Post in the parts Wanted. Im am sure someone has one out there.
Try Ebay and craigs list. Around here someone always has a parts truck or engine for sale.
Last year was REALLY bad. Someone burned up the water tankers tires, stole it and crash it in the woods. It was a huge mess.
I think if we talk to Pete we might get a night ride wednesday-thursday but I would not hold my breath for Friday and Saturday.
Haspin is a great time but it is the only...
When I have blown engines it has been at higher RPM and I have ALWAYS tossed a rod. I have never broken a crank at high RPMS only braking connecting rods.
I am thinking that lugging the engine would place WAY more stress on the crank then a high load and high RPMS.
When lugging the piston that...
I did not read the who post it was trollish...
You should use the correct heads.. 6.2 on a 6.2 and 6.5 on a 6.5. the difference in the turbo heads the the pre cups. on a non turbo engine they are a lot smaller and are made for low end and good MPG. The larger the cups the more power the engine...
No the Vin does not work that way.
Take a look at the TM section Im sure it will state what model and all the part numbers for the trans along with trouble shooting.

It has around $1500.00 in lift and tires. $3500-5000 is a good base price for a M1008.
You do have to remember it is a 30 year old Chevrolet pick up. You can buy early 2000's durmaxs 4X4 for as much as he is asking.
I have been out to Sliver lake a few times with my old Deuce. Airing down is a MUST and only using low range. I did have 900 duals and they worked just fine at 15 PSI. loose soil/sand EATS up horse power and the multi fuel is lacking to state it best. On flat ground your ok but if you hit a hill...
good advise on the cleaning Gunny. I have found that to be a issue many times with the Gen lights and all the other lights on the back of the dash.
30 years of oxidation will do that.
Yes I have and it works well... DO NOT move the axle. It does not work so well in the 09 with factory type steering. Just bolt in the block and new U bolts in the factory location.
If it is a GM5 it has a valve in the back of the exhaust casting. I bet it is stuck open.
Its called a wastegate. It is used to let excessive pressure out the exhaust and lower the intake pressure. Factory valves were set in the 10 PSI range.
