    What ate my front u joints? Dana 44

    Reading all these posts about grease. Something else that might be amiss. When You installed the new u-joints and got them all pressed into the shaft and retainers installed. did You center them in the shafts ? More U-Joints gets destroyed because people dont know about centering them.

    1985 6.2 Diesel vs Gas engine underhood wiring harness for conversion.

    Lift the current fuse block enough to release the fuse connectors/wires, set in the 454 block and plug back in what is applicable, use pigtails from the 454 chassis and add the new wires and just string onto those pigtails to complete the necessary circuits. Keep from having to unwrap and strip...

    1985 6.2 Diesel vs Gas engine underhood wiring harness for conversion.

    I`m watching this thread. Maybe a repair manual for the two units might show differences. I`m thinking more to the possibility that if the outside the firewall harnesses was changed that there would need to be some changing on the fuse panel side harness too, Being that there is a possibility...

    I could choke a GM engineer!

    Engineers should not have to mechanic at the dealerships, the mechanics in the non dealership shops should be the engineers. Them people that have to work in a everyday garage/shop situation and sometimes out on the road to repair equipment. Get some real goo mechanical experience in the...

    yep - finally got one! 87 V10 - long bed - 350 - auto

    Check those differential breather hoses. If that rear hose is busted at the differential, it will allow moisture and condensation to be pulled into the housing, right on top of the side gear bearing, I cant tell You how much fun that is to change.

    charcoal ingestion

    Just do a decarbon clean out of the engine. Get a jug of the stuff from the dealer and pour it through the carb and just perform the decarbon procedure. That way if there is any of them pellets hanging out in the cylinders it`ll blast and clean them out. If any of that crap is stuck to the...

    Headache rack ideas

    When mounting a rack onto the top rail of the box, do not use a short piece of steel to drill and bolt through to hold it down, that short piece of steel will tear up the top of the box. Use a full length of offset angle steel, note steel not iron, iron is a totally different form of metal. The...
