:rolleyes5::rolleyes5:I had another arrival at my 6.5 refuge yesterday. A close friend and his son have had it since it was 3 or 4 years old. It's a 93 k2500hd ex-cab LB 6.5 nv4500. It has around 275,000 miles on it. The body is rusted badly and the clutch is shot. It does run very...

Yes, that's right I bought something other tan a 6.5 or a John Deere.:yikes::yikes: I bought 2 Volkswagons this past weekend. One 87 Cabriolet convertible w/ 1.6? gas motor and a 85 Golf 2 door Diesel n/a.:eek: :WTF: :rolleyes5: The Cabriolet runs pretty good and drives excellent. It has 2...

I bought the electrical kit mentioned and pictured in this thread: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?29077-Electrical-kits-for-4L80E-s I finally got to putting it in today:rolleyes5: The kit is going in a 94 k3500 srw. This truck was throwing a 1-2 shift solenoid code. It...

I got my new towing mirrors from Leroy today. I bought a set of the "Plain Jane" no option mirrors. No power or lights to deal with. These will be very easy to transfer to other trucks when need be. I also installed them this afternoon on my 94 k3500 srw. This will be my main towing truck for...

Since I will be killing 2 trucks for parts for my project truck, I thought I'd start another thread on just the killing of the very tired donor trucks. I have junked 5 of the GMT400 trucks so far. The first one this time to get killed is a running and kindof driveable 93 K2500HD extended cab...

I know as good as nothing about manual trannys.:agreed: My current project truck[thread in "Project Central"] has a nv4500 and the clutch must be replaced before the new engine goes in. There are cracks around the bolt holes in the pressure plate. This truck has been converted to a solid...

Greg, I don't know where you got the photo service you posted the pics on but it just took over my computer. Posted it's own icon and wouldn't allow me to delete. Now I get to run a full scan to remove the malware it sent.

Yes, yet another bout with my addiction. I just can't help myself:nonod: Not all 6.5s brought to Barry's refuge can be saved. This poor creature lived a very rough life and deserves to die saving others. This thing actually runs very well and drives. It has a 6.2 bottom end with 6.5 heads...

My computer crashed back before christmas and I lost a link to a site that sold just the electronics for automatic transmissions. It was posted here or in the 6.5 section by another member. Any help finding this site would be great. I need all the electrical parts inside the tranny including the...

Well I didn't need another truck but I couldn't pass this one up. It has the cleanest body and frame of any truck I own. It spent all but the last year or so in Colorado. No real rust at all. The PO spent over $1900 in recent repairs. It has a new clutch, radiator, heater core, water pump and...

I was cruising craigslist today and had to race to the phone to call on this deal. :cool: 82- 6.2 diesel w/ 120,000 miles. In running order. $100:yikes::yikes: Yep , that's right. A red block 6.2. It still has most of the red paint under the grease and grime. I've never seen one with this...

I was on the phone with customer service at Dipaco today about other things and thought to ask them about the pmd failure-runaway. They definitely know about it and know the serial numbers of the ones that could fail. They told me that if you had one that failed to call them and if it is in...

I recently bought a set of PYO wheels[02-2011 GM aluminum wheels]. These are the worst I've seen.:shiiiiiite::shiiiiiite::shiiiiiite::shiiiiiite: :rolleyes5::agreed: The clearcoat was missing from most of the rim part of the wheel and there is much pitting. I got them cheap[$75]:thumbsup: and...

Myself and Handcannon recently bought the heated electric lighted tow mirrors from Option Racing. These are the same mirrors that 88GMCtruck swapped onto the "Towpig" and did a "How -To" thread on the install of them when he put them on his 88 gmc. The mirrors are gourgous and seem to be good...

Since i'm having cluster problems with my 94 3500srw I thought I'd harvest the cluster from the dash of a 93 k3500 that i junked a while back. I had removed the entire dash from the truck before I scrapped it. So I thought I'd take some pics and write down how I get them out. Tools required...

I just took a glance at the reference library to see if anyone has done a tool thread. I didn't see one so, I thought I would start one and then one of the mods could put it in the library. I'll post up the tools I have that get mostly used on this body style truck and these engines. If you...

Since I am putting a new HO water pump in my 94 k3500srw I'm thinking about restricting the bypass that comes from the coolant crossover just below the thermostat. I remember something in a thread here that Bill Heath does this to the latest style pumps with the spin on fan clutch. Has anyone...

Thought I'd start a thread on the 94 K3500 regular cab srw truck I'm working on. I bought the truck from a construction company along with 2 other 6.5 trucks this fall. The truck has 150,000 miles on the body. Some rust but not terrible. It had not been used in 5 years since the forman that...
