    Nothing happens when turning key. Better results when in neutral. Tried changing the Neutral Safety Switch

    Alright. I’m at a loss on this. I’ve gone thru the steering column and everything seems to be working as it should. I thought the rack and sector gear might be broken, but you can see in the video that’s it’s moving like it should when I turn the key. Right now nothing is happening when I turn...

    Nothing happens when turning key. Better results when in neutral. Tried changing the Neutral Safety Switch

    Nope, haven’t figured it out yet. I took a break from it due to frustration. I did get the steering wheel apart. I’m almost to the pinion, but it looks like its intact and working. I’ll look over what you’ve described and see if that’s it. Appreciate the response!

    Nothing happens when turning key. Better results when in neutral. Tried changing the Neutral Safety Switch

    This issue started slowly about a month ago and got worse quickly. At first I would turn the key repeatedly and after 3rd or 4th try it would start. Then it got to where it was 8-9 tries. Next I started putting the truck in neutral and had better success initially but even that has gotten...

    Taillights & blinkers driving me nuts. Not sure what else to check

    So, I ended up going back thru all my wiring. The issue was the ground between the bed and frame. I added a grounding strap between the two and everything is great. I think if there was just enough weight in the correct spot on the bed, the two would touch and ground. Or if there was moisture...

    Taillights & blinkers driving me nuts. Not sure what else to check

    I’m sure you guys can relate to this update….decided to pull the truck in the garage today since it was raining so I could troubleshoot. My wife happened to be in the garage as I was backing up. I back up and shut it off. She gets excited “You did it?!? You fixed it??! The lights are on and...

    Taillights & blinkers driving me nuts. Not sure what else to check

    79 Silverado stepside About a year ago I upgraded that lights to LED’s so they would be brighter. Everything worked fine. If the truck sits for too long, there’s times the rear lights won’t work at all (blinkers, sidelights on rear, brake lights). The couple times I’ve fixed it by...

    Having some rub on inner fender well

    I finally got my stance the way I want it, but am not encountering some rubs above the tire on the inner fender well on the passenger side. I've not driven it much yet, but it rubbed twice after getting to the bottom of a hill. The truck is a 79 Silverado stepside. Originally, I installed 3"...

    Size bolt/screw for vent windows to attach to door

    Anyone know the bolt/screw sizes used to attach the vent window frame to the door on a 79 c10? Was planning to replace them, but LMC doesn't sell them separately it appears. My son apparently threw the old ones away (teaching moment :) ). Thanks!

    What glass setting tape for vent window? (No LMC)

    I’m ready to replace the seals on my vents. However, I need some glass setting tape. I ordered it from LMC with some other random things I needed but now that box is lost in transit to me and LMC keeps dragging their feet to send a replacement. Has anyone used other tape? If so, what size do I...

Is it possible to order new plugs? If so, want are they called or where can I get them? currently the only thing I...

    79 C10 Blinker issues - Faint dash signal

    Just started having issues where my blinkers are not working. When I turn the driver side on, the bulb lights up very faintly. If I click the passenger side on, it sometimes flashes once brightly and then goes off. The flasher and fuse is good. My back up lights don't come on at all. My...

    79 Silverado - brake issues after lowering

    I just lowered the front 3” with drop spindles. When putting everything back together, the steel hose to the caliber had to be bent slightly to keep the rubber brake hose from running the caster nut on the spindle. This is common when lowering from what I’ve read. I never disconnected the brake...
