Where is the oil leaking from the head at ? Was the 700r4 swapped in from a diesel or a gas truck ? Different torque converter is right. Also make sure the TV cable is set properly and has the correct geometry. SBC and 6.2 has the same bell housing pattern. Probably have to use cat...
I would put some new rear wheel bearings in it. If you pull the axles and they are damaged you can get offset bearings that fit the bearing at an undamaged area of the axle. And the seal is built into the bearing. I've used them before on an old Camaro and a civi 82 K-10 truck I have. Both of...
Yes they are. I got lucky and found an almost new one at a swap meet for $30.00. One thing I know is the 1982 civi trucks with the 6.2 used different fittings for the oil cooler in the radiator. Not sure about 1983. As long as you match up the year you should be ok.
I'd ask the seller on e-bay how many rows (cores) the radiator has. If it has 3 and you don't tow a lot or load real heavy
on hot days I think you would be alright. If it has 4 it should be a direct replacement. Good luck
Fit is the same. My friends M1009 had fewer rows. I think it was 2 or 3 rows instead of 4. It was a GL truck that we recovered and it had what looked like the original radiator. It was all rotten and leaking. I remember it had a much thinner core. Maybe just a fluke.
Yes I double checked before I originaly replyed because of the Avitar. He really didn't say what he was working on. I second the spin on filter(s). I just got done changing the filter to Injector Pump hose on one of my CUCV's. The truck was getting air in the fuel system so the other day I...
It is pretty clear when it is clean if you were pushing on something inside the return line check valve it should be the clear ball. If the truck runs with the return check valve removed I would install the check valve but not the hose and try it. If it doesn run then the check valve is still...
It's clear so its hard to see. I usually use carb cleaner with a nozzle to clean it out good it is spring loaded. Push it down and spray. You could try starting it with the return fitting out. I will leak fuel but should start right up. Good luck. What year is the truck ?
