    Could this salvage cracked block ?

    I did it to a block (mains), I never got to use it as some head studs pulled when I was torquing it down. The kit isn't cheap. Missy Goodwench did it more than once with success AFAIK

    Opinions needed - Performed Optical Bump

    I may be wrong on the exhaust leak, slide under the truck and feel for a leak on the crossover donut gaskets. If you still have decent boost, I doubt it is that.

    Opinions needed - Performed Optical Bump

    Oh my God, Big T is going to explode. :) Seriously, an exhaust leak will likely have the sound of each cyl. Pull the vac line off the turbo acuator and put your finger on it to see if there is a steady suction on it.

    Actually they can throw code 35 and 36 in OBD-1, don't know what it is in OBD-2.

    I was going to mention the IP after grounds. My 98 would rev up fine in gear and do nothing in neutral or park. Then there was basically nothing. A different IP fixed it. Could be a multitud

    Starter bolt size

    With GM you don't know, older block to bell housing bolts were 3/8's with 1/4" cap screws for the brackets. Newer ones are Metric, with 1/4" cap screws for the brackets.

    Block heater buzzing

    All my outside GFI recepticles are on dedicated breakers, I could turn them on or off with the breaker. Sometimes I do but usually use a timer.

    Block heater buzzing

    Get a circulating heater, they can go in one of the heater core hoses, they aren't that much and will heat the whole block. When I rebuilt my engines, I Put a regular block heater on each side. That way the whole block is heated.

    Torque converter

    As was said, on a 6.5, I have never seen anything but 6 bolts, 6.2? IDK. I can't see there being a difference, same block. Parts people are Not created equal.

    Torque converter

    It's easy on the 6.5's to pull the cover off and have a look see. I cannot see why a 6.2 would be any different. All mine are 6 bolt. It may be? Manual with a clutch that has 3 bolts. Fly wheel vrs. Flex plate, 6 bolt.

    1996 K2500 suburban shut down

    Passenger back side of intake manifold can have 2-3 ground wires, remove them and shine them up. Not sure if 96 could be a cross between OBD1-2 for the ECM, it can be with the cooling system. My 95 FSOS (fuel shut off sol.) fuse would lose contact and shut the truck down. Newer (OBD2) ran the...
