    Continuous vacuum troubles

    I've always had vacuum issues with my 85, new pumps not lasting but a few months and old junkyard pumps lasting a year or better typically. I always start messing with the system come warm weather when the vents won't switch off defrost and the aftermarket heater valve won't suck closed. That's...

    Draw in gauge cluster

    I've had a draw in my 04 for some time, finally got to digging around in it today. I can narrow it down to the gauge cluster. I disconnected the grounds on both batteries, and placed a test light between the terminal and the disconnected ground on one of the batteries, then started pulling...

    A/C Compressor not engaging

    I've filled the truck with 134, there's power going through the pressure switch, and power on one wire at the compressor, ground at the other, and the clutch won't engage. Is this something I can maybe fix without evac'ing the system and starting over? I assume I can pull the clutch off the...

    clutch pedal from 85 into a 78?

    Will they bolt up, or work without a whole ton of headache? Or do I HAVE to find one from a 78 era? Doing a zf 5 speed into a 78 half ton with a 460. I have an 85 parts truck that I can pull the clutch pedal and all the mount from. If it'll work. Thanks. Chris.

    Door Striker troubles...

    I've ran into this previously...new door strikers from Napa, that the bushing seems too large. I replaced one today, and you can tell when you close and open the door, that the dogs on the door latch are dragging on the striker bushing. Anyone else had this trouble? Do you think my latch is...

    04 Horn Blows on it's own

    Lets start by saying I'm 2200 miles away from my truck, just looking for a little help or pointers before I get home. Got a call the other night from the landlords saying my horn was going off. They tried locking and unlocking the doors with the remote but it didn't help, so they ended up...

    New Motor

    Finally bit the bullet and bought a reman long block from a local company. After spending yesterday evening/night in the garage, as well as mostly all day today, getting parts cleaned up and swapped over, and naturally all painted up, it's sitting in the truck ready for the trans and everything...

    best place to buy a starter

    I searched the threads but couldn't find what I was looking for. Who was the online company everyone recommended for purchasing starters? They had them for like a hundred bucks or less if I remember right. I want to get one for my dads 96 psd before he returns home next week. Thanks Chris

    New motor, 6.9 or 7.3??

    I'm finally going to bite the bullet, instead of taking the time to rebuild one of my engines, I'm going to buy a rebuilt from a local rebuilder that I've dealt with many times before and trust. I can either go with a 6.9 or a 7.3, which would you choose and why? I tend to be kinda hard on my...

    Headbolts.com?

    Anyone buy from them? Head studs are a hundred bucks, seems decent. Anyone have better luck or better prices elsewhere? Thanks. Chris

    4.88's or 5.13's ??

    It's time to finally order gears, and I'm torn between 488's or 513's. I'd love having the 513's, but worry that it might be too much. I might go from 38's to 40's next tire purchase, so there again the 513's would be choice, but if I stick with 38's, would I rather stay with 488's? Any...

    P 0088, and a no start

    Couple weeks back I had the lift pump replaced in my 04, went with the dealer installed pump in the tank, due to lack of money, and it's still under warranty. Right at 800 miles, it started hesitating, and eventually stalling out. First thing I did was check the codes, got the P 0088. Not...

    Lift Pump Failed

    04 with an automatic, 66k, has run flawlessly since I've owned it (bought it in 06 with 18k) today, still running fine, just stopped running. Finally figured it was not getting fuel. Got the P0628 lift pump code. I do believe it's under warranty, so it's headed that direction the end of the...

    Thinking of selling

    I have a 94 2500 4wd with a 5 speed I'm thinking of getting rid of to put some cash in my pocket. It's a great runner, has near 240k. To my knowledge it has not had the KDP fixed, and is bone stock other than a straight pipe, and a leveling kit with some minor fender trimming at the rear...

    Fuel Tank Capacity, 94 2500

    Simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer on the net. How many gallons does it hold? The sender doesn't work, so I just fill it up once in a while, usually before 200 miles, and the most it's taken is 13 gallon. The sender is on the to fix list, but not until I pull the bed to...

    7.3 Rockers on a 6.9??

    I know someone has them, I'm curious if it's worth it, and how much room there is from valves to the piston. I do have a little higher lift cam, just not sure how much, or what the specs are. Thanks. Chris

    Slow staring

    Just picked up a 94 2500 with a 5 speed, 240k, to my knowledge it's bone stock, and all I've done since I bought it was change out the exhaust, and changed engine oil/filter and fuel filter. I've noticed it doesn't fire right off, it actually cranks a couple revolutions before it fires. In my...

    Need some bed side trim pieces

    Just painted my pickup (finally) and I should put some trim pieces on the bed so it matches the cab. It's set up for the wide (2.5") chrome with black insert molding on the lower side, and the .75 wide stainless trim on the upper side, all clipped in. I need everything for the bed and the...

    Cold air intake

    What brand of air intakes do you guys have? I ordered an S&B from a buddy of mine locally, and somehow ended up with a K&N. Not sure yet how I feel about it. I'm curious what others run, and if you noticed a significan drop in EGT's after putting one in. Thanks. Chris
