The plates inside the convertor are seperating

Good afternoon everyone. I am tired of replacing the torque convertor in my 1009 every few years, and I am wondering if there is a upgraded version that can be used on a 6.2 Thanks in advance for the help

Thanks Warthog

I have read the previous threads on manual glow plug switch hook ups. But I have two questions before I hook it up the wrong way and fry my truck. One: does the light blue wire stay connected to the glow plug relay, or does it just get disconnected. Two: does the other wire coming from the...

At the beach with my 1009

skyjacker makes a pretty good spring for 80's model chevy trucks, and there soft ride springs are little easier on the bumps than most springs.

Years ago I mounted a allison 545 in a suburban and backed it up with a divorced np205. There were a few things that need to be addressed as far as the tranny is concerned. One is vibration: when you install the tranny you will need to fab a new cross member which will require new rubber...

Thanks Warthog I will roger that

OH Yeah, you will have to get the seat belts out of what ever truck you decide to go with

I went to local junk yard, and found some seats out of a f350 super duty for a 150 bucks, and installed them myself. I think they look pretty good.
