So I finally gernaded my 93 K3500 Today, overheated (had a cracked he or head gasket issues), something started rattling pretty good and it started dumping nothing but pure unburnt fuel. lost at least 1 cylinder maybe more and it died on the side of the road.
Good news is I called up a friend that scraps these trucks and purchased a 95 k2500 4x4 Burban for $200, has a gm crate 6.5 td in it not too long ago and engine is nice and clean. I all ready have the tires/rims and the recently rebuilt trans from the burban and computer but he sold the transfer case.
My 95 K2500 with the disc brake conversion lost reverse a little while ago and sheared the ps pump bolts, so it is waiting to be worked on. Wife says I dont need to 2 pickups so I think it is time to rebuild the burban and the 95 and the k3500 will become the donor truck.
So I will put the original trans back into the burban mount some rims/tires and put the ecm back in, but will the transfer case from the 93 work on the 95? I am assuming so.
Also since the 95 Pickup needs a trans will the good 4l80e from the 93 work on the 95? The 93 All ready has an updated harness because it was leaking so I am not sure what other sensors I will need to change maybe the valve body and the TCC Solenoid Lockup?
To make the burban more reliable what will it take to mount the mechanical injection pump/intake into the burban? Can I use the computer from the 93 in the burban and basically transfer everything, including all the sensors/cables and maybe the wiring harness? not sure how that would work with the update gauge cluster but it is all ODB1...
