    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Attention fellas and fellets! Injector class is now in session..... 🤣 Here is the visual differences between the non-turbo 6.2L aka: tall body injectors and the turbo 6.5L aka: short body injectors. I took some pics of the two side by side along with a couple of pics of the short body...

    94 gmc 6.5 turbo deisel sputtering

    if you plan to go factory OEM style part, use the ac delco EP-158. it's the better of the ones available. I have this installed on mine, but there are modifications needed to connect the lines. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PYAW10I There are many other aftermarket and much better options...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Hoping that all, something simple! My son couldn't find the portable jump starter at the house, so I'm having him put a spare side post battery I had in the garage on the charger making sure it's hot. that way when I get off work I can grab it and some tools, do a battery swap and hopefully...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Maybe there is hope... I have an onboard GPS connected to her trailblazer which also will report operating conditions and trouble codes to me through the app. when she called me the GPS hadn't reported anything, but now I look at it and it's reporting the battery voltage critically low...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Well, I'm keeping my hopes up hoping it's a blown fuse or battery voltage is low. I can handle that, but if it's an ECM problem, Oh boy! The fun part is I don't think there are any tow point on the front end so I will have to figure out what I can hook to to pull it home if I can get it to...

    Welp!! when it rains it pours!! wifey called me while at work to say she's stranded in town with here trailblazer.... wonderful I said. Had my son go out there to see if he could help, but it's doing some weird stuff that leads me to think electric gremlins have attacked. Key on, all...

    94 gmc 6.5 turbo deisel sputtering

    I would think you have air getting into the fuel system. replace your return line on the IP which is a 1/4" hose about 6" in length located right in the front of the IP up top. replace it with some clear tubing you can get at most any hardware store. id does not need to be fuel rated, run...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    could have been, but 30 years ago they still made "real" steel LOL it's the same thing in the stores now, same size package, same label, higher price, but less food inside!

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    It's not easy to remove the rods. you have to remove the entire latch assy from the door. trust me I tried to get at them without pulling the latch LOL

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    removing an injector you need a special socket, a regular 30mm socket can possibly bend or break the return line connections. I have used a regular socket multiple times without an issue but you have to be very careful. they are torqued into the head at 50ft lbs. I will try and remember to...

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    This might also be whats going on with mine in the 93. video is disabled on it due to the parking brake wire, but grounding it didn't do anything. not that I want to be watching any video's while driving LOL

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    when I replaced the inside door handles on my 95 even after the new handles were installed I noticed that the handle was maxing out on the stop before the door would unlatch. I ended up taking the rods out from the door and tweaking slightly on two of the bends using my bench vice and hammer...

    I doubt a clubwagon would have the towing capacity of what that 2500 4x4 burb could do.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    post a pic of one of the injectors on the drivers side (easiest to get a close up of. I will look at my stash and see if I have both types one style is a long body the other is a shorter one. there should also be a number stamped on the outside of the body if you can get at it without...

    I love watching those youtube videos of folks stripping these old rigs down and rebuilding from the ground up. One day I want to do this to my 93. on top of possibly converting it to a short bed step side. it would be the only 3500 crew cab short bed step side on this side of the US that...

    iirc 2005 began the cylinder cancellation on 5.3's and 6.0's the 01-04 6.0's are a beast coupled to a 4l80 or 6l80 trans. but user be ware... all gm engines if this era have a design flaw. the oil pumps were installed behind the timing covers and driven by the crank snout. they are...

    3500hd wiring harness

    If your just using the under hood harness, you should be fine. I would de-pin the one for the ABS and put that one into the one your using so just in case you ever want the ABS to function. also without it, the light will be on in the dash too. on the 2000 one, some of the connectors that...
