I agree with verifying compression bit it doesn't make sense that the engine stumbles worse when you individually open the injector lines. This indicates each cylinder is contributing power. Very weird! If you have gone through compression tests and are positive the fuel delivery is good, I...

Idle speed set too low? Are your Gen lights coming on? This will happen if you rpms drop too low. If this is not the case, you probably have a fuel delivery/IP issue.

Wouldn't hurt to measure how deep the TQ sits in compared to the bellhousing mounting surface. Then make sure that is deeper than how far the flexplate sticks off the back of the engine. Regardless of what setup you are working on, this is always the surefire safe way to proceed.

I like how on the website they are proud to NOT be a certified Bosch dealer. No mention of being Stanadyne certified either. I wouldn't spend a dime with them, looks like another fleabay store. I like how when I went to my local authorized shop, they have all ofthe special equipment, I had a few...

What vintage 5.9L are you swapping? The older models are one wire only to run. You could run a civvy Chevy cluster and use the sending units on the Cummins. Your idea works but I would be prepared to do alot of wiring. Not the difficulty level, but I'm sure a lot will need to be shortened or...

I completely understand your point. I think a red indicator LED would be a nice addition above the switch to say when e solenoid is on is a good idea to for my setup. My goal isto be able to bypass the card in case of failure or turn the GP solenoid off if I have the key on and have no...

I plan on taking the ground control for the GP solenoid at the controller card and splicing in a switch. I am going to use one with a momentary on, off, and on position. This will give me GP bypass manual control, no GP's, and normal modes. That way you can keep the key on without the GP's on.

Just the axles are worth it. The rest is all gravy!!! Good score!

I wasn't aware of the fluid already having additives in it. The BG product I used had seperate bottles of detergents and additives. I would be very cautious with some off branded universal magic ATF.

You owe me a beer! Although it sounds like you had way to much fun cleaning the rod...pun intended. Glad you got the ol' TH400 squared away. Have to live the old iron...so simple to fix.

Flushing with fresh fluid will not break up anything inside the trans. It is the heavy detergent the dealer sells as a 'flush' will do the damage you describe. I've performed many flushes on old rigs and even personal cars without ill effect if A) the correct fluid is used B) no detergents...

I agree, some type of resolution would have helped out the people searching these types of threads. There was an awful lot of "what not to do" in this scenario. No one should be burning out starters trying to bleed fuel systems. Even with the stock pump and box filter, you should not need any...

How do you have no fuel at the injectors but yet it runs fine? If this is an intermittent no start regardless of temperature and time I would assume you have an IP solenoid starting to fail.

I don't think flushing the trans with fresh Dexron III will hurt it. Just swapping fluids out. I would ABSOLUTELY stay away from flushing it and having a shop sell you on the heavy cleaning detergents and additives. Just tell the shop only ATF goes in...keep the magic in bottle potions for...

Looks like you are having way too much fun!

Why wait when you can watch the Suburban go across the river...I love the internet :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bQQIy5TKZE&list=PLEF6FC8B925024280

Could be a governor sticking like it's spinning up. May be a stuck 1-2 shift valve in the valve body. I would highly recommend running through a trouble shooting chart. One, triple check the fluid level. I would invest in a set of pressure gauges to see what your governor and throttle pressures...

Looks awesome...makes me want to build one! As far as the overheating or running hot goes, check to make sure your mechanical fan shroud is all there. Check to see if the mechanical clutch is working too when it heats up. A little bit of slippage will be bad with hot days and A/C heat load...

I remember my vocational instructor showing me this almost 15 years ago. Back then it was very old but it still remains a classic I use in class...
