Just picked up a 85' 6.2 C code Suburban

[FalcortheRooster]

Hello everybody!

First diesel here so sorry ahead of time for any dumb questions.

Couldn't Pass up the deal on this so I Bought it.

Already been through a couple of the basics:

New Batteries, Oil change, and Belts, replaced a couple fuses.


Starts up and runs great When its cold. Once it warms up and I stop, it turns over for days, no start.

Got it to start once by holding the gas open, doesn't work every time.

Smokes a ton when you do that also.

Thinking 33's or 35's for the new tires, looks like a lot of people run 3.08 gears, with the stock tranny.

Im thinking a nv4500 sounds nice, but Im planning several trips and camping excursions so any reccomendations would be welcomed!


Thanks,

Garrett
