My 1990 Chevy 3500 with the 6.2 started shifting very late and hard all of a sudden. I had the Turbo 400 rebuilt recently. Is my tranny on the way out again so soon?

My 1995 Chevy 2500 4X4 has always run fine; yesterday the SES light came on and keeps coming on. The truck seems to run OK though.

My 1982 Blazer 6.2 is getting very hard to start even when warm. The mileage has gone way down and it has very little power when pulling hills.

My 2500 GMC pickup with a 6.2 is getting hard to start on cold mornings. My batteries are new and the engine cranks good. I get loads of whitish-blue smoke when it finally starts.

My 1986 6.2 diesel Suburban will at times refuse to start when it is just warm. The glow plug light does not come on until the engine cools more; then it starts fine.
