I have a 1999 506 (April ‘99) long block which failed and seized due to loss of oil pressure from an oil cooler line that failed. Engine never over heated. It was replaced with a new Optimizer 6.5 last August. I need to get rid of it as we are starting construction on a second garage.
I would...
Oil pressure great, but not liking the white exhaust smoke and roughness on acceleration. Should be showing blowby test along with compression figures for each cylinder.
I replaced the OEM fitting that stabbed into the turbo intake boot because it was leaking. I installed a bulk head fitting in the boot, but it is still leaking at the inlet nipple. Eventually that inlet nipple will be connected to a the outlet of a CKO ProVent catch can. Truck has blowby and...
Worked on removing a section of chain link fence today. We have had no rain and the clay soil is super hard. Fence poles were breaking off at the concrete. Down to a live oak which has grown into the fencing. That sump ain’t budging and I tried the tractor and my ‘94 K2500 with a chain. Seem...
For my ‘99 K2500 Suburban, RockAuto shows Monroe steering stabilizers in two lengths: 26.688 inches extended length and 27.938 inches extended length. Which one should I get?
‘99 k2500 Suburban. GMT-800 front brake conversion with TSB proportioning valve. Rear drum brakes are new as of 4,000 miles ago. Rear brake pistons are the larger units from the 1 ton. ABS brakes generally do not work 99% of the time.
Left rear wheel will lock up before all the other wheels at...
Haven’t opened the door up just yet, but the driver’s side door window has lost connection to the regulator. No up, no down. I can pull the window, but it immediately drops down.
Before this condition there was some grinding when I tried to move it up with the button. It had been...
Month ago stopped ‘94 Suburban in front of son’s house and on restart, nothing from the starter. We left for Montana next morning. Order a PowerMaster Starter and have that installed, but same result: nothing. Have it on battery charger and everything else is workIng, just not the starter.
This...
I am looking at a 2006 LBZ for purchase in the Henderson area of Las Vegas. It has 199K miles, owner has owned it 8 months and it was his first diesel truck and is his daily driver. He has since bought a 2020 for better looks. It previously started life in Montana, then Washington before he...
Friend’s 2006 LBZ 150K miles on cold start-up, high idle, 17F ambient temps.
Is this amount of smoke normal for the conditions and those injector balance rate?
So after installing the clear line with a roller coaster loop to eliminate any kinks, I continue to experience air in the system. On a cold start after sitting overnight, the engine starts immediately, but it will experience sputters, or missing while under acceleration for the first 3 to 4...
Got the Power Steering Pump installed, but it is not working. I think that maybe I got the hydro boost outlet hose and inlet hose swapped at the pump. I have it on the circled pipe:
The pipe next to it has the top left hose from the steering box. Fill it with fluid, put on jack stands...
Radiator on my ‘05 Honda Accord EX 2.4L w/ 5 spd manual developed a leak in the lower plastic tank. I ordered one Denso unit from PartsGeek whose site stated it fit vehicles with manual transmissions. It came with the cooler fittings for an automatic transmission. Sent the unit back and they...
Had a no start on the ‘94 where I shut down the truck in front of my son’s house and the starter would do nothing. Had my son tow me the 2 blocks home.
In the course of driving this truck, I would periodically experience the same no start, but turn the ignition switch off and then to start...
