    I originally wanted to get a 3.0 Duramax, but upon doing some research, there wasn’t much for options to enhance reliability if you catch my drift, where there was with the 3.0 Powerstroke. There was a recall on an egr cooler bolt with this pickup which was done prior to me buying it. After...

    I know it is a Furd….but I have been quite happy with this pickup. 2019 3.0 Powerstroke. Amazing what modern diesel technology can do.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    The Mr. Goodwrench 350 is peculiar for 20,000 original miles too… I guess could be possible if some old guy had a camper in the back and only used it camping.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    I saw that ad the other day on Bisman too! Some people…. Lol Did you see the ‘78 K20 from Beach that is supposed to have super low miles…with a Mr. Goodrench engine in it? I think he was asking $25k for it.

    Transfer case

    I think the lower 4Low gearing might be why the military used 208’s in the CUCV’s.

    Transfer case

    CUCV’s did come with 208’s I believe.

    Transfer case

    If it is a true K30, it should have the 205 already unless it has been swapped out.

    305 SBC vs 6.2 Detroit: Which would you rather?

    Full disclosure: I have a '90 K2500 with a 6.2....so there is that. But I guess if you had to pick between the two, I tend to think if you are settling for an engine that doesn't make much power, at least the 6.2 is pretty fuel efficient.

    Cruise control servo rebuild video

    Hey, I was having troubles with the cruise control on our 1990 Suburban losing speed so I spent some time researching and came across this video that shows how to repair the servo. I took our servo apart and found the same issue with the degrading foam filter. I cut a new piece of foam to...

    OEM Starter options?

    I replaced the starter on our '90 Suburban with one from a 96+ Vortec 350. They are the smaller, high torque starter and it was a direct bolt in. Works great.

    Delphi fuel pump

    I found this Walbro pump on Summit's website. I have used Walbro pumps on generators before and they seem to last much longer than other brands and it is made in the USA. I may go this route instead of the Delphi. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpn-5ca401-1

    Delphi fuel pump

    The fuel pump died on our 90 Suburban the other day. I stopped at an area auto parts store yesterday and they had the options of either a Delphi or Bosch fuel pumps. They have the Delphi in stock, so I got that one. I see it is made in China. How are the Delphi pumps for reliability? Is...

    They are KYB Monomax's.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the steering stabilizer and shocks. It had the quad shocks, but decided to just go with singles on the front. The old shocks and stabilizer were shot and it rides and handles so much better now.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Yeah, this truck has spent its whole life in the oilfields up here. There are very few winch trucks with poles left around here. Most roustabout companies use either loaders or cranes now days to do what these winch trucks used to do. We used to use this truck to set pumping units and tank...
