OK, figure I better return to this thread, same basket case pickup.
After sitting all spring summer and fall I finally tore into it again. I pulled the ignition switch and swapped it with a used one I got from a guy who pulled it off a pickup that was known runner with a blown engine, so the...
I guess we need to know the terrain you travel (flat land or nasty grades) and how big and heavy the trailer is.
IMO unless the camper is a monster and you want to pull Donner Pass every weekend, I would stick with the 6.5L
As far as weights, as long as you are within the GVWR and GAWR of the...
Nice looking burb, welcome back to 6.5L life! :) Any replacement history on the engine? I am a little worried about it being a 97, but hopefully if it lasted this long she should be one of the good ones!
Here is the cracked and welded one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-1995-1996-GMC-Truck-Cast-Iron-Bellhousing-15723837-Chevy-V8-Getrag-NV4500/122839043008?hash=item1c99c70bc0:g:rTEAAOSwzXxaIcCC&vxp=mtr
Sorry boys, havent put it in anything yet. so far just hoarding it. :)
I have wondered if a guy should duct tape two sheets of cardboard to the fuel cooler in winter time on the Duramax to ensure warmer fuel makes it back to the tank.
We had an old GMC Astro cabover truck with a 6V92T Detroit Diesel, and the ol 2 strokes returned alot of fuel, many say fuel is...
Awesome chain of events guys, excellent work!
So is someone going to be offering a pre-wired controller all set up and ready to go? :)
I do have a question: what percentage of lockup can these fan clutches achieve? Are they an electro-magnet inside that can lock it 100 percent, or is it just...
Hey all,
I figured I would give you guys the heads up, on a farm forum I am on I learned about an affordable and long lasting grease gun tip, even though its made in china I have been super pleased with it.
Alemite 308730A the "A" is pretty important, so dont leave that out.
Cheapest to buy 5...

@tanman_2006 need one for farm truck projects?
@tanman_2006 I thought I saw one before, turns out I did. Too bad the link is not good anymore.
To everyone else, I found another 92-95 NV4500 cast bellhousing and luckily got it tied down.
I will try to get pics when it shows up.
Gotta harness all that 6.5L power somehow. For such a...
Rot scares me.
I think I would try to find one in a rust free state with a bad motor, or try to buy it cheap and part it out yourself.
Just because a truck is not worth fixing does not make it worthless.

@Will L. I saw you talking about Power Wagons on Nick's Duramax swap thread, so I figure I better show you this one. :)
This is our good buddy from Colby, he keeps us supplied with Allis Chalmers Farm...
