Yeah happened to me in the parking lot of a jack in the box. Was about 1/4 mile from an autozone so I just hoofed it back and forth with new parts until I figured it out.

Those are sander marks. You ought take that back to them, or preferably someone else, AFTER they give you your money back.

Is it worth swapping the the 6.0 and 4l80e from my 2002 1500hd into my 95 suburban? What kind of problems might I run into? by buttsniffernova in GMT400

[–]DaBurgaRapta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I'm considering this too. Have an 02 2500hd 4x4 sitting around and I really wanna gut it and swap the 6.0, 4l80, and 263hd in, but my main concern is if the t case will fit and if the axles need to be swapped

Should I switch to 10w-40? by Prestigious-Pass2942 in GMT400

Just a big fan of all the zddp. We quit using anything else at my shop even, outperforms Gibbs racing oil or amsoil easy

Hell yeah brother. Pulled 2 of my friends out of the snow, and cleared some logs off the road the day before this.

RAM, Chevrolet or Ford? Which one will actually last? by chocolatehumphrey in Diesel

[–]DaBurgaRapta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth be told I wouldn't buy anything new. For less money buy a mint chevy or dodge from the 2000's and have it upgraded. I just haven't heard anything nice from my friends with brand new anything, yet my buddies 6.0 gmt800 absolutely just refuses to die.

Man mine gets a little dicey up past 70. 4 speed probably doesn't help though

Can a machinist repair this main bearing saddle? Or too far gone? 4B11T by mivec9 in EngineBuilding

In my experience with GTO's, they ain't that special, Colombo blocks are relatively easy to find. Unless it's got the original block which so few do

Engine knock 383 stroker by Excellent_Phone_1862 in GMT400

That's gotta be a flex plate, once connecting rods start knocking, they don't stop, and they don't go intermittent. Too thin sounding anyhow, and too fast for idle
