    Found this on eBay for my 6.2 guys!

    Found this 382 page service manual on eBay specifically for our motors. For $25 it looks like a great investment for the guys like me who work on their own trucks. He prints them when they sell so he has a virtually unlimited supply. eBay item number: 223070579437

    Long cranking issue

    There are times with my 6.2 when it takes about 5+ of slow counting seconds of cranking before it actually starts. I feel like the engine actually starts faster when it’s cold than when the motor is already warm. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? There are also times when I “key on”...

    Clanking sounds from rear wheel

    I have a sound coming from my rear passenger side wheel only. Sound goes away as soon as I get over 5ish MPH. - Happens only while “rolling” at under 5MPH. - Sounds like a rotational metallic “clank” every time the wheel comes around mixed with a twisting spring creak kind of noise. -...

    Grant Walnut Wood Steering Wheel

    $90 OR BEST OFFER! Free shipping in the US. Its a Grant walnut steering wheel. Chrome has some pitting/scratching but would clean up nice with some elbow grease and chrome polish. Wood is in great shape, real solid no cracks. Roughly 13” diameter if I remember right, and 4.5” deep. Not sure...

    Do I need both batteries?

    Probably dumb questions but I’ve also never owned a diesel before. Does my truck actually need both batteries? Why are there two to begin with?

    Wood steering wheel

    I really want to swap mine out on my 86 C20 for a wooden one. Anyone got pics of theirs, or recommendations? Also, how do I know what wheels will fit my steering column? Is there certain spacing or bolt patterns I need to look for? Thanks in advance!

    Convert cargo light to third brake light

    Anyone converted their cargo light to a third brake light? Almost been rear ended twice now because of idiots not paying attention. And I’m sure it doesn’t help that there’s only the two tail lights which are rather dim.

    Trans fluid change

    Auto Trans is shifting a bit hard only into and out of first gear. Is there a write up for changing the fluid on these? I assume I might as well drop the pan and change the gasket too, should I use only RTV or the actual gasket?

    Buzzer for headlights

    I keep leaving the damn running lights/headlights on when I get out of the truck. Is there a way to wire up a buzzer? Or do I already have one that isn’t working??

    Tire size question

    The truck currently 215/85/16 tires. Can I upgrade to 235/85/16’s on the stock wheels without any fitment issues?

    Oil leak

    It's the 6.2 Diesel - I'm slowly fixing stuff since I just bought the truck. Noticed an oil leak on the driveway but cant quite figure out where its coming from. Any ideas? Oil pan is wet also, but gasket seam appears to be "OK" but maybe a bit wet on rear seam portion. Sort of looks like one...

    LED headlights

    Anyone have experience with LED headlights on these trucks? I imagine the bulbs are just plug and play but didn’t know if they would fit clearance wise with these headlights. There’s also the drop in 4”x6” led housings which might be a better idea. I’ve had HID’s on many cars before but I...

    No start after fuel filter change

    I have the NAPA 3123 spin on fuel filter. Just replaced it and now the truck won’t start. How do I bleed the air out of the system and prime it? There is a nipple on the bottom of the fuel filter. I read a few threads but don’t have an air compressor or hand pump.

    License plate lights don’t work

    Just bought the truck, and someone hacked up the rear wiring to install trailer plug/harness. All rear lights work just fine (brake/turn/reverse) except I have no license plate lights. Does anyone know what wire from the front of the truck runs to those lights? Or can I just tap into in the...

    6.2L Belt Replacement

    All three belts are just about shot. Anyone have info or a “how to” on the belt replacement? Also, part numbers for the belts needed? Looking at RockAuto and there are a million different options. I do have A/C.

    Flywheel cover replacement

    Hello guys, just bought an 86 C20 with the 6.2L diesel. Its automatic but I'm not sure what transmission I have. The flywheel housing cover is missing. #1 - Anyone know where I can find a replacement? #2 - Is there some sort of gasket for it also? Or just direct bolt on AS IS. Thanks!

    Bought an 86 C20 Detroit Diesel!

    Hello all, just purchase my first ever square body and first ever diesel! It's a 1986 C20 2WD with the 6.2L diesel motor. Odometer says 64,000 but I am not sure if their original miles or not. Body is super solid but has some small rust, pretty damn clean compared to most that I've seen! I hope...
