Just avoid the parts stores Dex 6 fluid.
IDK about the amsoil regular transmixer fluid, if its all the 6 variety, or, if they too have two different grades of Dexron.
Yeah so what @ak diesel driver said, either rebuild Your transmission yourself or have a very, very, reliable shop rebuild Yours.
Be very careful the shop You choose.
Some shops are very warm on warranty work, even after enough times to make the transmission right, to shops that are effe you on...
/\_/\_/\_ WHAT HE SAID _/\_/\_/\
Do a search in this forum about the transmissions, or go to the transmissions portion and start reading.
Just since I have been a member of this forum, there are enumerable threads about people that made the purchase of a reman transmission from some parts...
A friend over here has some kind of a chevy, sort of a blazer looking thing.
Inline engine, 2005 IIRC.
It had a misfire, chevy dealer worked it over, its fixed, well it was for a phew days then started in again.
He read on some innernet blog where some mechanically inclined guy got his not very...
Be careful on
the pump shown in that link will not fit Your 6.2.
The one You need will have a flange instead of a pulley and that flange will have bolt holes drilled and tapped for You V belt pulley to bolt to.
Leroy all out of time keeper sets.
I seen they was OOS on his we site so sent him a email.
He said He most likely wont be ordering more of those in as it takes about two years to sell his 200 count minimum order.
Oh yeah, took the truck to the body shop, getting the new window motor assemblies installed, new window opening seals and new drivers and passenger side window, new switches and a new inside door handle on the passenger side.
Thats about all for now.
I checked and I think there is about 300 miles on My oil change, after the big dilemma.
I will be leaving for Ohio on the 18th and dont really want to have to change oil out along the highway so just not sure what I should do.
Maybe make a drive to Billings this weekend, that would put it at...
Yup, none of the pumps that I have seen will work on Your belt system.
I do think that there are balanced flow pumps for the V grove belt/pulley but IDK what the PN is for those.
Maybe @dbrannon79 or @Will L. can plop in the numbers.
Or You could seek out the micro groove belt system from an auto salvage and bolt it to Your engine.
That then would require an alternator made for that mounting system and if it has the AC compressor on the RH side then the belt system would need to be of the earlier micro groove belt system...
I believe that AC Delco might make their balanced flow pump for that system.
The multi V belt system drives the coolant pump in the opposite direction as what the single micro groove belt does.
So the flow cooler or any of those other pumps will not work on Your truck.
It has to be the pump...
I have a new flo kooler pump setting here, never installed.
@Will L has been involved in extensive studies about coolant pumps and what works.
The AC Delco balanced flow pump is the one that GM finally developed for these engines and they really do work.
On Amazon there is AC Delco authorized...
I went with the Air Dog as it also has filters on the pump.
If I had to do it over I believe I would go with the FASS system thats put together in a kit for the 6.5 diesel engine.
