    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    it might also be that the hose is getting cut by the clamp. it looks like it's bulged a little behind the clamp. maybe get you a new set of clamps and a replacement hose and some coolant. what coolant are you using, that looks red like dexcool!! dexcool is the worst of the worst to...

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

    New cam bolts and washers I would say. I would also take a drimmel and clean out the slots where the knockouts were. looks like the one you posted still has some material in there that would prevent the bolt from sliding in the slot

    1968 C10 Power Steering Ideas

    My son's 68 chevy doesn't have power steering and he really want it installed. I have done a conversion on an old 67 before simply by installing a box pump and brackets from a 70 model which all was a direct bolt up mod. his truck has an aftermarket AC installed which kinda hinders this. I...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    is this engine oil or trans fluid leaking? if it's leaking on the threads, you just need to remove and put the pipe dope on the threads. most likely it's the clamp though.

    Got some time today to fiddle with the shifter on his truck. only two bolts that hold the main part on the brackets. got the shifter pulled and layed out on the table where I could get a good look at it. didn't take any photos, but I noticed right away once I got it apart what the problem...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I'm still wondering why your glow plug light cycles on and off with the key on. to me something isn't right like maybe the GP controller is tripping. Maybe @Will L. can provide some info on that.

    My Shop

    Almost looks like something from a brake rotor lathe. I bet you could implement it with yours and have an extra cutting bit holder for your lathe

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    The rear window might just be a fuse or circuit breaker in the fuse box. hope it's not the window motor. if all is good, place a hand on the door with the engine off and actuate the switch and see if your hear or feel the motor trying. might be a bad spot on the motor or the regulator stuck.

    Best coolant for 1996 GM 6.5L

    On a Hummer, is there any way to add a sort of funnel type deflector between a push guard and the grille to force air to go into the stack at those speeds? if it sits behind the push guard it won't be noticed at much for appearance. maybe even continue that funnel behind the grille up to the...

    5.7 diesel up and running

    I've had decent luck getting the pentles out after a good hot bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. might also be able to loosen them by putting the nozzle in the freezer then using a quick blast with the propane torch, the outer part will expand before the pintle will and give you a moment to...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Where exactly is that sensor located in your pic? that looks like something threaded into the block off plate behind the intake. I don't thing GM put anything there and that might be something aftermarket that's not in use. the temp sensor is usually on the drivers side head by the front of...

    Check for air in the lines. if not, the GP's need more run time.
