    Motor Blown? Options?

    Is there a exact block and transmission to look for? And what type of shop would do drive shaft modifications? I’m currently trying to keep the bill at or below $6k because that’s all the money I have.

    Motor Blown? Options?

    Reman and used are what I have been looking at. Been eyeballing a few junkyard engines but I feel they are a crap shoot. The truck is an automatic. Would prefer not switching to an gas engine. Love the sounds of a Cummins but like I said it’s an automatic not a 5 speed.

    Motor Blown? Options?

    2000 Chevy C3500 6.5L diesel The other day my motor made a bad noise then just shut down while climbing a hill. I was able to get it to restart in high idle after letting it sit for a bit but but it wouldn't stay running and sounded like ****. (wasn't overheated) Also the engine was showing no...

    What turbo to buy?

    I’ve been driving with a Seized up turbo for a while now and need to buy a new one before inspection at the end of the month. Problem I’m having is I’m not sure what to buy. there is one on Amazon for about $450 which is really tempting but a friends turbo exploded and burn his truck to the...

    Need help confirming something 2000 Chevy TD

    The MTR fixed some of my problems. So did the fluid and filter changes. Shifts better after the fluid change and strangely it started shifting 100% after the MTR was replace especially when driving in reverse. It used to bog down in reverse then blow some black smoke then lurch every once in a...

    Air conditioning to air compressor

    If all your doing is filling tires. I would recommend buying 1 or a couple of 12v compressors and a nice large tank. (Biggest you can fit or even multiple smaller ones the more Capacity the better) the key it to make sure your system is 100% air tight. here’s a photo of my compressors in a...

    the new Injection Timing stepper motor showed up the other day and I was able to install it yesterday. I will say it made a huge improvement. I thought the engine was running smooth before but now it's supper smooth and quiet. Truck feels like it has a lot more power now as well. Also weirdly I...

    C3500 interior light electrical.

    I was wondering if anyone happen to have a electrical diagram of the interior lights. the previous owner did a hack job on it and it’s causing me to scratch my head. the copper completely rotted out of almost every wire and just crumbled in my hands. I got all the bad wire removed and was...

    Need help confirming something 2000 Chevy TD

    I dug deep last night and was up until 3am working on my truck. took apart my air filter box to get a better look. Looks like there was a E clip that fell off. I didn’t like the look of the vacuum canister and I wanted to make sure this fixed it so I just tacked a washer onto the end just to...

    Need help confirming something 2000 Chevy TD

    Ok I started actually digging into my truck to start checking vacuum pressures. first thing I figure out is that I’m good on vacuum but the Vacuum solenoid thing (forget actual name) isn’t even attached to the waste gate. the piston pulls in but doesn’t pull the lever for the waste gate...

    What have your done with your interiors?

    that was one of the things I was pondering. would allow me to also use that silver stuff I've seen in a lot of photos and really cut down on road noise.

    What have your done with your interiors?

    I bought a 2000 Chevy with a completely destroyed interior and I’m wondering how to re-do it on a budget. The vinyl floor was all broken and the carpet padding under the vinyl was completely waterlogged causing the floor pans to start to rot out. Also every door handle was ripped completely off...

    Need help confirming something 2000 Chevy TD

    Ok here’s an update so the whine started the other day so I stopped and just looked around. Turns out there’s a leak on the low pressure side of the power steering and I was basically out of fluid. So the whine noise ended up being unrelated to the lack of power. I will be fixing the leak this...

    Need help confirming something 2000 Chevy TD

    Planning on doing all the filter and fluids. Have the trans filter coming in the mail. That will probably be next weeks project. I did the same thing with my E450 also an E4od but it just kept burning up the oil and even filling the cab with smoke. Ended up taking it to AAMCO who f***ed the...
