    lower rad hose 5.7 motor 41 "(overall width) rad. can't find proper hose

    That will do upper and lower hoses. If you just need the lower SUM-390036, SUM-390024, and SUM-390012 are single hoses the last two numbers are the included hose length.

    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. When I'm done stripping it you can have what's left. The trans and rear end are gone and I'm keeping the turbo. So it...

    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. Like Shurkey said oil smoke is generally blueish. That could be valve stem seals on the exhaust side. If you pull the spark plugs...

    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. The pivot point is too high and the lever arm is way too short. Here is how to fix it; You need an ohm...

    Transmission not shifting/clutch not disengaging

    I replaced my master/slave on Frank in 30 minutes from beginning to end and couldn't believe how well it went together. And it was pre-bled too! @ Summit Racing LUK-CRS015

    Led reverse flood light “Bumper Install” 28$ Bargain

    The factory backup lights are a signaling light to be seen not to see by. If you are in a city they are probably fine as is. Maybe some white LED's to brighten them up a bit. But if you are out in the sticks some added lumens via some LED spotlights can do wonders. My mother in law lives out in...

    Cam Setup For L31 350 Vortec

    After you have chosen your cam get the recommended springs, retainers, and locks for that cam. The recommended parts have been tested and proven to work together. Get a quote for machining the heads vs. purchasing new heads. You might be surprised at the difference. My rule of thumb for...

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    I was going to recommend the 8800. I would put it in on a 108 ICL like your test showed too!

    Hey Guys I Need Help Quick

    Easy enough to check for a worn timing chain. 1) Remove the distributor cap. 2) Rotate the engine by hand clockwise until the timing marks line up on 0. You can cheat by turning the engine over with the alternator nut. 3) Mark where the rotor is pointing so you can see when it moves a...

    Hey Guys I Need Help Quick

    Worn timing chain? Check the timing. If it fluctuates it is likely the chain.

    Frame interchange help needed please: 1995 C2500 Suburban 7.4
