    Radiator cap

    Silly question on a Radiator cap. For what year do I order? 95 truck using 98 style bottle. Couple different ones available. With ears which is what was on the tank when I got it. Pink label also shows up for that year but I don't know what that means, nor does the dealer.

    I see them around here occasionally too. One even plays on an opposing team my girls play against.

    '95 Engine build

    I wrapped the adapter with 1" material from the same company where I got the blanket, Thermal Zero. That was a pretty big hassle to do in place but I got it done. I did end up soaking it and squeezing the water out to make it easier but that doesn't mean it was "easy". Probably just less...

    '95 Engine build

    The bracket to mount the lower part of the air box is about 1" off from the original holes in the inner fender so after welding up the part due to part of it being deteriorated, I ended up not using it. Unwelded version shown below. I'm unsure of the part number but it looks like it contains...

    With the suggestion from @ak diesel driver I was able to find a later model coolant overflow tank. It seemed this lower corner was in need of some heat shielding, so I used some of the leftovers from my firewall to cover the lower corner. It looked like something had been there from the...

    Is there any way to tell if the ignition switch is part of GM's list to make obsolete?

    TPS ? Fuel Pressure ? What You think ?

    Have you ruled out the ignition switch as WarWagon suggested? Mine was doing goofy things and I'd never have guessed it since the one I had was a new OEM part not too many years earlier.

    Flywheel fitment issue on a new Optimizer engine.

    Are you suggesting mine is not correctly put together @Will L. ? I thought the way @WarWagon described it was the way I had put mine together. I had a small gap and pulled the torque convertor toward the flywheel when I fastened it.

    Flywheel fitment issue on a new Optimizer engine.

    I bought this for my oil cooler. My cooler hoses are PTFE which is correct for the oil cooler. Ratings shown below which far exceed anything necessary. They're very flexible and easy to work with. I'm not a transmission guy but the washers idea concerns me as well. Others with more...

    I've located an overflow bottle like this picture shows. What is the correct hose diameter - see arrow?

    Wouldn't the pressure be best tested after the FFM?

    Turbo blanket

    Is the wrap on that the 2" width @WarWagon ? How was it to work with? I was considering 1" with as tight as the bend is on the adapter from the downpipe to the turbo inlet.
