How many miles do you guys get out of them. I can’t remember any issues of them wearing out real soon so long as they get greased ok. I know a couple guys who used to pop off the boot, use a penetrating oil flush out any old grease then grease it &put boot back on. Doing that once each 50k...

Cat definitely uses split lock washers, internal and external lock washers. They just don’t use them everywhere. Only where needed and the best type for the area. Old cats vibrated so bad that they had a ton of problems with split lock washers breaking, then the bolt/ nut loosens up. When at...

Because they are on a lot of vehicles.

Manual transmission? Also, please fill out signature line so we can keep diagnostics straight.

Arp studs work well…

Ok. Correct there is no optic sensor. You have a fully mechanical ip (injection pump). The TPS (throttle position sensor) is exactly for the TCM (transmission control module) to help control when the trans shifts. Adjusting the TPS: Key on, engine off. Battery needs to have 12.6 volts...

Please post multiple pictures of your two pumps, including the id plates. There is some confusion in the numbers and descriptions.

The glow plug relay. Looks. Same as 6.2/6.5 early years. Is it the same or did you just use a 6.5 on there?

Oh yeah- those pads are barely in the slides.

Sounds like one of the wires doesn’t have the little tab in place that holds the pin securely in the connector.

Can’t open the links. Can ya show screenshots?

The issues of the 5.7 are known, so hopefully you can get a long life from this one. Is this the DX model? I used to recommend the Bosch 80034 glow plugs for this and the 6.2/6.5. I stopped when a lot of issues started popping up, including when mine snapped an element off when running and...

Excuse me sir, you can’t park there

Swapping the engine, transmission, harness differences, going to have to add a second fuel line it goes to the bottom of the fuel tank for the return line, change the sleep, change the steering column. Are you sure isn’t gonna be better just to sell this truck and buy a different one? Might be...

Make sure if there is ANY play in the hinges : when the door is open, lift up on the end of it and feel for freeplay as it goes up & down. There should be NONE. If there is some, replace the bushings and possibly pins as well. It’s annoying but required. Doing them by yourself, you might...

Can you make a video of it trying to start, post on YouTube and link it? That helps sometimes. Are you getting fuel out the metal injector lines? Do you have the clear tubing on the ip return line?

Start it and watch the fuel pressure & clear line.

THANKS NATE!

Oh, another option to think of- with power steering, ya might not need that large of a steering wheel. Momo, Grant, etc. you have to buy an adapter piece with each.

There’s a company called yearone.com that sells all the components for folks wanting original. I think they are nuts because even when I was skinny the gm bench seat was as uncomfortable as it gets… Squarebody floor is excellent (if not rusted). You can take some 1/4” flat bar that 2” wide...
