    1995 6.5L in VAN vs 1994 6.5L TD in PICKUP

    Okay, I might have the opportunity to obtain another 94 pickup w/ a 6.5L TD (wrecked front end). I have a buddy w/ a GMC van that needs a 6.5L diesel. I am told that the vans had NO electronics (just mechanical injection) and were not turbo at all (not till the 6.6L). So, here is my...

    Radiator Leak: Q's on "Stop Leak" & SCA/DCA compatibility

    Well, lady luck is not on my side. Just got it back from having a new water pump, fan clutch & upper/lower rad hoses installed a week ago on my 1990 E-350 van. Now, when I got home yesterday, I find a puddle under the radiator when I walked by. Further looking shows a leak in the cooling fin...

    Okay, a buddy has an Isuzu diesel that he says he pulled from a Chevy car- a Chevell or Chevet I think forgot. But it is an Isuzu diesel backed by an automatic tranny.

    What could be wrong.....OR is there anything wrong?

    This weekend, I went to go look at a 1994 van w/ a 7.3L IDI. It was for a friend who wanted a cargo van. Any how, we passed up on it since seller wanted $6450 (162K miles)- crazy, KBB says it's only worth $3800 or so. It was extended, XLT, power mirrors, AC.... 3.55 axle ratio (brought the...

    Under drive idea

    I've been toying w/ an idea. And I wanted to run it through here to see what people think.... yes it is a costly idea.... Have a 99 PS E350 extended Club Wagon w/ a 3.55 ratio. Most say 3.55 isn't good for much towing (at least heavy and hills) and the tranny will pay it there is heavy...

    1990 E350: Fuel leak

    1990 E350 Club Wagon.... I have a "mysterious" fuel leak. I haven't pulled the dog house yet, but the leak seems to be coming down the right front area of the engine (near fuel pump). Peaking through the hood, I can see traces of 'wet', but can't tell where the source is. At idle, I don't...
