    School me please

    And regarding WMO in a 6.2L, there is a lot of recent discussion on the dieselplace.com forum (look under the 6.2/6.5 category). I've had to replace some parts for routine maintenance--rear axle seal, brakes, brake master cylinder, muffler-back exhaust, headlight. I've not noticed too...

    Military CUCV 1008 Info

    I think the CUCV series appeared in 1984, but you can check online. Gear ratio in the axles was 4.56:1. Many came with a Gov-Lok locker. You can search that too, for more information about it. I think the transfer case was the NP 208, married/attached. Not many Chevrolet/GMC vehicles came...

    '89 Suburban R1500 brake question

    My brake pedal is showing symptoms of a leaking brake system (soft pedal). Concerned that perhaps a wheel cylinder or front disk caliper had failed, I pulled the tires/wheels and see nothing but clean dry components. I popped the hood and see that my brake MC is weeping from the bottom...

    Dead Electrical

    Well I figured it out. Followed the wires as Towcat suggested, and found several down by the starter. None appeared to be burned. I then followed the wires to the solenoid on the firewall, and none appeared to be burned. Figuring I had nothing to lose (and since I don't have a meter to...

    Dead Electrical

    no, nothing electrical works. An early thought was that possibly the older battery died and shorted the newer (post by "doc" 25 JAN 2007). But I think my problem is in wires/fuse/circuit breaker. I don't have a digital meter, but have a test light. each battery (tested separate) has...

    Dead Electrical

    Been driving the 6.2 Suburban for a while and its been a pleasure. Had a starting issue this week that has me scratching my head. Cranked to start one morning and didn't fire on the first crank, which is typical. Allowed GP to cycle again, and when light went off, I cranked again and got a...

    '89 Suburban back on the road

    Finally got around to doing the maintenance required to pass the state safety inspection and getting this hoss registered. I had to replace the axle seals and rear brakes--a task that got seriously delayed following knee surgery earlier this Spring. Putting the plates on the bumpers is...

    In what vehicles/when was the 700r4 K case used?

    I'm a little late to reply but since I was looking at this today... My 1989 Suburban R1500 has the K case 700R; I don't know when they started using them on "light" trucks but it's there. My RPO code is "MD8" for TRANSMISSION, AUTO 4 SPD, THM 700 R4.

    Ford ranger with a mercedes 300TD?

    been a few weeks since you posted the question, but the best example of an MB diesel swap is on the 4BTswaps forum. The guy's username is "someone" and he put an MB turbo-diesel into a 4Runner and used a home-fabbed plate and paid a little to get the flywheel machined and a bearing machined in...
