So it's 50F ambient right now. I drove the truck about 8 miles. My fuel temp reads 95 with it running. I shut it off and checked temp and it stayed at 95 degrees for about a min. then went to 96. 5 minutes later I checked it and it's 100 degrees. Hope this helps some. Let me know if you...
I really like the truck. I bought it in 2005 and it was all stock. It has been a really good reliable truck. I had the stock lift pump take a crap years ago and then a couple Walbros, now I'm running a Delphi pump for a Cummins with a regulator and that seems to be working well. Other than...
Yeah. Well, my truck is a 99 and everytime I have to smog it they tell me the book shows I should have EGR. I said no thats the S engine code. So luckily I still have the stock emission sticker so they go by that. So being in the field I called BAR and ARB to let them know they need to...
Correct. Just wanted to make sure you didn't get done and find out it couldn't be registered. I've dealt with the smog referee on a fuel injection setup I did on a 85 Suburban. There have been a few I know of that did 12 valve swaps to find out they won't allow it. That's going to be sweet...
I own an auto repair shop and contacted BAR and ARB about the problem with their books stating EGR. Nobody gave a shit. They told me I better not lose my emission sticker showing no EGR. I said I am bringing the wrong info in your system to you attention, so you can fix it. They don't care...
Thanks. No. No restrictor fitting. Just ran it the way it came. I'll get some pics tomorrow of the throttle bracket. I didn't take any pics. and he only took the 2 I posted. He's pretty excited about doing all this and he comes home tonight all amped up about how much smoother and better...
Just finished up the swap today. My son started pulling the 6.2 Thurs and we finally finished it up today. He ended up buying new 93 Injector lines, a 4911 pump from Pensacola diesel, oil cooler setup from Leroy diesel, polyurethane engine mounts, and a few other things. We did have to make...
Yeah. Thats what came in it back then. But I have been using VI for years with no problems in mine. Here's a link with some info from GM.

Interesting. I switched to it close to 10 years ago and still have original transmission with 186,000 on it. Shifts fine. Wonder if it's coincidence. And there was a service bulletin released in 07 saying that Dexron VI is the only approved fluid for 2008 and prior cars and trucks originally...
Correct!!!!! All I was wondering was if he runs the 6.2 injection system temporarily will it cause any issues with the heads having turbo precups. And it looks like when he goes to the moose pump and 6.5 turbo injectors he will need a injector line set off a 92-93 because 94 and newer lines...
He doesn't want to spend the money on the moose pump right now. Can he put injection pump, 6.2 injectors and lines in the 2001 6.5 without any issues with the turbo precups in the 6.5 heads? And when he does do the moose pump, from what I've researched, he will need to buy injector lines for a...
So my son has a 83 K5 with a 6.2L and a turbo on it. He can run his 6.2L injectors, lines and injection pump until he gets the Moose Jr. pump correct? From what I've researched the injector lines from the 2001 6.5L won't work with the mechanical Moose Jr. 6.5 pump. Is that correct?
So just a question here, are the blocks on eBay saying new and improved for like $1300 garbage? I just can't imagine spending this much money and time knowingly starting off with a block that has cracks in it hoping for the best.
Wouldn't use any surface conditioning discs Rodd. Have had many of other shops/or do it yourselfers using them do a head gasket job and the car gets towed in to me with an engine knock and the people wonder why. I don't think I've used a surface conditioning disc in probably 20 years on an...
