    Source for 4" backup lights?

    In older pre-CAN vehicles issues with LEDs is related to flashers, not to backup lamps or other lights. Old style flashers use a bimetallic element that needs certain minimum load to operate with long enough interval, when bulb burns out or is replaced with low current drawing LED the interval...

    '87 - 5.7 TBI, Separate Temp Sensor & Sending Unit?

    Bumping this old thread, My oil pressure gauge is always pointing somewhere around 35 PSI, I tested the gauge outside of car and it works OK. So my suspect is an oil pressure sending unit. I'm looking at oil pressure switch/sending unit in my 1990 350 TBI and it appears that the style is...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Next refueling and I got more "typical" gas mileage for a Suburban: 19.7 l/100 km or 12 mpg That's with mixed city/highway driving, traffic jams and me more comfortable with flooring that beast. Fun fact: Clerk was double and triple checking if I do realize that I'm paying for gasoline and not...

    700R4 TV cable - weird adjuster?

    Never seen that style. I'd guess it is some sort of replacement to get it to work. For sure that slop in a TV cable looks concerning! Try opening the throttle all the way and check cable tension, with automatic adjuster it should be under tension. Better to have it too tight and shift late...

    Driveshaft vibrations?

    Thanks guys! For the front driveshaft checking pinion angle is a great suggestion in that other thread. If I can't see any obvious signs of play (other than rotational play which should not result in vibration) in a front driveshaft then maybe that's the issue. Also with front driveshaft I...

    Driveshaft vibrations?

    I think I have driveshaft vibrations from both front and rear driveshaft. Around 55 mph on a clock I start to feel vibration which becomes unpleasant at higher speeds so I drive up to 55 mph. When I drive 55 mph with front hubs engaged, case in 2WD I can feel even more vibrations now coming...

    I guess I give up on the windows

    I'd try to connect the voltmeter in parallel to the motor and check for the voltage when the windows go up and down. If it is dropping significantly to couple of volts -> electrical issue. How is your relay mod done? Where did you ground the relays? How did you wire the power? I just did a...

    1991 Burb Alpine Ca https://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/pts/d/alpine-1991-chevrolet-suburban/7668609641.html

    And it's a factory 4L80E so maybe it will get something better than 10 MPG :)

    I guess I give up on the windows

    That's not true at least for the 1990. It's a regular system with both poles connected to a ground and a positive switched to either side to make it go up or down. The issue is that both power and a ground pass trough the switches and lengths of wire before reaching the motor. I'd try running...

    AmCar Tuesdays / Amcarowe Wtorki (Warsaw, Poland)

    Possibly, didn't have chance to talk to the guy... Or a gal, I don't know! Plates may be just for show, so no guarantee it's actually from TX. But that thig is huge, hard to imagine that back in the day that was a "regular car" size. There is always like 5 cop cars or so on Amcar Tuesdays...

    AmCar Tuesdays / Amcarowe Wtorki (Warsaw, Poland)

    After attending couple of car meets I thought I'd share this one, because we had not one, not two but three square bodies in one place at same time ;) That's the record I think :) No, but seriously, there are some regular car meets that happen in Poland, with Warsaw being the capital and...

    Rear bench won't latch

    Answering to myself for anyone for future reference, but I solved the issue. The thing I've noticed looking for how to fix the bench seat is that my arm rests were pointing way up compared to the photos I found indicating that something is off with seat geometry. So I loosened 4 T45 bolts on...

    Newbie

    Hi Sid, welcome! Ah, the prices you can get square bodies in the US! That makes me jealous.. I'm just about 5000 miles away from AR and at that distance a nonworking burnt engine SBC would be couple of thousands $$$ >.<

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Did the mod, ended up buying a different one than linked above. Steering is so much more precise now! Some notes: -These plastic inserts holding both halves together are most likely PTFE/Teflon. It emits highly toxic fumes when heated. Do it outside and mind the wind direction. -After removing...

    $40 well spent on OEM buzzer

    I want a buzzer too! Just found out this weekend that there is a nice big socket labelled BUZZER under the dash. Obviously empty as I almost forgot my lights couple of times. Buzzer has multiple prongs, does it have a different buzzer for a different thing, e.g. no seatbelt, open door with...

    Headliner questions

    Also some foam or other insulation between roof and headliner board may help reduce heat wanting to unstick the headliner. I used Sovereign Trim Stay to glue the carpet to plywood sheets that act as my headliner, it suppose to be a high temp adhesive, but didn't have a chance to test it yet in...

    Rear bench won't latch

    Hi, my 3rd row bench won't latch to the floor. It won't go down enough for the latch to engage. Before I try to find the solution myself can anyone see something wrong with my bench latch? Nothing seems off, apart for the fact it bottoms out near the handle before latch can grab the rod in the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Added missing window tint on one side and replaced scratched and discolored (and too transparent) tint on barn doors. It's so hard to find a brown tint that would match factory tint, had to go with a 20% brown which is not that brown and more transparent than factory tint.

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    It did it again, so I jerry rigged vacuum gauge on a cowl measuring vacuum past the check valve. I can also see that the system holds vacuum for couple of hours after parking before it finally reaches zero. I can clearly see the pulses from cruise control solenoid especially when it is at 19...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Thanks! Can you help me with identifying which one is more likely to fit? Both look slightly different than the one in 1st post, however make/model/year is matching. https://allegro.pl/oferta/drazek-kolumny-kierowniczej-cherokee-xj-88-96-13823223053...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    I'm twenty seven pages deep into this thread trying to figure out the purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all this mod does is eliminates/reduces the slack in the steering by replacing easily wearing out "rag joint" with a Jeep shaft that has some integrated rubber dampener integrated in the...

    rusted drum

    I guess it happened outside of transmission, as if it was inside and rusted then I guess it shows a bigger issue with moisture and more rust on parts.
