My New Truck
My work truck I purchased a couple of weeks before Christmas. It is a 1992 Chevrolet 6.5 turbo diesel 4x4 dually.
IMG_3910.jpg IMG_3906.jpg IMG_3908.jpg IMG_3905.jpg IMG_0746.jpg Okay the list is long but as I do go between 5-8 hours from my home to do a cutting job I needed/wanted a diesel. Okay for your reading pleasure... Following parts are new. Injection pump mechanical (virgin ip turned up a tad) lift pump fuel filter Transmission rebuilt had a bad reverse band 4l80e Heavy duty rebuild kit with alto clutches Stage3 Transgo shift kit can increase to stage 5. My brother and I decided superior or b&m would have been a better choice as the Transgo kit required drilling the valve body (first for my brother and he has built probably 175 tranny's) new sensors in transmission transmission cooler 1400 stall converter alternator starter master cylinder Rotors Calipers Pads Brake lines all front Brake shoes with new hardware kit drum brakes wheel cylinder each side rear New shocks all around ARP head bolts glow plugs glow plug relay throttle position sensor ignition switch water pump upgraded to a duramax fan 21" with modified clutch moves a lot more air if you have a 6.5 I highly recommend you watch YankeePreeper on youtube.... thermostat boost control gauge pyrometer gauge transmission gauge and while it was up on the lift I painted the frame I was fortunate the guy I know finally sold it to me as the frame and body are in very good shape... Used parts Stock turbo 5"down pipe to 4" straaaight exhaust fabricated manual boost controller The only reason I replaced these parts as I got into the truck more than just the tranny and brakes were jacked and I am not in the mood for breakdowns miles from home been there done that.. being my personal truck and not a flip you get it.. Left to do going from 235/16 to 285/16 fairly aggressive tire offbrand 50,000 miles life span all six for less than 750 mounted and all extendable tow mirrors may put in some aftermarket lights doing solid black wheel simulators going to have the paint clayed and waxed... cb custom front bumper brother and I will fabricate to two more additional batteries with power inverter 12,000 lb badlands winch I tried not to forget anything it...I had the first injury as I was moving the rear brake drum I kind of dropped it rolled it on my left ring finger..holy mackerl split me wide open felt like from the inside out??? from the tip dang near to the first bend oh man did I grunt the second injury I watched Bob walk right into the rear diff. with the driveshaft out kersplat right on back thought the truck was coming off the lift no blood though only mine... guess thats it. I have not added up the cost yet.. But I am already in the middle of a JacknJill bathroom remodel so I guess Boss Lady knows lol... Last edited by twin50; 03-26-2019 at 10:38 PM. Reason: added parts list... |

A friend just brought his, new to him, 2004 chevy duramax diesel 4 door long bed over to show me. Has the Alison trans... He says the 2004 is a good year for the dura max and the trans .

Not just clear coat oxidizing , but sheets of pain coming loose from the primer on the roof , hood and side behind the rear door Lucky the paint on my truck is real nice. I keep it under cover or in the shop and keep wax on it |

Those are good trucks. Looks like a great, to the point build too. Hopefully a reliable rig for a long time.

I'm still driving my ford f150, 4x4, 5 speed, king cab, long bed, 1/2 ton. Absolutely love the truck, will never get rid of it. I just got it all tuned up, new left fender, left rear tail light lense, heater and AC both working again. Got new seat covers for it and it even has the Sirius xm radio in it now along with my dual band ham radio. I guess 92 was a good year for trucks and I'll just keep maintaining it.

Yes it was straight to the point at first I only replace what I knew was bad or broken...and as we all know when you get to a certain point in the build you find or even break something during...I hope this truck serves me well until I find the right extended cab or crewcab to swap everything over
