I have used Motive screw on adaptors for other vehicles and love their products. I have not used their adaptor for the Chevy. I have though used several different Snap-On adaptors which look exactly the same and they all leak. 2 chains just don't disperse the clamping enough. Read the...

The 6.5 is an indirect injection engine. Horsepower is not what IDI engines do. They run great, awesome low rpm non turbo reliant grunt, good mpg without turbo help and with a turbo have the ability to push a driver back in the seat with a gleeful yell. I’m not trying to make this about me...

6.5 turbo quick facts. 1994 GM side mount turbo with mechanical injection pump. 1995 - 1999 GM side mount turbo with several different turbo sizes and an electronic IP. 2000-2002/2003 GM 6.5 turbo in vans had a block made for a center mount turbo with oil supply and oil return casted into...

Growing puddle of some liquid under the right wing tip during the video.

I had the same issue that was fixed a few months ago. Just the new O-rings on the pump sure make it seem like it runs stronger. With the Viton rings so cheap and kits available from surplus stores and all over E-Bay. I now consider this a normal maintenance item for every 10 years or so of...

I did misunderstand. You just want to plug the sensor hole in the radiator? Just buy a 1985 K30 6.2 coolant level sensor and be done. They are cheap. If you want to have an engine oil temperature gauge. The best place to put the sensor is on the side of the block above the oil cooler ports...

I think I know what you are asking for. Post #260 in this thread is I think the answer: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?74514-M1007-CUCV-Suburban-Clone-Build-Thread/page7

I went and found my 11 year old thread about this too. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17290-Gasser-Cab-Install&highlight=

I’m 100 miles or so from you with a few spare gauges as well. What is the gauge doing exactly? If the needle just stays over past F then that is normally a sender issue. You can reach in over the tank from the drivers rear wheel area. That is where the ground wire several people already...

With the cab doors and roof off. An engine hoist works very well at pulling the cab off and on.

Exactly. The 1-1/2"-2" length difference is probably the issue. Adjust or lengthen your linkage.

Yes. All the doors that move inside there have some kind of seal on them. New seals make it really nice.

Alpine, when you get to doing the under dash stuff. Take the entire evaporator housing apart and put new foam in. It really makes a difference. Sharecropper, glad you got her on the phone. She was super nice when I spoke with her as well a few years ago. The holes in the brackets are sized for...

They all should start faster than you can let go of the key after pushing it forward. Since you have consistent slower starting. I would suggest getting the batteries load tested. If they are at 800 CCA minimum each. Then check all the leads between the battery terminals, the firewall mounted...

If all the above suggestions check out. Look at your torque converter to flex plate bolts.

Put a magnet up the slot the push rod lives in. There is no place for it to go but out of the fuel pump mount location.

I don't know about the roof ac. I do know that unless you insulate the entire truck top and bottom it won't do any good while driving in full sun. I have a NAP in dash on my M1009. I get 28° air out of the vents that make my eye brows flap in the breeze. Being bald, that is all I get. Yet...

I went Dakota Digital on my Cowdog project. It was a 12 volt truck from the start and I wanted gauges that were accurate. I also had a passenger side drop NP241 electronic speedo transfer case on that project so that made it easier. Look at LMC and their analog gauge set ups for the square...

I had the same thing on my M715 with a 6.2 last week. Fired it up, it ran for a minute or so and then died. No restart. I changed out the 3 year old filter, bled it and it fired on the 3rd try. Start simple on these engines. Battery grunt to turn a good starter. Air into the engine and a...

GM had a dual alternator set up for service vehicles like ambulances. Single thermostat and dual thermostat versions. I have not yet figured out how to isolate ground the CS130. There is a guy selling GMx turbo down pipes for the square body trucks on eBay that fits inside the frame rails. I...
