I would replace the starter bolts as well. Make sure to use the gm bolts. Tighten the starter bracket also.

I say drive it 65. If you blow the engine and want to spend money on a new one, get a p400. I dont think that you will have any problems, as long as your harmonic balancer is good. I wouldnt do a gear swap as i think the 4.56's are a great feature.

Good buy Dont use ether on it again! It will cause engine damage.

Pics of the cave?

I've read that it is best to run the engines under a load to seat the rings with the cylinder. Maybe try loading up your truck with weight and then take it out for the first drive. I would even try to tow a trailer as often as possible. Minimal idle time is critical i believe in early engine...

Ill be there. Nothing better than playing in the snow when getting stuck doesnt matter! Least we could do a get together and bonfire/ cookout somewhere

I bought a rebuilt steering box from summit. Price was around 100 i think. I wish i had rebuilt mine, just so i knew what it looked like inside

I think that radiator might be small. I would watch water temps until you are sure it can cool the 6.2 under load. Otherwise good work and its almost there. Cant wait to hear how it drives

Haha thats funny But that truck has never been registered by me, i never drove it. Came that way from a p.o. And there are lots of civi vehicles with 6.2 diesels that are used on freeways like campers and some bread/box trucks. Also i rarely drive highway so, im not worried about the engine's...

In response to the original question. Diesel and oil are close to eachother. Oil has more btu's. Dump in in your tank. Start your vehicle The end

If it was b100 it could do a drastic cleaning to your fuel system. Watch your fuel lines for leaks and carry a spare filter around in case it loosens up any crud and clogs the filter

I like going 65 in my m1008. The engine is not going over rev. The only thing hurting from high speeds is the fuel tank, and my ears.:D

That wouldnt work with your starter, gas/diesel is different tooth The 700r4 uses 3 bolts, but i thought the were on a different circle than the 400 Wonder whats in there I replaced one over the weekend, its just a bunch of work nothing hard.

That has to be the luckiest plate ever :drool:

NV4500 all the way for best swap option. Ill drive at 65 in my truck stock. I like the noise :) Enjoy the right lane, its a completely different ride

That sucks One of the reasons im afraid of spacers I torque my wheels to 140 ftlbs

Nice truck, congratulations Id love to see more deuces in MA Have fun with the new vehicle.

Pulled the engine out Headgasket blew and the engine ran full of water. Had to get creative with the HF engine crane and various jacks Shopping for a Optimizer hopefully:razz: Possibly buying a blazer for scrap with a good 350, but i am not really interested in a gas truck Either way i want...

Put a tie down around the tire and crank it down till the bead is close. Then put air in, Just enough to hold the bead. Remove strap before the tire starts expanding.
