I have been doing lots of studying on this board for the past few days. Talk about a wealth of info! [img]smile.gif[/img]

My 14 year old daughter and I recently purchased a '57 flatbed pickup to restore/customize. I also just purchased a 1985 suburban with 6.2L and 700R4. It has about 130K miles I think. We are planning to remove the suburban body and put on the 57 cab and build a new flat bed for it. Probably will put on a turbo, and stack(s). It's hard starting so I bought some new glow plugs to put into it. I have some questions maybe some of you can help with.

1) How do I measure compression? Can I measure compression through the glow plug holes with an adapter?

2) How much electronics are there on these suburbans? I guess it has a computer, but what does the computer control?

3) Has anyone else tried putting on stacks?

This is my second diesel, I also own a 2000 Ford F-350. I am really looking forward to this project, and to doing it together with my daughter.

Thanks for help.

John.
