Oil Priming on L31 Vortec
I like to leave the pre-luber in place when installing the engine so I can't damage the distributor cap. I run the pre-luber with the air drill while I spin the engine over slowly with the alternator nut 2 full revolutions and then put the distributor in after.- Frank Enstein

Worst OBS mods
Frank has the Dodge "Elephant Ears" tow mirrors. They are always in Trailer Deploy Mode because Frank's got a big butt. Sucks going through the ATM but if the mirrors fit the fenders will too even when folded in. When I switch the doors out they are going right back on!- Frank Enstein

Anyone need a 6.5 TD for free?
I am parting out my 94 C2500 Suburban 6.5 TD. I'm stripping parts for Frank my 92 K3500. The engine quit running several years ago. I believe the computer lost it's mind.

White smoke on startup
It is normal for an engine to send out a bit of steam out the tailpipe @ cold start. You may be seeing it because you are looking for it now and weren't before.

Fuel Gauge way past Full - How to test wiring at tank?
The gas gauge is inaccurate by design. It stays @ full longer than it should. So when the truck is new it stays on full too long so you think you are getting better fuel economy than you do.
