    1997 K3500 454 Work Horse

    It took my wife driving the 454 truck with the white knight chained to the front to get over the hill to leave my farm. I've pulled that hill with the same load and a tbi 350. This pig needs more corn in its diet it seems.

    Rebuilding my tbi 350

    Been a little while on this one. After buying the vortec 454 truck I sold the 4 bolt block and 383 kit with original intentions of an ls swap (might try it eventually). I came up with a low mile 5.7 vortec that had the edelbrock intake and new heads for $600. Figured I'd throw a cam and...

    This was not a happy 454. It down shifted into 2nd many times to hold 55mph.

    Any news on the 3.0L I6 Duramax?

    At this point I'd let it vent a block under warranty. At least it wont be on my dime

    Project White Knight

    It will be too close to sooner colors, I'd rather be orange and black lol

    Any news on the 3.0L I6 Duramax?

    I'm seriously considering trading my lml in. Not sure if I want to buy another diesel at this point but I'd consider it.

    I just put 27.1 gallons in my truck with the needle on the first red line. Seems like an awful lot to be the small tank. I need to measure the tank on one of my other trucks and see how they compare.

    Got the ect and iac out today. No more codes. Tcc now locks but kicks out on every hill. Guessing my injectors are junk? Still wouldn't out run a healthy stock 95 6.5L. Also still idles 1000 rpm warm and hard starts (sign of poor injectors)

    Local shop quoted me 1600 including ring and pinion for a rebuild but they have a used set I can have if it comes down to it.

    This is most likely, instead of a porn blocker she has a truck parts blocker installed lol

    The seals next to the cv's are leaking. They aren't just gushing oil, it only took a couple pumps from my 5gallon bucket to top it back off.

    The tank has surface rust suggesting it has some age, it matches the exhaust and axle rust. Shouldn't there be an rpo for the tank? The po said he always ran out at 1/4 tank and I put 22-24 gallon in at that point. The axle holds oil it just needs topped off every oil change. I'll just have it...

    One question, this truck seems to have a 26 gallon tank, will the 36 gallon tank bolt right in or do I need new straps, pickup assembly, or anything else? Dumbest thing I've ever seen, a 3500 long bed 4x4 with a big block and a small gas tank.

    I am waiting for a quote from blumenthal's, they are my first choice but I have to check my other options too. I'm not a jasper fan but they gave me a quote immediately. They also quoted 2600 for the front diff, no way in hell that will happen! Its output bearings have some play and it leaks...

    I'm you have answered this before but why valve reliefs? Are you making a cam that will need them?

    Jasper has a 3yr 100k warranty for 1600ish. Haven't checked Blumenthal yet

    Last one I did was a 4401(?) In a 94 k3500. Found out that you just buy a good reman from bluementhals and let them square it up. This one has fresh rtv on the seam so I am guessing some one already half assed a repair.
