3 wire o2 sensor
I have a heated O2 sensor on my 1978 MG-B, converted to two SU carbs from a single barrel whatever it was carb. I wanted to be able to monitor the air/fuel ratio without having to pull over every ten miles and pulling plugs. The sensor is hooked to a gauge in the cabin. Last trip out, right...- MrMarty51

6.2l K5 Hunter Package
the 6.2 diesel was not built on a gas engine platform. The 6.2 was designed for GM in the detroit diesel plant and was a diesel engine from its very beginnings. If You want a unit that will get 20 MPG then fix this unit and run it. Nice find, I sure would not scrap it out. Welcome to the forum.- MrMarty51

6.2 running poorly
Prestone, engine coolant has changed formula over the last ten or twenty years. Unless the coolant has been in the engine for a very long time, it will not have that tell tale sweet smell to it. The coolant had a sweet taste to it that animals just loved. They would lap that stuff up until there...- MrMarty51

New "Old" Daily - 8.1L
Nice looking unit. I like that radio player thing. Especially the fact that if it is an android unit it can run the Torque Pro app; all thats needed is the ALDL adapter then You can set up a dashboard that will read any sensors that You set it up for. Live constant information feed.- MrMarty51

Look how easy it is to build a aluminum dual fan shroud. Never buy 1 again $$$$
And if it will be going to a recycler, cut off a blade, or two, but not so it would be balanced.- MrMarty51

Wood heater/stove. What y'all think?
One time my ex BIL had a character installing a wood/coal stove in the BILs house. Now this was an old stove and it had a base with legs on it, legs about 10 to 12" long. I arrived at his house in time to watch them set the stove down on this sheet of asbestos backed tin fire proofing stuff. I... -
Wood heater/stove. What y'all think?
Check fire codes for Your area. IIRC, in a garage or flammable situation, the height from the floor to the bottom of the ash pan, or stove, is suppose to be 16 inches. Better check the codes for Your area though. -

What ate my front u joints? Dana 44
Reading all these posts about grease. Something else that might be amiss. When You installed the new u-joints and got them all pressed into the shaft and retainers installed. did You center them in the shafts ? More U-Joints gets destroyed because people dont know about centering them.- MrMarty51

1985 6.2 Diesel vs Gas engine underhood wiring harness for conversion.
Lift the current fuse block enough to release the fuse connectors/wires, set in the 454 block and plug back in what is applicable, use pigtails from the 454 chassis and add the new wires and just string onto those pigtails to complete the necessary circuits. Keep from having to unwrap and strip...- MrMarty51

1985 6.2 Diesel vs Gas engine underhood wiring harness for conversion.
I`m watching this thread. Maybe a repair manual for the two units might show differences. I`m thinking more to the possibility that if the outside the firewall harnesses was changed that there would need to be some changing on the fuse panel side harness too, Being that there is a possibility...- MrMarty51

yep - finally got one! 87 V10 - long bed - 350 - auto
Check those differential breather hoses. If that rear hose is busted at the differential, it will allow moisture and condensation to be pulled into the housing, right on top of the side gear bearing, I cant tell You how much fun that is to change.- MrMarty51
