    Hydroboost squealing

    Under agressive braking the power steering pump squeals and I get pedal feedback almost feels like ABS feedback and there's not as much stopping power as I'd like. Truck is an 87 one ton with hydroboost. New master cylinder and PS pump. Also worth noting that I replaced the master cylinder due...

    Just built 355 overheating!

    Want to pick y'all's brains. Just got my fresh 355 in the rig and broke in. It has a rebuilt/modified TBI unit and vortec fuel pump to support the power bump from the vortec heads, mild cam (SUM-K1102), headers etc. Ever since during break in process, I can't keep this engine cool. It will sit...

    Gooseneck hitch in flat bed

    Wanting to put a gooseneck set up on my 87, but not sure how to go about it. As you can see the flat bed definitely has a place for one and it's definitely built heavy, the plate inside the spot in the bed is at least 3/8" but but it's not directly over the axle and I'm wondering if the hitch...

    What is this sensor?

    This was in I believe the driver side head, the other side had a knock sensor in it about similar location if I remember correctly . This looks like a coolant temp sensor to me but the plug is not like anything I can find online. So is that what it is? I can't go look at the truck because the...

    Steering gear box replacement or rebuild?

    Steering box is leaky and very sloppy on my 87 R3500 with hydro boost if that matters... Is there a good quality and cost affective reman or new unit out there? Or should I have some one rebuild mine. If that's the way I should go what is the preferred company? Thanks all

    Need TBI 350 build advice

    I have a 1987 GMC R3500. TBI 350, TH400, 4.56 gears. I am looking for more out of the engine. I realize that TBI is not ideal for making more power but I want to keep it as much original as I can as the rest of the truck is basically as it came from factory. I mostly use the truck for pulling...

    Rear 10 Bolt to Dana 60?

    Have a 91 Suburban with a 10 bolt rear end and found a Dana 60 rear from a 198? chevy. What is involved in this swap? Does everything line up as far as springs and shocks, etc.?

    TH350 pink foamy fluid

    Have been troubleshooting why my transmission barely moves the truck forward, and only sometimes has strong reverse. Was replacing the vacuum modulator on the outside of the transmission and stuck the new one in without the bolt in just to see if it solved my problems. It didn't really fix...

    1991 Suburban Manual Lock-Up switch

    I am thinking that I want to wire up a manual TC lock up switch in my 1991 V1500 Suburban. How do I go about doing it? I'm going to be dailying the pig for a while so this is on the top of my list to do before that time comes. Thanks:cheers:

    th350 rebuild

    How hard is it for someone who hates/has never done much transmission work to rebuild and beef up my th350? I found a B&M kit for $400 on summit which is supposed to let it handle a little more abuse too. I might drop the trans and do it myself who has done it?

    700r4 surging

    When I am coasting in my 91 suburban, the engine surges, the rpms going up and down from about 1200 to 1400 rpm (I have a tach). The truck doesn't jerk around or anything but something isn't quite right. If I recall it seems to be more apparent in OD. Is this an early sign of the transmission on...

    400 sbc

    What is the general opinion on these motors? I don't see them around much but I am looking at a lifted 86' with a 400 in it and was wondering if these are anywhere near the same animal as a 350? Should I stay away from it or is it a good engine? I heard something about cooling problems on them...

    Compressor delete

    Has anyone done this on their square? My compressor doesn't work any way so I was thinking about doing this since it might take a little load off of the engine too...

    6.2 daily?

    I'm looking for a new dd and I've been looking at blazers and trucks with the 6.2 and 700r4 and 4x4. I know they get decent mileage but how would I get on a 50 mile loop daily at about 60 mph? Who has input if this is a good choice to daily?

    Carb to TBI swap

    I picked up a 1988 Suburban TBI 350 and I am wanting to swap the TBI set up on to my 78' GMC that has a mildly built carbed 4-bbl (that I am tired of messing with) 350 in it. Who here has done it, how hard is it to do, and where can I find an adapter plate? I can't find one any where! Thanks for...

    Running good then misfiring?

    So I was at Trollhaugen riding the trails this weekend. The truck did great other than the fact that it would run fine for about a minute then start bogging, droning and misfiring real bad on 4 to 6 cylinders (I think) It would loose a lot of power, idle down to about 600 rpm and barely run...

    Tank Relocation

    Who here has relocated their tank to the front of the bed in their square? Even better, has anyone got one of those toolboxes with the fuel tank built in? Lets see them and any ideas for when I ditch the saddles.

    1991 steering column loose and ignition switch binding

    Can a loose steering column cause the ignition switch to bind up? It's a 1991 suburban. Column is loose where it tilts.

    TH350 Clicking and bogging- I am stumped!

    I have something that sounds like a rod knock, and I am also losing power and cutting out going up hills but I am thinking that it is from the transmission. Not really sure what exactly it could be, the thing has about 20,000 miles on a rebuild a few years ago. Another thing that is odd about it...

    Weighing options on a 76

    I'm thinking instead of selling this clean machine, I might make a flatbed for it and stick a motor trans and t case in it. Other than a diesel, what's the best motor and transmission combo that I can get with decent power for driving around and maybe get 15 mpg out of it (don't laugh I'm...
