    6.7 Cummins Suburban Build

    Why is the grid heater not hooked up? That really helps too for cold starting.

    I totally agree with Jeremy. We were introduced to Dave Ramsey about 15 years ago. Sold vehicles, took an extra job driving school bus, quit eating out, and just hammered on paying off debt. Took about 5 years to get out of all the debt other than the mortgage and knocked out the mortgage 3...

    My mom had a 1982 (I think) 750 CSR back when I was a kid in the mid '80's. I looked basically just like that one! Haven't seen one of those in a long time. My dad had a 1980 750 LTD.

    Want to build a good horsepower, good fuel economy engine for a 1978 c20 with stock 350. I don't know much and need help.

    Torque is your friend in a pickup. A good RV cam, properly tuned Qjet carb, and a good tune-up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires) would be things to look into. More than likely if your engine is stock, it probably has dished pistons. Flat top pistons and/or heads with smaller combustion chambers can...

    @PrairieDrifter were you the guy looking for a manual tilt column?

    What do you suppose this TPI setup is worth? The seller says pre-87 and that he doesn’t have the computer or any wiring harness.

    10 bolt vs 12 bolt G80’s

    I have heard many horror stories of the 10 bolt G80 “Gov-bomb” problems. Is the 12 bolt G80 any better?

    1991 GMT 400 odometer quit

    The little motor that drives the numbers was burned out, so $20 used EBay replacement is on the way.

    They used to sell them at Home of Economy in Minot, but haven’t seen them in years. Wonder who used to make them?

    1991 GMT 400 odometer quit

    So the pickup is a ‘90 K2500 6.2 diesel that originally came with the half moon gauges. I wanted a tach, so I found a ‘91 diesel tach cluster with the needle gauges. Had to re-pin since Chevy decided to change the pin out for the plug from ‘90 to 91. 92 and up have a totally different plug...

    1991 GMT 400 odometer quit

    Does anyone know if there is someone who can repair a 91 GMT gauge cluster (diesel with tachometer)? The odometer in my cluster isn’t working, but all the other gauges work.

    14 bolt question

    If it is a full float 14 bolt, then it is not original to that burb. 3/4 ton burbs of that vintage would have came with a 14 bolt semi float.
