    I’m pretty pissed!!

    BTW, I think your "Tahoe" looks sweet, even though it's not a Square! ;)

    I’m pretty pissed!!

    A 35" is a GIANT tire when these rigs came with mostly 15" wheels. I just said i wouldn't hack my sheetmetal to "try & look cool" and have stupid-looking off-set wheels hanging out there. I also don't like 6"+ lifts neither, just my preference, just something a little more aggressive than stock...

    Chrome bumpers comparison ?

    I have a Westin. They're decent, but have found that they aren't 100% flat!

    I’m pretty pissed!!

    TOTALLY your decision to hack on your sheetmetal just to have a GIANT tire. Also, those positive offset wheels will eat 1/2 ton steering/suspension components like candy, not to mention you will be forever cleaning crap off that is slung all over the side of your vehicle. I guess if you're into...

    72 Monte Carlo project

    Great project! I'm a HUGE Monte fan. I've owned 3 total, including an '86 SS. My first CAR was a '76 that was one of my fav's of all that I owned. I've never owned a 1st gen , but would love a 1st gen SS with either the LS5 or 402!

    Az Square

    Welcome from Montana! Great score on the truck! Looks very clean & solid, aside from some damaged sheetmetal that can easily be replaced. I'm a huge fan of a 455 Olds, would also love to see some pic's of it and the heads stamping! Ok, pertaining to that little steering wheel, I'm going to throw...

    New to the square body scene

    Welcome from Montana. I, too, am a Q-Jet man. I've rebuilt several & have had great luck with them. Make sure you check the play on the throttle shaft, because if it's wore out, it'll suck in air and to my knowledge, you'll have to ****-can it. The carb numbers on the side tell the story...

    2.5" Skyjacker final thoughts

    I did a pair of Rough Country 2" Add A Leafs up front, 1" spacer blocks and new u- bolts in rear. About perfect 2" lift with slight rake. The ride is pretty good, but it is a 3/4" ton. Also, shorty trucks will be a bit more "bucky-feeling" in ride because of their short wheel base

    Geez, you could rebuild a transfer case in that same time frame....

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    I believe the TBI snorkel tubes are a bit longer because the air cleaner housing locks down onto the TB in a certain position, where the carburated versions were canted more toward the front. On my '87, I tried a snorkel from a different year, and it was a little too short to connect to the core...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, at least you didn't have -20 like we did. That is crazy, my wife & I were watching the world news and saw all the southern states that got snow. Welsome to my world! :laughing1: ;)

    Odd Cooling System issue

    The new "Fail-safe" T-stats "fail" OPEN! My mechanic buddy is NAPA Certified Repair, but WILL NOT use their t-stats for this exact reason. A co-worker of mine was having this issue on his '89 Blazer and I told him to change the stat as I thought it was stuck open, even though he said "It's...

    87 V10 Custom Deluxe TBI Issues

    Can you give me more info on the resistor, & where it goes? I think I read somewhere that it is soldered between injector power wires?? My truck is missing the pump, and I cannot get it to stop over-fueling at idle.

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    Titled in NJ back in 2003, may have been the last time that it was in one piece after 24 years on the road in that rusty country!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'm having an over-fueling problem myself. I'm running a JET Performance chip, the 2nd one theyv'e sent me, and they're claiming it's the correct one for GM's last ECM update for the TBI trucks. Everything but the TPS is new, I've rebuilt the TB, have a Power Tower, pod spacer, increased fuel...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I discovered my radiator has developed a slight leak on the bottom side somewhere. F*@#!!! It's going to be below zero for a few nights, so I guess I'll deal with it when it warms up.
