Like I said, I want it gone. I enjoy the power but for 1.30/gal more for diesel I'm pretty sure I can drive a 454 just as cheap and not spend 800/month plus repairs.
I don't have any emissions tests but I'm dang sure not paying more for a top end hit than I paid for the truck! I want a workhorse, it doesn't have to keep up with my lml. I was honestly looking for another tbi 350 or a 6.5 when I ran across this truck. The 454 can supposedly take abuse, I'll...
It was an oem rebuild, I got the list but it says stock cam, stock pistons, etc. New factory manifolds and bolts. The water pump is also new. Its all nice and clean other than a leaking front diff. It has a new fuel pump, stock replacement I assume. It was a 70yr old man that used the truck to...
Ever since Leroy did the isuzu burb I've wanted a 4bd1 in a square body 4 speed dually. Nice sounding and stout built little engines. I mean they have cylider liners and aren't throw away design engines!
Looking to do the brakes on my 95 C3500 srw. I get the upgrades to the front but I ran into an issue on my rears.
It seems to have the 2.5" drums that are behind the hub. Is there an easy way to put in 3.5" drums or is it best to find a whole different axle?
If the solution is a different...
I might be loosing my mind but I found a k3500 crew cab long bed SRW 4x4 one owner Texas truck with 153k on the chassis and 3k on a rebuilt 454, rebuilt 4l80, new aluminum radiator, all new hoses, new ac system, new heater core, new alternator, new power steering and lines, new injectors, and...
I'm just cutting it loose before something else happens. In another 8k miles it will be time for my yearly brake rebuild (rotors, calipers, and pads) the 2nd master cylinder is starting to leak, there are codes popping up left and right now (glow plugs, low oil level, pour quality def, water in...
I'm affraid to break the big pig now... It actually runs great other than the rail psi and slightly high egts but this truck has always ran on the warm side for some reason.
The goal is just to make it last until I find a suitable gas or maybe 6.5 unit to take over until i get rid of the bitter...
I talked to their main tuner today and he said he has seen it before and needs a datalog. He said nothing about the transmission slipping, hope he can figure it out.
If you figure out how to get it to Oklahoma in a reasonable fashion I would take the whole rig if it has a good title and not butchered on wiring or rotted out.
