Good luck with them. I hate to say it but the 17" rim is really where its at for tire selection without looking too big in rim diameter. I was 16.5 for almost a decade. Then just called it quits and had a ton of Ford 16s from the 90's which I like the utility look. Plus both the CUCV and Burb...

The 16.5 is really no longer supported. I would think a lot before committing to them. There are only a handful of treads offered and they are $$$. If you plan on military takeoffs be prepared for cracks and them running square. Dont get me wrong I loved my MT look but they suck in every other...

Yeah I don't know about you but a nicely reman'd injection pump makes me happy inside. Congratulations on your parts store experience. In general, the parts you get amd the help you recieved is going to be a shiny turd when you go to a big box auto parts. I have found that Napa or similar is...

Yeah and inconsistent sizing leaves you at the end of the adjustment after the belts break in. You end up going to a size shorter and rolling it on. I agree, Gates are probably the industry standard for automotive. I have transitioned to now using a thin layer of rtv on both sides of a paper...

Ac Delco 43254 is what fits the 6.2 engine. Looks hard to find, I'd go to Delphi as a second one up. Why wouldn't use anything but the OEM part? Correct answer...glow plugs. Do not use Wellman. Other then that, use OEM. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Haha Yeah made and works is about as good as it gets. It won't be NOS but its the same part the dealer puts in the box that says Chevrolet and hands it over the counter at triple the price though. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Looks like the thermostat is available on Amazon. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

You gamble with all of it but personally I'd rather buy OEM or same brand as original supplier. It should be made by AC Delco. Deal breaker, probably not. I have almost ten years on thermostat amd lift pump woth no issues which is nice. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

I'd probably only put genuine Delco thermostat or lift pump in there. You are already committed timewise, why not put a better quality part in for not a lot more money. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Nice work! 4L80 is cake, even more so with a 208 tcase. Moving the crossmember, shift linkage, and tcase linkage is just redrilling and extending rods. No rocket science. Controller is pretty simple. Hardest part is choking dowm the cost of a TPS sensor for the DB2 pump. This is way easier...

Yeah new trucks are cool because dealerships amd extended warranties are so thorough [emoji848] You do realize that for like $4-5k you could put an LS, transmission with one or two overdrives, and have AC right? Thats like a a gear vendors overdrive and a driveshaft refit cost. I understand...

Yeah add some tall gears to an underpowered engine and numb transmission. Why not drag an anchor while you are at it. Sure the TH400 is beefy in stock form and yes the 700r4 when new sucked. Just like every new transmission, it has its teething years. Glad the OP is tackling the job, good for...

700r4 is great for the ratios, lower first and taller overdrive. Also no electronics. Downsides it is a 700r4 so if heavy duty use is in the picture better spend the money on the hard parts. 4L80 is essentially a TH400 with an oerdrive so gears will be the same except that it will click into...

You can do your own homework but the gear vendors leaves a lot to be desired considering how much money it costs. Your best bet if you are strapped for money is larger tires. If you have the money for a transmission then a 4L80 or 6L80 is a much better choice. Of course for that money you can...

IP replacement should run 4 maybe 5 hours. Anymore and they are robbing you. They are simple as lomg as you line the timing mark up you are golden. Biggest issue is not dropping the three bolts down the timing cover. No pressure! I did a flexplate by gettimg longer bellhousing bolts. Swap them...
