If I were to replace everything could I buy a kit on ebay? Anyone know what a decent one would be and what they would run cost wise.

So I have a bad ac leak on my 1995 suburban, I added a bottle of the 134a and could hear it hissing out behind the firewall where the evaporator canister line (i think thats what it is) goes behind the firewall. The AC has not worked since I bought it almost a year ago and I was wondering how...

also could explain why that cylinder was getting more fuel than the rest maybe it was sucking the crap out of it.

well i figured it out thanks war wagon just pulled the valve cover off the pass side and what do you know one of the push rods slipped out from under the rocker arm on the number 2 cylinder... rookie mistake must have not been seated in there all the way then when i cranked it the first time...

thanks i will pull the valve cover and see whats in there

I should also mention the coolant is no longer pressurized and it is not loosing coolant. And there was an obvious blown section of gasket into cylinder # 8 Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the culprit here? I am hoping it would be something in the valve train, but no idea...

OK here's the deal I had all the symptoms of a blown head gasket, so I tore down the motor replaced the heads (new clear water) and gaskets etc. After assembly It seemed to run rough, smoked a little (white grey) at start and more after it got warm. I checked blow by just by opening oil cap...

well progress is being made not having a whole lot of time to work on it lately with work and everything. I got the heads back (clearwater) on and the exhaust manifolds. One mistake I made was I didn't mark the injector lines on the pump, can anyone tell me the order these go back on. I may be...

got the exhaust drilled tapped and pluged today as well as the intake manifold tapped for boost gauge. I figured out the water pump thing 97-98 are higher output 4 bolt fan clutch. 99-? are higher output with the screw on fan clutch. Apparently the screw on type has a better clutch system so I...

Well now I am confused... I bought a year 2000 water pump and it has a different fan mount system. Is this the right pump... does this mean I can't put the old fan back on this one? I wasnt planning on shelling out the cash for that right now.

i have read 11/32nds is that correct

Oh ok great I will pick one up asap i dont think I have any tapered taps. Thanks

ahh thanks 1/8 npt thanks now i just need to figure out what tap to use out of my set

By LH side i assume you mean drivers side... wouldn't it be better to get both exhaust manifolds after the passenger side manifold to get a combination temp. And why cant i just drill tap and thread a sensor in, why does it have to be welded? I would think these manifolds are thick enough that...

Ok so I want to prepare my truck for EGT gauge and Boost gauge while it is apart and I am waiting on parts. Does anyone know what size to tap the threads into the exhaust manifold pre turbo. I want to drill and tap threads then plug it so I can easily add a gauge later. I also plan on doing a...

Does anyone have a link or more info as to the brass /bronze coolant passage sleeve. Do machine shops commonly do this I haven't heard of it before.

Thanks for all the great replies... Seems to be some controversy between dual themostat and oem I suppose I will leave it alone for now and see how it goes

bigbluechevy quote:The best so far seem to be Chinese copies of the AM/general heads for the new 6500 optimizer blocks: does any one have a link for these or any info about them I havent seen anything about them. I guess I won't be doing the dual thermostat And I can wait and do the fan mod...

Hello everyone this is my fist post here at the truck stop. I just finished tearing down my 1995 6.5 L suburban F model, and I need some help as to what upgrades and new parts to buy. I have searched and read forums for hours... Here is what I have come up with. Felpro Head gasket set with...
