    Fixing and finding backup light wires 78k10

    I don't have the column shifter in so when I turned it i felt no resistance and don't think it was doing anything. Ill have to put the shifter back in and try again. I would have done that yesterday but I was busy pulling out an engine in a subaru.

    2 inch Body Lift

    Im not into body lifts but Back in the day I made my own body lift for a friend's truck. We bought a 2' piece of 3" nylon round stock from somewhere and cut it to desired thickness. It worked out great. Downside is steering shaft issues and floor shift and bumper height.

    Beauty Rings/With or Without

    Ive always liked the rallies with the rings on. They don't look too bad without but it makes them look more dressy with. Maybe there not good for burnouts lol

    88 burb blower motor keeps blowing fuse and poor air flow.

    Check the above for flow and fan issues. The reason it only runs on high is because the blower motor resistor has failed. Its located near the fan on blower housing.

    4L80E fresh rebuild, no reverse. **UPDATED DEEP PAN MOD ISSUES**

    Thats crazy what you found. Ive got lots of common style clear fuel filters where the elements were just floating inside and doing nothing as well, all different sizes and types.

    hypothetical, mpg

    Propane is cheaper but you lose in power. The more torque you have the easier it is to move the brick

    hypothetical, mpg

    Ive thought about this myself but haven't done it yet. Build a smaller displacement small block like a 305 for torque power. They even make mileage grind cams i think. Get a 2 barrel dual jet 210 probably taller gears than 3.73,like 3.08s and a 5 speed manual transmission. Should be able to get...

    6.2 Diesel Block Heater Time

    Possibly your injection pump is getting weak. How does it restart after its fully warm and say you go into a store and come out to start it. Slow cranking should be looked into.

    6.2 Diesel Block Heater Time

    Only need about 3ish hours or so to make a big difference. I used to use a timer to turn it on 3 hours before leaving for work. Might experiment with different amounts of time to dial it in.
