Might as well paint your valve covers while you're in there.

A quart of house brand chainsaw oil per about 20 gallons of fuel keeps my injector pump happy and the pump lets me know when the fuel gets too dry. Starts bogging and surging. Anybody running marine two stroke in their Stanadyne? Looking to buy cheap lubricity in bulk. Still haven't figured...

I bet that's nice. Using OE TH400? MPG report when you get it all sorted out.

Really, you've just got to use an abrasive that's harder than gasket material, but softer than the cylinder head. I'm not afraid to use steel bristle wire brushes on iron, but I wouldn't use a steel bristle rotary tool. Brass wheels wear out fast, but they shouldn't hurt anything. The DIY thing...

You'll make it not flat.

Hope your heads aren't cracked. Use an HVAC inspection kit. Spray the mating surfaces with florescent penetrant dye and look at them under a black light with the glasses to make sure it's just the gasket. If they're not bad, you can resurface them at home with a heavy pane of glass covered in...

Did mine last year. Copper spray is the ticket. No more coolant "smoke".

Looks like a cheerful cartoon character. I always thought LED replacement bulbs clashed with the OEM turn signals, so I went looking for something to remedy that after I saw your photos this morning. Using the GM part number as a search reference, I came up with a discontinued Amazon listing. I...

Is your starter bracket missing?

Good to hear. I had checked obituaries.

I'd sure like to see a clip of that thing running. I can't imagine what a blown Detroit will sound like.

If it were me, I'd exchange the pump and eat the shipping. The lessons best learned are the ones that sting.

It's to my understanding that a reverse flow pump can be mounted on the NA 6.2. Otherwise, I don't know how people have managed to convert them to serpentine drive belts. For all the bits and pieces you'd need to do that swap, you'd be best served having a complete serpentine Detroit Diesel to...

Home Depot sells 2.5 gallons of Rotella T4 for $40. They're delivering four Fram PH5 filters to my porch for $20, same day delivery. That makes for $18 oil changes. They give 10% off on everything for veterans in case anybody didn't know. Lowes too, but I don't use their website because it's a...

Does RGB light bar mean what it sounds like? Off road disco roller rink floodlight? I didn't know that existed. Sounds ridiculous and I might want one for myself.

Went looking for cottontails, jackrabbits, and rattlers today. Rabbit scat here and there, but no rabbits. Empty burrows. No luck. Climbing the hills, I was so preoccupied with keeping the rubber side down, I did not notice the elevation gain until I looked behind me and took in the kind of view...

Long time, no see, Rick. Hope you're doing okay.

Pretty sure this is what you're looking for: https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/acc,1915340,flooring,1264 I've got one in good shape, but you're awful far away. Only ever installed the back half. I yanked it out because it was trapping water. If you order one from Rock Auto, paste this into the...

Another peculiarity to my truck is that the IP timing is extremely advanced, but the Warhorses guys will tell you that you have to do that with a HMMWV pump on a NA 6.2 anyway because it's the wrong pump. For me, it was the right pump because it was new in box for $700. If you start feeling like...

Just whatever you do, don't let a welder tell you it's a diesel, so you don't need mufflers. I mean unless you want people two miles away to think you have a big block.
