    Stock Exhaust R & R - Suburban

    Nice write up. Now does anyone make a full kit like this for an 85 K20 350 with Federal HD Emissions. The Walker site only had the mufflers no pipes.

    Idles Rough when AC is on

    After much digging I found 2 screws that fit the carb. What a pain in the ***. Got the Solenoid on the carb. Used blue Lock-tight to make sure that they don't come loose. Made a wiring loom to the green wire that can be easily disconnected. Turned on AC and CLICK the solenoid worked perfect...

    Can you see what size screws are holding on your soleniod? I need to pick up a couple for mine. Thanks.

    Idles Rough when AC is on

    Update. Part arrived and did not fit. Running the stamping number on the carb I found out that this carb was not original but was from a 1980 Cadilac Deville. Found that part on RockAuto. Any one need an idle stop soleniod? Cheap. Never used. Did I mention cheap. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    Why thank you. Looks like I found a Fathers Day present.

    Thinking of Going Stock

    What kills me now is that he just put on the new wheels and tires so he could sell it faster. Gave the stock ones to a buddy. Got to admit that at the time the new wheels and tires got my attention. Had to buff it out to get it to shine like it does now. Also had to replace evey belt and...

    KN airfilter how good

    Most dirt bikes and quads come from the factory with foam filters. The oil that they use is very tacky. I run a foam pre-filter over my K&N on the Baja Bug. The pre-filter gets really nasty but the K&N stays nice and clean. Out in the desert at the end of the day I would just pull the foam...

    Thinking of Going Stock

    Agreed. I am the second owner of this 152k mile truck. Saw it sitting out front of a farm with a for sale sign while out driving the Baja Bug on some back roads. Stopped, talked to the gent, made an offer and came back and drove it home. Transaction took all of 1 hour. He even had the...

    Thinking of Going Stock

    Just got an email from the company that makes those wheels. Here is what they said: "Thanks for asking, but our 8 lug wheels do not work on a 85'. Our cut off year in 75', they will hit the caliper on anything new." Guess I need to start trolling the swap meets and junk yards on a regular...

    Thinking of Going Stock

    I would be doing this for myself not for resale value. I was curious if it would hurt the value if I decided to put it back to stock. The more I thought about it last night I am leaning towards a resto-mod style. Something that looks like the factory "could" have produced it. No disrespect...

    Remember the chrome K5??

    What a waste of metal.

    Thinking of Going Stock

    I have been looking for stock 8 lug wheels and they seem rare out here. Every 3/4 or 1 ton I have seen in the junk yards has replacement wheels. If you have or know of a stash of them let me know and I will take 5 off of your hands.

    Thinking of Going Stock

    Very very nice. Exactly what I was thinking. Now on to finding some Center Caps. The stock tires were LT235/85R16P - 8 ply on the front 10 ply on the rear. Would these be correct for 7" rims?

    Thinking of Going Stock

    I like these wheels. They may not be "Factory Original" but they would be in the spirit of a stocker. Some nice 4x4 Center Caps and I think they would look really nice on my black truck. What do you think?

    Thinking of Going Stock

    How would one find out what wheels the truck had originally? I have the RPO codes and the original order form. Were there many options in 85 for the K20 Custom Deluxe?

    Thinking of Going Stock

    I bought this truck after we moved from California because you have to have a truck in Tennessee. I think its a law or something. :) Was just going to drive it when I needed to haul stuff. But it has been growing on me. Might just keep it and drive it. Something about that SM465 whine makes...

    Thinking of Going Stock

    Yeah I think I posted this picture when I joined the forum. Now that I have working AC again I have been driving it a lot. Driving gets me to thinking. You know what happens when you start thinking. :crazy:

    Thanks for the kind words. Needs a Dash Pad. Trying to find the right one for the right price. Leaning towards the Brothers Vinyl over Foam pad. Just don't like the urethane ones.

    Thinking of Going Stock

    I have been thinking about restoring my 85 k20 back to stock. I kinda like the narrow tire 4x4 look. I would just need to fix the emissions and get some stock wheels and covers. I think everything else is there. Am I crazy? What is re-sale vaule of stock over modified?

    KN airfilter how good

    I have run them on Jeeps, Trucks and on my Motor Home. Used to race dirt bikes in the SoCal desert so all of these vehicles spent a lot of the time in the dust and sand. I kept them oiled correctly and ran a pre-filter. Never had any engine failures or issues. Would run one on the Square but...

    Idles Rough when AC is on

    I am not happy with this company. Tried to get a quote to rebuild my QuadraJet and they never returned my calls.
