    I completely understand lol. I have yet to remove the harmonic balancer nut and dive in but I'm already dreading it.

    okay. I've been looking for reviews on their stuff as its pretty decently priced through amazon. The needle bearing set is $46 through allstate I've noticed.

    Also an update on my trans situation, I pulled the trans Sunday afternoon and fought it for a while. the input shaft snout is worn so I'll be picking up a new input shaft and pilot bearing and am pricing clutch kits, slaves, etc for while I'm in there. All the gear teeth appear to be in great...

    Who are you sourcing your rebuild kit through? Riverside gear and Torqueking along with Allstate and some amazon suppliers show the full rebuilds in stock along with being able to find the needle bearings on amazon. amp brand i think. Allstate lists several individual parts for the trans as in...

    98 k2500 4x4 nv4500 problems

    Well that's not bad. I've been looking at evilbay parts and also Amazon carries the fluid. There's also a guy I talked with today a few hours away that said he only used koyo or timken bearings and charges 1200 for a rebuild with a core. It's tempting but I'm going to set on it for a while and...

    98 k2500 nv4500 350 to 454 swap opinions

    sorry for the lack of info, with closing on the new house and now the transmission issues I dropped the fun projects for the time being

    Where'd you buy the parts? I like how torqueking has pretty much everything but the guy on the phone highly recommended using redline mt85 fluid and that goes against everything I've heard or read.

    Hey everybody, hope you had a great 4th and weekend! Wife and I managed to get to get the bulk of our things moved over the weekend about 400 miles from southern Illinois to southern Iowa. Had 35 totes in the bed of the Chevy and she drove the accord. Added a bit of air to the bags on the 2500...

    1986 Ram 150 4x4 V8

    Love that era of dodge trucks. Grandpa had a 86 d250 that I drove to the pond to go fishing several times while he ran the pedals. Nostalgic of course but pretty solid trucks. Watch for vacuum leaks around the throttle blade shaft and of course wiring. Following because it's cheaper to live...

    95 K2500 454/NV4500 slow restoration

    When i was changing the fluid on my nv4500 a year ago, it was pretty difficult to find the actual fluid. Both dodge and gm had their specific part numbers for the fluid. I ended up calling a couple of GM dealerships with the part number (GM Fluid (12346190) 75W-85 GL-4 Synthetic Manual...

    LS vs. Vortec

    They were still running that warehouse when I was there so sometime after 2016 I'd guess. Sad to hear about that. Never cared for management but it was still an American product at that time.

    LS vs. Vortec

    I used to work there from 2014-2016. welded a bunch of the k&n nuts on cans and ran the drain-back/bypass valve machines along with e-core welders. Also dealt with the big hydraulic and fuel filters, never made it over to the air filter side unfortunately. Most of the filters were still made...

    Vortec 5.7 stumbles and backfires without giving and check engine codes

    I know you said your fuel pressure was fine, just wanted to chime in that the symptoms sound like they're mimicking the ones i had when my fuel pressure regulator went out. I didn't ever get the opportunity to test the pressure but after a new maf, plugs, wires, temp sender, I dug back into the...

    Hey everyone, been running the 5.7 in my 98 k2500 with the nv4500 and 4.10 gears for a while now. Upgraded to the mpfi spider from the poppet style among just random things here and there. Graduated college, got a job over in Southern Iowa and finally started the house buying process so a lot of...
