    Bucket Seat Tutorial

    Looks sharp. Great work! Question: do donor buckets have any mechanism to tilt forward for access to storage behind seats?

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Following this thread with interest. I doubt my 84 k30 dash pad can be saved. Too bent, cracked and warped a little. Expect complete replacement in its future. Meanwhile, dash rug hides a lot but doesn't look great. @WFarm are those bucket seat with center console stock for your k5? I'd like...

    dual battery w/isolator and solar charging

    Living on wheels since 2011 my experience base probably differs from many (most?) here. I've changed tack over this time but initially I had a different camper and truck than now. The trailer stayed hitched and plugged in to the truck since I would unload the motorcycle to get around between...

    2 post shop lift

    I'm thinking about a 4-post lift for a storage unit so free standing is a MUST. Even if I could bolt a 2-post lift to the floor, many have overhead sync hardware. A friend has a 2-post lift with open tops and ramp plates before/after the chain box across the floor between the uprights. I sure...

    vacuum pump-where to buy?

    I just did a pod swap for my 84k30 6.2. Got the belt driven pump assembly for $119 from Amazon: Standard Motor Products Vacuum Pump - VCP108. Turned out to be back ordered so I had to wait several weeks. And I wasn't 100% sure its pod would be compatible. But free returns made it low risk. The...

    Fuel filter puzzle

    I've been scratching my chin about the discrepancy between the WIF system as described in the service manual and what I'm finding on my truck. (Note: sections attached previously, post #5.) Special thanks to BlueOx for real world ground truth. Rereading 84 specs there's mention of standard...

    Any lead(s) for replacement screws?

    Fuel filter puzzle

    Ah! So the WIF lamp means more than just water in fuel. It could mean filter restricted. Either way means service fuel filter. Which suggests better wording for the indicator but I suppose hindsight's 20/20. Thanks again!!

    Fuel filter puzzle

    Thank you! I found the drain valve. That doesn't seem to leak. But I might could pull the draincock screw. Probably the same as the bleeder screw. See how they compare. I wonder if they can be replaced. Plastic could be worn. Hm That vacuum switch tidbit is particularly interesting. The vacuum...

    Fuel filter puzzle

    So I'm bringing back an 84 k30. This past week was my first trip camping in the San Bernardinos. Going up it did okay. Coming down yesterday a leak developed. Apparently fuel from the box filter bleed port. I was concerned it might've been something more serious. But could it just be that the...
