    Tailgate Hinges

    Mine seem very loose. Was wondering if anyone knows of fleetside hinges that are urethane like on the stepsides (below), or know if they can be used instead of metal ones.

    Stripped intake manifold bolt help

    Scotty D, thank you. You are the man, that did the trick. No more leak. I can't believe I waited so long to address this.

    Latest thinking on replacement gauges

    I have an extra LMC tach conversion I used for my 1987. Fuel gauge is a little off, but the rest of the kit is complete. You just need to get all the other gauges. I can't offer it for sale though. I don't have enough posts. Oh well too bad.

    Tach conversion kits

    Ordered this kit and had no problem with the install. After a few miles the gas gauge stopped reading accurately. I called LMC and told them everything I had done to troubleshoot with no fix. They offered to send me another gauge, it was the day before Christmas. A week later a whole new...

    Stripped intake manifold bolt help

    That worked!! Longer bolt tightened down nice. Still cannot confirm that it fixed the leak though. Hopeful!

    Stripped intake manifold bolt help

    After searching for the leak, I decided to check to see if all the bolts were tight. Found one near the back of the manifold (number 5) just turned and did not tighten. Whoever did the intake work dicked that up. Can I use a helicoil or other type of thread insert without pulling the manifold off?

    Stock cassette radio light change asked differently

    No digital. Stock Delco cassette radio. Does not look like the above photos. No opening on top, like the non cassette radio.

    LMC Tach Conversion

    I must say the package they sent was fairly complete. Minus the 4x4 red lens, it had just about everything else needed. New Tach to replace the gigantic fuel gauge, and a new smaller gas gauge to fill the void where there was nothing. New printed circuit, black plastic and clear cover. New...

    Speedometer wire question

    That makes sense. Don't have cruise that I know of, guess it's standard issue. Thanks.

    Speedometer wire question

    Can't seem to find the answer, not here or the Chilton manual. What is the wire coming from the back of the speedometer. It is screwed down but does not appear to connect to anything.

    Anyone know how to change the radio light bulb?

    Thanks guys, Italian here! It is the stock Delco w/cassette player. I'll be digging into it later. Appreciate the help. Here's the edit. My radio does not look like the one posted above. I guess since it has the cassette player, the light is located internally somewhere. Thanks anyway. Now I...

    Anyone know how to change the radio light bulb?

    Looked high & low. Can not find info anywhere. Is it possible or must the whole radio be dismantled?

    Cab Steps

    Yes, CARR hoops. I'm 200# and they are solid. Can't speak to the slipperyness, I'm in FLA.

    EGR system failure

    Have not had an EGR on this vehicle for years, all of a sudden the service engine light comes on, checked the codes it came up #32 (EGR system failure). Turn engine off, turn it back on and drive and no light. No seat of the pants difference in the way it runs, very smooth by the way. What would...

    Heavy duty tow hook option?

    My 1987 V10 with RPO V76 Just wanted to add that although not officially called the "plow package" also listed on my RPO's is Z75 Quad Front Shocks, K22 94 Amp Generator, F60 Front HD Springs. Can't imagine what kind of rare HD tow hooks would have been on.

    I need help with fuel tanks on my 87 dual tank

    Following. This has happened twice to me so far. Truck just dies. I switch tanks, and the truck runs. I switch tanks again and the truck runs. Weeks go by and the same thing occurs again.

    GMT800 NBS seats in a Square Body....

    Yeah, I saw the work you did, very nicely done. Unfortunately I don't want to get rid of my tanks and you have confirmed (what I thought ), what I got is about as good as I will get. Thanks, you saved me a lot of work!

    GMT800 NBS seats in a Square Body....

    Old77, I know this is an old thread, hopefully you can recall some of it. I did the 06 Tahoe seat swap. Got the electric an everything is working fine. Not a lot of adjustment room at all. I removed everything off the bottom of the seat, down to the rails. I installed some steel plates and...

    Great site you have here...

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. A special thanks to the Admins keeping an eye out for me, I assure you I am not using my real name. Just because I think people are after me, doesn't mean they're not.
