Put a new motor in my 1990gmc truck 1990year.It ws a 10 amp fuse for the ignition, what is wrong/blo
Hello! Just because you changed an engine does not mean that something unrelated hasn't occurred... In the fuse box is the 10A fuse in the far left row...Third fuse down?....If it is that is the ECM ignition Fuse...Tracing from the ignition switch it is a Pink wire that goes to a 3A in-line fuse and changes color to Purple/White then on to the ECM...When the fuse blows is there battery on the Pink wire?...If not...Pull the blown fuse...Disconnect the main Battery terminal...Set multimeter to the X 10 scale...Place one lead on each side of the pulled fuse socket and the other lead to bare metal ground...Does either side read resistance to ground?...If it does turn the ignition key from off...To ACC,.. to start and finally hold on run...Does the ground go away in any of those positions? if it does I would suspect one of the ignition switch wires is touching ground...Hard to find...But if you alligator clip the meter in place and wiggle the ignition wires you may see it come and go...Indicating where you are moving the harness the bare wire is pinched to ground...However...If the movement of the key does not produce a change...Remove the fuse box...Flip it over... identify the wire on the fuse that blows and trace it with meter in-place wiggling as you move through the harness until you find the bare spot touching ground...An easier softer way is to identify the color of the wire that connects to the ECM IGN FUSE...It will be Red, or Purple/White and go to the ignition switch...Cut it on both ends and run a wire of the same gauge from point to point...Guru...Saailer I’m happy to help further over the phone at

How to repair broken clutch line
I just fixed one.There is a small pin that you can push out to remove the coupling that pushes into slave cyclider. Then you have to heat up silver soder or brazing that holds tube into square fitting that goes into slave. After removing do the opposite to braze in new tube. If you know were the line is bad cut it about 3 inches further away to make sure you have a good strong tube to splice from. You will need 2 compression fittings one to splice the one your adding and one for the original line. The fun part comes trying to bleed out air after its back together Takes at least 30 pumps between each opening of bleeder that's located on back of slave unit. And make sure that you never leave the resevour run low or dry on fluid while bleeding or your going to have to start over.You will need to keep adding fluid throughout bleeding process. Regular brake fluid is what is used for clutch. Good luck

You could possibly have a fuel injector that is sticking open in that cylinder.The only way to check this is to install a fuel pressure gauge and turn the key to the on position and check the pressure.It should stay between 60 to 66 psi and hold for at least 10 minutes or more.If it goes down the you could have an injector leaking or leaking internally in the tank.I checked service bulletins and found one for the fuel pulsator in the tank getting ruptured from the high percentage of ethynol in the gas.The bulletin number is 66-63-09.The part number is 25175836.This pulsator is updated to handle the high percentages of ethynol.Hope this helps.Good luck.
Need repair manual for gmc
Finding free repair manuals on vehicles is almost imposssible. Even finding downloadable repair manuals are hard. I have found that ebay motors has used copies for not to bad a price or ordering them on cd from the dealers.

Some fault codes or check engine light turn on there?
The most common reason for stalling on this engines is the fuel pump. You should have around 45-55 psi fuel pressure. If you can set up the gauge so you can see it and drive the truck at the same time, watch the gauge and see if the pressure dropsout when the engine stalls. You my also want to check the grounds on the back of the heads on the engine, a loose ground can also cause the engine to stall and shutoff.
Are you check wires at/from coil harnesses? Brokes could cause this effect. Also, keep in mind that a CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor can cause a stall and it may not set a code. Most of the
time when a crank sensor goes bad, the engine will stall and not
restart until the engine cools down. It could be a wiring issue, a bad
connection or loose connection. Try running the engine and wiggling the
wiring around the sensors and grounds to see if the engine stalls or
studders.
Keep us updated.
Need diagram for 6.2L 1989
The assembly sequence in which you set the crank gear dot at 12 o'clock and the cam gear at 6 o'clock (for timing chain installation) and then rotate the crank 360 degrees to bring the IP drive gear on the front of the cam to 12 o'clock for installation of the IP driven gear at 6 o'clock? That is the so-called "connect the dots" process to properly time a 6.2 diesel.

There should be 2 rubber blocks in the wire harness down by the starter. These are fusible links and one kills power to the truck, the other kills power to the engine. Cut them out and splice the wires back together, one at a time of course. Old age will do them in on occasion, moisture gets in there. Use some "heat shrink tube" to cover the splice. It works much better than tape. Hope this helps.
Wanting to know if the
The short answer is yes. Rear ends are made in a variety of gear rarios depending on what you want to do with the truck. If you want to haul heavy stuff around most of the time then you are loking for a gear ratio in the area of 4.10 to 1. If you occasionally put a load in it and do a lot of empty driving you would want a ratio about 3.00 to 1 or lower. They will all affect mileage.
To find out what your truck has there should be a tag on it but it's probably rusted off by now so jack up the rear end and remove the cover. Have a drain pan to catch oil. Use something like White Out to mark a tooth and count the teeth on the big (crown) gear and do the same with the small(pinion) gear that drives it from the driveshaft. Divide the small number into the big one and that is your gear ratio. If you are looking for better mileage go to a smaller ration. The closer you get to 1:1 the better mileage you will get but you will lose grunt on take off. If you want help moving a loaded truck go away from 1:1. Hope this helps.
