    Tach Wire on Distributor but No Tach

    I had a factory tach in my old ‘80 K10, the harness had a single wire to a square plug that only connected to the tach terminal on the cap. The ignition wire was a separate single wire connector. I still believe your 2 wire connector is not original, you need to trace the wire from the tach...

    Tach Wire on Distributor but No Tach

    Wait! I could be wrong because it's been a looong time so @bucket etc check me.... Isn't there a 2 wire plug that's installed close to the body of the cap and the tach wire would be in an outer spot labeled "tach"? I'm thinking the 2 wire plug goes to the module. @JKRamsey1991 I can say with...

    K30 DRW Brake Drum Removal HELP!!!

    Meh. Not stupid, just a first. You’d be amazed at how many people don’t struggle getting it apart but do screw up not putting that race in correctly.

    K30 DRW Brake Drum Removal HELP!!!

    @Trucksareforwork since this is your first (and I didn’t watch the video to see what she covered), when you replaced the outer race did you - Drive the race in > Install the lock ring > Then flip the hub over and drive the race back tight against the lock ring?

    How to lube the clutch peddle?

    For me it was easiest to access that pivot bolt by removing the instrument cluster.

    Driving full time 4wd with front drive shaft removed

    You can drive it like that, you'll just have to put the tcase in the HI LOC position (instead of HI). If you remove the driveshaft and try to drive it in HI it's not going to move, it'll behave like it' in neutral. Imo, aside from preventing wear, or maybe you're dealing with bad parts, there's...

    Are these blocks factory?

    I’ve got a 9 leaf pack off of a K30 on the back of my Blazer, just because there’s a lot doesn’t mean they’re stiff.

    New to THIS forum.

    Welcome! Just fyi, the pass side motor mount frame bracket is located differently for a 292 than a 250/V8 etc so make sure you’re prepared for that.

    Hide engine wiring

    There is a 6"~7" tube that attaches to a bellhousing bolt but it doesn't protect the whole run of wiring, it's mostly a guide to keep the wires off of the collector of the exhaust manifold. Beyond the manifold the wiring is typically exposed. I have the tube and then some high temp heat sleeve...

    Definitely minimize and hide it.

    14 Bolt Differential Recommendations

    Yes, typical open carrier BUT do some research if you plan a gear ratio swap because I'm not sure if the 3.21 carrier is the same as 3.73/4.10 carrier or the 4.56+ carriers.

    Should I do the small block 350 Swap?

    If you swap it, keep the existing radiator. The diesel radiator is noticeably bigger and won’t hurt to have. You’ll have to adapt the radiator hoses but it’ll be worth it.

    SBC to BBC Radiator Swap Questions

    Real problems with gaps are related to openings between the shroud and radiator allowing the fan to pull air around the radiator instead of through it. The top piece you’re missing is just a plastic cover that spans the area between the metal mounts. Diesel and gas radiators are different...

    Hide engine wiring

    I like the look of the woven cover the best and a nice touch is a short “collar” of heat shrink tubing at the ends to prevent fraying. That said, I use split loom on my Blazer because that’s what GM used and I just don’t want to taken the time to change it all since it’s not a show truck...

    Dana 60 axle play

    Don’t forget to check the bushings at the top of the shackle too.

    Dana 60 axle play

    The bushings are really just a replacement (in sets) as needed so I wouldn’t do anything unless you see a problem. Look for things like the mounting bolt not being centered in the spring eye or cracks / chunks missing in the exposed shoulders.

    Maybe the little bumperettes or push thingys?

    14 Bolt Differential Recommendations

    Fwiw, the Detroit Locker experience I mentioned above was the same locker in 2 different axles and one of the trucks changed between manual and automatic transmissions a few times over 15 years. With a manual transmission I felt the locker locking and (occasionally) unlocking more than with...

    Options for knocking front driveshaft on lifted K10?

    The springs don’t have a terrible arch, define “extremely lifted”. If you don’t know how much lift, do this - Measure from the bottom of the frame to the top of the front axle tube. Stock height measures 8.5”, any difference is the amount of lift. My bet based on the partial spring pic is about...

    Good manual battery chargers?

    Another vote for Schumacher, they’ve been around forever. I’ve got 2 non smart type chargers and they’re great.

    Oil Sample low Viscosity

    I never trust private label oil. Even if it’s made by a reputable brand, it’s likely not the same level of product as in their own bottles. Also, never forget that the actual maker of the private label product is not providing it because the buyer (in this case Napa) “just loves that company”...

    Dana 60 axle play

    I’m not a good example of maintenance or following instructions…. That said, while I should, I have never lubed the calipers on any of my 60’s and I’ve never had an issue with them binding or getting stuck or any kind of unusual pad wear. The axle looks great! The painted hub dials look good...
