    What have you done to your square lately??

    it is so dark inside the cab of these old rigs, and I could never see the cupholders on the center console of the suburban. One good thing about more modern cars is the little LED that shines down from above to illuminate the console area. So I added a little LED to provide some ambient light...

    350 tbi running too cold

    my 350tbi burb runs at 195-200 when it is cool outside and 195-210 when it is warm outside and depending on engine load. but my gauge isn't accurate. it reads on the 2nd hash at 195deg engine temp. it is pretty close to 210 when the gauge reads 210. I monitor CTS with ALDLDroid, so I know what...

    Can't decide what to do. Suggestions? Thoughts?

    if I ever find a pot of buried money, I'd regear to 4.56. or the cheaper solution is to go back to stock height and tire size but if things have changed for the worse, I'd do what you said about checking compression and then look at the tune up parts, or check compression while you just do the...

    Can't decide what to do. Suggestions? Thoughts?

    when's the last time you had a tune up - plugs, wires, cap, rotor? could be the ignition system needs to be freshened up. I have a v1500, 350, 4l60 that sits on tires that are also about 32in. it motors down the highway fine at 75mph, but isn't winning any land speed races. downshifing on...

    700r4 TV cable cause acceleration/run away with 6.2?

    Is the cruise control somehow sticking on or somehow being engaged? Cruise control is the only thing i can think of that will suck the accerator pedal down. And the brake pedal switch will turn off the cruise and stop the issue. Is he accidentally "setting" the cruise when he uses the turn...

    EGR gasket seal

    Pretty sure last time I replaced a EGR the old one had a gasket and the new one also came with a gasket. I'd get a gasket and use it, if it were me.

    sensor

    Pic and engine details would be helpful. Best guess with the limited available information would be some sort of coolant temperature sensor for fuel injection, either TBI or aftermarket.

    This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.

    I think we are all about to witness the swap of the year happen in this thread!

    Defrost doesn’t work

    there is a panel that you can remove from the box under and to the left of the glove box. it is kind of a vertical piece, maybe 3 or 4 screws. you should be able to check for broken door clips and watch how the blend and air direction doors function and see what the issue is with it off

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Washed and waxed it as part of winter prep. Those new ceramic waxes are a little different to use, but I like the results....even on my old beat down paint.

    Kick panel leaking

    the cowl drains exit behind the front fenders. watch where water comes out when you dump a hose into the cowl. there is a plastic trim piece to remove, if still present, and a little piece of permeable foam to pull out of the way. then you have to reach up with a stick or something and pull out...

    Ignition Coil wiring

    The white to red splice is for a tachometer. Fuel pump relay power comes from an orange wire on the 440 circuit. Pink will be ign hot, and I think it runs through the fuse panel. The wiring manuals are in the Reference Library of this forum

    Show your daily driver

    yes, for the last 6+ yrs...at about 15k miles per year. i give it a good wash/wax spring and fall, even though some previous paint job clear is failing badly. i don't let mud or road salt sit on it too long without a wash. and I visit Krown each fall, usually late October or early November. they...

    I Krown my 1990 burb every fall. $150 per year is cheap if it keeps it from rusting.

    Best tires

    The thing that helps stop best on ice is a lot of distance between you and what you might hit when you apply the brakes, short of studded tires

    Best tires

    This is very subjective, but I have been pleased with BFG K02 for light off roading, highway, and snow. K03 are coming, and should be available next time I need tires in 3 years or so.

    Spark plug foul up

    O2 voltage should be constantly varying back and forth between 0.1v and 0.9v as the computer constantly adjusts fuel. high volts is rich and it pulls fuel (fuel trims will be below 128). low voltage is lean and it adds fuel (fuel trims will be above 128). ideal AFR is around 0.5v, but it will...

    Np241 question

    Might put it up on a lift and see if it is the T-case actually spinning the shaft or drag in the front hubs spinning the shaft, as mentioned above.

    Vaccum issue

    Doesn't the cruise control also have a vacuum switch to kill the cruise when you hit the brakes?
