I don’t know what the Transgo can and can’t do.
CUCV wise. The vacuum pump at the rear middle of the engine has a hose that goes to the throttle vacuum valve on the passenger side of the injection pump. Then a hose and line go to the vacuum modulator on the side of the transmission. A little...
That tail gate doesn’t even have THE dent in the middle of it. Someone loved that bed and tailgate. It looks like the latching tabs for the under bed storage are broken off. Could just be the picture angle too.
Not only is the tail gate good looking. The hinges and chains are all there. Often...
That is a problem for all of us. Wear happens and rebuilds from auto parts stores are hit or miss.
I had a worn out box like yours and couldn’t find anything I trusted to be better “rebuilt”. New like this :

Just seemed too pricey. I...
Do all that was suggested above about the batteries. If you end up with 2 good fully charged and load tested batteries and still nothing at the switch.
Check for power at the alternator and at the starter solenoid hidden behind the air filter housing. If you have 24 volts there, then go to the...
Looking under the truck should be your next step. Engine, transmission with a bolted on transfer case. Then drive shafts to the rear and front. If there is another box bolted to the rear of the transfer case. Then you could have something like a GearVendors over drive unit on the rear drive...
The brake light signal goes through the blinker wiring between the brake light switch and the brake lights. Here is a video about how to check the flasher box:
The transmission cooler before, after or independent of the radiator is a ball of worms this thread doesn’t need to touch.
I put my oil on the drivers side and the external transmission cooler on the passenger side. I probably should have run the transmission lines to the passenger side of the...
Yes, drivers side with an extra transmission cooler that still goes through the radiator on the passenger side. Here is a video I did a few months ago about making new braided stainless hoses:
GM made the oil cooler separate on all of the GMT 400 trucks. That made me think it would be ok to do the same on my 6.5 Banks turbo GEP engine when I built up a Suburban to put it in. That was 7 years and 34,000 miles ago. I also installed an oil temperature gauge.
I used a 1995 6.5 turbo...
Probably the -34P TM. There is a gasket between the bottom of the compressor and the mount.
I was helping someone recover a truck 700 miles away years ago. It had a bad starter that we didn’t want to use again after the initial start. After about an hour on the road we noticed a little oil on...
I’m confused by your description. I got the new glow plugs part.
When you turn on the key the glow plug relay clicks, the glow light comes on but stays on more than 25-30 seconds?
At some point the light turns off and the truck starts right up then, correct?
Are you pushing the throttle...
Something to keep in mind is that the 6.2 diesel cooling system has around 4 gallons or 16 quarts of coolant in it. The stock thermostat is a 195° unit which starts to open at 192° and is fully open with full flow at 203°. The original post stated that there was a temperature gauge installed at...
