    C20 - Trailering vs. Camper Special

    My '74 is a camper special. It has brackets on the front fenders for a slide on & over the cab camper, it came with towing mirrors (since removed), dampening absorbers from inside the cab to the bed and four camper mounting brackets at both ends of the bed coming off the frame. I'm not sure if...

    Question on upgrading gauges

    A used clock without a "guarantee to be in working condition" can be a crap shoot. Plus think about what is the newest used gauge cluster, 30+ years old? I've purchased several gauges & printed circuits from LMC and never been disapointed.

    Rear camera installation

    My rear camera needed one power supply when the vehicle is on and one signal (reverse light) to turn it on. Is your setup similar?

    Bed swap issues?

    If you center the rear axle in the wheel well opening, there will be a larger than "normal" gap between the bed and cab.

    Engine Crossmember Replacement

    Depending on what part of the north east you are located, where the truck came from and how much road salt was used, frame parts may be in the same condition as what you have. Do you have welding equipment and know how to use it? If you need to replace the "cradle", why not take it out, inspect...

    350 sounds like a diesel engine

    Drain the oil look for "glitter" and cut the oil filter open and check for metal particles.

    Vintage Air Gen V (5) or replace existing compressor, etc., for 1987 R20 Suburban?

    I put a vintage air R134 a/c system in my mid 80's CUCV blazer many years ago. It would do ok for the front but not for the rear seating, and I did a pretty good job of insulating, sound deadening and window tinting. Maybe their system has improved.

    Driveshaft too short after lift?

    Before you have the driveshaft lengthened take the cap off the end of the yoke and check the condition of the seal/packing. If needed change the seal/packing clean the old grease out and pump some new grease in until it leaks out the weep hole near the u-joint. Then have the driveshaft lengthened.

    Truck backfires and doesn’t start

    Did it run ok before you did anything to it? Did you do any valve adjustment?, Have or can you do a compression and/or leak down tests? Correct firing order? Do you have a service manual with a trouble shooting section?

    Bell housing not fitting right?

    Also, make sure you have the starter brace installed or you will snap the starter bolts.

    Bell housing not fitting right?

    The dowels are the same, I am not an expert but, I don't think a bellhousing for an 10.5" clutch will fit over an 11" clutch. Also, have you tried the fitment without the starter in place?

    Battery / charging isolator.

    I use a minute mount 1 during plow season on my bobcat 873 skid steer. The plow has its own battery and charges thru an isolator that most likely came from amazon (P/N BTI-140) 12v 140A. After three winters nothing has caught fire or exploded yet.

    Just curious.

    Is it me or does one of the combustion chambers look different than the others?
