    Pictures of the bed! No wait! That doesn't sound right either! :eek: I just wanted pictures of how well the lights work. Oh gawd. How did this go sideways? :oops:

    Nice. Pictures in the dark, please.

    6.2 compressor brackets needed.

    They likely used a DA6 compressor. Look on RotAuto to see what they look like. I'll try to get you some photos tomorrow.

    I never knew how hot P/S fluid gets. New conversion. Pic's inside.

    Well, that was impressive. That first Charger would have concerned me because the state police around here drive a lot of those. And I thought it was only around here that people tried to merge with a 50 MPH speed differential. Maybe they were from New York. Good video.

    82 K20 4x4 Diesel swap

    Very good idea.

    82 K20 4x4 Diesel swap

    The pickups in the fuel tanks are different. The motor mounts and frame brackets are different. The transmission, as noted, is different. The gauges and senders are different. If you want the factory fuel filter setup, there's a separate harness for the water in fuel and glowplug indicator on...

    Torque converter has a lower stall speed as well.

    82 K20 4x4 Diesel swap

    The diesels used different motor mounts and mounting brackets on the frame. However that doesn't mean they won't bolt up to small block mounts. See what I mean by subjective?

    82 K20 4x4 Diesel swap

    "Just bolt in" is a highly subjective term. But being a GM product there is decent interchangeability.

    82 K20 4x4 Diesel swap

    Here we go again.... The 6.2/6.5 engine is usually "okay" if you accept it for what it is. If you're looking for an acceptable street driver that is good on fuel, ask your doctor if 6.2 is right for you. If you're looking for reasonable towing power (not Duramax or Powerstroke power) it could...

    Air in fuel lines after sitting over night on 6.2

    Would be nice if they had a picture of that first one. It may or may not be correct. A "set screw" it is not.

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Try loosening the belts too.

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Well, it might fix it. Just don't stand near it when you do.

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Right. And if they don't come out, screw them back in before you crank the engine. That compression can launch things.

    I never knew how hot P/S fluid gets. New conversion. Pic's inside.

    When you think about how these systems operate it's amazing they don't all cook themselves. That pump is just jamming all the volume it can make against a regulator which calls for full system pressure all the time and dumps the rest right back into the reservoir. Most high pressure systems...

    Air in fuel lines after sitting over night on 6.2

    Well, it looks like Stanadyne has abandoned the product, but I can give you part numbers for the O-ring and screws. Also there's a service bulletin about the screws. I'll have to do more digging on some of this, but the O-ring P/N is 22591 and the screws are P/N 22953

    There are no O-rings on the bleeders. The screws have rubber tips for sealing. I'll get you the info on the vacuum sensor O-ring and the bleeder screws when I get to work on Monday. BTW, since the fuel filter is pressurized, if there's an issue it will usually leak fuel while the engine is running.

    Correct.
  20. Blue Ox

    Air in fuel lines after sitting over night on 6.2

    Right, but it's the vacuum sensor. Just an O-ring. Easy fix. Don't condemn the box filter itself. It's actually a fairly well thought out piece.

    Air in fuel lines after sitting over night on 6.2

    What's likely happening is an air bubble is developing because of a leak or drainback issue and it ends up at the highest point which is normally fhe fuel filter. You're starting up on fuel that is in the injection pump, then sucking ths bubble into the system which stalls it. Needless to say...

    What is this? (LSPV Valve)

    @Keith Seymore would be the guy to access the records for your truck and see what valves were used.

    Right.

    Proportioning valve vs. load sensing valve

    The installation was based on dimensions. That little plastic tab on the shaft was actually a sacrificial install tool. The tab was aligned with the arm, then broken off when things moved. Basically there's a cam that the shaft moves that either allows the valve to move with brake application...

    Thank you. You give me hope that I can make my formerly Little Red, currently chalked-out-pink Corvette look acceptable before the wife sees it.
