    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    are you planning to make your own gasket? if you can remove the two studs from the intake, lay a piece of printer paper over the opening and run your finger pressing on the edges firmly to create impressions in the paper. then pull the paper and cut it out using a razor knife to make you a...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    if the fitting sizes are the same for both, I really don't think it matters which direction the flow is through the oil cooler. are you installing a new cooler or re-using your existing one? others will chime in soon to say the correct flow.

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    does your burb have factory bose system? if so, the only speakers that are not powered by the bose system are the front tweeters. Be thankful that you don't have Can Bus on that burb.. having can bus which started in the early to mid 2000's means there are no "power" or "ground" wires in...

    4l60 swap to a 4l80?

    I'm with you on that. the less electronics the better! Its hard to find someone that knows the old school ways now a days, especially in a machine shop. I actually prefer for gas vehicles the old points and carburetors over any electronics. some electronics are nice for creature...

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

    I had ordered the liquid line that goes between the condenser and evap for my 95 but to my surprise I goofed and ordered one that was made for dual front and rear units. it was only $16, but it's not gonna work unless I can figure out how to plug off the extra line port. it also has...

    4l60 swap to a 4l80?

    Ok this is starting to make sens now, I was thinking the truck was going to be a daily driver with "occasional" HD hauling. don't quote me on this, but iirc the 4l80 and 4l60's are electrically the same for the most part, but parts are not interchangeable between the two. connecting the...

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    If I understood the layout on the page you posted, the box your looking for is on the inside of the steel where the silver box in the pic above is on the outside. I don't think you can see or get at it with the column in place. it's buried way up in there!

    4l60 swap to a 4l80?

    is there a reason your wanting to go from a 4l60 to a 4l80? if the trans is slipping, your best bet is to have it rebuilt and while your at it have it "Built" for torque and HP's the cost of doing the swap, controller or modding the ECM, modding the drive shaft and transfer case is about the...

    Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

    has it ever in a previous ownership had any audio or alarm installed or removed? does the drivers door button or rear button actuate the rear door actuator? GM's wiring is funny. if there is a issue at ether switch that can cause it not to function. other than that, I would probe a test...

    Electronical Fuel Pressure Gauge

    I was just looking into them. they are a type of flow restriction device. some are adjustable, some are not. but they simply restrict flow so the spike is not seen on the gauge.

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

    do you have the high pressure fan switch installed in the back of the compressor (R4 compressor)? I forget if yours has that style compressor or the one similar to a sanden. iirc on our trucks, one of the high pressure switches need to be swapped out to one that is designed for a electric...

    97 hard start suddenly

    I don't think many folks think much about the acidity concentration in their batteries. I think the reason why they say to just top off with distilled water is for when the water evaporates, the acidity will increase. I have in the past brought some old batteries back to life by giving the...

    Be nice if they also had a collar with a grease zerk in the center that would fit in the middle free floating on the pin but fit snug from top to bottom. that would help keep the pin to bushings greased. I do recall someone made a bushing kit that was greaseable with a zerk at one time.

    Electronical Fuel Pressure Gauge

    Does the snubber go inline on the supply to the engine or just to the gauge sending unit? from all the pressure spikes I would think it needs one inline to the engine.

    Electronical Fuel Pressure Gauge

    is the regulator the type that controls the pump electrically or does it just bypass to flow back to the tank? if it just bypasses the flow, then you might need a snubber or bladder to eliminate the pulsing pressure. the IP is creating the pulsing when it takes in some fuel as the injectors...

    Took the trailblazer out to the coast this weekend for about a 300 mile round trip. it drove great! pushed it hard on the return trip trying to keep up with my son n law driving up to 95 mph!! only complaint was the tires need balancing since there is a shimmy at about 70 mph. other than...

    @MrMarty51 sorry we were out at the coast for a fam vacation. your system was very low on 134a. even after you added some and got it to 35 . 185 it might still be slightly low. stick you a dash vent thermometer in the vent and head down the freeway and see if it begins to warm up compared...

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

    curiosity has me wondering if a hard plastic would last longer as a bushing than the cheapo bronze pot metal ones! made from ABS or PETG on the 3d printer LOL.

    That's odd. usually the upper bushings go first. wonder if it's just a matter of the cheap pot metal they make them out of nowadays cracking and breaking.
