You can still get 6 bolt stock converters at any transmission supply place like this one: http://www.txchange.com/

yes, that is correct.

On a 15" wheel you are correct, but on a 16.5" wheel he will not have any problems with brake clearance.

Those wheels are aftermarket and will fit fine.

The "garage" is the only free forum on ck5 and you can't post pics/links until you reach 15 posts due to spammers. Plenty of useful info and good help in that forum. Another site is www.krazyk5.com, much smaller and a group of guys that mostly know each other well. Sometimes the name calling...

You have three options in the 3.something to 1 ratio 10 bolts. 3.07, 3.42, or 3.73. None of them will be all that great with 35" tires and an automatic transmission. Without OD 4.56 gears and 35" tires would be ok up to 65 mph. You can go faster than that, but it just gets louder and sucks down...

The NP208 is a weaker tcase than the NP241. Smaller chain and higher low range gear set. 2.61:1 in the NP208 vs 2.71:1 in the NP241. There are slip yoke eliminator kits available for the NP241 as well.

I'd rather find a '91 suburban or 1 ton with a 4L80E behind the 6.2L as a donor. I haven't had any luck with having 700R4's being built. But I work my trucks within the factory load limit too.

I know all small block gas motors use 3 bolts and all 6.2L diesels use 6. Not sure about big blocks, but they could have 6 as well. The stall speed is lower on a diesel converter than a gas version, but I have run a diesel transmission behind a 350 gas motor and could not tell the difference...

I've had a crank snap on a 6.2L and it made a horrific metal grinding noise that sounded like a transmission going out. Do you get the noise when in park at idle? Or only when driving/trying to drive? Put it up on 4 jackstands and start turning everything over by hand. The NP208 tcase does...

I've seen many flexplates fail, but never heard of the torque converter bolts going. Did you install a diesel torque converter with 6 bolts or a gas version with 3 bolts?

I've been driving around the last two weeks in this snow and ice without a problem. Been through a lot of crap with 3/4 ton axles and 37" tires. Half of the time driver skill will be more important than how well your rig is setup. The other half is knowing your limitations to avoid getting...

The front axle is a bolt in, the rear will require moving the spring perches. The front bumper and brush guard are also a bolt on for '81-91 K5's, but anything before '84 may not have all the holes drilled. I put CUCV bumpers on my '83, but I have a few more holes to drill before I can use the...

Glad the wiring worked for you. There may be some differences depending on the year, but in my '83 K20 the overall length of the 700/208 was the same as the CUCV TH400/208 that I put in. So I didn't have to change driveshafts (but I also had the donor driveshafts if I ended up needing them)...

If you keep your original driveshafts, the u-joints stay the same ;)

When I pulled the 700R4/NP208 and put in the round pattern TH400/NP208 I used the original driveshafts from my truck. They are the same length overall and use the same driveshafts for the same chassis length.

Yes, you need to change both axles. I only have the one set, but that is $200+ less you would have to spend on gears if you re-gear. My set is loose already so I'd be willing to ship it down to you, have you re-gear, then ship back your old gears when your done. Although I just remembered your...

I have some good used 3.73 gears for the rear axle that i would trade you for your 4.56 set. It is a good compromise between towing and highway gearing. 3.07's are not available for a 14FF though. The rare 3.23 gears are highest you will find. 3.73, 4.10 and 4.56 are the most common ratios from...
