oil or fuel?

GMT400 limo edition!

Yeah that was a good find and save there! I had to replace mine on the 95, for one person laying on the concrete driveway it was a bugger to say the least! I got lucky though and only had to unbolt the trans and slide it back enough to get by wrenches in there! future note. keep a...

I use an app on my phone called fuelly to track my mileage along with tracking when it's time to do the oil changes. the app is free but I invested into the paid version for 7.99 a year. one of the perks on the paid version is getting to add it to my signature here in the forums. my problem...

Nice work! wonder if you were to custom make a sharp 90 with flanges on both sides, then tweak the down pipe if that would give you some extra clearance. something I have always wondered... on these gmt400's what it would take to convert to a short bed. I keep picturing in my head of my 93...

on your PS fluid, do you have a cooler installed? it could be getting how during your drive and puking. could also be a leak too, stop by a car wash and clean that area off (dollar store oven cleaner works wonders then wash off with water) drive a little ways and look for where it's leaking.

what was the outdoor temp on that startup? looks like everything is clearing up nicely. my only suggestion is to make sure the fast idle solenoid is connected and working. it should be tied into the cold advance solenoid so it increases the idle on cold starts. I have mine setup like...

you can always keep the ones you just made as spares/mockup units and re-make them with any added design changes from stainless, then wrap those LOL 🤪

Hallelujah! one hour spent and loads of heart ache avoided! wish you well and safe travels on your trip.

Nice!! question, how low does that crossover hang (from the ground) I assume you are planning for suspension lift or tall tires for offroad shenanigans.

Dude, it's not if but when it will snap your block. that "bro" doesn't know much about these diesels and it shows! the best way to get at that bracket is to lift the front end so you have some wiggle room, pull the front tire off so you can get in there. that bracket has got to be...

Excuse my language but HOLY SHIT!!!! get that bracket installed ASAP!!! or else risk a cracked and busted block. my 95 is "still" living proof you need that bracket. the mounting ear on my block that holds the starter broke out and was welded back, threads were toast and was heli-coiled...

Just for shitz and grinns, you don't happen to still have that noise filter connected to the optic sensor in the harness do you? it will be a short harness with a small black box inline, one end connects direct to the optic sensor and the other end to the truck harness. if so, remove it and...

One of the pins on the obd connector is for the light. you can probe a test light there to ground and count flashes that way too! a small ultrasonic cleaner is available on the jungle site for around $40. I use mine a lot. went with the one that has mechanical dials over the digital ones...

Here is a method to read codes by shorting the two pins. although this guide says to short pins A and B, iirc on my 95 I used A and M. https://www.dieselhub.com/maintenance/6.5-diesel-obd-dtc.html Code 31 is for the EGR.

Honestly I have never heard of cleaning or replacing the optic sensor with the IP still in the engine, not sure if that is possible without having to re-time the IP. if it was or is visibly dirty, how it the condition of the fuel? these IP's cannot run off from colored fuel like red farm use...

Welcome @bigred95

I would also check timing, there is a simple procedure to "check" and see if it might need adjustment. @Will and @ak diesel driver can explain it to make better sense than I can, but it's basically amounts to this.... get the engine fully warm first. then look with a flashlight on the...

Nice work! the only thing I would be worried about for the future is the flex joints. when the day comes they start leaking and you need to replace. iirc they make them with v band flanges so that they could easily be replaced, wonder if you have clearance for that though. Though on my 95...

just an idea too, is a bolt on brace for the turbo or manifold at the turbo flange to the head or block to help support the weight of the turbo. the constant shake and heat cycles could put too much on the exhaust port flange causing it to bend over time creating a leak point.
