I have 3 pc impacts and they work great. Also have the 1/2 which serves me well to and what I used to setup the H1 wheels.

What about this "Camp fire" in California...and the lost town, Paradise? Prayers all around for those folks.
I know it has been a long drought, but I wonder what negative effect tree huggers may have had to encourage such a savage burn. Not cutting trees, protecting habitat and so forth...??
It is basically forest mismanagement for decades.
link to a good article describing what has happened over the years. It was a study for the Sierra Nevada's but applicable to all of California and many parts elsewhere.

I was fishing up there last year with all the kids, just tragic! Yes it is an management issue with the state and feds, private lands seem to get taken care of just fine. PGE screwed the pooch by not shutting the lines down. Now they are getting the blame when last time they got in trouble for turning it off! As of now they are asking for funds only or gift cards as goods are overflowing, thank GOD. Bad new is over 40 are dead so far with over 200 still missing. Most the fatality's were in cars trying to get out or in their homes it is moving that fast. About 100 miles from here, but it is hazy as can be with bad air quality almost 200 often.

Going with a lift down near the tank. That boss is the turbo drain.

That is sure some great looking country back there Dave. That tops it off nice.
Is you state like ours, little blue patches telling the rest what to do.

Found a wire on the engine top and hooked it up the oil pressure sender, worked great. Had over 40psi at idle.
While digging, found I have a 6.2, not an issue but still want to ID the block.
Put a pressure gauge on the intake, only 4psi so far. Should be 10-12, needs to be addressed for sure.

Bet you had a big smile on using that drill (until murphy) as you have probably dug more than I have by hand.
Will the cover be big enough to set logs up using the tractors?

No EGR on this, but it does have a funny oil vent system pre-turbo. I do want the other items though so maybe it will not go. I kinda liked how they have it on the 6.2 though, cam driven. Did an oil change, fuel filter and lots of additive today. Made a mess  Lost prime to the motor (lift pump up top) and used pressure to get it going. I ordered a new lift pump for this from summit that is a pass through. Will run it with a relay also as stock they are driven via just a pressure switch. New window moldings/felts ordered too. Bent a few lines to clear other things too, lots of little things I see to make it solid. Need a real air cleaner I can carry over the 6BT also, this setup is a joke, but it only gets cold air. And look at the battery setup! Tested the Oil pressure sender and it seems to work, but I question the location both for it and the turbo oil. Traced the sender wire and it was only 3 inches long,,,,,,,,,,,, Now the turbo feed is 45* rotated towards the firewall and the drain is 180 from that. Pretty sure that is not optimal at least for the drain. Looks like it can remedied but how critical is it? I may have to remove the turbo anyway for the air cleaner and intake leak. Also noticed a chunk out of the balancer which I hear is common and bad news?

I that pic above it has the waste gate mode and no AC (probably a 90s truck.
Just uses a spring on the WG vs a vacuum canister and you can dump the belt drive pump for it as that is all it runs!

The drivers side crosses over the the rear of the turbo side, then it all mixes and some goes to the turbo.
It is only pushing 10psi also. Some will see 12. The Banks manifold is nice but too pricey for this. If I was keeping the motor I would redo the system, stud the motor and have some fun. It runds good so going to add a few gauge and clean some stuff up is all. Been doing lots of reading, just glad I got the 100hp setup.

I gave it up last night and brought it home. Today I started to clean it up and found out a little more.
99% sure after blowing it off I have a 92-93 6.5TD. Ran the pump numbers and came up with that. It is a mechanical pump, no PMD (problem)
Also looks to be a 200hp version, which is near the top of the heap. Has a few wiring issues, not a surprise really.
The stock lift pump is up above the motor, after the stock filter/heater which could account for hard starting.

Yep, he used spray foam to reseat the bead. Held air for a week so I drove it.
6.5 iirc, do the numbers help?

Think it was a gasser too with that IC.
I bet the wheels were more than my new sub.

it will be fun adding AC back if you decide to do that!
Oh I am! None of the wiring is cut but the rear unit is gone. Need to add a dryer (cut line) and block the rear lines that are cut off in the cab.

Got everything for a fluid change today and found it has a swaybar disconnect.
Need to match up the black wheels and get a couple more tires. They will get swapped to spartan 1 for its sale.
Check out how they sealed the tires on the front. Now I need to figure what turbo I have.

Hey so a shout out to my dad for preparing me...
so I procrastinated putting my license plate bumper mount on when he was around and he isn’t here at the moment so I had to do it all by myself and I did it just fine and I knew what tools to use as well so thank you dad.

« on: November 08, 2018, 09:04:23 PM »
The PMD controls the fuel solenoid. They mounted the critter in the valley on the pump!
The air cleaner on this looks like an intercooler at first. Turbo drain is running into the fuel pump block and comes off the turbo at about 45* angle vs on the bottom.
Hard to get good pictures when EVRYTHING is black.

