    HELP! Need engine install in Florida - preferably a 6.2

    My suggestion is call all the site supporting and site listed suppliers. They support us so why not see if they can help. Eastern surplus might be a good place to start, but there are others. Many others. https://www.easternsurplus.net/ https://memphisequipment.com/ You should also post on...

    How do you torque the crank bolt properly?

    You can open the plate that covers the flex plate and torque converter and hold the flex plate making sure not to bend it. You can look up online to see if there are devices that will mesh with the gear to lock the flex plate as per the duramax suggestion by aseabee

    Economical source for M998 seat cushions?

    Get the material or similar material and sew it. This is not a hard pattern. Although the Eastern Surplus option sounds terrific.

    I use noise canceling headphones. I bought a cheap set on Amazon, but the new iPhone headphones also noise canceling well.

    What is the ideal 6.2 crankshaft/balancer bolt size, and what is the crank/balancer diameter?

    Frank8003... There is a bit more to it my friend. The 6.2 had an update indicating a longer bolt at higher torque was indicated. As far as the crank diameter, I need to purchase vs make a tool to drill the interface between the crank and the balancer to insert two dowels to prevent spinning...

    What is the ideal 6.2 crankshaft/balancer bolt size, and what is the crank/balancer diameter?

    6.2 N/A... What is the ideal size and grade and make of the upgraded crankshaft/harmonic balancer bolt? What is the ideal torque? Red or blue Lock-tite?

    HELP! Need engine install in Florida - preferably a 6.2

    Did GEP make 6.2? I might be wrong, but I thought GEP was 6.5.

    12V Clarification / Question

    I didn’t know my spare tire needed two fuses. 🤪

    12V Clarification / Question

    No. If you have a 4 speed tranny you should be all set with what is on your rig.

    Something to read. Nice slides, HumV

    Don’t you mean “ fake” news. 🤪 Walter Cronkite is rolling in his grave. So is Edward R. Murrow.

    Broken fan

    You can always remove the broken fan and mount two pusher fans on top of the stack and then you’re safe to drive her home if home is less than 30 minutes away.

    APB FBI Stolen HMMWV Los Angeles

    I don’t understand. I thought this is what liberal America wants. No police. No bail. No consequences.

    Broken fan

    Cracked pieces can fly off and damage a $1k radiator.

    Broken fan

    I might not run that fan. I feel the blades will break off. The damage is mid blade in at least one and looks as if it has created a very weak point.

    Lots of Questions about 4L80E Swaps

    Sure, but I’d like to run a few thousand miles on it. I will tell you that if you get an inexperienced mechanic who does not know 700R4, and he hooks up the TV cable wrong, you will blow the tranny in a mile. RWH swears by 4L80E. You should talk to him as he seems to have it down to a science...
