Hi - I'm the proud owner of a mostly running 1987 Suburban, with 6.2 of course. This is my first GM diesel so I have a few questions to get it fully on the road.
The oil pressure gauge and temp gauge don't work, so i bought new sending units. However, the wiring connectors seem different. Did I get the wrong ones, or do I have to "adjust' the wiring to connect? Especially the temp sender old one seems to have 1 wire, but the new one has 2 pins for connectors. I did just buy these at the local parts store, so if that's no good where is the best place to order parts from? I know a lot of times you get what you pay for, so I don't mind spending a little more to buy GOOD parts...
Also I found your fantastic reference lit section, but I'm old school in that I like to have a printed manual to hold in my lap before I crawl up underneath my rig. What are the recommendations for the best one I can buy? I know Haynes, Chilton, etc usually aren't the best on details, so I'm hoping there's one or 2 good ones out there that are a little better. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I dig into this thing. Thanks!!!
