    Detroit Diesel!

    For as many of the 8.2 Detroit motors that are in just about every school bus and medium duty trucks that they’re in you’d think GM would have engineered a beefier block, who knows way above our pay grade stay safe Bucket

    Detroit Diesel!

    We had a number of the 8.2 GM fuel pinchers in a some bobtail and stake body trucks where I worked in the 80’s and 90’s they were prone to backfires and when they did it would shear the pin for the camshaft gear and the cam bearings would spin and the 8.2’s blocks are non-serviceable meaning you...

    Most Hated- That's the rumor.

    I love em, although years ago when my son was touring colleges, his friend which I knew pretty well decided to give the horns on his tricked out Yukon a blow and within seconds he got a ticket for the local noise ordinance, I talked to him after and he said it was worth it, he scared the sh!t...

    fuel venting

    I understand the whole process but just wanted to ask if you just added the charcoal inside the glass filter housing around the center threaded with the filter screen inside or is there something I might be missing because the center that the filter ends screw onto doesn’t leave a lot of room...

    Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.

    I agree with Grit dog, had a work truck with a service body on it and the only way I could put fuel in it because of the modifications was to drive on a wood block under the rear wheel, got a lot of crazy looks at the gas station but got it done

    Towed mine with my 2021 Toyota Tundra from Garden City, Kansas back to south Louisiana, 800 plus miles one way, I rented a U-Haul car hauler for 3 days and went and got it no problems whatsoever, don’t think you’ll have any problems with a 3/4 ton truck Good luck to you

    Wing Windows

    I have to agree with SquareRoot on this one, a few good hard plastic push tools and some slippery lube and it’s done, just take your time and get your mind right, and the setting tape from LMC is too thick, I got mine from Precision good luck on your project and hope everyone has a great Easter
