I got the bushing swapped out. I was writting to demostrate a noise many might not think of and how little difference the new bushings made to the drive feel.

The burning of air and fuel is what give the engine power. Adding air but not fuel will increase the efficiency of the engine some. Which might make a 1-5% power increase at some rpm's. Basically, anywhere the NA 6.2 is not efficient the turbo alone might make those rpm's more efficient. A...

You are probably correct about the truck being older and upgraded. What does your blinker flasher box on the drivers side inner fender look like? Black box about the size of a cigarette pack with a single 3 pin plug or hug box the size of a TV dinner with 8 wires screwed in? You have a...

A few weeks ago Colton had driven RED to work at the airport. He texted asking if I could bring him a clean change of clothes since he had a date after work. I don't need an excuse to visit the airport, so I set off with his clothes to go look at planes. It was very hot and I parked my a/c'ed...

You can loosen the tailgate side of the hinges and slide it over a bit. I think the truck side of the hinges can be adjusted as well. Just be real carefull because the spring steel in there will hurt you bad. Pulling the glass out is easy as is pulling the felt. Clean the area around the...

It was nice to see you Chris and nice to meet Dave. Not much better than spending an after noon visiting and looking at mv parts. Thanks again for for the lunch Rory.

You could have a leaking fuel filter base. The engine starts on what is in the pump, revs up a bit as it runs out and then dies. Holdng a faster idle gets new fuel pumped in before it runs out. Very common problem. Before you spend the money on a new IP. Get a new square fuel filter base or...

Also check for loose connectors on the back of the alternator. Both positive and negative. I agree the regulator probably is the issue. However, I had a slight flicker only when driving on some roads. I ignored it. After a few weeks it happened anytime I moved the truck. Turns out the bolt...

I agree batteries are 99% probably your problem. However, a severly damaged starter motor from the under volt starting attempt could now be part of the problem too. I had a battery go bad, slow starting for 3 starts and then nothing unless I was hooked to a running slave cable vehicle. I...

You are welcome to stay with us again if we are on the route.

I agree. Chances are that since it is both of them doing the same thing. It is probably a common point. Passenger side bus bar and drivers side thru firewall plug are two known areas that need to be clean and tight. After that you are under the dash.

I second what George wrote. I got 5 of those silly engines and transmissions sitting in the back of a M35 right now. They were all free to me and I will let them go free. You have to get them out of the M35 though. I don't have a loader anymore. Be patient and a good set up will appear...

1985 Chevy K30 with the J code 6.2 diesel clutch, flywheel and pressure plate is what you need. Any auto parts store here in the US will have those parts. I put those exact parts on my 6.2 in the M715 with a NV4500 behind it. You will need to change out your 6.2 starter to the large opening...

What year exactly is the truck you are doing this to? 2wd or 4x4? If it is a square body (1973-1987 single cab or the square Suburban, Blazer and 4 door until 1991). They had large tunnel and small tunnel floors depending on 4x4 or not. I don't think the NV4500 will fit in the small tunnel...

Chris is correct about face to face meeting someone. I make it a point to only use the real names of people I have met in person. They are also normally the only people I will even attempt humor with. That doesn't go over too well though and I have pretty much stopped trying to be funny...

I emailed to your gvtc account. It is a pdf and I can't seem to get it to load here.

Mark, I did the solid state blinker conversion on my M35 Gasser. Should be the exact same number and letter wires you are working with. Do you have a pin out diagram of each wire from the blinker switch? I found that my best resource. I will look around for the one I used. It might say M715...

As I wrote yesterday. Interesting comments here. Colton and I took the truck for a test drive yesterday. 10 miles out we stopped to check things over and found oil on the passenger side of the truck. We were all excited about how it was running great, a little bit down on power, but running...

I was thankful for that Chris. I had the impact driver ready to go just in case. I think every one of those screws was stuck when I pulled the Gasser apart years ago.

I see traces of a small leak between the flex pipe and J pipe. I just stuck my head in there for a fast look waiting for my forearms to stop throbbing after doing those 10 way too long screws to get the pump off and on.
