    Cruise control servo rebuild video

    Hey, I was having troubles with the cruise control on our 1990 Suburban losing speed so I spent some time researching and came across this video that shows how to repair the servo. I took our servo apart and found the same issue with the degrading foam filter. I cut a new piece of foam to...

    OEM Starter options?

    I replaced the starter on our '90 Suburban with one from a 96+ Vortec 350. They are the smaller, high torque starter and it was a direct bolt in. Works great.

    Delphi fuel pump

    I found this Walbro pump on Summit's website. I have used Walbro pumps on generators before and they seem to last much longer than other brands and it is made in the USA. I may go this route instead of the Delphi. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpn-5ca401-1

    Delphi fuel pump

    The fuel pump died on our 90 Suburban the other day. I stopped at an area auto parts store yesterday and they had the options of either a Delphi or Bosch fuel pumps. They have the Delphi in stock, so I got that one. I see it is made in China. How are the Delphi pumps for reliability? Is...

    I ordered the shocks and stabilizer from Rock Auto.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the steering stabilizer and shocks. It had the quad shocks, but decided to just go with singles on the front. The old shocks and stabilizer were shot and it rides and handles so much better now.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Yeah, this truck has spent its whole life in the oilfields up here. There are very few winch trucks with poles left around here. Most roustabout companies use either loaders or cranes now days to do what these winch trucks used to do. We used to use this truck to set pumping units and tank...

    Lotsa nice squares on CL out here right now!

    That would be the epitome of a "Frankentruck."

    Yep, that’s cool that it’s a 4x4 too. I’d be leery of a MN pickup though. I wonder how rusty that thing would be underneath? On closer inspection, it looks like it has Montana plates…..and it’s a Cheyenne Super! Probably would be worth looking at in that case.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    We've been storing our old '68 C50 winch truck in the shed for the past 3 years, but have decided to sell it. Fired right up this evening, so I brought it back to the shop. No brakes though, so we have to look into that....350 SBC with less than 10,000 miles on it, 5 speed and pto driven winch...

    Lotsa nice squares on CL out here right now!

    There is a '74 Chevy C20 in my hometown that has been sitting in this guy's backyard for 25 years just rusting away. It's a 292 with a 4 speed and has the 292 badge in the grill. I tried buying it from him a while back, but he said it's not for sale. Bugs me that he's just letting it go to...

    Does that '73 C20 have the 292 badging on the grill? Those are kind of unique and don't see many anymore.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    I found a picture of the muncie 3 speed OD I have for reference. I see that my transmission also has the toggle switch with it like you mentioned.

    Yes. You are correct.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Yeah, the guy who took the pictures mounted it on a non-OD 3 speed to demonstrate what the bracket looked like. It has a notch in it to go around the solenoid.

    https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/chevy-3-speed-w-overdrive-hurst-floor-shifter.154762/ Post #22 on this thread shows pictures of the Hurst mystery shifter that worked with these OD transmissions. If anyone has one of these laying around and willing to part with it, let me know. ;)

    Bilstein 4600 Front Quad Shocks and Dual set rear 90 Suburban

    So we are looking to replace the front shocks on our 90 V1500 suburban. From what I have been seeing on other threads, we should be just fine with just single front shocks on each side? Just want to double-check, I'd like to go with Bilstein 4600's and I believe the part number we need would...

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    The saginaw 3 speed OD is more desirable than the muncie 3 speed OD because it has a synchronized 1st gear I believe. That is probably a good buy if the solenoid that engages the OD works. I have a muncie 3 speed OD that I would be willing to sell, but I'm a LONG ways away from TX. haha...
