Especially check the rubber lines that attach the steel lines along the frame and check the rubber line to the fuel pump on the engine. Sometimes, especially when the weather turns cooler, the vacuum in the tank from the cooling fuel will pull the fuel in the lines back. Provided the check valve...
As above, the K30 w/ 6.2 diesel is correct for pretty much everything except the alternators and the transfer case, but I doubt you're buying parts for the t-case.
Check the NSN and GVW on the data plate and hope nobody did any fancy axle switching. The overload springs are your best bet. It's a lot of work to put those on another truck. The rest of the spring pack is the same.
Well, I wasn't feeling "knocked", and I sure ain't wealthy. I've got nothing but 6.2's, turbo'd and not...
And, don't forget, those deuces will be worth more soon enough...
Doubtful that any truck is coming out with only 2500 miles. Probably 102,500, but there's plenty of life left in it, if it was maintained well. Find someone who can cut you a key from theirs. Or, you can search here and find the code to give to a Chevy dealer to get one cut. I hope no criminal...
Get a new one built. The can use your ends and just weld them into a new shaft. It'll probably cost $150 or so. I think the only one that is a true direct bolt-in will come from a mid-80's 3/4-ton 4x4 with a 14-bolt full floater, like is in the M1008. Usually, big-block (or perhaps diesel)...
The dually has the heavier Dana 70HD, but the frame and springs are the same. The Payload of the dually is 4000# (including crew - uniform distribution).
I think he's talking about the thick gunk that orms on the inside of engines sometimes. If the engine gets idled a lot and never heated up, it can appear milky brown.
I've gone in the Rt. 32 gate several times with my pickup and car trailer to pick up stuff. Those guys don't care if you are commercial, as long as you have an ID, registration and insurance card. I was just there a couple of months ago and that's how I went in.
I'll be there Wednesday...
RE: Re: RE: Radiator?
Get a diesel radiator if you want the oil cooler and tranny cooler lines to line be useful. $350-$500 new at most parts houses.
The gassers usually have the tranny cooler lines on the passenger side and no oil cooler fittings.
Cost... 40,000 more NP-205's would have driven the contract cost up significantly.
GM had a much better supply system for the 208, since it was used in the 1/2 and 3/4-ton trucks, production of which far out-numbered 1-ton production.
