07 Yukon For Sale
OMG, like I need another project! Got the 2 79 crew cabs, a 60 F250 4x4, and just picked up a 95 K2500 that needs a lot of TLC. Plus the XR250 with a leaky carb & Polaris 330 with a bad starter! I'd love to find a GMT900 3/4 ton duramax-swapped Burb, but the wife wants the new body style. -

1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock
If you didn't know this already, make sure the lifters & pushrods all go back in the same holes they came out of. Being a TBI, would it have a roller cam?- ByrdDog

87 v3500 6.2 engine replacement
If budget is a serious concern, I'd look to a big block or a 6.0 LS. You will not be happy with a small block or 5.3 in a 1 ton(ask me how I know). Injector pumps are crazy expensive for the 6.2, heads are prone to stress cracks; just a lot of stuff that can get expensive really quick, and all...- ByrdDog

1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock
If you wanted to completely rule out top end first, you can pull the intake & check the lifters & cam easy enough with the motor still in the truck. I've also pulled & replaced heads with the engine in the truck(on a 6.2 diesel, no less). All done outside in my driveway. If it's a 4x4(don't...- ByrdDog

1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock
Maybe stick a borescope into all the cylinders to check for damage? At least start eliminating possibilities. I think just trying to judge by the noise, you're going to get as many different opinions as people you ask.- ByrdDog

The Quest For Overdrive . . .
I had a 91 K1500 with the NV3500. The TBI 350 lasted over 300k. The trans had to be rebuilt twice in that time. Completely stock motor.- ByrdDog

255 vs 285 metric 33” tires on factory wheel
I just put a set of the Falken 255/85 MT's(E load rated) on my dually. I previously had 305/70's. Never any problems with the 305's except uneven wear due to being mounted on such a narrow rim(dually wheels are 16x6). Discount Tire wouldn't mount the 255's because they spec a minimum 6.5"...- ByrdDog

Want to swap my 6.2 hard to start
The only reason to ditch the diesel is if the hard start is due to low compression. I can maybe see it also if the injector pump is bad, as that is a pricey part.- ByrdDog

High back blazer buckets in a C10
I put buckets & a center console out of a suburban in my K30. Had to drill a couple additional holes in the floor & welded on nuts from the underside. Only kind of difficult part was making custom brackets to connect the front inner seat mounts to the floor. I guess the floor pan is different... -
1977 Black Truck Tan Interior???
My C30 is black with a tan interior. I think the look is great. I would not go black-on-black. Almost all new vehicles now have black interiors & I'm not a fan.
