    Custom dash 4x10 replacement

    Had these new 2.75 dash speakers laying around from a previous project. Decided to make a bracket for them to mount in the dash where the 4x10 was. Turned out pretty decent. Easy afternoon project with some 1/8” ABS sheet and minimal tools.

    Fuse and ground block connectors

    So, I think a I’ve found the pack of multi colored connectors from Autowire @ Summit to tap into some of the empty fuse block spots. But, does anyone know of a part number and where to get a factory type connector to use with this ground block under the dash? I’d prefer to use an appropriate...

    wiper/turn signal switch question

    So I mistakenly ordered the wrong wiper/turn signal stalk for my 87 Custom Deluxe, which needed a new stalk due to the old plastic being brittle and breaking. Truck has cruise but no intermittent wipers. I ordered the stalk for cruise with intermittent wipers. Are the plugs the same, so I can...

    Wiring electric choke TBI to carb swap

    I’m in need of a keyed 12v source for the electric choke on my Qjet that is replacing the TBI. I’m wondering if any of the TBI harness or smog pump harness could provide an easy keyed power source for this purpose, since all that wiring is right there on the passenger side of intake anyway...

    TBI coil pigtail question

    So, working on the TBI to carb swap. Can somebody tell me what this pigtail with the white wire is on the coil plug harness ? It was taped to the wire loom. It’s an 87. Wondering if it would’ve been for a factory tach option?

    Auxiliary fan replacement

    So, the OE auxiliary fan finally bit the dust. Sourced a nice replacement from Summit- made by same company that made the original. Mounted it to the OE cage/bracket easily, cut the connector off the original and soldered it onto the new fan wires. If anyone needs to replace theirs, this is...

    Fuel tank/pump replacement

    Well, thought I’d just install the new pump assembly- but this tank isn’t looking so good inside. It’s a Spectra replacement 40 gallon that PO put in prob 12+ years ago. Old assembly says Airtex on top, but looks like the actual pump has been replaced with a Bosch unit. Guess I’ll order a tank-...

    Suburban rear AC

    Anybody within 3-4 hours of Bham AL got some Burb rear AC parts? Mine didn't come with, so would like to find the overhead unit along with the trim panel that covers the lines going down the passenger pillar. Will be doing an aftermarket rear setup w/custom lines most likely, unless I can just...

    OEM trailer wiring Suburban R20

    Ok guys, I see the harness coming out of the firewall on engine side- runs along the frame rail driver side, has the typical yllw/dk grn/lt grn/brn wires, and the two wires for the fuel pump. After pulling all the tape off and studying all these splices, I just can’t imagine this is the way GM...

    TH400 leak around speedo drive

    See what you guys think. Pretty sure this is the source of some small leakage from my trans. 1987 R20 Burb w/TH400 and 454. Is this something that I can repair myself or need a trans shop for? If I can, what would be required?

    big block starter replacement

    So, need to replace starter on my 87 454. Don't trust the usual auto parts stores remans, maybe the Napa with lifetime warranty. Not a terribly hard job but don't care to lay on the ground and do it over again cause of a crappy part. Is there any advantage to the mini starters? Engine is...

    aux trans cooler question

    So, about to do a radiator flush and replace all my hoses but I'm a bit puzzled about the aux trans cooler. Truck has the factory HD trailering package w/FF rear axle and 13" JB7 brakes (3/4, 454). Also has the factory engine oil cooler. Truck is very original overall with only 2 previous...

    Anyone used the Glowshift gauge setup

    It's almost half of the others. My biggest gripe is it has no odometer, just a tripmeter. But otherwise, seems like an option.

    dual battery w/isolator and solar charging

    So, looking to put in two fresh batteries and make a dual setup. I have a diode isolator. But, I see these Cyrix isolators, and I'm trying to figure out how I could wire in a simple cheap solar trickle charger to keep both batteries topped off, as this won't be a daily driver. Anyone done this?

    part ID & smog pump removal

    About to swap from TBI to carb (NO comments from the TBI lovers, you have no idea my situation and I don't care how well yours runs), trying to eliminate anything not needed. For now, I plan to remove the TBI adapter and run the factory manifold. Also would like to eliminate the smog pump -...

    dash gauge bezel mods

    Anybody still doing the Autometer gauges in the factory bezel, with new ideas for such? I have a 90% complete set of new guages, and a spare bezel. Trying to avoid spending the high $$ for the various pre-packaged setups for our trucks. Gloshift isn't so bad at about $650 ish, but, the speedo...

    454 water pump replacement

    Going to do a cooling system flush before starting intake swap, and I'm going to replace radiator and heater hoses, etc while I'm at it. Truck has 108K, but has been sitting in the hot AL sun on concrete for the last 10 years, so I'm going to be proactive and replace most if not all of the...
