    No start - fuel issue?

    I'm about 10 miles outside of Galisteo (Santa Fe county). The tank switch is a very real possibility. When I trip it, I can hear it go "thunk" beneath the floor, so I always assumed it worked, but it very well may not. I've only ever used the passenger tank twice since having the truck...if gas...

    No start - fuel issue?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I haven't had a chance to look at the truck today but have been thinking about it all day. Unfortunately, the biggest hurdle I have right now is my geographic location...I'm caretaking for a large ranch in remote New Mexico for the winter and have little to no...

    No start - fuel issue?

    1977 K20 SBC, 4bbl carb, no crazy mods. 30gal saddle tanks, I only ever fill the driver side. About 6 months ago, I was driving my truck up a long incline on the interstate and it experienced a surging/loss of power issue. It bucked and puttered like it was running out of gas. I was doing a...

    Show us your lights

    Those ones worked out perfect! An effortless match with that bumper and angling them out like that was a great call. Rad!

    Door window rain guards.

    Don't ever buy this product. Flextape is a scam. Worst money I ever spent with a company credit card.

    Cardboard thing behind seat.

    98 bucks?!? How the heck does that happen? That shelf looks perfect, spot on, but a hundred bones for some sheet metal shelves...geez... Wish I'd gotten the memo of the original units being valuable. I chucked mine in a literal dumpster

    GM paper or K&N hi- flow filter, Worth the cost in a stock truck ?

    I just put a "Green Filter" in my truck. Similar concept to K&N but a little more engineered. I've really enjoyed it and I think it is worth the extra money considering it will last as long as the truck. A one-time investment of $50-75 or a yearly/bi-yearly purchase of what, $10-20? Think about...

    Engine overheating

    Jester brings up a good point about the plow. If you are driving with it in the up position, that would be a huge change in designed air flow over the radiator. Coupled with a potential water pump/clutch etc. issue that would settle it I think. All mentioned fixes are quick, cheap and easy. If...

    Does my engine have a chance of living?

    I would say so. I've started using Mobil 10-30 since I started that thread (I live in cold country) and my truck has been happy with it. I also am using a bottle of Hyperlube with every change. I have no way of proving if that stuff is legit or not but I like the idea of it and it's affordable.
