Why You No Hood Emblem?
Steer horns? Did the truck come from Texas? -
What new tools have you got lately?
Why does that square sticker look squatted? I thought you were in TX, not Carolina. ;) -
What new tools have you got lately?
Unless you're running a lot of refrigeration or some other big power hog, 14kW is a lot of generator for most houses. You'll have to work out your loads tho. Don't just spitball it. Too much generator is almost as bad as too little. -
Hydro boost failure
We never had an accumulator go boom, but I believe the seal failures were a chemical compatibility problem. Maybe too much detergent in the ATF? :shrug: We switched to PS fluid and the truck still has the same hydroboost in it from the mid '80s. -
Hydro boost failure
FWIW, we had two hydroboosts fail when the truck was new. Turned out that despite GM's recommendation to use Dexron, you needed Power Steering Fluid. Changed to PS fluid and the failures stopped. Did the O.P. change the fluid when he changed the booster? Maybe a problem was installed. -
Hydro boost failure
It's a hydraulic actuator, full of oil. Of course it can leak into the cab. Ask me how I know. -

Guess The Tool
Go for it. Last one I posted was a pipe cleaner. And I don't mean for plumbing. You might want to do a quick scroll through the thread too. There's still a few unknowns you could have the answer to. -

Doug Nash OD
'84-'88 Corvettes had a Doug Nash 4+3 manual gearbox which was a 4 speed with an overdrive that would work in 2,3 and 4. Don't know if it's the same Nash OD you're talking about or not, but you might try looking at a Corvette forum... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Flame polishing. Little Tykes uses it on their toy cars when they come out of the mold and they recommend it to their customers when they get scratched or scuffed. I didn't know it was workable for our plastics, but it makes sense that it does. Wave a flame fast across the plastic to put a... -

How to measure 14 bolt drum?
AFAIK the only difference in the front brakes was the calipers and pads. The specifics of the JB6 and JB7 brakes thing may be from the '81 redesign. I'd have to check a book that I don't have in front of me now. But I'm pretty sure the idea carried through the whole line.- Blue Ox

How to measure 14 bolt drum?
It's ID. There's two 20 series, standard and C6P heavy duty. It has the 13" drums and uses bigger calipers and D153 pads. Standard uses 11" drums and D52 pads. They all use the same rotors, so I have no idea WTF they're talking about.- Blue Ox

What new tools have you got lately?
Sometimes, if they're stone dead the charger won't start because it doesn't see a battery. If you can hook the battery to a DC power supply or another battery and get some voltage into it the charger might pick it up and charge it. Just a thought. -
Cucv 6.2 diesel CDR valves with tubing
I'm sure GM was facing some regulation or they'd just use a road-draft tube. -
Cucv 6.2 diesel CDR valves with tubing
It's the crankcase ventilation for a diesel. Since there's no vacuum it can be a little more challenging to control than on a gasser.
