    Coolant leak is back, Plus oil sludge! 88GMCtruck's 1999 K2500 L65 = more problems.

    The head bolts were all very even as far as their tightness, it gets difficult to judge them by the time you're through all 34 of them (it is 17/ea, right?) I went through with a breaker bar and loosened them working from the ends to the middle, then switched to a ratchet and pulled all the...

    Coolant leak is back, Plus oil sludge! 88GMCtruck's 1999 K2500 L65 = more problems.

    Quick update: Pulled the waterpump off, no leaks between it and the timing cover. Picked up some roloc discs and have begun cleaning the important surfaces. On the Passenger side head there are cracks between the valves of 6 & 8. On the Driver side head there are cracks between the valves of...

    :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: Holy mother of **** (pick a diety/being on a summit/mtn/place on high). In 5 hours we two n00bs got both heads pulled off, and everything else to get to that point. Well, I had fun. I think it is a great learning experience, granted the timing is awful...

    OK. Need help. Swapping a TH400 out and NV4500 in OBS truck.

    The couple -4500s I've shifted are definitely not car transmissions. They kinda hang up when I tried to shift them fast; 97 Ram 3500 12V, and David's 99 Silverado.

    Not your average Dually project....

    Awesome. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to help you tinker on it.

    OK. Need help. Swapping a TH400 out and NV4500 in OBS truck.

    Aces, from what I can tell the slave cylinder on the 93 uses some o-ring sealed push-in style fitting, not a flare fitting. If you're still working on tcase compatibility it sounds like a NP241 from a 88-91 Suburban/Blazer will bolt up to the NV4500.

    OK. Need help. Swapping a TH400 out and NV4500 in OBS truck.

    Metric M12x1 hydraulic flare fittings for square body clutch parts. Looking into what was used on early NV4500s.

    OK. Need help. Swapping a TH400 out and NV4500 in OBS truck.

    Yup, dumb system, I prefer square body, gmt-400, gmt-800, & gmt-900. There are way too many year overlaps for the bodystyles. Aces, I *might* be able to figure out what the thread dimensions are on the fittings for the hydraulics, will let you know.

    Uhhhh, Ed what did I do?

    Any one interested in a group buy on HD/ Kodiak door handles?

    My dad needs a set. I guess just let us know when the details are hammered out for all the parts and pieces.

    A New Victim Brought To Barry's Refuge

    Mmmmm SM-465 with hydraulic clutch setup, I like it. I was just under my 83 earlier this week, adjusting my clutch linkage.

    A few lighting upgrades for my '83.

    I have no idea, but I am ready for some sunshine and warmth. I, too, like the look of the 5 on the tailgate, but I couldn't bring myself to do that to mine.

    A few lighting upgrades for my '83.

    GMT-800 DRW rear clearance light: I had this for my '07 but since that isn't going to happen I wanted to put it on something. I installed it this last weekend, centering it and filing the holes to the proper square dimensions for the OEM clips that I purchased with the light. David...

    What is a real 3500HD?

    Judging by the avatar and that pic appearing in his video(s) MrBeast = Richard. ;) Welcome to TTS, just saw your video on youtube yesterday.

    1996 GMC Extended Cab K3500 DRW Build

    Last time I spoke to my dad he had not decided on how he was going to patch the holes in the doors. Since it will venture to the body shop at some point my dad will probably discuss the options then.

    1996 GMC Extended Cab K3500 DRW Build

    While David was working in the truck I was underneath removing what I shall politely refer to as "cowboy wiring". The trailer harness was fubared beyond belief, those extra running lights on that scaffolding were hacked into the REAR DUALLY FENDER clearance lights. There was a pair of CB...

    1996 GMC Extended Cab K3500 DRW Build

    Oh, so my dad got this truck as he intends to buy a gooseneck large enough to haul either the D4-7U, JD 3020, or vibratory roller that he recently bought. He wanted the added tires of a dually to do so. This thing was priced right to allow him lots of room to customize it. Initial plans...
