    To convert to auto or not

    Sorry the leak out and stay manual, in my opinion. Those granny gear four speeds are tough, but I get the agitation with them... There are definitely other four speeds and five speeds than can be swapped in, some that could be had for less than a built 700R4 and everything else that goes into...

    1987 GMC R1500 SB Stepper

    Man, I have this on my local Craigslist and Facebook marketplace... I forgot just how ridiculous people can be. I've had offers of dogs, guns, crappy cars, and really low cash offers without even seeing the truck in person. Dudes have shown up to see it who don't know how to drive stick, don't...

    Well, that deal fell through pretty quickly. Guy backed out... So, the truck is still available.

    The Burb is an '87 Tucson original as well. I'm the 2nd owner. 3/4 ton 2WD, 350, built 700R4, one piece driveshaft, rebuilt 3.73 locker rear end, dual A/C... A real family truckster. I'm back to daily driving it now that the red truck is on the market.

    1987 GMC R1500 SB Stepper

    @78c10bigten thanks. It's been a great truck, but we have two Jeeps, two squarebodies, three vintage scooters, and two motorcycles. Too many vehicles for our little urban property. My wife sold one of her Jeeps, so it's time for some quid pro quo. It's sell the pickup or my Suburban, and that...

    1987 GMC R1500 SB Stepper

    Well, We're downsizing and one of my squares has to go. Daily driver L03 305, NP A833, 3:08 open diff. A/C blows cold. Tucson truck, I'm the third owner. A good , honest pickup. Had plans for a new wiring harness, as the desert is rough on rubber parts and wiring. New radiator, slave and master...

    High idle... Sometimes.

    Finally got around to checking this issue out. IACV had a serious case of black lung. Actually wasn't too bad, but cleaned it up and did the reset and things are back to normal. Thanks again everyone!

    High idle... Sometimes.

    Thanks for the tags @Honky Kong jr . @1987 GMC Jimmy, thanks for the info. Already checked for vacuum leaks, that was my first stop. Since I'm thinking of modding the TBI, maybe I'll just pull it and go through everything. I'll try an IAC Valve reset though. I forgot which pinstopjump so that's...

    High idle... Sometimes.

    Hey everyone... The little red pickup (87 R1500/305/NPA833) is acting odd: Fires right up and idles great at 800 rpm. Warms up, all is good most days. *Sometimes* the idle (clutch in or in neutral) kicks up to 1100 and just stays there. I'm thinking TPS? Before I start trying to remember how...

    New Process A833 4speed w/ OD MY6 MM7

    Okay, everyone, I'm looking for some feedback: I'm pulling the 305 out of my '87 soon, and putting in a fairly stock 350 TBI out of my Suburban or a freshend up LQ4 (just have to decide if the LQ4 is better off in the Suburban or the little truck)... I'm not that confident about the A833...

    Whats your Dream Build?

    Money is not a concern dream build? An Icon Derelict level build of my Suburban. More realistic? Having the cash to finish my red pickup off the way I want: Strange rear end, Tremec 6 speed, blown 454... Bit by bit I'll get there. I'll be settling for a fresh 350, a rebuilt Muncie to replace...
