    ‘83 K5 350/4wd: aftermarket oil psi switch/sender/choke heater wiring question w/pics and schematic

    Hey no problem. For whatever reason I find the wiring on these trucks to be pretty straight forward. Glad I could help.

    ‘83 K5 350/4wd: aftermarket oil psi switch/sender/choke heater wiring question w/pics and schematic

    Here is a snip of the 1984 wiring diagram from the GM service manual. I can't say what changes there may be from 83 to 84. There seem to be some differences with your Haynes diagram. It's been a while since I wired this up myself, but my understanding of the pink/white wire (circuit 350) is...

    ‘83 K5 350/4wd: aftermarket oil psi switch/sender/choke heater wiring question w/pics and schematic

    I think your understanding of that circuit is a little backwards. The reason the choke is wired with the oil pressure sensor is to prevent the choke from opening when the key is left on. The way it operates is the sensor closes and passes current at a predetermined oil pressure. Something like...

    700R4 Information Thread

    Thanks for the really fast responses! I'll have to pick up a new drum I guess.

    700R4 Information Thread

    I was hoping to avoid buying a new drum as this one wasn't warped noticeably and wasn't the cursed first design. Also I already have a replacement band, whichever comes in this kit here. My old (and new) frictions measure out to .07. I have the aluminum piston. Would you still say that my only...

    700R4 Information Thread

    Hey @NickTransmissions do you have a source for different sized belleville plates or backing plates on the reverse input drum? When I went to put mine back together my clearances seem to be too tight. Between the backing plate and the snap ring I'm seeing .025 to .030 which by the book is too...

    1991 Burb 2500 4x4

    Looks like a nice rig. I've got no real insight other than whoever ends up purchasing it is going to be one happy camper. Love the red on red. Good luck with your sale!

    Davis Off Road, crossover steering???

    Those power steps for regular cabs with saddle tanks are really slick. I wasn't aware that there were any kits for that.

    Weird solenoid looking thing

    Yeah the factory charcoal canister is pretty slick. There is a thread on here on what each connection is for here. The short of it is the vent line from the fuel tank runs to one of the ports on it. One of the ports runs to the same line as PCV vacuum. Another runs to I believe ported vacuum...

    Summit Brand Headers???

    I haven't bought their headers, but in my experience Summit quality is pretty good. Not getting top of the line but I think they are good quality for the money on most things. My summit brand carb and alternator have been great so far. Also they are the best place to buy car batteries. No core...

    A Technical Comedy [Only After the Fact]

    Crazy tale! If you are ever in the situation again I think you can just pull the pink 12v feed wire to the HEI. It's a little hard to reach, but it slides down right out of the HEI. Depending on how worn it is you can often get it out with just your thumb nail.

    1987 GMC Jimmy 4x4 6" lift body mount bushing replacement

    I've always heard that for body mounts you want rubber and not poly. These aren't race cars, you want a little give in your bushing. Lmc and most of the other big parts places sell body bushing kits. Your lift shouldn't be a consideration for which bushings to buy. With suspension lifts the...

    Electrical help identification.

    Rockauto has a decent connection of connectors, although their names don't always match the actual connector. Helps to have a picture of your connector to compare against.

    Prebent brake lines for a 87 R30 long bed regular cab?

    The nickel copper lines are awesome for doing it yourself. I did my whole truck without a bender, just used my hands and some sockets for tighter bends. Flares super easy, is corrosion resistant, and easy to handle without special tools. It's the only thing I'm going to use going into the...
