    Help with gauge cluster lights

    Most of the time the printed circuit board is wore a bit where the bulb sockets twist onto the gauge panel. Sometimes, if you have a burnt spot in the circuit board, it'll cut off power to the bulbs beyond it. I did have a weird, rare instance once where I kept replacing the bulbs that wouldn't...

    Brought home my first square body. 1980 Silverado C10. Utah

    Those mirrors first appeared in 1980, so it could be an '80. Snap a pic of the grille, that will tell all!

    Well, if it's a show truck, I've seen NOS pads go for almost $2k. Gotta throw down if you want that quality as they won't get cheaper from here on out...

    Yes, the incorrect cap will make it run hot with too much pressure for sure!

    Big block running hot. Can’t figure out the issue

    Lower rad hose collapsing?? New T-stat's are common failures. Told my buddy to change his "new" stat because his '89 Blazer wasn't getting hot. He didn't believe it was bad because it was so new, it was stuck wfo!. I know you're having the opposite issue, but they all probably come from China!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    While pulling the brake release lever, pull up on the backside of the pedal with your foot, this should make it go back to full release position & make your light go off.

    Try rebuilding or adjusting it properly. No one has EVER made a carb better when it's tuned properly.

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    The old Chevy valve covers had an oil fill rubber plug that went into a valve cover hole.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I also did my own, just requires patience & concentration! After I aseembled it & put the seal & cap on, i found a bearing on the floor! Sure enough, it was short one when I disssambled it and counted them. It;s also a bit tough distinguishing between the black & shiney bearings!

    Front end noise

    You could put it on a frame lift, have someone start it and run it in 4wd while you watch the front shaft & see what it's doing.

    Haha, that's awesome! I haven't been to a Bighorn game for several years. I grew up in this area, have been here since '72! Love it out here! Is your son living with a host family then? I've actually considered doing that as they advertise for host families right before season starts. I'm about...

    Welcome from another Silverado 20 owner, and your south central neighbor. I'm just south of the State Capitol, big city of Clancy! Also running the GMT 400 Alloys on mine!. A 3" holesaw to the center caps makes PERFECT front hub holes!
