    possible diesel swap

    The c6 was found behind some 7.3's wasn't popular to keep it but it will work. You might need to swap the bell housing and torque converter.

    2013 lost rail psi

    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.

    1997 K3500 454 Work Horse

    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...

    possible diesel swap

    Pretty sure I read that there are some running close to 400HP with the upgraded ip and turbo. Thats pretty impressive for a 4 banger.

    1997 K3500 454 Work Horse

    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...

    possible diesel swap

    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!

    Brake upgrades using factory parts for GMT-400(88-00 OBS), and 94-99 DODGE 2500/3500

    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'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...

    2013 lost rail psi

    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...

    2013 lost rail psi

    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.

    Pulling a trailer around today my actual rail psi is all over the place above and below the desired psi. Can efi live fix it?

    1982 k30, sticking around

    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.
