    i have not found the right suburban yet, so no hurry. have no more numbers from back in the day - jumped in the pool with my old cell phone in my pocket ;-) pre droid days where my contacts are saved in my gmail account.... when you get some free time maybe post a write up or send me a PM...

    6.5 replacement options

    would rather stick to a GMT400 chassis - bang / buck goes down after that i believe. so diesel depot is out. small father and son shop sounds good - what did they charge you for your 6.5 build and to what specs ?

    trouble with fuel gauges and or transfer flow TRAX UFS system

    just got off the phone with Brad who was nice enough to call me back even though he is, like me, busier than a one legged man in an azz kicking contest ;-) you are correct that sending unit needs 60 degrees of rotation. it has a pretty sturdy gasket, and is also covered with Permatex #2a...

    ok, it must be 120 F outside and i am sweating like i have not ever sweat in my life ;-) (ok that is not a bad thing - might loose a few pounds) and here is what the tank assembly under the cover looks like. i already emailed these to brad and will call him in a few, but i strongly suspect...

    ok, so let us start modding - the goal being MP and longevity first and foremost....

    and of course an exhaust will have to be custom made since the usual suspects in the aftermarket scene are not making any, correct ? i was just on the duramaxtuner.com site and was about to call him in the AM and am ready to just have someone overnight me an ECM ready to plug and play. just...

    just over 10k miles - now a squeaking sound at 20mph and more

    Posting from inside the kodiak. From 40 mph to neutral to engine OFF I have a constant squeak, squeak sound all the way to a dead stop that is speed dependent. So if I am correct I can rule out drivetrain as the cause. Service advisor at chevy dealership believes it to be u-joint(s) and says...
