    Diesel Injection Pump

    I have a 6.5 NA diesel. I am halfway through putting a turbo on it. I am at the point of turning up the fuel screw. I know it’s supposed to be turned 1/4 turn for turbo application. However one of the three bolts that holds the top cover on has snapped off. Does this cover hold much pressure in...

    6.5 turbo swap with a/c

    I have an 86 k10 with a 6.5 n/a diesel in it. I want to put an hx35 turbo on, I got almost everything needed to do the swap, but doesn’t look like it will fit with the a/c box on the firewall. I would like to keep the a/c and don’t plan on going too far in depth into this. If anyone has any...

    Bell housing not fitting right?

    I have a 6.5 diesel swapped into a squarebody and currently trying to install a sm465 behind it. I got the transmission from marketplace so not sure what year (was told it was 70’s) or what motor it was behind. I have a brand new flywheel and clutch all on the motor already and I went to put the...

    6.2 diesel fuel filter

    I have a 6.2 diesel that has already had the fuel filter swapped to a spin-on type. Is there any way to get something so I still have my wires hooked up like the box filter? Also I have another with the box style yet and I think it leaks some. Is there a common place to check for leaks and can...

    Manual transmission swap

    I have a 1986 D30 with 6.2-th400-np208. I have an 80’s sm465-np208, and a 70’s sm465-np205. I plan to use the 205 t-case. But is there any differences between the transmissions being 70’s vs 80’s? Is one better/stronger than the other? Slightly different gear ratios? I had already bought a...

    Hx40 turbo on 6.2

    I have a 86 6.2 n/a and just bought a 6.5TD to use the intake and exhaust manifolds to turbo the 6.2. I bought a hx40 turbo said it was off a 24V Cummins. I will need an electric lift pump as the oil drain goes where mechanical lift pump is. Anyone know what pump I should use? FASS and Airdog...

    Transfer case

    I have a 1986 K30 with 6.2 diesel and th400 transmission. I believe it has a np208 transfer case but I am wanting to put a np205 in it. Mostly because it’s heavier duty and I would like to twin stick it as well. Are they the same bolt pattern to the transmission? Same spline count? Length? If...

    86 6.2 diesel crank no start

    I’ve just bought 1986 K30 CUCV with the 6.2 Diesel in it. It’s really low mileage, only 20k original, I bought it from a local fire dept. it has a new or rebuilt injection pump, and glow plugs look fairly new from the outside. It has been a little cold around here lately, (only as low as about...

    Floor center hump

    I have a 1989 R3500. 4 spd, 2wd. I am wanting to do a 4x4 conversion, will I need to put in a high hump tunnel? Honestly not exactly sure if it is low or high now, it has pto and a dump bed, controls are on the hump so maybe it’s already high jump. I’m not a big fan of body lifts either.

    What problems will I have when installing a 6 inch lift?

    I have a 1987 V20 long bed and considering 4 or 6 inch lift. I know for a 6 I will for sure need longer brake lines and raised steering arm, but will I also have driveshaft problems? Being too short or too much angle? I won’t be doing much off-roading and such but I will still be using 4x4...
