    Big tires on little axles

    the stock 09 axles will handle 33" tires no problem. If you go larger like around 38"s you will want the 60 and 14 bolt. Even with 35's you can get new grear and axle shafts for the 10 bolt and be ok. also if you want to run the hummer tires there 16.5 inch. going to the 8 lug opens the the door...

    Very High Oil Pressure.

    could be. There is a spring in there. ITs ez to change out. I would not worry about 90 PSI your not going to blow seals. seals hold back the oil while not under pressure.

    cucv questions

    the alt belts will make some squeaks when the glow plugs are on.... one its a huge load on the charging system and maxes out the alts when at idle. Injectors DO NOT BUY NEW ONES! just get the tips and rebuild them your self. If you can take the injector out you can put in a new set of tips...

    What are the pros and cons of the 6.2l diesel?

    snapon I think makes a timing light adapter for the diesel with hard lines but I dont mess with that. I just turn the pump (clockwise If I remember correct) 1/8-1/4 inch on the timing marks on the pump and block. A diesel is a litle more forgiving when it comes to setting the timing by ear. a...

    What are the pros and cons of the 6.2l diesel?

    ok guys.. here is the deal. #1 bump timing a bit #2 turn up fuel 1/6 of a turn #3 install new marine injector tips ($65 for all 8) and install new injector return lines ($25). The return lines dont give you power, just the factory ones will brake off. If you can change a spark plug you can...

    TH400 Transmission skips 2nd gear

    its not skipping.. its going in to and right in to 3rd. What is happening is the trans moduator is broken or getting full vaccum signal from the pump. Here is what you do, first replace the modulato on the passenger side of the trans. It cost about 12 bucks from autozone or whoever. If that does...

    What are the pros and cons of the 6.2l diesel?

    700 were junk for the first 4 years, after that there a good trans. If you get a rebuilt unit your safe. Ony thing is you need to get a trans that is set up for the diesel engine. DO NOT put in a gaser 700 and think its going to be perfect.

    transmission leak

    well #1. get a repaiar manual. its not worth fixing a cracked 400 case.. just get another one. A good used take out 400 is about $200 bucks or so. brakes.. take a look. check out all lines, rubber and hard. check for leeks everywhere. look at rear brakes. and go to step #1

    What are the pros and cons of the 6.2l diesel?

    you can get 200HP out a a 6.2 for about 100 bucks. if you get the gearing correct for what you are going to use it for a 6.2 is a stront engine. Now we are not talking a 454 here, but good power with good fuel milage.

    Changing Out Head Studs and Nuts?

    there not stretch bolts. you do not need to replace them. If you are doing headgaskets more then once I am betting you did NOT have the heads shaved and the valves reset in the head. Just replacing gaskets is not the way to do it, they will leak again.

    M1009 Starts great cold - hard to start warm

    that one is the the warrning light... the one in the front of the head. There should be a two pin sensor in the rear of the passanger side of the head. That one also controlls the glow plug card. here is the autozone # SU183 for the rear lower right side one. you have the top one already.
