    Please look over my emissions “delete”

    Unhook your throttle cable, does the throttle plate change positions?

    Please look over my emissions “delete”

    The whole choke circuit takes a couple minutes to get up to temp & idle at normal rpm's. Let 'er run a bit unless it's running like 4 grand or something, then that's not normal.

    Please look over my emissions “delete”

    What's the temp where you're starting this engine? Does your choke have 3 adjuster screws or rivits in it? When it's bellowing black smoke, manually open the choke plate about 1/8-3/16" and see if she'll clear up & pick up idle a bit. Sounds to me like an improperly adjusted choke at start-up.

    Please look over my emissions “delete”

    Is your choke in fast idle position? Sounds to me like it's normal for cold start situations. Is the throttle plate in the idle position? Why does it only run for 10-30 seconds, is it running out of fuel? The engine needs to get up to temp before you make any type of poke-n-hope adjustments.

    Rear wheels are sucked in way more than front. K10. Adapters? BAD IDEA? pics inside

    I don't think you'll be able to add a spacer much thicker than 3/8" without adding longer lug studs. None of my trucks have ever had an extra 3/4" of lug stud left after the nut was on.

    I know a guy who is running spacers on his '92 1500 because he's running a set of S-10 wheels. They initially came loose & f-ed up his ORIGINAL lug studs and he had to fix a few. Do what you want, everyone is advising you not to run spacers but you're wanting to do it anyway. Why'd you even ask...

    Rear Bumper 1986 K10

    I do remember before I installed mine that I jacked the back of my truck up, turned the bumper upside down then blocked the ends of the Westin bumper up in the air, put blocks from my receiver hitch to the bottom hitch plate of the bumper, and let the weight of my truck take some of the smile...

    Those are definitely the best. Mine just rusted through at the outer brackets, unfortunately.

    Issues with being stood for a long time?

    Check fluids for cross-contamination first. Also check clarity and give them a sniff to see if any are burnt or fuel washed, Then, if all is ok & full, fire it up, it'll be somewhat of a crapshoot if the seals are going to start hemorrhaging fluid. If it's been inside, it's had some type of...

    I hate wheel spacers myself, and has anyone determined that'll make your truck drive/handle any better??

    Please help with very high idle 3500-4000

    Once you get the vac lines & PCV hooked up & in the right order, invest in a can or 2 of carb cleaner! If it's been sitting that long, even plan on a carb kit & rebuilding it. An electric, adjustable choke needs to be set properly for start-up & smooth idle.

    Rear wheels are sucked in way more than front. K10. Adapters? BAD IDEA? pics inside

    Yeah, and I'll say this about the GMT400 indy front axles. Dodge & Ford boys argue that GM's indy's don't get as good as traction as their trucks. I've been slayin' elk & retrieving them out of deep snow & steep mountains for 30 years, using my '89. All I can say is bring your $ you WANT to...

    Wasn't the reason the GMT400 moved the fuel tanks inside the rails because of the BS lawsuit the kids parent's hit GM with because their son got t-boned at 55 mph & his Squarebody truck exploded??

    I only remember an occasional truck on the lots without rear bumpers. I think you could order them that way though.
