    NP203 and TH400

    The TH 350 and 700R4 is a 27 spline output. The 400 is 32 splines.

    87 700r4 lock up issues

    I went through this nonsense with a stock 700R4 in my military K30 that the previous owner swapped into it. The 6.2 quickly ate that transmission alive. I put the hated Monster 700R4 in it and deleted the controller. It would randomly hunt up and down, upshifting and downshifting, and yes the...

    94-GMC 350 Made gas mileage Less By changes?

    9.8 and 11.6 on the highway? That's ridiculous.

    Well crap

    Exactly.

    Well crap

    As long as you took your time and methodically put it together I wouldn't worry about it. I've heard some horror stories about well known engine rebuilders on Jegs and Summit. Personally I would go with a Chevy performance engine above all .

    Well crap

    Who rebuilt it, the guy you bought it from? It should have built some oil pressure within seconds of firing it off.

    Well crap

    I'd go for it if the crank looks good. Definitely use assembly lube and not just engine oil when you replace the bearings. That damage could have been caused by a dry start, improperly installing the bearings, or failure to torque the caps properly.

    DISC BRAKE COVERSION

    I did the conversion on my M1008/K30 and there was no way the disc conversion out weighs the gigantic drums on that truck.

    Is the check engine light on? You essentially removed the catalytic converter.

    88 suburban nasty fuel tank

    I would just get a new tank and straps if you need them, otherwise dump a box of Calgon dishwasher detergent in it and let it work for a day or two. Calgon is the recommended detergent to flush the cooling system on 2 stroke Detroit Diesels. It will more than likely clean up your gas tank.

    Gas truck to diesel

    You will need to plumb up fuel lines, get a spin on fuel filter housing and change the radiator to a 3 core diesel type from that era. The 6.2 will have a vacuum pump, you will need to connect the vacuum line from it to your transmission modulator valve assuming it's a TH400. It's pretty simple...

    700r4 locked up in gear.

    Unless that is a built to the hilt, I would strongly suggest against running the **** out of it. Those transmissions in stock form didn't take likely to being beaten.

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    That engine really isn't worth putting money into. Does it have excessive blow by? I would question the claimed milage also. I have been in heavy construction all my life and believe me, any quarry truck I have ever seen had the crap beat out of it. I would find out good running engine and just...
