    Oil pressure gauge not working

    One other question, I DID use teflon tape on the sender (stupid mistake on my part) but i also know some of the threads inevitably cut through the tape. And like I said the gauge was working briefly. Now to rule out a ground issue, could I hose clamp a ground wire to the body of the sending unit...

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    Thanx i will give this a shot in a moment. Do you know if the boards go bad? Do i need to take dash pad off to remove Cluster (thinking ahead)

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    My question remains. Is there a way to test the cluster. When i remove the gauge. Can i test the female ends that the gauge plugs in to.

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    ?????? My sender has 1 wire My gauge has 3 prongs. This is the oil pressure gauge in the cluster. If you take it out, there are 3 “prongs” on the back

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    I would like to rule out the gauge cluster. Is there a way i can check that the cluster maybe by checking the female ends that the gauge plugs in to?

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    87 K5 Blazer, oil pressure gauge not working. Just did an LS swap, using the sender that was in it before. I had the wife sit in the cab as i grounded the connector and it came to life. Then i ran it for a moment and it was working fine. Also had that bounce when you turn the key. Now, nothing...

    Yep mine looks exactly like that. Except mounted to the 4L60E

    LS bellhousing stiffener rods

    Thanks for the pic, is it not sitting on the crossmember with the oval slots? And when you mention aluminum/cast housings which piece are you referring to? I believe my 208 is aluminum

    LS bellhousing stiffener rods

    Thank you for the detailed explanation. I’ll buy this. Do you know, on the newer stuff, is the transfer case supported in any way? My 208 hangs off the back of my 4L60E with really no type of support.

    LS bellhousing stiffener rods

    Yes the bellhousing on this truck is a full circle as opposed to the sbc bell which only goes around 2/3 or so. So i think for that reason the forward two bars that tie to the motor mounts are redundant. My main concern is the bar that goes from the t case up to the bell housing

    LS bellhousing stiffener rods

    Eng and trans did not, but they were out of a 2wd truck. I am not sure what the 4wd configuration looks like in the newer trucks other than i believe the tcase is driver side drop

    LS bellhousing stiffener rods

    On my K5 when it had its original 350 and 700r4 there was a stiffener bar running from the bell housing to the side of the 208 transfer case and also a stiffener bar on each side running from the bell housing up to the motor mount area. So a total of 3 rods. Not sure if they have a specific name...

    Taillight wiring

    My taillight wiring is all hacked up. I am going to run it from about midway frame back. At that point it looks like trailer wiring (4 wire) does it just stay that way back and then split somewhere under the tailgate? I just want to replicate the factory wiring as close as possible, doesnt need...

    LS swap DBW pedal geometry

    Quoting myself above, others have said with the 03-07 tac modules some people are reporting a 100% throttle blade opening at only 50% throttle, rendering the vehicle unsafe, has anyone heard of this?

    LS swap DBW pedal geometry

    I got the 98 6.5 pedal on rock auto for $45. Apparently you swap 1 wire and cut a notch into the plug. I also read of someone who burned up their tac module and also read someone said the 6.5 diesels throttle was unreliable. Idk if there is any truth to this. Would like confirmation on wiring...

    LS swap DBW pedal geometry

    That looks really nice. How does the pedal feel when driving? Also i was worried about burning the sensor when welding but apparently you had no issue on that end?

    LS swap DBW pedal geometry

    Anyone know about the 98 6.5 turbo diesel dbw pedal? Supposed to be a direct fit, 1 wire swap on the harness. I have been reading but nothing seems to be confirmed, especially on the wiring part

    Was going to ask if anyone does this, espeically the ‘drive down the dirt road’ part

    LS swap DBW pedal geometry

    Hey guys getting real close to start up. 04 LM7 in an 87 K5. Its a DBW motor. The pedal assembly mounts to the firewall no problem but the arm is a lot longer than the existing setup and also kicked over towards the center hump. I ended up cutting the arm somewhere in the middle and I have some...

    K5 frame crack

    Thank you. In your opinion are cracks common on all frames or just trucks that have been wheeled or something else?
