    May seem obvious but...

    The Duramax is a diesel design right from the get-go. Isuzu/GM partnership. The 6.2/6.5 are also diesel designs Detroit Diesel/GM partnership. The 5.7 diesel was the gas-conversion job.

    kali vultures.....sharpen your knives....

    I agree with Towcat. Titles are one thing, but keeping both the Title and the Vin tags??? Bet good beer that there is a lien on it and they're out to rape the lienholder (usually a bank).

    engine sleeves

    No, The B-series Cummins is a parent-bore engine. No sleeves/liners at all in it. If the bores are damaged, then they can be bored over and the appropriate oversize pistons and rings installed. The C-series and up are all sleeved engines. I beleive the IS* series of engines still stayed...

    IT WONT STOP SWEEKING please help!

    Also have you noticed if the hubs/drums are getting hot??? Im thinking that the brakes are hanging up and producing the squeek, however the drums/hubs should be on the hot side as well. If thats the case, the adjusters are too tight, back them out and readjust properly. With your hard...

    Cruising rpms

    Quick rule of thumb on diesels is that if you can't accelerate in the gear you're in, you're lugging it- drop a gear and kick up the rpms. 1200-1800 is the ideal (economic) cruise range IMHO for the 1st and 2nd Gen. 12-valves. The 2nd and 3rd gen. 24 valves are a different story, longer...

    Way off topic considering its a car, but I drive a Mustang with Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 winter tires on it, and I wouldnt drive anything else in the snow. Mine is an '06 with the V6 and traction control (manual tranny). Basically you have to be an idiot to put the car into the ditch. Does...

    53 block

    I remember reading a whole crap-load of information somewhere regarding just the 53 issue blocks. If I can find it again, I'll post the link. Basically Whitmore pretty much covered the high-points of the issue though! The issue never affected Mexican cast blocks but unfortunately, they are in...

    Getting a diesel in Washington DC

    As for the F40s.... they may look badass.... but they're loud as hell in the cab, ride rough, and usually hot inside too--- one of the quirks of full-cowl carbody style units. Although I'd probably take one of those over the GE toasters these days for better throttle response (F40 is an...

    CAT 3116 Anyone ever changed the injector pump?

    94 is correct.... I didnt even notice the model year on the truck. all modern day 3116s and 3126s are HUEI injected though, I think that change was in 97 or 98. the 3116 is a GM only engine. CAT got around that by making the 3126 model. (same thing, just a different model number) so...
