    Need help with Parking Brake cable routing on my 84 K20

    You still exist… lol. I haven’t messed with my brakes since I posted here in 2020. If your cables don’t freely move in the housings, I would replace them. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the OEM braided version. They only had the black plastic sleeves. Definitely keep the stock lengths as you...

    Hvac blend door question...

    The vacuum pod on the kick panel is for Max A/C. It ties to the pod on the cowl area behind the hood(exterior of truck). There is another pod near the transmission hump that controls defrost and heat to the floor.

    Need Help With 82 C10 A/C Vacuum Lines.

    I listed the part number a couple posts above. FYI they are getting rare. They have been discontinued since 2011. eBay prices start at $180. GM 470333 or ACDelco 15-71518 Someone has it listed as a Master Vacuum switch. GM only lists it as a Switch Assembly.

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    Years ago I purchased them at Napa Auto Parts. Hopefully you have one nearby.

    Mr Gasket makes some thin ones. Just make sure your lugs are long enough.

    Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?

    One thing to remember in all this @Frankenchevy lives in California and whether it’s gas or diesel he probably won’t be able to tune it. I left CA 3.5 years ago and emissions have only gotten worse since leaving. My understanding is if you do have a tune, it has to be a CARB approved tune...

    @Frankenchevy there’s always this option. 8.1L. https://trucksales.uhaul.com/Vehicles/Details?postal=94518&sid=815064&equip=JH1707B

    NP203 Speedometer Gear

    My 77 and 79 203 trucks came with one of these speedometer adapters from the factory.

    Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?

    I've had three 8.1's. Loved them all. The one thing I will say is make sure it has 4.10 gears (GT5). My favorite of the 3 was this '01 2500HD. I had 285 tires, true dual exhaust, a K&N cold air kit and a Hypertech chip (that's all they had back in '03). It ran great. I could pass people on...

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    Sorry late in the game here. The grey/silver truck was my '79 K15 that came with an old/stiff Rancho 4" lift. Back then it was wearing 15x10" wheels with 33x12.50x15's. The front fenders were trimmed when I purchased the truck. I went to a 4" Tuff County EZ Ride lift when I did the 3/4 ton...

    2000s hydroboost into a square

    Since someone posted on this old thread I’ll add some more info I’ve learned. Not sure if it will work on a Square Body though. The original post was asking about putting on a GMT 800 series hydroboost. I’m part of a couple Suburban 2500 groups. Quite a few guys have switched over to a 2011...

    Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454

    The brackets I purchased are designed for a Sanden (508 in my case) compressor. Although the HR6 is similar in size I don’t think the it would work with my brackets.

    Tire Size for K10 Heavy Half

    Those wheels look like a 16" wheel, not the standard 15" that would be on it from the factory. If that's the case you could probably run a 285/75R16. Those are only 32.8" tall and about 10.5" wide. If you have an 8" wide wheel or less it shouldn't rub.

    Hello From NorCal

    You have a California HD emissions truck, so no cats. Just make sure all the vacuum lines are connected correctly and all the parts on the air cleaner sticker are in place or you will fail. Check the timing too. FYI look at your fill pipes. They are probably larger diameter than the standard...
