The turbocharged 6.2 just plain ran out of power and couldn't even spin the tires at the end, Did he pull in high range or low?

Ask the glass 'guy', around here they used to carry em in the service truck and cost was cheap.

$254 is a nice chunk of money but really not that bad for that radiator. A few years ago I bought a new aluminum/plastic one from the place I worked list was about $400! IIRC I think I paid 2something (wholesale) so I think you did fine.

Not really sure what your asking, but the oil lines will also get flushed out when(if) the dip the rad. What I'd do before installing it would be to blow out the oil lines with compressed air. Don't try to fill them up with 120PSI!! just blow em out and make sure there's no foreign objects

An inch is HUGE!! All frame measurements now are in millimeters and + or - 3mm is pretty much standard but some cars now are 1mm. I would first check that wheel base again, don't try to go to the center of the hub with a tape measure just go from the wheel lip to wheel lip. I know it's not going...

That one click sure sounds like a bad connection somewhere like battery,cables ect. Start at the battery terminal itself with a test light (better to use a volt meter) and just start looking for current or the lack of it.

Same here! I'm very happy with my 700R4 conversion and it cost ALOT LESS than $3000! I bet I only have $1000 into it and that includes the rebuild and a new frt shaft. BTW I tow a single place car hauler fairly often and plow snow in the winter and never had a problem.

I would never bother with the CARC again, just not worth the PIA factor. Way to hot in the summer, snow won't slide off it very well in the winter and bird sh-t sticks ect ect. I sprayed over OD camo with S.W.desert tan and it looked good but took for ever to dry! I just stripped almost all...

Yeah , so have I. Just as long as both are GOOD batteries. The starter is kinda stupid, it doesn't know the difference between a 1000CCA and 900CCA heck it doesn't even know the difference between top post and side post!

Is that like sending the 'new guy' for a can of squelch for the radio , or the key to the impact area?

I painted mine, that was easy the hard part will be figureing out how to post a pic. :) I'll start putting it back together in the AM. Paint is a new(er) version of Imron, just 2 coats and clean the gun, I like it!

I just rebuilt one of mine and I don't remember (from years ago) haveing to let the brushes 'break in'. But with that being said thats exactly what happened! IIRC the alt light was on and I thought I screwed something up inside the alternator, I had to move the truck and "gassed" it a little and...

I was going to suggest two things. #1 the over charge maybe a bad regulater in #1 alt. #2 The belt wearing out seem like a pully out of line, Not just 'needing a shim' forward, more like the alt. is tilted and causing the belt to wear on one side and get thinner and that allows it to ride...

I see why that truck cost so much, it came with a JACK! And a HANDLE!! WOW! I had almost forgotten what they looked like. Nice truck! If you go with the mech. pump do NOT buy the cheap $20 one! I don't care if they warrenty them for life, Who wants to change them every 6-12 months? Go with an...

If I ever had a truck/battery that needed to have a charger or "plugged in" every four days (or after sitting 4 day) I would either FIX the problem or sell the truck! My current truck has the military batts that came with it. Last time I had them out (1yr maybe 2 yrs.) they were dated something...

I hope you don't need it, but GOOD LUCK! Sounds like you have a plan and a good grasp on what to do if a problem pops up, so you shouldn't have any problems. :)

:jumpin:Sure beats that $1800 rebuild!!!

OK, glad to hear that they did have the info on the PSI. As far as GM building them to last 100K, I'd better tell my son! After all that 6.2 I gave him had about 400,000 on it when I pulled it out and it was just starting puff oil smoke. It used a lot but that was cause the oil pan had a hole...

Glad you got her going, I was going to suggest a new lift pump if the filter didn't fix it.

I rotated my tires and added a set of cheepie driveing lights. Went and picked up some soil for the garden and then sat back and enjoyed the day!
