Jake; Thanks for your very informative post. I've been fooling with timing the 6.2 for as long as it has been in existence. What I do is to time the warm engine by feel & ear as you describe, and then run it down the road and back. There is definitely a sweet spot of power and economy, which...
I believe he may have the split intake manifold which requires two hoses from the CDR . One hose hits the intake throat on the same side as the valve and the other snakes around and hits the throat on the driver's side. The 6.5 intakes are open-plane and therefore only needs one hose.
I'm...
John at Hillbilly Wizard has all that stuff. No sense in trying to reinvent the wheel. Just get good replacement hoses and slap 'em on.

Yeah I have. It seems to be what you need with the 0.70 final gearing of the 700R4 and 40" tires. I had them in my 1985 K30 civi truck when I ran my 11.00-20 NDT's back in the 1990's. The gears were taken out and the originals were put back in when I sold the truck and wanted to keep my 20"...
Thanks for your post and the information. However it would be helpful to post the source and part numbers for the pulley's and shims you used for those SS members who might want to duplicate your exercise. I don't need the info, as my pulleys are already aligned. But some of the junior...
If you are going to Moab, you would be wise to install a GM14020856 NP208 support rod, that is, if you haven't already. You can pick up the bolts at a John Deere dealer, they are M16, but I can't remember the length.
I purchased the Thodio .50 Cal Ammo Box speaker. Outstanding sound quality and power. It lays on the hump behind the TC lever. Bluetooth streaming from my iPhone. .50 CAL A-BOX™ The Original Ammo Can Boombox New 2023 | Thodio
My OEM filter and base have never given me a problem, so until it/they do, I'll stick with the factory stuff.
So I'll certainly purchase a couple rebuild kits if available. Count me in.
Guys, the easiest thing to do is simply to install a diverter valve in the floor between the tanks to select which tank the fuel pump sucks from. I've already done this and wouldn't have it any other way. There are three outlets on the tank - the largest (3/8") on one side is the suction, the...
I would like to suggest a couple things:
GM removed the rear brake proportional valve in 1988. See GM Bulletin 88-320-5. 88-320-5 Chevrolet Technical Service Bulletin (tsbsearch.com)
Secondly, your oil fill cap needs to be vented in order for the crankcase vent to work properly.
Just my...
Thanks for posting. It seems I may be an idiot too. With all the time, energy, and money I have been pouring into my P400 / 765R4 / NP241 drivetrain build, I haven't even considered the size and quality of the coolant overflow system. I even purchased a new high-dollar radiator and new poly...
Yeah it's my daughter's inheritance, but I still need mama's blessing :p !
I just now ordered the ammo boom box with Bluetooth and USB charging port. I will post photos and a review here when it arrives.
