Anybody still running an 6.2 GM diesel?
I just found an old metal coffee can full of coarse and fine thread injectors. These were in the house for some reason.
We won’t get into what is “stored” in the old dairy barn on mom’s place. I know there is a 6.2GM section, a Mack section, a Cummins (big cam 400) section and even a 5.7GM diesel section....

You don't know the half of it,I just let a scrap guy take two 350 chevy heads ,havent had that van for twenty years.
There was A and L coils from serviceable ac jobs sections of line sets.
I was becoming one of them hoarder creatures like on t v

I still have a set of hubcaps for a 1963 VW Variant, which was my first car.

What'da'ya'mean?

Anyone in the Seattle Area want a brand new Jaguar trunk and 4 rims?

Shoot yeah, my Dad has an 89 2500 Suburban with a built 6.2 with a Banks turbo kit on it. Killed the trans, again, recently and currently have it at the shop getting the trans rebuilt.

That thing is huge and still gets around 21 mpg on the road. He refuses to get rid of it although his DD is now a Honda Ridgeline.

You don't want to see my attic and crawl space. They are filled with spare 65 - 67 GM A Body (Cutlass, Chevelle, GTO) parts. I'll need them someday.

Dad had an 83 'burb with the Gale Banks Turbo. Same experience.

6.2, what a hunk of shit! And I'm a GM fan-boy. We had one in a flatbed wrecker, it was like playing the lottery every time I went on a service call.

I have a a number of homemade tools and a number of suspension parts for a 95 4Runner that I haven't owned in some time.

Well, if anybody finds a 650 BSA or a 305 Superhawk they want removed........

I've got a bunch of home made tools. Modified, really. The best is my modified 9/16s box end wrench. It started life as 9/16s offset. But there was one place on the jeep that was a problem to say the least. I think it was a starter bolt that there just wasn't clearance to get anything on. One friend had tried using a universal socket, and it kind of worked. You could back the bolt out until the universal part hit the tranny, but then it was jammed. The offset wrench was perfect, and a 12 point to boot.

Someone suggested I take it back to Sears, but I was still satisfied with it. Remember when they used to tell you on TV? It wasn't the tool they were guaranteeing, it was your satisfaction.
