    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    I have plenty I can tell in the close 40 plus years I have been wrenching on stuff, and some of you are telling your best (worse) screw ups. I don’t know if I’ve peaked yet though. That’s like asking me what the dumbest thing is that I have done. I never cease to amaze myself sometimes. One...

    Supporting the little guy

    We’ve got a little one man shop in McComb, MS called McComb’s Auto Electric about like thinger2 mentioned above. If he goes in a starter or alternator, he rebuilds it all, and usually much cheaper that the box store’s lowest end part. David, the owner, is good people too.

    TBI, Vortec, 6.5…. or LS?

    If they cut the frame to install a Cummins in a GMT 400, it was a not a quality job. It is tight, but can be done on both 2 and 4wd with no frame cutting or body lift. Did enough on both that I designed and made my own mounts. The 73-87 the frame ahead of the engine crossmember needs notched...

    TBI, Vortec, 6.5…. or LS?

    If it were mine, I’d find a good Gen6 block and rebuild, but install a better cam (the factory cam in these was “lazy”), a better set of injectors (poor design) and update the ecm to an 0411 with a good tune, and you’d be surprised at the difference.

    Ext Cab to Crew Conversion Question

    Welcome to the forum. I was in your area of Alabama just a few weeks ago. If you need measurements or mount info, I’ve got a bare crew cab k3500 frame that I can get them from. Good luck with your project.

    Frame issues

    Wasn’t so far away, i have a crew cab 4wd frame with front suspension, i’ll let go for a very reasonable price. Its a fair bit of work, and are/know a good welder, you could find a good 3/4 or 1t 4wd frame you and remove the front section and weld on your frame. The front section slides in-and...

    4l80E Low on Fluid

    A few of the builders that specialize in the 4L80 recommend remarking your dipstick to show full 1/4 inch above where the pan bolts to the case.

    4L60E Online Order Recs?

    If you don’t mind driving a few hours, I can recommend someone on the Mississippi coast or in Columbia, TN, if you can’t find a reputable builder closer

    1994 2500 8-lug 4x4 transmissions

    Back about 92-early 93, went with my brother to look at a very clean, 1 old man owner 85 C10. Not a scratch, interior looked new, low miles, garage kept from day one. Very very reasonably priced. Test drove it and found out why it was still sitting there- it surged bad after it warmed up...
