Finally got the engine out of the 98

Mow to get to work on the 95 still don't know what I am doing- either a new v6 or a v8

Ok based on this I will give the 4.3 L35 to my dad he has a 98 GMC 1500 that it should fit , and i will rebuild the 4.3 in the 95 and part out the 97.

Unless I will be able to get a V8 into the 95 , still want to explore that.

Great info- thanks !

Wow - what a shock


Lynn tell Dennis I am praying for him and the kids. He seems pretty tough , he'll beat it.

You know I don't remember having to take the ball joints apart when I pulled the front diff out if my 97. I think I wuold have remembered that .
I am getting old though.

Well at this rate I will never catch up.

The vibrating would seem to be a "ground" problem, while the swinging is most likely the sending unit. Both my '98s have the vibrating problem but so far it hasn't bothered me enough to figure out a fix. Yep ts a ground problem. Maybe in the harness of the sending unit , or wherever it ge...

Some of the lines are 3/16 and some are 1/4" . You will have to check what you are taking off but I ended up using some of both sizes
