Real Delco’s last a seriously long time. Powermaster is another consideration.

Alternator issue. Connection likely or it’s toast. Your tachometer comes from the alternator, when you get the new one it is crucial you have the identical size pulley- often you have to reuse your old pulley on the new alternator.

Best to rotate and have even wear on them if planning to not use them on anything else after the suburban. but if you plan on turning any into trailer tires instead of running out on the truck- then keep running as is and when the first set is near limit you can replace just one set and keep...

The single split washer trying to retain it from vibrating loose and the fact that the copper crush washer is so soft- I became convinced years ago that its just bad application of a split lock washer. I thought about drilling the bolt head and using lockwire (aka safety wire) to bind it from...

If you get the chance- do a detailed video, take one minute per side or more of them mounted to the support. Maybe someone an spot something.

Awesome- enjoy the time!

I thought the acronym boat Bust Out Another Thousand Was for repairs, not fueling up!

Ok- so long as you can handle getting into it when the time comes. Online we can’t really tell individual capabilities- so concern was it becoming a money pit that swallows you. Take your time and learn the specifics of this engine because it has a horrible history. Once you know and address...

Wow- if you can’t find transmission people that can do the 4l80e- that is insane! One of the top 5 most popular used transmissions across platforms in the world. All the gm uses, jaguar, Rolls Royce, Mercedes, and more used this transmission. You either need to afford buying a complete brand...

100% the right answer. The best thing to do is permanently mount an electric fuel pressure gauge in/on the dash. Mount the sending unit in a metal tap fitting at the ip (injection pump) after the last rubber hose. Desired pressure is 8-14 psi. Factory style pumps simply won’t get that high...

Ok stop. This is going sideways. Put the solenoid back together and install it. Run an electrical jumper wire to force the lift pump to operate with the key off. Inspect all the fuel lines you can see from the tank to the lift pump looking for bad connections or cracked, this is 99% chance...

When in doubt, call their tech support. When rolling dice: Don’t bleed it. If you don’t bleed it and should have, you can always remove and bench bleed it later. If you bleed it and shouldn’t have, you cannot later choose the other option.

I’m arrogant, at times braggadocios not a narcissist. Education helps, try it sometime. I manipulate no one- start with learning that part. I offer help to others with no expectation of return nor self benefit, see how that lines up with narcissistic personality disorder. Anyone who ever met...

There is a ton of chinese knock off parts that look and are packaged EXACTLY the same. Make sure it is an authorized distributor for them. And like mentioned earlier, it is best to send the brand new set into a good shop and pay to have them reset up so they all pop within 25psi of each other...

Filling out the signature line with the rig details would greatly help here. Don’t just type them once in a post- who the signature line makes it pop up on one of your posts. That way is the discussion continues. Everyone can quickly glance at what you have to help with the diagnostics...

Gimme a break. The OP didn’t realize thats beyond the capabilities, warning them hurts nothing. If they couldn’t figure out overloading for the condition and capability of their trailer- they probably haven’t been doing this too long. In other words learning. I rather tell someone they...

built and rebuilt multiple trailers similar to yours. Get the load onto another trailer and get it on its way - ENSURING the trailer & truck are capable of the weight. Put your truck then trailer on the portable scales you own. Don’t own them - now you will. Seriously lucky no one died -...

Yes. 1/8” npt plug would seal it but I wouldn’t put it in until you get the sending unit (usually in a kit with gauge). Getting a gauge permanently mounted in the dash is key. You see the pressure and will notice when there is a drop in pressure. This indicates when to check things out...

If you do that and it starts- just screw in the solenoid and it will die. If it doesn’t because the solenoid ever failed in the open position, just pick the clear return line shut and that will stop it.
