    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    Should I need any special speaker wire to help with sound quality, or I should just use basic insulated wire?

    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    Hello ya'll, I'll be doing a cab swap soon, and when I put the new cab on I'll be installing sound deadener and rubber matting. While I'm there I'd like to run new speaker wire to the speakers(that I'll be installing later). My question is, what kind of wiring should I use? I have no problem...

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    I'm not looking for show quality, but it'd be nice to have something I don't need to work on all day. When did you get it?

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Yeah chances are I'll be getting that one as it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm just not one to impluse buy and I like to see what's out there.

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Instead of carpet, I wish to get rubber matting for the whole floor of my automatic 79 K10. I notice LMC has what I'm looking for, I'm just curious if I can get better quality or maybe get it cheaper somewhere else. Thanks!

    1985 k5 4x4 5.3l vortec swap

    Nice, I'm looking to pick up an LS engine and work it over winter for my K10. Please let us know what you'll be doing with the exhaust manifolds, engine mounts and fuel system. So far from what I've seen, fbody manifolds and dirty dingo engine mounts are the way to go for that. As for fuel...

    Sound deadening information and research threads

    I made an order for two of them. For almost half the cost as dynamat/fatmat and more material, it seems like it'll be a great deal. Worst comes to worst if it's junk or it smells like asphalt I'll return it.

    Sound deadening information and research threads

    Have you used it? Does it have adhesive on one side for ease of installation? Also I went on the company website and they said it's reclaimed material, meaning that sometimes the quality of the product can sometimes differ than other "batches". Still, for that price....

    Sound deadening information and research threads

    I've been doing quite a bit of reading into sound deadening, and I'm still in the process of researching it. I figure I'd share what I found so far with others and maybe get some more feedback and help others with it. Some of these links are a couple years old so it may be old news to some, but...

    Turbo 350 Information and Facts

    I've been looking into doing a TH350C swap in my 79 K10 for better fuel economy and less heat in the trans. I figure it'll be cheaper and easier plus keep a stronger trans than a 700R4, however I know I won't get the same fuel economy as a 700R4 but the previously stated perks are more important...

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    Thanks Hotrod for this sticky. I did this to my truck yesterday and it's amazing how much of a difference it made.

    When shutting truck off...

    Cool thanks guys. Should I mention that this happens when the engine gets up to operating temperature? When I drive around while the engine's cold, it's fine, but at operating temp it has this symptom.

    Ok I'll look into that. Any input for checking the dis.?

    When shutting truck off...

    Go ported? What does that mean? How can I check how much advance I have? What's a stop plate, and how would I adjust it? Sorry, I'm new at these distributors and carbs.

    When shutting truck off...

    8 degrees. However I should mention that the engine in my 79 is a center bolt engine from the late 80's, I don't know if that matters or not. Also, the vacuum advance and the vacuum line from the transmission go into a tee fitting, and both of those lines are drawn in through the single vacuum...

    When shutting truck off...

    So as for the high idle/dieseling on my end, I throw the truck in park, and it high idles. I then disconnect the vacuum line going to the vacuum advance on the distributor and the idle goes back down to normal. Bad vacuum advance? Do I have to replace the whole dis.? Sorry but the old school...

    When shutting truck off...

    Haha yup I was going to do that today too, the previous owner had it tee'd with the trans to the carb. The idle screw is set, I just need to double check the vac advance after I separate the vacuum lines. The truck was running rich sitting, so that's why I tinkered with the idle fuel screws.

    When shutting truck off...

    I'm currently dealing with the same issue, and it's more apparent after driving for a decent amount of time. When I put it in park I hear the engine(no tach) rise about 400rpms. Then I shut it down and it diesels for about 4-6 seconds. I turned down the idle air screws and I have yet to try it...

    Cab Marker Light Placement

    Just out of curiosity, how do you guys fish the wiring in the cab for fitting the markers? I'm going from a cab with cab markers, to no cab markers. I'd like to mod the new cab to keep them, but I'm curious as to how I'd go about fishing the harness in it.
