    SM465 L-2-3-4, can't shift into 2nd unless completely stopped (solved)

    my sm465 shifts into the 2nd forward gear pretty easy. under load, up or down. (i use the 1st forward gear to get going without stalling when stopped on a hill) i'm sure you'll get it lined out.

    Can someone school me on carpet

    i bought mine from rockauto but i'm pretty sure 'everyone' sells the same thing. the grain of the vinyl IS THERE but in my opinion is pretty shallow. i haven't had an issue with caking or retention of 'crap' causing the floor to look gray instead of black. the vinyl flooring in a box came...

    Can someone school me on carpet

    i'm really happy with the molded vinyl so far. came with a pad for the front 'foot wells'. tough vinyl type material rather than 'stretchy' rubbery type material. i have carpet floor mats (from a generic compact car) for bare feet so best of both worlds for my work/farm k20 super double xtra...

    Desperately look for this trim piece

    yeah, i would have said that amazon link stuff. i've still got a few feet in the box somewhere. neat stuff.

    Shelf it storage shelf

    i had one in a dakota. 91/92 loved it. didn't like that the visors mounted 'flipped' but got used to it. i've been considering one for my 85 super double xtra heavy duty k20. no worries about vision obstruction i think. good luck and let me/us know how it goes.

    Catalytic converters: does your square have them?

    my 1985 k20 super double xtra heavy duty was cat exempt when built in st. louis. i definitely notice the difference in exhaust stink but i'm ok with that. ;)

    Rear Window Sliding Glass

    removable storm window frames. just clean the broken glass out. cut a length of frame to fit. black window sealant to set. all done. you could get a replacement latch from lmc truck and attach it to your home made frame bits as well. good luck :)

    day long drive to pickup a new crf300l

    talking about motorcycles the last half year has really gotten under my skin. i've ridden inline four cylinder machines for 40 years. love the sewing machine smoothness and power to weigh ratio. those machines were all 'standards'. meaning you rode 'straight up' more or less. not bent over...

    Ring and pinion gear ratio

    yup, big difference between a big block under the hood. my k20 super double xtra heavy duty has a very nice 1969 4 bolt 350. it likes the 3.73 with 35x12.50R15 OR stocks on 16" because it is NOT a big block. it has the sm465 with the 'pep' i have, i'm confident i could go to 3.42 and be fine...

    Runs out of fuel…

    does the engine rpm drop when shifting into 2nd? ;) mechanical fuel pump is suddenly being jacked by the pump lobe on the cam LESS than at the top of 1st gear. good luck

    Oil pressure gauge pegged high

    my 85 has 2 different devices connected with a 't' to the engine. one is an idiot light connection and one is a gauge connection. sender vs sensor ? anyway, my oil gauge was pegged until i connected it to a new sender. (it was previously unconnected as the 350 had been swapped with an older...

    Testing the horn circuit

    good job. same solution here. my horn stated flaking out, then quit. cleaned the terminal on the only horn mounted as well as the harness connector and that solved it.

    Mean sounding cams worth it?

    if your quadrajet is working fine, leave it there. i had a booger'd quadrajet on mine and simply replaced it with a rebuilt (not by me) quadrajet. the only thing i did was adjust for maximum vacuum and set the 'sensitivity' of the secondary butterfly. very happy and plan to keep fuel running...

    Carpet vs vinyl

    it's been awhile since i put my vinyl in. it has settled down a bit with summer heating it up and driving around etc etc. the instructions said it would but i had my doubts. the 'fit' over the humps and bumps was rough on mine as well but seems to get better as time goes on. good luck!

    How quick is your Square?

    the flying turd is so quick it gets to where i'm going before i can even crank the ignition. (i gave up the quickness when i sold my honda 919) :(

    Auto-to-Manual Butcher Job

    i'm old enough that what driving instruction i had, included what to do if your truck stalls on a railroad crossing. crank engine while in gear to move off the tracks. :) my '85 was missing the clutch safety switch when i got it. it's still missing just in case i stall out straddling train...

    Tbi vs carb

    i love the fuel injection in my hemi truck and my polaris 4 wheeler. i have the 85 k20 for the 'older school'. the quadrajet has no fear of being replaced. ;)

    Transmission lowering?

    yes, it definitely increases the 'take off' angle. the lowering impact on the shaft is also minimal compared to the rear output. dunno why some things like that gain traction but like a fashion fad, people get convinced they 'gotta do it'. :)
