I would replace that relay if it has already tried to weld the contacts together!

You may not be getting a good seal between the new heater core and the housing. Therefore the air is not going thru the core but around it. You can add high density weatherstrip foam to get a better seal. Your new aluminum core should produce more heat.

In Thanks a lot Chris! Wishing you the best in this venture!

Look at a Kat's Heaters Thermostatically controlled tank heater # KH13150. 120 volt- 1500 watt. These have been used for a long time on tractors and trucks.

Try Hillbilly Wizard.

Did you make sure the torque convertor is fully seated into the transmission? If it does not seat fully into the front pump you will have problems mating engine back to transmission. Do not force them together and start the engine! You will have to do it again and work on transmission!

Wow! I can not get parts within the USA in 5 days sometimes. USPS will haul them all over the country until they figure out where they go! Some parts I never get! UPS can lose parts too! This does not happen all the time, but it does happen.

Change the front transmission seal while it is easy access.

You have the wrong torque convertor! It must have the six mounting pads on a 6.2 diesel. Squibbly just went thru this on his rig.

In southern states kerosene was not always available. Therefore truckers did add gasoline to prevent gelling when colder weather than normal showed its face.

The hardened non greaseable u-joints will outlast the cheaper greaseable ones at least 2-1 or more is my experience. The cross is a lot stouter without the hole drilled for the zerk too. If yours have the originals there is your answer for sure!

Truckers used to add 10% gasoline to high sulphur diesel with no problems. I would not recommend that with ULSD. I use Power Service in my diesel year around. Use Arctic formula in the winter time. Use double rate if operating below zero to prevent gelling.

Have you tried soaking it with all of the magic stuff? I like John Deere multi purpose spray lube. It penetrates and lubes.

There may not be anything loose but it is corroded and rusty. Take it apart and clean everything up with wire brush and penetrating oil or some kind of solvent until rust is gone. Check wires for green buildup inside the connectors. When everything is clean put it back together with dielectric...

I want to recommend installing a new pair of the correct starter bolts!

Correct on the smaller drilled hole. This hole gives proper alignment for the flex plate to the TC.

Tip. Always install first bolt into TC in elongated hole in flex plate. The hole is elongated from the ring gear towards the center where it bolts to crank. It is located about 4:30 o'clock in your last picture.

Heavy duty applications and diesels had the 6 pad torque convertor. I would think yours has been changed to the three pad at some point

Put some never seize on the crank too.

The rubber in a GM balancer is thicker and better rubber to dampen vibration than the Dorman. If you plan on running it a long time spend the money on the GM. The rubber in a balancer will deteriorate with age whether it is driven or not.
