Hi folks,
I am about as new here as you can get, so sorry if I ask a few recurring questions. Dose anyone have a favorite body parts dealer? I need fenders and doors for my project, but I really don't want flimsy thin stuff. I live in Alaska and shipping is a killer for up here, so I am looking for the best I can get quality wise. As my Dad would say do it right or go sit on the porch with the dog.:laugh:
Thanks "Doug"

Welcome! We have several 6.2 fans around here (including me :rolleyes:). You can read up on some of our 6.2 threads or simply start your own thread in the Garage or Driveway for asking questions about your new truck.

the front clip is much cooler looking imo.. round headlights rule.... :pimp:
 
I was hoping to learn more about carbs as i have yet to work on them, this tbi has been so tricky in turn of getting it to stop running rich , but i beleive ive found the problem , a faulty o2 wire. Im not sure how to replace it yet as it dissapears into the loom. I dont mind so much but the gas milage is terrible haha.
 
hey i am new!! i am needing ideas on why my 87 gmc suburban with a 350 tbi is failing emissions on (nox) would appreciate any help thank you!!!
 
NOX comes from high combustion chamber temps typically.

Could be running lean. Not enough fuel, vac leaks, stuff like that.

EGR is there to cool down combustion temps. Check to see if it's working?
