Nice job...may I suggest wear safety glasses when using those wire wheels....I've had those fly off and hit me in the face .....little pieces of wire.

That’s a really good suggestion. In fact, I’m pretty sure I got debris in my eye a couple times while shooting this vid. A piece of wire would obviously be much worse. My safety glasses are usually just a couple feet away or on my hat and I still manage to almost never wear them.

So the NP208 bolts right up to the 4500 with no modifications? I have an 86 K10 i'm putting a 4500 in , but i have a NP208 behind a 700R4 which is the wrong spline, i need a Np208 from a TH400 or 4 speed manual square body i am told. Just want to make sure no other mods are needed.

That’s right. There’s probably an adapter between the 700R4 and the NP208. There was between my TH400 and the NP208, but it wasn’t necessary between the NP208 and NV4500. I think I was actually able to sell the adapter for a little over $100, so it offset the cost of the project a bit. You will need a 208 that accepts the 32 spline output shaft from the NV4500, though.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to figuring that out too. The pedal set is a junkyard part and my clutch return spring broke, so I have to make another spring before I install. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have issues with the stock np208 shifter and the NV4500 shifter being too close too. Should be interesting figuring that out.

TorgueWagon...great name and well done videos, but they stopped at #5??? Would love to watch until the suburban hits the highway! I am literally attempting to get the identical project done to my 1986 6.2L Diesel K30 Pickup (need to "get it done" because I live in Chicago and cannot jack my truck up in the street :(. I am running into so many issues and conflicting arguments about how to do it, correct parts, where to get the parts, etc. during my research. Would ideally like to get a rebuilt/new nv4500, but do not know what setup I need. My diesel mechanic will do all of the work, I just need to deliver him the trans, and every single other part. Can you point me in the right direction? (and post the rest of the video(s) when you get a chance because this is impressive and would love to see how it all worked out). Many thanks. Cheers.

Thanks for watching. I'm working on more videos for this series right now. I didn't get a chance to work on it much over the winter, but now that the weather is getting better, I should be able to put some more time into the build. I have a partial parts list that I'll try to finish up and put on Google Drive, but I want to make sure everything works first. I'll be putting in the pedal set and clutch master cylinder in the next video, then I should be ready to do some cutting on the trans tunnel and get the NV4500 mounted. I'll probably do a separate video for the transfer case install as well, because I think I'm going to convert it to a cable-shift mechanism instead of the mechanical setup I have now. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos and would love to see a pic or video of your K30 diesel. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! A torch and/or impact are must haves for getting some of the bolts out. And be patient with finding an NV4500. One will pop up on Facebook marketplace or craigslist. I bought mine for $300.

That’s understandable. My suburban has been down for a year at this point but it was never intended to be a daily driver. There’s a bunch of guys out there who part these trucks out all the time. If you haven’t joined the Facebook group 6.2 / 6.5 / 5.7 Diesel, you should check it out. There’s a few other groups dedicated to the 6.2s and 6.5s as well.

My starter is too long it hits my bellhousing, what do I do?
@TorqueWagon
4 жыл бұрын
I think there’s a couple things you can do depending on your bellhousing and your starter. You may be able to get a different nose cone for your starter. I’ve heard that the nose for the 6.5 gear reduction starter will fit on the 6.2 direct drive starter. The 6.5 starter is also a direct replacement for the 6.2 starter, so you could just swap in a new 6.5 starter, but you’d have to get a new bracket to brace it to the block because they’re different between the 6.2 and 6.5. You can also grind the inside of the bellhousing to make room for the starter nose. I plan on doing that this week but don’t know when I’ll have the video up. I’m using a custom bellhousing from Advance Adapters, and it has a groove already machined into the housing that I will just need to take a bit more material from to make mine fit. If you are using the stock GM bellhousing with the internal slave cylinder, I’m not sure that you can grind it for starter clearance.
