https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-head-gasket-head-or-change-engine-survey.137671/page-5#lg=post-1741453&slide=5 Check out my little project from back in 2015. I was just going to change the head gaskets and well I went wild. Had fun for a few years and sold it so someone else could...

That shifter seal is often over looked. I had the seal remover and the installer but haven't been able to find it. I was successful in using a pick to remove it and a deep socket to install it. Good Luck. I hope you changed the dipstick grommet.

Trash the hood and possibly the door. What does the inside bottom edge of the door look like? The rocker you should cut all that out and weld a replacement in there. Gluing over the rusty one will just add more aggressive rust. Rust never sleeps. NEVER. And so steel item is truly rustproofed...

How about in the upper corners where the bezel attaches? And is it 1 metal base piece. This matters. I like the USA.

No gasket. Just take your time and put everything back the way it belongs. No short cuts or half fast tricks. Good Luck. I will be here waiting for a report. Have a question? Please ask no question is bad except the ones you don't ask and break something. Doing it right the first time is the...

BINGO. I never seen that when I installed them. I guess I wasn't looking. But today I was getting some tools for raking leaves and the light hit it just right and I see it. That picture was taken the night I installed the doors. I was very upset today when I seen it. I thought how it could have...

The correct parts will fix almost every problem almost every time. Good Job. I knew it was the 3 bolts that had you messed up. I am sure it wobbled before, and the wobble is what chewed the teeth off.

Do you see what I see?

The OEM 6.2 diesels and gas engines were SAE standard all the way up to the old cab V/R cab chassis, Suburban and K5 Jimmy and Blazer models. GM used standard body bolts and metric and standard power train bolts all the way up to the new 1988 cab. That was a very confusing era when it came to...

I left that attached to Terminus M1009 when I sold it. It was a site to see the dancing that went on at Rausch Creek while I was wheeling. Today I was raking leaves and looking for parts. These parts look like brand new after being stored in the barn for 20+ years. Happy Holidays.

No, I am sorry. The bolts that bolt a bellhousing to the block of the stock 6.2 are 3/8 - 16 SAE. That may not be the case on that fancy new engine you have but I am 100% positive I have used a 9/16" swivel impact socket since the 70's to remove any transmissions in GM truck up to the 1991 R & V...

I think you are ready to go. I completed this job on a lift and on the ground. Either way you don't need to remove the transmission to do the job. Just 4" long 3/8" bolts and slide it all back and replace everything. I changed over a 100 of them. The hardest part I encountered over the years was...

That video was not very helpful. But Thank You anyway. The real issue I always encounter is the corners of the dash pad where the 2 upper cluster face/bezel corners attach. On the OEM one there was a hole in the tin, and you could clip the Tinnerman's nut on the edge and it fit like it was...

Basically, it was a piece of 3/4" plywood with 4 sides that the transmission pan sat inside of. I would strap the transmission fast to it and place it on my floor jack and jack it up in place. Outside I used plywood on the ground and inside the cement floor to roll it back and forth. I just put...

I myself had Dogs all my life. Now I have Cats. I never want to go thru the loss of another furry Child. My best buddy fur baby in the world passed away and I fear of the next one could outlive me. The Dog would not know how to handle that and would think I abandon it. Cats??? Well, they don't...

OK. Getting back to my statement about the friction between the head lamp buckets and the core support. When the trucks were new there was white lithium grease on the core support at the 3 raised contact pads that are designed and formed into the support. The headlamp buckets were smooth and...

Most times the adjusters are not the issue. It is the rusty coarse radiator support and headlamp buckets. The springs fit in the corner of the buckets, I advise against LMC replacement buckets they will not fit.

I would want to look at one and make sure it has 1 piece metal/ tin backing. It looks good. I paid $600. for an unbroken OEM one a few years back. I only need 2 more to retire. Thank you.

Yea my plywood and board homemade holder complete with ratchet strap works great on my Snap-On floor jack. I feared asking the Snap-On man the cost of a transmission jack. and that was in 1990. Most times I was in the dirt and just pressed the transmission back up in place. I can't do that...

When I worked at the GM dealer back in the day, we were the PA state vehicle supplier for many of the state and municipal vehicles along with PA turnpike, PA lottery vehicles and countless police state and local. Back then the state highway was using the C/K 30 vehicles with the 6.2 diesel. We...
