    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    Most head units have 4 amplified outputs designed to have 1x8 ohm or 1x4ohm load if you wire two speakers to the same channel it can be the wrong load and burn up the output. Example say you are supposed to have a channel with 1x4ohm load if you wired two 4ohm speakers in series you'd have an 8...

    V2500 frame compatibility and advice.

    Lots of hoses,lines,cables,wires will attach to the engine and the body,or accessories mounted on the body. Was just covering all bases without trying to remember every wire,cable,hose,etc. We had a member awhile back that blamed everyone that helped him on his engine pull,when he busted his...

    V2500 frame compatibility and advice.

    You'll have to pull the front clip,in pieces or whole,that's your decision. Can be done whole with a cherry picker. Disconnect steering shaft,all wires,tube's and hoses to engine and transmission,brake lines where they attach to the frame front and rear. Unbolt all the body mounts and lift one...

    V2500 frame compatibility and advice.

    What makes you say you are not set up to change the frame. Do you have a garage and a driveway,or even just a driveway and neighbors that mind their business? The tools to swap the frame aren't that involved or expensive. Remove the front clip,raise the body up with scissor Jack's and long 4x4s...

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    You need to get the toe correct, toe out will make them quick steer no matter which way you twitch the wheel. You need to verify caster to make sure your lift didn't change it, add shim to correct.Caster will make a car twitchy All three angles need to be verified just to make sure nothing is...

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    Get it aligned. There's more to alignment then toe,and eye isn't usually an accurate way of setting toe.

    Old school Pioneer head unit, should I or should I not???

    Hook up 2 speakers before you make a decision. It may not work on both audio channels. Sometimes when you run them with no load,as in right speaker but no left speaker or vice versa,they burn up the output IC.

    Modified engine crewcab gas mileage?

    Too add to all of this, when you add egr into the equation,you run a cooler combustion chamber,a less dense mixture and can run more ignition timing. SBCs with the right mixture and EGR can run 50+ BTDC at lean cruise, the lean mixture,the less charged mixture due to egr,and the extra timing...

    12v Cummins Swap Wiring

    Your alternator should have a total of 3 wires 1 exciter,1 current sensing,1 12v out. You are going to need a wire to engage the starter. I assume the Cummins uses a solenoid on the injection pump to shut the engine down,you can use your old 12v+ for the HEI to control this. Grounds,ground the...

    Rob,you know it's not a big deal to make a shortbed truck out of a longbed truck,right? It's so common more than one company makes a kit to make it even easier.

    4L80E TCI EZ TCU Error code issues

    O.P. hasn't been back since 2015. I don't think he's going to answer you. And 4l80e has had 2 different versions of the connector plug. You should start a thread,including your specific vehicle,your specific transmission and your problems.

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    It was an excellent design for the 1964 assembly line. Maybe not the most convenient for a 50 year later engine swap.

    Old School vs Vortec 5.7 Swap

    Short water pump long water pump, that's a question for small block cars late 60s trucks early 70s and corvettes but don't remember the details on the Vettes.

    Body repair panels

    My personal opinion,when possible find good used. My expierience has been factory panels are usually better than aftermarket. And no they are not all the same. Nor do they all come from the same place. That's one reason I prefer O.E. parts they are all they same,they all came from the same...

    What would you pay for this truck?

    I'm with @bucket 1000,1500 bucks isn't terrible for that truck if you want to do the work. Most times it is a head gasket,next is a cracked head,very occasionally a cracked block. But if I thought it could be drivable for 500, and my time. I'd have no problem giving 1000. for it. After it's...
