    Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw

    The factory shop manual says you gotta reach up from behind to change bulbs in dash.. I can reach this lower left turn signal indicator, but cannot get it out. Others, I have no idea how to reach them..

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally got a rubber pad on the parking brake pedal. Everybody wanted $5.99 for it, but only O'reillys had free shipping to the store. LMC wanted $24 for shipping it. Install was super easy.

    Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw

    Speedo still working great. then driving to Boulder noticed the tach went out. Found the power wire had come out of the fuse box. On that ride I lost my left turn signal (Just the indicator on dash, outside lights work fine). Do I get at the bulb from the back of the dash, or do I have to remove...

    Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw

    I fixed it. New cable.. The exact one I pulled out by part number on the cable, but new is 1 " longer and speedo is now working smoothly, for first time since I bought the truck. 3rd or 4th cable. All have been ATP-pioneer brand. New cable fit properly all around. This was the only problem in my...

    Finally! A cup holder that doesn't take up space on my seat. From Oreilly, magnetic and a good magnet. Says it holds 8 lbs. Derek Beiry at VGG bought these for his mustang for a cross country trip. Works great. Part # PTT0051

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    It's 621 miles from here to Kansas City, and the same back. 1240 miles/14 mpg = 88 gallons, at $3/gal=$270 to drive there and back. AMD wants $800 for one way. It would be a nice road trip if it wasn't kansas and sunflower season

    31x10.5 with 3:73 gears.700R4 trans. What RPM will I have at 70MPH?

    Your rear end should be (2000/2734) * 3.73 = you need a 2.72:1 rear end for 70 mph at 2000 rpm. Look at tire circumference to refine this calculation.

    31x10.5 with 3:73 gears.700R4 trans. What RPM will I have at 70MPH?

    Oh, you want RPM at 70- (70/51.2 mph)*2000= 2734 RPM at 70 mph

    31x10.5 with 3:73 gears.700R4 trans. What RPM will I have at 70MPH?

    Its simple. For each 1 engine rotation, the driveshaft will turn 1/0.696=1.43 times The rear end lowers the rotation from 1.43 to .383 wheel rotations (1.43/3.73). So, multiply your 0.383 by the circumference of the tire 97.4" for a 31 (approximately, but go and measure your own with a tape...

    You know, we all have trucks. If we could arrange for pickup and delivery using our trucks, set up some kind of network..I am in Colorado and need the RR bedside for my 81. Where is LMC? Where is AMD?

    Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw

    Well, I fixed it now. Pulled the inner cable out and lubed it with graphite spray.Put its back in and no more jumping. It doesn't move at all. Harumph. Measured it while it was out, 62". I do not know where I got 105". The cable slides out of one end or the other and nothing. I fix these...

    Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw

    Hey, my speedo cable is going wonky in my 81 C10 4.1L 250 6 cylinder, with saginaw 3 speed tranny. I put a cable in a few years ago and it was 105", and it was too short by a little. Now I look, and the longest is 80". What? cannot find a good listing and LMC doesn't say how long theirs are...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I drove a ford- A 74 F250. It was so bad that my "Ralph" felt like a caddy lack. It's one of my next customer cars (or truck) coming in next month. If you imagine doing almost nothing to a truck for 50 years you can imagine how it rides. Suspension drooping in front so it rides on its twin...

    Anyone ever make/crimp their own high pressure hoses?

    I install Vintage air systems, and have crimped on the ends with a very fancy crimper that I rent from them. They are available for rental elsewhere. Its easy to do.

    Also, at Napa, don't buy by the foot. If you can handle 20 or 50 feet, a whole "box" is about the cost of 10 feet. This applies with all hoses, loom, and more.

    Looking At Buying 1997 Cheyenne C1500 As Daily Driver Feedback Please

    First off, if its coming from a dealer, you need to have it thoroughly mechanically gone through. Second, Keep both. One or the other will need service at times, and you will be unable to drive. So, keep the honda and the truck. If you cannot afford, your wife is right.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So, I fixed a rattle in my dash. The brake release bracket became loose where it bolts in immediately behind the dash. Rattle gone. I then screwed around with my hood, which was up on one side, and could be pushed down. I tried raising the rubber stop, which did not help. Lowering the latch...

    Doesn't look like these will work with roll up windows, or at least you will have to take the cup out to roll the window up. Just be careful out there.. They look nice, but, only for power windows. Sorry. I also am fighting the cup holder battle.

    Jack question

    I didn't have any of the jack parts so I have a scissor jack behind the seat, and I installed a shelf using those two bolts. I use it for tools when I'm working on it. May make a bolt on box to hold oil and coolant some day.
