    '88 K5 RH Hinge Cover Cable Routing Question

    See I am used to the one that was on my 77 and my 85 is getting the Tahoe sits on custom brackets...

    Got under-dash water leaks?

    I take my pictures and sync them to a shared folder I have for my K5 project and then I just link the picture from my shared album so it does not takeup bandwidth on the forum server.

    Damaged block from shipping!

    LTL companies could fuck up a wet dream... I hate freight shipping if only because the drivers and carriers never seem to give a crap about what they break or if it arrives in good shape. I'm fighting for a 15K claim on some lab equipment a UPS freight driver dropped on the dock last Friday...

    350 output?

    Yep, Summit sells GM vortec heads as does Jegs. They are so common and cheap now it's not barely worth it to try and source them from a salvage yard now days when you factor in the rebuild cost. Get yourself a matching intake and put a good performer carb with a torque yileding RV cam and you...

    Power window relay mod/express down

    So does the module itself control the stop as well, is that just a resistance load that tells it when to stop? Also does it do auto up as well? I'm looking to set up both doors and the rear for auto up and down and don't want to hand all my money to the nice fellow who builds harnesses for...

    '88 K5 RH Hinge Cover Cable Routing Question

    Most times I have ever seen the cable is broken and gone and the dash does a great job of stopping the seat when you kick it forward so it wasn't worth investing time in caring about it... If you want to be OCD about it go to your local Ace hardware and find some small gauge stainless cable...

    Truck wanders

    have you had your caster checked at an alignment shop? Also with 6 inches of lift and 3 inches of body lift are you still running your front sway bar and if so does it have the brackets to put it in the right place? Also what about the bushings in the spring ends and similar stuff?

    4l80 2a np205

    They can but there is no real reason to stick with the np205 because the 4l80e has a super tall first gear and the np205 has a crappy low range so if you combine the two your effective crawl ratio will be garbage compared to what it can be. If you really want to chase that down you can check...

    Blazer top as camper shell

    I'm going to tell you it definitely is not worth it. Too much fab and too heavy. I bet a regular topper will be 2/3's less weight or more.

    700R4 and 3.08 gears robbing my engine?

    I guess it depends on your definition of bogging.

    Blazer top as camper shell

    Sorry missed your response. I think the main problem you will have is that the blazer top is slightly shorter than even the shortest shortbed trucks. I might be incorrect there but I am pretty sure that is the case. I measured my spare out in the ship and it is 72 inches along the bedrall but...

    350 output?

    Your basic 350 engine put out around 160 to 175 horsepower sitting in the truck until they came out with a Vortec L31 in the mid 90's. What it lacked in horsepower it made up for in torque, usually up to about 275 lb/ft on the ls9 (low emission engine) and then there was the LT9 high emission...

    1988 K5, need an inexpensive stereo option

    I do not normally preach this, but walmart and boss audio are your friends when it comes to cheap audio. It's great to spend less if your rig is going to be exposed to elements of the wet or extreme nature. if you already have a single DIN cutout or do not care about if your dash needs to be...

    700R4 and 3.08 gears robbing my engine?

    if your engine is bogging down its a tuning issue of some sort. 3.08's and a 700R4 aren't necessarily a recipe for bogging but it depends on what the tire sizes are. if you have popping in the exhaust then that is in indication you need to tune further. It might be a vacuum issue or intake leak.

    Anyone ever use the ashtray cup holder by brothers?

    I'm gonna bite. Just curious what you started out with there.

    Blazer top as camper shell

    I'm lost on what someone is trying to do here. Make a camper out of a blazer or do something with a blazer top to make it into a camper top? In my opinion unless you find a chalet cap (which I have seen for sell somewhere but can't remember where) the better solution would be just to get a...

    Dana 60 front axle

    What has a Dana 600 in it? That is a beefy looking axle stub, lol.

    Dana 60 front axle

    I might be mistaken... Now come to think of it I have seen the stub shaft break, but it usually breaks on the u-joint side. I've never personally seen the hub side break, but I am sure it has.

    Dana 60 front axle

    Its happened plenty, if it hadn't there wouldn't be a reason to have a Dana 60.

    four headlight truck?????low/high beams

    FWIW the reason both lights do not stay on from the factory is because the wiring gauge is too small to support the current for a sustained amount of time and someone at GM never really considered that it was beneficial to have both on. Not sure why. The 4 hi mod includes a relay and thicker...
