6.2 were never meant to be tow monsters they were designed to be fuel savers. My 99 6.5 is slow as **** but she gets the job done a still makes money. You want more power put a Cummins in it like I did (way more powerful then the turd 6.2) or just drop a 350 or 454 in it. Your going to spend...
Internet facts are always a mystery but I think you misunderstood what I was tell him I told him to find a clutch/brake pedal "assembly" not a trans that's what I was telling him find a pedal from a 73-87 truck not transmission.

Half the the site I seen say 91 and 92 also 93, so agree to disagree
after driving on the highway at 65 it's maxed out in Rpms , some thinking and research I conclude that the th400 is going out and a 4l80e that came out from my 99 3500 which I replaced with a good gm rebuild I go from junking a dually. I think all the trans needs is a rebuild It would start...
I know these old 70s and 80s c/k are getting hard to find these days as the years go by, usually when I get a chance to go to a junk yard and see one I grab what I can and stock extra parts just in case. I bet it's hard for you up north them things probably returned to the earth years ago. It's...
With metal modification anything will fit. I bet if you find one from a 73-87 c/k truck I bet it will bolt up. 93 are different body's but like I said before with metal modification it Will work, swaps require reengineering and modification to get the job done if you don't want to use correct...
Well I messed with the afc housing on the pump and got it to deliver more fuel with low boost and man what a difference, Cummins must have detuned thes things for the gearing and fuel economy for the vans. I also have a junk th400 I robbed the governor off of it and grinder on the wieghts and it...

Time for a update after almost two years of starting this project the motor finally sitting in the frame. So far I only made one mistake and welded the plate for the motor mount on the crossmember on the wrong side and thatsnthe only part of the welding I did that looked really really good so I...
Never thought of sleeves in the holes that would totally relieve the stress off the frame thanks for the idea!!!! I seen them online too there pretty cheap and inexpensive for the plate and bracket. This one pretty bad I can turn the colum by hand and watch the fram twist.
Been busy and tried, 3 trucks in one week to work on AFTER my work hours!!!!! Still disassembling then engine on the 3rd freaking intertrashionals!!!!!! So updates are going to be slow. I hacked away at the cross member little by little some in the garage and some at the welding shop at my work...
I thought of a remote relocation adaptor but this one was free so I'm going to see how this one works and if I don't like it I'm going with a remote plate. An 1000 would be nice but hard to find a wrecked Dmax around my area. I could pick up a 4l80e easier and cheaper then a 1000 plus I already...
