    Help - Distributor install questions (devil is in the details)

    If I can't get the oil pump shaft to align up. I drop the distributor in as far as it goes (proper alignment with #1) and instead of trying to fish something and turn the shaft, I bump the engine over. Dizzy drops down onto the shaft and my timing is still in time due to the camshaft and dizzy...

    High mileage motor thicker oil?

    I have been using the cheapest 10w30 and 10w40 I can find for the past 300k miles. Engine has 540k. Desperately needs to be pulled and rebuilt. But I'm running about 20 psi at warm idle and about 40-45 psi at freeway speeds. My factory guage reads higher, so I go off my aftermarket guage

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    It shouldn't have went out in less than 300 miles. That's sorry work they did. Plain and simple. Still gonna get the 94 trans rebuilt. Thinking putting it something like a early 50s chevy or a rat rod. I already have a stock rebuilt 305 out of a 92 c1500. Think that combo would work in a early...

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    I know it IS available, just super hard to get ahold of. The GM fluid is the correct fluid but we have a truck at work, been running Amsoil pulling a 33ft goose neck everyday. It's been running Amsoil for 5 or 6 years. Not a single issue.

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    1. Yes. Behind both the GM 6.5 and the Dodge Cummins. 96+ the GM nv4500 bellhousing to trans bolt pattern different. And the 95+ lost the super low 1st gear. 2. Amsoil claims they have oil specifically designed for the NV4500. Standard Transmission and Gear in Fort Worth Texas says that's what...

    Will 98 NV4500 fit a 94?

    For anyone who's following. Looks like so far, I need the 98 trans, the 98 bellhousing, and the clutch hydraulic line. Looks like GM used a standard style of fitting on the master cylinder and the slave cylinder. So it should drop right in. No more external slave but will have a internal...

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    Called them during my lunch break. Told them how I felt (kinda passive aggressive) and told them straight up that I was gonna sue them. They agreed to PayPal (friends and family) me the full amount that I paid plus the money for the Amsoil. Getting a recently rebuilt nv4500 from a 98 to go...

    Will 98 NV4500 fit a 94?

    Didn't know......GM kept their bellhousing bolt pattern the same across the board for the engine to bellhousing pattern. So I'm gonna grab the 6.5 bell housing and all the clutch stuff. It should work.

    Will 98 NV4500 fit a 94?

    Did confirm the 98 is a different bolt pattern on the bellhousing But. I can grab a 98 5.7 bell housing, convert everything over to hydraulic slave bearing instead of the arm and we should be golden. Gonna cost me about $400 but I should be able to get the truck back onto the road quick...

    Will 98 NV4500 fit a 94?

    Looks as if the bellhousing bolt pattern is a bit taller on the 98 than in the 94. Maybe I can drill the transmission to accept the older bolt pattern?

    Will 98 NV4500 fit a 94?

    I found a rebuilt trans. It's from a fire department brush truck. They are willing to let me do 8 hours of "community service" for the trade. Its out of a 98 c3500 with 6.5 with nv4500 (2wd) My truck is a 94 c2500 (8lug) with 5.7 came with NV4500 (2wd) from the factory I know the bell housing...

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    Unfortunately I paid with cash since they offered a 10% discount and free fluids and no shop fees with cash. Their defense is that its approved by Valvoline for the NV4500 and my stock TBI engine is too much torque for that transmission.

    NV4500 PLEASE use right fluid

    Had my transmission rebuilt by a respectable trans shop about 4 hours from my house. Well picked it up. They put in new bearings, seals, and synchros. Picked it up. Drove it back home. Felt great UNTIL when I was getting close to the house, I noticed that 3rd gear was getting clunky. Long...
