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

    Pretty sure the Coolant Temperature Sender died. Was out doing some stuff and had normal temp readings until a couple of miles from home. Gauge needle started to bounce/flicker rapidly between 160 and 180 for a bit then just flatlined on the bottom peg. I did get the truck washed while out doing...

    CDR hose routings

    Turbo Inlet to draw via vacuum. Turbo Outlet side to pressurize your crank case...don't.

    Bolt holes in starter

    I measured my spare unit and got 10.07 or 10.1mm. Ensure you use M10 Starter bolts. Quadstar sells ARP units (special run, not on ARPs web page) or NAPA has them too. Don't forget the bracket at the front though. Don't try using 3/8" starter bolts because, while they'll thread in to the...

    In search of the Kent Moore J-39084 rear main seal install tool

    Yeah, my mistake. Googled the part number from the link vs the OP. $266 at auto tool dot com. No real help. Sorry Mr. Stang

    In search of the Kent Moore J-39084 rear main seal install tool

    Welcome to the site. Just googled it and the current advertised Tillman price for the J-39084-1 is about $71. I’d feel better with a picture of it but, anyway, here’s a screen shot

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

    Christmas present from my wife... ...installed. Service Tecs asked, 'did you drop that diesel in there yourself?' "Yes, my brother 635 and I did the swap but, we didn't replace a gas motor, it came stock that way." "No, really?" Those of you with C/K 1500 understand that the struggle is real.

    1996’s had them mounted on the firewall next to the Coolant bottle.

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

    Drove to the Mesa Overlook north of Virgin UT. Nice little drive up 8% grade with great views all the way.

    Modern Engines = no break in

    It’s not like the break in period rids the cylinder walls of the cross hatching either. When my heads were swapped out for P-400’s I had about 20K on the rebuild and the cross hatching was still present. The pictures weren’t the best so, not able to post up. FWIW, I broke my truck in pretty...

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    Maggie’s actually the ‘expert’ having a degree in Construction Management. The rest of have done this before but, really don’t KNOW what we’re doing.

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    Started with only a wisp of smoke that stopped immediately. Drove from SLC to Kingman with no smoke on restarts. Calling this one solved. Sunset overlooking Lake Mead’s surroundings. Narrow road (Pabco). BLM Rangers stopped traffic so a stolen car could be recovered What happens in Vegas...

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    I've been seeing some videos pop up lately of doing 'dry pour' with Ready Mix type stuff. Not sure about that. I've helped with some small projects but, nothing that needed any real quality type work. I'm just helping Chris (owner of the VW powered streamliner and Karmen Gia salt flat cars I...

    Not much more than day-labor-helper stuff.

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    Just a little. We’re behind on the “water year” but, more snow starting tomorrow in the forecast and lasting through the weekend. Me, I’m loading up the truck and heading to Kingman AZ to help a friend pour concrete for his new work shop floor. Temps are up towards the 60’s and forecasted to...

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    The day started off pretty nice. Pulled #6 GP and it looked fine. Gave it 12v for a few seconds and, like all the others, lit up just fine. Removed the old harness and will keep it around for a little testing. Thinking 12v to the harness, inserting a GP into one connector at a time and...

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    The heat shield removal and harness threading technique is an old, tried and proven technique. Thanks for adding it to the thread. It’ll help others and now I don’t have to write it up later. I looked up the QS Exhaust Manifold Bolt kit (why isn’t it listed under ‘exhaust?’) and it looks like a...
