    1987 Chevy 4x4

    If that is Diesel it should be ok, but you need to know that the odometer on those only goes to 99999, and yours may have flipped once.. or twice.. or more. Pretty sure mine has, but I am running on an engine rebuild. Welcome in!

    87 TBI runs rough - Maybe performance chip needed?

    I thought as much. But what to do to help?

    87 TBI runs rough - Maybe performance chip needed?

    EGR? Delete? It's the roller cam. I did not put it in, but I am trying to figure out why it is running like this =( It's always been.. rough, since I owned it. It's REALLY bad with the AC on, unless on the highway. Could be it needs something simpler, I suppose.

    87 TBI runs rough - Maybe performance chip needed?

    I have an 87 350 with TBI on an Edelbrock intake, with the heavy roller cam, Hedman headers. With the AC on my performance seriously suffers, but it can be really finicky without the AC too. Is there a chip I can swap that might make her run a bit smoother?

    700R4 worth anything?

    Wow, that is a lot of great information! Thank you. I will give them a call and ask. I plan on putting her in the shop for the fix in probably February. The main thing I am worried about is having her in the shop and not sitting outside. Too easy for someone to spot it and target her for...

    700R4 worth anything?

    It's definately after market! I will take a picture and post it on my own thread later. Thanks, yes. I look forward to driving it a long time. I have been using it to move around things around the house with just 1-2 gear, still running great.

    700R4 worth anything?

    LOL, yes. Exactly what I mean. The little dial that allows me to pick the speed that the Torque Converter locks up at doesn't look a bit stock, nor how it is wired into my fusebox. Sounds pretty awesome. I have been driving it as a primary vehicle for a good solid 2 years since I pried it...

    700R4 worth anything?

    This is indeed an R10, the engine has been rebuilt multiple times, and PO had one of those "Torque Converter Lock Out" things installed for better economy. The shop I talked to had said they would put a shift kit in it as part of the rebuild. I was referred to this shop in particular by my...

    700R4 worth anything?

    My 700r4 just recently lost 3-4 gear, I was planning on having it rebuilt for about $600-700. I understand they are stronger rebuilt. Still, I wouldn't mind a spare, if the other guy doesn't want it. I live in Alabama.

    How many O2 Sensor are on a 350 Tbi ? 87 k5 blazer

    Mine only has one, and it was not originally a powered one. When I bought mine it had one about 3 feet down the header, and altered to a 3 wire sensor. From what I have been told, it originally had a 1 wire sensor right on the stock manifold. Who says there are 3 on an 87?

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Old77 - I have no idea why you think that would be an $800 dollar truck. Yes, the SEAT needs work and it needs paint. The engine/transmission alone make it worth at least $1500-$2000. From the look, that truck has no rust, so good body. What I am seeing: Clean lines, no rust...

    Locking Tailgate Handle

    Can't find products for a Square anywhere, but I did go to Pop&Lock's website to see if they might have some old stock or ideas. I do wonder if the S10 tailgate handle is close enough...

    Locking Tailgate Handle

    Non easy solutions welcome too, I suppose. I was trying to figure out if some of the tailgate handle/lock combos for the newer Chevy's might work in this case, but I don't know anyone who has tried.

    New Guy with K10

    Absolutely Classic! Love to own that one, looking forward to seeing what you do with her, though the patina on that paint is hard to duplicate.

    Locking Tailgate Handle

    I have been hunting around the web for a tailgate handle that locks, or a solution to lock the tailgate on my 87 LWB. The tailgate itself seems to be from a much older truck... probably the same one my front bumper and passenger door came from, along with gosh knows what else. Anyone seen...

    Less Exhaust Pressure on one side of engine

    Rock Auto for the win, I think. I will try that if I can't get it tight enough. It's fine until the AC comes on.. then.. GUINEA PIG! SQUEEEEEE SQUEEEEEE!

    Less Exhaust Pressure on one side of engine

    thanks everyone for the help. My exhaust setup is: Hedmann Headers.. to Cat (per side) then muffler, then tailpipe. Maybe it was my imagination, but I fought the headers (and I won) and got the spark plugs changed out, turned out they were autolites and all were rusty, many were fouled...

    Less Exhaust Pressure on one side of engine

    MadO - I live in Alabama, we don't even have vehicle inspections. I just wish I knew how to weld well enough to do that. I don't suppose there is some kind of kit I can use to join without welding?

    Oxygen Sensor Frustrations

    chengny: Wiring looked good, been raining a lot recently so I get wet working on the truck. I am going to try changing the plugs to see if that might be the issue. I noticed that pressure on that side of the exhaust is less than the pressure on the other side. I figure that either bad plugs...

    Less Exhaust Pressure on one side of engine

    Well, the O2 is showing a trouble in the ODB, but it is off and on. I was going to change the O2, but maybe it is a sign of bad plugs, or a bad Cat. My thoughts are plugs first.

    Less Exhaust Pressure on one side of engine

    I noticed last night that I have noticably less pressure on my left hand exhaust over my right hand exhaust. This is the same side my O2 sensor is installed on. Truck is an 87 with TBI, headers. I still haven't replaced the spark plugs, so that is up this weekend. The only other...

    Oxygen Sensor Frustrations

    Ok, I have an 87 with TBI, and I still have some stuttering and such. The ECM claims the issue is the oxygen sensor. I tried taking a brush to it and cleaning it off... to find that it is NOT the stock O2 sensor, but a 3 wire job that is patched into some places. I can send photos if you...

    Looking at buying an 83 K10 with broken driveline

    I opted out, visited my friend... wow. That truck.. yeah. Thanks for the great advice guys, you did a fantastic job of making sure I was ready to pass on a disaster, and I am. He has 7 squares, a show quality Bel Aire, Chevelle, Mach I, DMC, the list goes on. I set my eyes on two short...
