    Double DIN head unit questions

    In my case mine was hacked almost 2 decades ago for a single DIN, so much metalwork would have been needed to shift it left at all in my case. Second issue is at least the Double din I have requires an external bezel and even with a mounting kit...you won't have one. I made a mount out of...

    Double DIN head unit questions

    There is enough room under the heater controls to get it in on the flat part of the lower dash..but you will have to cut away that part of the bezel as it doesn't go low enough. No pictures yet but I'm in the final stages of this with a double DIN.

    Low coolant idiot light wiring question.

    Low coolant idiot light wiring question. Been searching on the net and can't find an answer. I have a 1987 GMC Sierra 2500 4X4, 6.2 diesel. The wire to the low coolant sensor managed to get wrapped around the steering shaft and ripped itself out of wherever it went and is no longer...

    '87 GMC V2500 Sierra 3.4 ton 4X4 Spindle problem.

    Update. Managed to get it off. Liberal ammounts of heat on the knuckle froma cutting torch rosebud and hitting it even harder than I was and it finally came off. THough I literally splintered to chunks of 2X4 before it ever started to budge (meaning I could see ANY gap forming). I still...

    '87 GMC V2500 Sierra 3.4 ton 4X4 Spindle problem.

    OK, posting this here after trying all afternoon to get a hold of a local buddy to pick his brain on WHY this is happening. I am in the middle of replacing ball joints on my GMC 3.4 ton 4X4 (corporate 10 bolt, w/ 8 ug hubs). Got the hub off, got the 6 nuts that hold the backing plate and...

    What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

    I get about 14 mpg on my V2500 GMC Sierra 4x4. 6.2 "J" code with TH400 and 4.10 gears with 33" tires. Considering changing the gears to something more highway friendly. I have a set of 3.72 gear and a set of 3.73 gears for the semifloater 14 bolt rear...would just have to buy a matching set...

    6.2 surging on off throttle deceleration

    I found the source of my problem above. The fuel pump I put on apparently had 14 PSI which is too high. I discovered through the help of others...that 9psi is the limit a Standyne DB2 can take before it screws with timing, advance and other stuff....and the sudden deceleration spiked that...

    6.2 tweeks

    It was called a Banks Stinger. Included a new larger snorkel to modify the airbox, adapter and hose for a cold air inlet from the right of the radiator through the core support, Y pipe and exhaust system and EGT gauge. Don't know if they still make it, because I put mine on well over a...

    6.2 surging on off throttle deceleration

    Here's my question, been searching for days without finding anything similar. Truck starts and runs well, fairly decent idle occasional hiccup, no smoke. this started after sorting out an air infiltration issue with rubber hoses and old fuel filter. At least I started noticing it then. Runs...

    swapping in a standard trans?

    Bumping this up since I've been looking too and not finding ANYTHING out there. Or much info of what else could be made to work. NV4500 swap is cheaper than a 4L80 swap...though I can live with the TH400 if I must. 4.10 gears and 32" tires makes for lousy highway driving when you are getting...
