Np205
They are rare and stupid expensive when you find them. What trans are you using? Looks like you have a 6.0 LS swap, did you put a 4L80 in with that? I just used a 3/4" adapter ring to convert the 4L80 index ring to a TH400 index ring size and then used a 6" long 2wd output shaft in my 4L80 cut...- Bextreme04

Ha! My mom was in the very first graduating class to attend QHHS. My best friends mom still teaches art there I think. I got out in 2010 and started doing classes there Feb. 2010. Then I took a break after my first semester to go do a contractor rotation in Afghanistan and then came back and...- Bextreme04

Np208 transfer case brace
Which braces? He showed pictures of both. There are brackets that go under the motor mount(Post#59) and then have connecting bars from there to the threaded holes in the bottom of the dust cover(Post#57). There is also a single bar that goes from one of the transmission bellhousing bolts on...- Bextreme04

Np208 transfer case brace
yep, that's them. I have them and the heavy duty cover/brace rods on my 454 to 4L80e. The stock TH400 to Figure 8 NP205 is also still on my truck and will need to be cut and extended when I swap the 350/TH400 for the 454/4L80. I haven't had any issues with the bellhousing or case with the 350 in...- Bextreme04

HOW GEAR OIL?
The location of that hole and that guys statement he put 1-1/2 gallons in frightening. I can imagine those axle tubes are completely filled with fluid if that's true. I bet those axle seals aren't going to last long and there's gonna be about a gallon of 80-90 that will come pouring out of...- Bextreme04

Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI
They exist, just not very prevalent. The only states without E85 stations seems to be Montana and Utah. We have one station in Portland, two in Eugene and one in Bend. https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-locations#/find/nearest?fuel=E85 I'll often fuel up with it before pulling my trailer...- Bextreme04

Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI
True for many things.. but the one thing that has lately gotten me a little jealous is the lack of stations having E85 up here. Cali has a ton of stations, mostly central california and south of there, that have either mixer pumps or straight E85. It would be doubly nice if I could get a mixer...- Bextreme04

Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI
No, I drain my big generator of all fuel and then run it dry because I know it could be a year or more in between times it runs. As I said in my previous post, I have zero issues with any of my stuff gumming up. Stabil will keep the ethanol from messing stuff up and the gas from separating or...- Bextreme04

Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI
I run ethanol free in all of my small engines. I've never had an issue with varnish in any of my regular engines though. My truck will sit for extended periods of a few weeks sometimes, and I've never had an issue. EFI engines need the injectors cleaned every few hundred thousand miles... but...- Bextreme04

Wheel almost fell off while driving…help
The only thing it could be is someone not tightening them down enough or someone came along and loosened them at some point.

Np208 transfer case brace
It's not really about NP205 or NP208. It will be a different length based on that and also what trans/adapter you have. It is a different overall length for a TH400/round pattern than it is for a TH400/Figure 8 and also different for a 700R4/round pattern. You just need to measure straight from...- Bextreme04

Quadrajet Air Fuel Ratio
No... absolutely not. The APT adjustment is to adjust how much the metering rods come out under partial throttle cruise conditions. It will do absolutely nothing to adjust idle AFR. You don't want to adjust a quadrajet to vacuum. You should adjust it using the lean drop method. Basically you...- Bextreme04

You teaching at AVHS? My wife was a teacher and her first two years were at AV before she got transferred out to Littlerock.

Advice and Parts recommendations for some 6.2 cam/valvetrain work?
Well, I got it swapped out and started right up. Sounded good and ran decent on the stock 2011 Yukon 6.2 OS I swapped in to start with. Then it started making a slight knocking sound... which then got worse and worse until I had to shut it down and investigate. Pulled my hair out and started...- Bextreme04

It definitely could have been worse. I joined the army to get out and they just sent me to more hot and dusty places... so once I got out I decided I wanted some cooler and wetter weather and took a job in Oregon.- Bextreme04

Advice and Parts recommendations for some 6.2 cam/valvetrain work?
Yep, no machine work necessary unless the bearing spun and tore up the block. Probably won't necessarily even need all new bearings unless you can see visible gouges, but it would be good to do an inspection and know for sure- Bextreme04

Yep, road salt is prohibited for use in Oregon except for a select few spots on the interstate through steep mountain passes. They mainly use crushed cinder on the roads to promote traction in the mountains and main roads. You can find a single cab donor around here for $150-300 with zero or...- Bextreme04

Advice and Parts recommendations for some 6.2 cam/valvetrain work?
Cam bearings are notorious for spinning in these motors. You wouldn't get your symptoms from that though. Honestly, you are worse off having metal from a cam/lifter failure going through the motor than you are a bearing issue. Also, if you are already pulling it down far enough to replace...- Bextreme04

Advice and Parts recommendations for some 6.2 cam/valvetrain work?
Yeah, oil analysis will be able to tell if there is metal and what type, but really only matters if it’s small amounts and in the process of failing. I would drain the oil and cut the filter open. If a bearing spun or the cam got chewed up by a lifter spinning, you’ll be able to physically see...- Bextreme04

Yes, needle likely fell off when you turned it over to dump the gas, it just hangs on there by the spring normally. The power valve hanger can easily get bent if the last person to assemble it didn't make sure the needles were lined up inside the jets before assembly. It's kind of a pain to get...- Bextreme04

Any update on this? I think I finally got enough stuff prepped and my 5.3 is getting super tired.

Yes, that is the idle kick up solenoid that engages when the AC is engaged. The two prong electrical connector that is next to it(not plugged into anything) is the connector for the AC compressor.
