    049 Heads

    1984 RCLB Chevy K30, 454, SM465, NP205, D60, 14FF w/4.10 gears I found a pair of complete 049 heads locally for $175. From what I’ve read, they’re a desirable head for daily driver/towing applications. Depending on what I find (2 vs 4 bolt mains, stock bore vs .030, 0.060) when the 454 in my...

    14 bolt FF hub seal orientation

    Thank you for responding, you saved my new brake shoes. I already purchased a new seal and axle flange gasket to correct my error.

    14 bolt FF hub seal orientation

    I’m in the process of installing new brake shoes, drums and hardware and inner and outer wheel bearings and seals in my 84 K30. The rear axle is a 14 bolt full floater. I took pictures during disassembly but am now second guessing whether I may have installed the passenger side seal backwards...

    manual clutch linkage issues

    Sounds as though you may need to adjust your clutch linkage rod.

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    After tearing into the dash with the intention of replacing the brake pedal return spring, I decided against it. Reason being, everything worked fine before I changed the hydroboost unit. Also, the spring, which looks to be entirely enclosed in a steel tube of sorts, appears to be in good...

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    So far I’ve been able to locate three different part numbers for hydroboost pedal rods: -71217 (the one currently installed) -71346 -71586 does anyone happen to know the difference between the rods? -Eric

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    That’s the part number I ordered. @ Craig 85, you’re probably right, you always have been with regard to my truck. If the spring doesn’t fix it, I’ll probably take the hydroboost back to Napa and exchange it for another unit. Also, I don’t know if it means anything but I’ve found that...

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    I’m beginning to think the unit I bought (reman) is defective, which is unfortunate. The part is easy enough to change, is under warranty, and now that I finally figured out how to bleed the PS system that’s not an issue. Just need to find the time again lol going to change the brake pedal...

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    Factory hydroboost. This pedal issue only began after I replaced a the hydroboost unit due to it leaking all over everything. Eric

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    There is a low hum when I hold the pedal depressed but it is nothing like the groaning I had before. As far as the pedal being sloppy, the brake pedal has maybe 1/8” of play side to side and maybe 1/4” forward and back/up and down before it starts meeting resistance. -Eric

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    -put yellow teflon tape on all of the flare fittings and confirmed they are tight, not cross threaded and not leaking. -replaced both rubber return lines. That is the PS pump to Hydroboost and PS pump lines. I already replace both pressure hoses. -replaced all of the hose clamps in the system...

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    Quite possible. If the vacuum pump diagnostic strategy doesn’t lead me to a potential leak, I plan to use a tracer dye and UV light. Missing out on the limited nice weather days here in PA...

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    I have spent approximately 100 minutes turning the steering wheel lock to lock with the engine off since my last post. Each "lap" takes approximately 50 seconds due to me overfilling the system so that I can watch the fluid level from inside the cab. As such, I have completed well over 100...

    What kind of work are you looking to have done? I lived in Surprise & Litchfield Park for approximately 10 years and had worked done at several shops across the valley. Phoenix Rack and Axle at 32nd Street & Washington is one of them. However, I’d suggest exercising your second amendment...
