    I checked again for codes a few days ago and none were set after driving it a week or so. I still think it was because the battery was almost dead. I still need to check clean grounds and run new charge/battery/ground wires with better gauge wire. Cold and cr4py out, makes it had to get...

    Today i changed the Transmission filter and fluid. Dropping the pan was not too bad. Had to pry the Y pipe down a little so i could wiggle the pan out. I did the trans oil change by unhooking the top cooler line at the radiator. After about 14 quarts of fluid it was running nice and new looking...

    Time will tell if putting a new pump in cured it or just prolonged the engine swap. I figured i would need to change the mount again when i fix the broken exhaust manifold bolts if i don't get to it soonish. Yeah, New mounts are the way to go for sure. I wanna drop the diff at the same time...

    Oh, Also i can get the Instrument cluster for $50 and the bezel also. Trying to decide if it's a worthwhile mod or not.

    Picked this up today for 20 bucks at the wrecking yard. Debating on painting it black like the one on it.

    All fuses are tested good. Small annoyances but would like to get them fixed. Anyone able to offer so suggestions on what to look at/test? 1: The temp and heading on the mirror sometimes work and sometimes nothing. 2: If i try turning on high beams they only stay on when im holding the...

    Before i finished, i also changed the oil again with Royal Purple and a Wix XP filter. After changing the engine mount and a cold start the oil pressure was still holding steady at 60PSI cold. i took it for about a 20 mile highway drive so it was good and warmed up. Idling the hot oil pressure...

    Got that mount changed. Slight pita but not to bad really. Sure is nice to not have that clunk taking off from a stop! The old mount was trashed bad enough that the retaining pin holding it together was bent. Must have been changed before as the heat shield is gone. No matter how i tried i could...

    Not really looking forward to today's big adventure, Changing the DR side engine mount. Some do it from the finder well some do it from underneath. Either way they all say it suck2. Report my experience with a few pics, probably.

    Grew up in a Heavy equipment shop the parents owned, so been working on everything with an engine all my life. Don't trust anyone else to do it so i have to and sometimes ya gotta get creative to get it done but, At 63yo it's getting harder to get it done.

    I'm cautiously optimistic from previous experience with this problem. If oil pressure remains steady for the next couple of months i'll be fkn ecstatic. At least for now i can move on to other stuff that needs to be fixed.

    So once apart, I'm starting to think maybe his story was not entirely BS but no way to know for sure. The cam sensor looked newish, The VVT Magnet is the new style and it also had a new VVT solenoid but why not change the oil pump and o ring. Seems like a no brainer to me. After installing a...

    Ok so i decided to play sick today from work and change that oil pump. Started at 9AM and done by 1:45pm so not to bad and had a couple short coffee breaks. Discovered someone had been working on it before. The crank pulley bolt was loose and not even finger tight. Kinda makes sense. The PO told...

    Looks like im not going to get this engine changed before it just gets too cold and s4ity out sadly. I'm really thinking about this weekend changing the oil pump and o ring on the current engine. I can do it without taking the oil pan out. I know it can be done as i have done it once before. Im...

    Also found a great parts cleaner. Gets old varnish and gunk off pretty good. I tossed the parts in a bucket and let them soak for a couple of hours and rinsed them clean. No scrubbing.

    That would sure work. Im installing a new one with the wrecking yard engine. I also do not believe the old one is bad.

    Yes everything is from Rock Auto and GM, ACDelco, Felpro. You get the idea. Nothing from ChingChong China. I only use name brand, where they get it from i can't control.

    Did you see Post #31? My guess is cam bearings are chewed up.

    My thinking is it has ran this long. If I going to start putting different heads on it and stuff I might as well rebuild the bad one in it.

    Though of that. Have a 5.3 here and asked if that would work. Big NOPE! Good try though;)

    I actually did check on them as i had never seen them. Are you thinking the 823 heads that are known to crack if they have a casting mark that looks like a battery? As far as i can find reading 5364 heads are as good as the other two casting number heads you normally find on 6.2L engines.
