    TH350 & 700R4 factory wiring and vacuum mods

    Btw, I do realize some of this wasn't tranny related but the egr valve was originally controlled by trans switch in fourth, and most of these were leftover connections that I didn't want gone and though of useful things to do with them, and I left out that I have plastic line going to new tranny...

    TH350 & 700R4 factory wiring and vacuum mods

    I started this thread in case it might be another idea someone besides me could use, noticed alot of people are spot on as I know myself some of the little differences that have to be converted and/or added or deleted when doing a swap. Put alot of work into my ride as I wanted it simple but...

    Absolute factory clearance & steering

    Thanks, I was thinking that was the case and hoping so, I bought a 14 the other day, the funny thing about that truck is that is has a real thick factory harness for the charging circuit, the smallest wires are either a 8 or a 10 gauge from the alternator, then it has some extra wires that are...

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    It did go through a tank of gas but I was wondering if maybe it could have had water in it, it just ran so much like an electrical problem due to how it was so hit and miss, one minute it ran like a brand new truck, very throttle responsive and all, the next time you'd turn it off and fire it...

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    They were removed when I had the engine built

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    It's mainly through the exhaust, sorta like when your battery is going dead if the alternator isn't charging, but it has good ground and voltage

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    So today I get in my truck to take a load of things to storage, in the process, I decided to go ahead and get gas, but then as I was pulling in, it started acting real strange almost sounded and felt like a dead miss on every other cylinder, it was barely running. But then when I got the truck...

    Need high quality transmission seals........

    I meant "RTV" where there's an etc, and "malleable" where there is a walkable, but autocorrect got ahead of me, lol

    Need high quality transmission seals........

    I agree, I bought a TH350 Tranny that the pan and dipstick seals were leaking horribly, and I used the doorman dipstick seal about 5 years ago and a filter kit with pan gasket, the filter is literally like a screen on most even the high quality ones so if you replace that too theres not too many...

    HEI

    Watch out for the newer ones, they're good but need a ESC module (electronic spark control) my truck has one, they made two different ones, external and internal coil, I know your looking for the internal coil one, but if it's for anything above maybe 83-84 it's probably going to be one of the...

    Truck won't start after sitting for years

    The very first thing I'd have done if no startup occurred after so long of sitting, (especially after about a year or more) would be to check the fuel from injectors, or even on a carb I like to disconnect the line to it to see if it's got fuel going to it, just slowly unscrew last few threads...

    New dash pad from Cheyenne Pickup

    I'm definitely going to check that out, thanks, I've been looking hard, I've felt dumb at times for purchasing things that were junk at the least, and to know I'm going to get my money out of what I buy is what I'm looking for, I've heard of brothers, I believe I accidently ran across it one...

    No reasonable offer will be accepted!

    Those turn signal switches are getting real popular these days, and could put some duck tape around that pivot pin and jam it in there could get a few more miles out of that one, lol

    Interior and dash Pad replacement (and finding them)

    Kinda sharp, I actually like that, I thought about doing black, VB but the truck always held the memories for me and changing it might change the feel completely, but Im going with it in my 91 K5, I'm getting it soon and I'm wanting the black interior and carpeted kick panels and bottom door...
