My G80 has a massive amount of miles on it and I don’t have any issue with it.It’s has been taken care of pretty well since I’ve owned the truck with a couple of drain intervals performed.
I’ve read they are troublesome but I don’t always believe what I read or hear.I’m sure yours will be fine too👍
I can remember some of the diesel Kiki injection pumps found on the Nissan diesels come think of it.My father and I installed a 4 cylinder Nissan diesel into an older industrial bobcat for winter snow plowing.
The full floater would be nice indeed.My rear is just the 14 bolt corporate differential with 9.5” ring gear.I put new acdelco backing plates on it several years ago.Has the G80 gov bomb that is supposedly known for trouble.
Thanks for sharing Big T.Mine is definitely the NP243 and the one I have on the way is too.I have some pennzoil transmission fluid from Napa and a new felpro gasket for it with front input seal and rear seal.I figure I may as well change those before I install it.
I’ll have to pick up a...
I compared both 96 and 98 model years to rockauto and it’s the same part number for the truck and suburban with electric push button 4wd.Rockauto calls it a NV243.I have heard of the 246 like you mentioned.I heard there was a issue with the housing wearing through at some point.
Today on eBay coming from Texas I purchased a good used NP243C transfer case for my 96 gmc.It has the electric push button 4wd.My current transfer case has very high mileage (630,000KM) and is leaking from various places.
So rather than try to repair/reseal my own I’m just going to swap it out...
It shouldn’t cost any more than $30 to have injectors sent my way from the U.S.Come think of it I bought a brand new DS4 pump from badger back in 2014.He shipped my way back then.I haven’t bought anything else from him other than a spare pmd.
Badger diesel is good as well.Although the last time I inquired he would not ship a set of balanced Bosch injectors to Canada when I asked him a couple years ago.Maybe now he will ship those to Canada but I didn’t bother afterwards.He also sells long body 6.2 Bosch injectors with denso nozzles...
I was thinking of just reusing the chrome oil valve covers I have.I bought them back in 2006 from eBay.They are still in good shape but need to cleaned up before I reuse them.When I first got them they have the off Center holes in them for a pcv valve so I just put chrome oil fill covers in...
Did you helicoil the stripped threads,leave it or just go with an oversize bolt and redrill the top plenum?I remember reading a post online where a guy double nut a stud on a 6.2 in that location and the double nut loosened up and destroyed one of the pistons,etc.
I’ll definitely ask him about doing that.🍻
It should be a great little engine once it’s assembled.I plan to paint it Chevy red with some duplicolor engine enamel to resemble the 1982 engines.I have a few cans of the alpine green by duplicolor but I think I’ll use the green on my 5.7 diesel when...
I spoke with the machinist doing the work on my 87 6.2 last week and he reported no cracks in the webs or anyplace else.I must have a pretty decent casting to have it survive 400K with zero cracks.Anyway they’ve done the align hone with arp main studs in place.They just need to bore the block...
Hey guys.Any opinions or experiences using the enginetech brand roller lifters in the 6.2 or 6.5?I was going to use such a brand in my 6.2 rebuild.Thank you.
I’ve never tried the power master starter but I hear they are really good.I’ve bought the aftermarket gear reduction starters on eBay for my 6.2/6.5 engines which have always proven to be good.Both my trucks also use new acdelco battery cables which I’m pretty happy with.
Your right about the...
