    Oxygen sensor

    Aren't there clamp on no weld needed O2 bungs out there?

    Best way to run power from truck battery to trailer winch. Quick disconnect ends.

    I put a separate battery on the trailer for the winch and an isolator off of the truck's battery to keep it charged.

    Fuel filter puzzle

    There wasn't any "water in fuel" sensors in my mid 80's CUCV blazer fuel tank, only on the firewall box filter housing.

    My parts truck has auto hubs on the Dana 60!

    I had an early to mid 80's that also had them.

    Oil pressure gauge problem

    Could always "T" in a mechanical gauge to get a second opinion.

    Confusion on fuel and more.

    The type that's on your firewall/pressure regulator or the same shape only metal.

    87 SILVERADO WITH AN 78 350 BORD 40 OVER WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER SEAFOM

    How did it run before seafoam treatment? Did you add the seafoam to the tank or dump it down the carb and how much?

    Confusion on fuel and more.

    Others will mention, I'm not too keen on that style filter you used before the fuel pump.

    Swapped to 4x4, now the truck dances all over the road

    Might be a SWAG but any cracks in the frame around the steering box?

    Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.

    Maybe trim a little off the tank end of the hose? Could it have been a C&C at some point and a bed installed? That could explain the geometry issue.

    1978-80 dash trim on a 1977 dash?

    There are two different shapes to the dash pads. My '74 plastic trim that holds the vents will not fit the newer dashes. I'm not sure when the change was made.

    six cylinder won't start in the morning

    Does it sound like it cuts out at a certain engine rpm? Maybe wire in a tach to check.

    raising seat height

    Could also experiment with wood to find out what height works for you, then square tubing and/or metal body shims.

    Fuse block connectors

    What will you be adding? A #10 wire from the battery and an ignition activated relay maybe in your future.

    Transmission Identification

    It's not a BOP. I thought someplace on this website or GMT400's there is a guide for GM transmissions based on pan gasket shape.

    Unable to find these relays

    Any thing that looks like a part number, might have to rely on google.

    Really weird air conditioning problem

    When I upgraded my system from R12, I replaced everything under the hood, then flushed out the evaporator. I can get 40* out of the drivers side vent, it is a single cab, your results may differ.

    86 k5 tail pan replacement

    I wonder why he didn't cut both sides just outside the frame rails and replace the outer sections. If you are replacing the entire piece, maybe cut it in half, might be easier to get two shorter sections in place than one larger.

    86 k5 tail pan replacement

    Relying on memory, which can be sketchy at times, it is spot welded along the bed floor and bolted under the stake pod area. I did this 10 to 15 years ago and may need "memory refreshing" from someone else. Good Enuff Customs has a pretty good utube video, part 17.

    86 k5 tail pan replacement

    I replaced one on my old mid 80's CUCV many years ago. I should have removed the fiberglass top first or braced the sides up so as not to sag from the weight. And for some reason that escapes me now I cut access holes in the bed to get at the rear body mounts, maybe the bolts were frozen to the...

    396 with Edelbrock 1406 running issue

    Check the easy stuff first, plugs, fuel filter & fuel supply (pump) then junk in the carb. If the easy stuff looks ok, think about an ignition module. What type of distributor are you running?

    Long bed or short?

    Any Tricks for stuck oil filter ?

    I've had to beat the snot out of a filter while cursing the previous installer. Try smacking on the filters' base avoiding the engine block.
