a little bit, but still around. just filled up the black truck with fuel this afternoon. Been driving it just about every day even with the worn out engine. funny thing is that my oil consumption has slowed to a crawl now. I really haven't opened the hood in...

Here is the factory style kit off the jungle site. you won't need the gaskets but the hose and plugs are all pre-cut to length. https://www.amazon.com/Delphi-7135-274-Fuel-Injector-Installation/dp/B002M1D4PI

WOW! I haven't been on here in a few days and look at all the excitement I missed!! in a pinch, go to home depot and get the small orangish color clear tubing I forget what size it is but it's in the plumbing section. it will push on without clamps and work for a while. iirc that much flow...

Looks like it's nothing but zddp and moly mixed together. I would send a virgin sample to an oil analysis lab to see what's in it!

Safe travels

From the looks of the compression fittings on the end of the rubber hoses, I would assume the rubber has been replaced at one time or they were just cut on the one end to pull the engine out for work. I don't trust compression fittings. a few years ago I had a hydraulic hose made with...

which side of the frame is it leaking? driver or passenger. what I noticed in your other photos was that the oil cooler lines have what looks like a compression crimped to the hoses and compression on the aluminum lines. on the other end (frame) looks like the original crimps can't tell if...

on the pics you posted I could not tell where you ground out on the pump to match the ports of the backing plate. can you post were you ground into? on that one that you said wasn't cooling well it kinda looks like the impeller is slightly out on the shaft where the others look like the shaft...
