    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    on your connector you have a couple of options. for a more factory look, see those other connectors on the same panel that have the plastic clips? venture out to a JY and snip a couple of them off another rig. spice them into the two wires and clip them into the block. other option is...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    Thank you! I may attempt to pull the shifter off this weekend so I can get a good looksee at what is going on with it. that is as long as the weather is decent. supposed to have a cold front moving in. My son ordered a bunch of parts for it too. intake / exhaust manifold gaskets, LED...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Check fuses and grounds. if not, maybe the trans main connector. does it give you trouble codes like my trans controller will? maybe it's just frized out since you have been gone, it's been treated with all new parts and doesn't know what to do LOL. my 95 the other day, batts were weak...

    Timekeeper explosion in P400

    Here is something to think about... I don't have a set to look at physically but maybe others can and answer this.... the plates are thin metal but how tight is the tolerance for them to slide onto the pins. as well as how tight is the tolerance for the pins and the bore on the gears. I...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    Well after doing some reading, a hydraulic slave and master would be needed and remove the manual clutch linkage. that might be a no go. 1 he wants to keep it as original as possible and 2, it might prove to be more trouble than I want to dive into right now. there are kits available, but...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    He would be going from ... SM-326 1st=3.50, 2nd=1.89, 3rd=1.00 to NV3500 1st=4.02, 2nd=2.32, 3rd=1.40, 4th=1.00, 5th=0.73 I have no idea what the rear end gears are, I would assume they are 4:10 or 4:11 gears. what do they normally come with in these trucks? C10 single cab with 8 ft bed and...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    I just went out and got the cast numbers off the trans he gave him. GM 23049844 on the bell housing and GM 23049617 main body. according to the innerweb the 23049844 is a getrag 5 speed NV3500. grabbed a pipe I had to fit over the shifter knub and went through each gear turning the input...

    4l80e slipping in forward when cold

    what's your climate like in your area? heat making it work better sounds like a pump issue. it can't move fluid very well till things warm up and fluid thins out. usually it's the other way around but I have seen it happen both ways on a trans. Could also be clutches too. heat expands...

    96 Chev 6.5L Turbo - after 20 min starts running rough like it's missing

    if you still have the old one that you replaced, I know it was randomly shutting off with it, but would it run longer than 20 minutes? if so, mount it to something flat that will protect it from burning out . if you have a spare heat sink use that. connect it up and try it to see if the...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I would just undo the turbo at the 4 bolts and the down pipe band clamp leave the manifold intact. that will give you some room. use a thin coat of red RTV silicone on the mating surface of the flange where the 4 bolts are when putting back on. be sure to use some PB Blaster for the bolt...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    Agreed! The PO gave him a (can't remember if 4 or 5 speed) getrag trans for it (looks alot like an NV3500). But to install that, we would need to shorten the driveshaft. He just wants to get it to the point he can learn to drive stick. I told him he can drive it as is now, just keep a...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    Here is the install video. it's a good detailed one. starting at time stamp 20:53 shows in detail how it works with the center locating pin. the locating pin is supposed to stay in the 2-3 shift lever and can be pushed over to the 1-R lever which is under spring action. on this one the...

    Help with Mr Gasket 7667 3-Speed Shifter Rebuild

    Hey guys, working on my son's 68 Chevy C10. the 3 speed manual trans has a Mr Gasket brand part number 7667 floor shifter installed. these are NLA as far as I can tell. replacing it with a Hurst equivalent is expensive. The shifter has gotten sloppy and the center arm locating pin will...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    if it's getting to it, idk if on the square body rigs if you can pull the inner fender out like you can on the newer GMT-400's That's what allows us easier access to them. other than having to pull the down pipe off the turbo to gain access. if you do that, you might need a flange gasket...

    Timekeeper explosion in P400

    Still at 1/16" that's too thin in my book! that's in the realm of sheet metal! I would think with the outward force it would at least need to be around 1/8 to 1/4. it looks like there is room for a lot thicker material there

    Fuel system setup

    I did kinda the same thing last time I pulled the tank on the 95. eliminated the sock and cut the steel line about a foot or so in front of the tank. used to sections of 6" fuel line, double clamped to the steel line I cut and put an inline clear plastic fuel filter so I could see what it was...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Have him cycle the key to let the GP's do a double cycle and see if that improves the cold startup. if you put in the 60g's, they will need slightly more on time to reach a good heat. most folks will add in a manual override button in the dash. push and hold for 10 seconds and should fire...

    Timekeeper explosion in P400

    Kinda wonder if the dogbone just snapped at the thinnest points are these just stamped steel parts? that might be the cause, a small fracture at the weakest areas due to the stamping process. how thick are these dogbones? also could have had some burs from the stamping process which caused...

    Fuel system setup

    I would say choose one of the high performance ones. what is the difference in them? I have heard the metrum rod is the best. at least I think that is what it's called. the 1/2" is cheaper than the stock and will give you room for later upgrades and activities if you so choose later down the...

    Pulled the 95 brown truck out from under the pecan tree where it's been parked for quite some time today. had to take off early from work to tow my son's car home from his work. had the truck on a little battery maintainer all this time. opened the hood and while removing the charger I...
