    My 350 shutting off while driving

    Trying not to be rude, so don't take it that way, but based on the questions you are asking it would be easier just to take it to someone.

    My 350 shutting off while driving

    I would find a local shop or mechanic that you trust. An engine randomly shutting off twice in a day could be any number of things. Has the oil issue stopped since you had the rear main replaced. 2 quarts every 400 miles is a lot. Also, is there a reason you think it has low compression or...

    What did you pay for a square

    I bought my truck (77 K 20) in 2004 for $500.00. Body was rusted and hanging off of it. Drive train 350/350 and all the 4 WD components worked great. Drug it home to a friends house and we took the body off. While looking for a body (ended up with an 86) we stripped the frame and coated with...

    LMC Headliner question

    I thought about the bungee cords but have a new paint job so thought about just using another set of hands. Thanks for the info on the screw holes.

    LMC Headliner question

    So curious, as I finally plan to install the headliner in the next week or so. I temporarily installed all the new interior trim to make sure all the holes lined up before I started messing with the headliner. All the trim went in without an issue. Now when I get some time with my neighbor we...

    Bondo question

    Thanks, I've seen that link. That is what got me to the bondo. After reading through that thread I went to youtube and more people were using bondo or fiberglass than were using spray from.

    Bondo question

    Thanks for the info. I am going to look around to see if anyone local does them. I've seen some with bondo to just fill the cracks and some with a complete bondo skim coat.

    Bondo question

    I am thinking a bout repairing my dash before I drop $400 plus on a new one. If it works great, if not then I'll buy one. Watching a lot of youtube videos I see a lot of people using bondo. Some fill the cracks with it and many people end up putting a skim coat on the dash and basically treat...

    How To Refurbish Your Dashpad

    So I am curious for those of you who did these repairs a few years ago.... I am thinking of doing mine and spoke with a body man about this process and he said in his opinion it is likely to crack right back in the same repaired areas. I am curious if you guys have experienced this or if the...

    Vent Windows

    Did you buy a full kit that had all the hardware in it or did you just buy a few pieces. I too thought $200.00 plus per side was high but then someone told me a full kit with all the seals, latches, etc. was around $130.00. I honestly didn't ask if that was per side of for both sides. If...

    Vent Windows

    Has anyone sent their in to precision lately and have a ball park on the price? At first I wasn't interested because I had heard it was around 250.00 per side. Which I thought was too high. But someone yesterday told me if you buy all of the new parts to completely rebuild mine the cost is...

    Vent Windows

    I am thumbing my way through all the videos and posts on vent window rebuilds. For those that I have done it I have a couple questions. First off I have a friend who owns an automotive glass company and he is going to do the labor for me so I am just shopping for the parts. From what I have...

    Best aftermarket antenna option

    I live in between several decent size cities. All my other vehicles can pick up stations from each of the three cities I am in the middle of. I assume there is a standard antenna wire I can buy that goes into the radio and to the windshield mount?

    Best aftermarket antenna option

    Slowly making some improvement on my 86 K 20. I added an aftermarket stereo years ago and at the time the aftermarket fenders didn't have hole for a stereo antenna so I have been listening to CD's. I am curious if any of the "hidden" type antennas are worth a crap. I also need a new...

    Wind noise is running me stir crazy

    I know this is an old thread but I saw a tip for finding wind noise on one of the "car shows" on the TV this past Sunday morning. The guy turned the key on to power and turned the fan/heater on high. Then with a stethoscope he exited the car and went round the seals etc and could hear the wind...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    I got all 4 lights replaced and everything worked. I might have a loose connection somewhere as one of the lights was not on but I reached in from the hood and wiggled the harness and it came on. I had to leave for work after that but at least all the lights are on. I still didn't have a high...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    Thanks At this point Im just going to buy all 4 new stock style lights. If they are not working correctly I will dig into the wiring issues after that. I am guessing several of them have burnt out over the years and I did not know it.

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    When we first painted this truck years ago we were putting the bulbs back in. We had an electrical problem we could not track down and come to find out we had put a wrong bulb in one of the cab lights. I can't remember now (it's been about 15 years) but I think one of the bulbs from the tail...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    I had an earlier question and I don't want it to get buried. Did the factory headlights have a dual filament in the top row that would also kick on for the high beams or were they the same in either mode and the bottom row kicked on for the high beams?

    Click no start

    Sorry for digging up an old post but wanted some input from the pro's. I had the same thing in my 86, click no start. I replaced the starter and was talking to the guy at Oreilly. He didn't even test it because he said if the solenoid is bad that won't show up on the test they do. I put the...

    Dumb down headlight relays for me.

    So now I have another question. Like I said before I hardly if ever drive the truck at night. So I went out today to get a look at the headlights to see which ones were working and which ones weren't. When I drove it the other night I could tell a light was out but my bright light indicator on...
