    Replace accelerator pump during carb rebuild?

    My mistake. It does have the rubber seal, just not the whole thing. Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    Replace accelerator pump during carb rebuild?

    I don't think the kit I'm ordering comes with one, but I'm going to go ahead and order one and slap it in there. Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    Replace accelerator pump during carb rebuild?

    I'm ordering a rebuild kit and new floats for my edelbrock carb on my K25. Would it be wise to go ahead and replace the accelerator pump now since I'll have it out and apart? Most of my carb experience is on small engines and four wheelers. Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    Flatbed bed rails and tailgate.

    Of course! A couple short pieces of channel should work nicely. My brother suggested (try to follow me here) one of the metal junctions one might use when framing a building. The kind you nail to one board, then it has a cradle for another board coming off at a 90. But i think those are way too...

    Flatbed bed rails and tailgate.

    I'm going to make some be rails for my flatbed out of wood. Probably a 2x6 on each side with 2x4 supports. I want to make a drop in 2x6 tailgate that can either go at the end of the bed or 18in behind the cab for a catch-all spot. I'm looking for ideas on how to secure the tailgate, but keep it...

    roof basket squarebody truck

    I'm thinking about doing one just over my cab to haul my spare and a jack and not lose bed space. Already has a headache rack and flatbed, so adding a roof basket would be a breeze Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    SM465 pops out of second

    I read somewhere earlier the shift forks can become bent from forcing it into gear or resting your hand on the shifter while driving. Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    SM465 pops out of second

    Usually during acceleration or a hill climb. I've heard this is a fairly common issue for this trans. Is there anything that can be done about it? Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    What is broken and how do I fix it?

    I talked to a place in tulsa that specializes in driveshafts. He's got a kit for about $15 that should fix me up. He did say installation can be a bit tricky, but I'm willing to try for 15 bucks Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    What is broken and how do I fix it?

    I finally got all of the u-joints out of my front driveshaft but something weird happened. I've changed quite a few u-joints but never on a driveshaft like this so I'll try to describe it as best I can. This is on an 86 K25 btw. There is a ball and socket joint between the two u-joints nearest...

    Lugnuts for gmt800 3/4 ton wheels

    Just picked up a set of wheels from a gmt800 this afternoon. The guy told me the lugnuts that came with them are metric and won't work on my 86. So, for you guys that are running these wheels, anybody have a part number for the correct lugnuts with threads on the outside for the center caps...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fixed the old piece of crap radio last night with one speaker. But, it does the job for now. Better than nothing I guess! Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    K20 front driveshaft U-joints

    I pulled my driveshaft out last night because one of my front u-joints has needed replaced since I bought Old Red. I got the front joint out no problem, but I've never dealt with joints like the rears (nearest the tease). I looked up the parts at Oreillys and the joints they called for are the...

    Temp gauge question

    Hopped in ol red the other night to go for a drive and didn't make it two miles before my temp gauge was showing red. Now before this I never even paid attention if it worked. It's a relatively new truck to me and I'm still getting to know it. So I drive back to the house and park it. I went...

    Got turns and brake lights, but nothing else.

    Progress! I fixed that wire and now i have headlights! But, I don't have dash lights and my floor light (under dash) stays on constantly. The dome light also stays on constantly, but is dim. Unless I turn the headlight knob all the way to the left. Then, it's bright as can be. Wth! Could it be...

    Got turns and brake lights, but nothing else.

    Here's an update with some pics. I went back to the source: the starter. I know what you're thinking...genius! How did he do it? What I found was a melted, burned through wire from the solenoid. The yellow and pink one go to the same connector. The yellow one was melted and burned through. You...

    I've got power at the JB. Can't make sense of the wiring diagram. Electrical problems are my kryptonite. What's the next move? Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2

    Got turns and brake lights, but nothing else.

    Got a new switch in there and verified my fuses are good. Still no headlights and the horn doesn't work anymore. Don't know if the two are related Sent from my HTC Hero S using Tapatalk 2
