    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Well, if it's a show truck, I've seen NOS pads go for almost $2k. Gotta throw down if you want that quality as they won't get cheaper from here on out...

    Big block running hot. Can’t figure out the issue

    Lower rad hose collapsing?? New T-stat's are common failures. Told my buddy to change his "new" stat because his '89 Blazer wasn't getting hot. He didn't believe it was bad because it was so new, it was stuck wfo!. I know you're having the opposite issue, but they all probably come from China!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    While pulling the brake release lever, pull up on the backside of the pedal with your foot, this should make it go back to full release position & make your light go off.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Try rebuilding or adjusting it properly. No one has EVER made a carb better when it's tuned properly.

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    The old Chevy valve covers had an oil fill rubber plug that went into a valve cover hole.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I also did my own, just requires patience & concentration! After I aseembled it & put the seal & cap on, i found a bearing on the floor! Sure enough, it was short one when I disssambled it and counted them. It;s also a bit tough distinguishing between the black & shiney bearings!

    Front end noise

    You could put it on a frame lift, have someone start it and run it in 4wd while you watch the front shaft & see what it's doing.

    Welcome from another Silverado 20 owner, and your south central neighbor. I'm just south of the State Capitol, big city of Clancy! Also running the GMT 400 Alloys on mine!. A 3" holesaw to the center caps makes PERFECT front hub holes!

    Factory AM/FM cassette radio

    I'd say $25-$50 if cassette doesn't work, $75-$100 with it working. It depends on the overall condition, also.

    Fuel pouring out of charcoal canister.

    What is this noise/chirp…speedometer cable?

    Yep, speedo cable. You can reach up and unclip it from the speedo, pull it down toward the floor and squirt some lube in the cable housing. Not too much though, just a couple small squirts. Motorcycle chain lube works good as it isn't runny.