Moms back in the hospital so not much done.
Did find out the door locks work, well 3 of em. First thing is to get the windows working so I can lock it up.
Doesn't leak bad at all, yet. Need a boost gauge and figure out the system it has. Still wondering why the clamp is there?

Has anything happened besides foam stuck on Don's hands?

« on: November 08, 2018, 10:19:13 AM »
Actually, it moves around pretty well. No jerk you up torque, but it did 65 easy all the way home and moved well with foot pressure. It does have a little surge when driving, like the TC is unlocking.
It will get cleaned up and then a fluid change. I may address a few small things in the motor but the idea is a solid runner and clean ride.
Will clean up today and really see what motor I have so I can address the PMD and lift pump.

Well, it did happen tonite.  Buddy ran me up, followed back as planned, just took way longer than planned. Blew a little smoke for the first few miles. Most of the lights worked, 2 windows were open but the heater and radio worked good. Wasn't sure of the fuel as it was blow 1/4, so I dropped in $50 which brought me up past half. Water light was blinking so hoping that would displace it enough. So fuel gauge works, some of the dash lights. Oil is pegged out and voltage showed 12 but rose and fell with rpm so GTG. It did 65 easy all the way and pulled good but is no dmax for sure. Thought it was dripping oil when we stopped for diner in Lincoln but stick showed full (black as you know what). Dropped at moms house for now as no where to park it now. No oil was there when parked so it must have been from another vehicle.

Having someone follow and don't plan on breakneck speeds. Tires are OK too. May happen tonite,,,,,,,,
Yes, I have AAA+100 just in case!
You guts will love the turbo and air cleaner. I thought it had an intercooler at first.
6685
« on: November 07, 2018, 10:52:25 AM »
85 and it is a 4L80, so thinking it is a 6.5. Plus it has the vacuum pump below where the 6.2 was on top. Then again it has reg belts vs a serpentine system which says 6.2.
Working on ride to get it now, just an hour away.
6686
« on: November 06, 2018, 11:46:52 PM »
The good;
Starts easy, not to loud or much rattle, hardly any smoke. NO SMOG NEEDED, EVER!
Hydro brakes from the factory.
4L80 transmission, shifts good, all electrical seems to work, even the windows but they need rebuilding.
4inch Lift, 33in tires, 2 are OK but no cord showing
Barn Doors, no rust, glass all good
The bad?
Door dent is a little worse than it looks and actually goes from the front door to the rear panel a little.
Looks like a home made turbo setup and still not sure if its a 6.2 or 6.5
Exhaust goes down through the right fender liner, then back and under the frame to the stock muffler, sure its home made.
No 3rd row seat (but I have one) No headliner.
Has a newer style receiver welded under the stock and will need to be cut off.
Lines cut off for the AC and the rear unit removed.
The plan;
Finish up the original Sub with parts from this (lift, tires/wheels, bumpers) and flip it, so I loose no $$$ at all.

Figured A new thread is in order with a new (older) base Suburban.
Haven't got it home yet, but paid for and registered. No Smog!!!!
Took a few more pics and here is where I am starting.

« on: November 06, 2018, 05:01:20 AM »
Will update you guys later today. Looks like it has a 6.5 TD in there. Not buying it for the motor, but am. Long as it runs OK, but then do we ever leave anything alone?
6689
« on: November 06, 2018, 04:59:28 AM »
We lost 2 diesel marine engine with bad placement of the exhaust flappers. Looked good on paper, then the engines seized. It was just a "little water" when you powered down.

Almost 160 on mine and time for all the goodies too.
Don, do you get it by the barrel? Might save a lot!

« on: November 05, 2018, 04:41:12 PM »
Just realized the diesel sub has a turbo, so a little more power is there until it comes out.
I took the side window of the 91 to fix a little rust bubble. Fairly easy with suction cups on these ol things. Found a little more rust than I was hoping for along the seam. Nut is will get treated from the inside so should be GTG.
Going to cut open an old hub for the abs ring. They run around $50 each so a little cutting could net some return.

« on: November 05, 2018, 01:57:29 PM »
Another update, end goal is the same, just a different format, another sub.
I like what I have but getting it registered as a diesel in this state will be a lot of work. I have bee watching CL for months now in case a diesel sub came along that someone didn't want 5K for, was straight and close to me. So I found a couple the last week and this one sorta jumped out, then he dropped the price.
Plus by starting with a diesel reg, no smog, EVER. Plus it has hydro brakes and is supposed to be a rust free cal truck. Mine had a few spots I was not happy with but could be overcome. Heck guys drop gassers back in em but not may plan.
Going to a diff sub will cost me nothing but time. In fact I should make $$ on the deal in the long run, but thats for another post,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

« on: November 05, 2018, 01:30:46 PM »
Ryan got it!! They are not junk, not even as bad as the ford 6.0, just not a powerhouse.
Yep, its solves many conversion issues, it is still a cali truck.
More updates in the Spartan thread tomorrow when I got see it. Probably not bringing it home for a few days though as I need to figure a ride and check the tires good.
